Anime Unknown Template

Published:

Description

I made a separate, anime-exclusive template for my Animation Unknown series (though, keep in mind, when I use this card they'll still count towards the same episode number as the Animation Unknown). The reason for the separate card and not just using the regular AU cards for anime? Well, anime has different rules, different writing, different art (for the most part, a lot of it is pretty similar unless it's going for a different style like Panty & Stocking), and it really can't be compared the same way as cartoons/animation from the rest of the world--unless they try to mimic its artstyle or writing like the original Teen Titans or the 2003 Ninja Turtles reboot. Same rules as the Animation Unknown cards apply, though (seen here: AU Tutorial) though now Bonus/Penalty Stars can be given for an additional reason: if the series surpasses/insults the manga (assuming there's a manga counterpart, which most anime series usually have aside from OVA series, hentai, etc.).

On that note, I don't really recommend using this card for hentai, simply because there's no real point. Hentai is basically written only to appeal to someone's fetishes or sexual arousal so it's not like, say, Boku no Pico, A Forbidden Time, or Bible Black can be held up to the same standards as Ikki Tousen, Inukami, or the like (good or ill). There's a few other major differences here:
*Because there's still a good chunk of western/international audiences that are either not into anime/turned off by it, the rules for what counts as "obscure" or "overlooked" are a bit looser--just so long as you don't go with stuff like Dragonball Z, Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, stuff that almost everyone has at least HEARD of (unless you're referring to specific episodes).
*The listings for "Specials" refers to any OVA's or the like that are either not part of the main series or not considered canon which includes but is not limited to movies, OVA's, specials, stand-alone projects like Christmas specials or something, anything of that sort (if the work in question is already an OVA, then list the episodes there and put NA or similar under Episodes; when reviewing a movie based on or working off an existing anime, then the episodes of said anime are listed and, if the movie is part of a series, the other movies in said series are listed as well, even if one/some/all are stand-alone or non-canon with both/either the series its based on or the film series itself)
*Length (preferably measured in minutes, but it doesn't have to be if it's over an hour) is reserved only for OVA's, specials, and films; if it's a normal episode or series, one can assume that it's roughly 22 minutes (give or take, depending on opening/closing themes) this can remain blank.
*ONLY list the author/writer(s) of the manga for the work in question (if applicable) if they differ from the anime adaptation; if its an original work like a film, no such distinction is needed.
*The Translation Bar is to be used to judge how good/poor the English dub (if applicable) is--either on its own or if you feel the original Japanese with English subtitles are superior. If a dubbed copy doesn't exist/can't be found, then this bar is ignored and can be labelled inapplicable to the final score.
*Lastly, you are free to use this template however you see fit (if you feel it meets the criteria, which is a bit less ambiguous for reasons previously stated) as long as you credit me for ownership of this template in the description. (AN: It's not like I'm gonna come down on you about it, unless you try claiming that it's yours, but it's just the polite thing to do and helps me get further publicity and that really helps both of us)
