    Review your favorite (or least favorite) dubbed anime for a chance to win a fabulous prize!

    Submit reviews to the site using the “Click here to submit your review” button under the Series Info on the anime page. Entrants may submit multiple reviews. All reviews submitted by March 31, 2014, 11:59pm PST will be considered in the judging.

    While your review does not necessarily need to follow this format, it is a good place for novices to start.
    Reviews should follow these general guidelines. However, if you are a confident writer, please feel free to use any format you wish. Need it be said, use proper grammar, punctuation and paragraph form.
    Part 1: Opening
    Use broad, general statements that you will support in your review. Use creative writing tools to grab the readers attention.

    Part 2: Concept or Plot
    A brief synopsis of the plot of the anime. Avoid spoilers. Episode 1 spoilers are acceptable. You might mention the anime’s genre and target audience.

    Part 3: Characters
    Describe the main characters and how they relate to the plot. Are the characters memorable? unique? likeable?

    Part 4: Animation
    Describe the quality of the animation. You might comment on the character design, the backgrounds or color schemes.

    Part 5: Audio
    Describe the quality of the voice acting. Did the actors bring the characters to life for you? You might name some of the notable voice actors. Describe the quality of the soundtrack or opening and closing pieces. Does the music enhance the mood of the anime?

    Part 6: Closing
    Sum up your review.

    I was wondering when the next contest was gonna be...
    And lol, pretty much all the anime that I can be bothered typing a review for lately is sub only. Though, I'm gonna be finishing Bleach within the week or so, so maybe I can do that. ^_^

    I'm assuming no staff, but I'm probably going to write a few anyway.

    I did not exclude staff this time. Most of our prolific writers are staff and they deserve a chance to win too.

    @bedheadred Just for clarification, I'm assuming that all reviews must be submitted during March to be considered? If a review was submitted in February but published in March would it be considered?

    That means I should get working on my Drrr! review.

    Also just to clarify, will people have to write a review from today for it to be considered in the contest. Or do past reviews count? (I presuming the first one, as that makes sense, but I want clarity on this). Also, I doubt I will submit a review this time. I've sort of run out anime that I feel passionate enough about to write a review for.

    I was thinking of doing a review for a while, time to get cracking, will a video be acceptable?

    Only reviews submitted after today's date will be accepted.
    Video reviews are also acceptable.

    I was going to do my review on Drrr! but I realized I had forgotten a few key things for a decent review. As such, I did my review on Psycho-Pass as I had finished it recently and looking, it lacked reviews. Great anime by the way.

    The field is still wide open if you guys are near finishing your reviews. For example I noticed @MrLincecum and @TowaAkeashi have not posted one despite voicing interest.

    Hmm noticed Towa put up the review on his profile. Not sure whether that will result in a DQ or not if he doesn't post it on dtr proper.

    You always save your bullets until the end ^_^

    I'll submit mine today. I wanted to submit them as late as I could so if I got an idea I could still proofread it.
