What we're going to do for YOU, because we're so great

Anime Snobs is a place where my partner and I are going to tell you about the shows were watching at the moment, what we like and what we don't like. That's all. I'm not going to tell you anything about us except that we are a husband and wife team, and we know more about anime than you. Failure to heed our sage advice may lead to you riffing on some crap like Strawberry Eggs in front of a person who prevously thought you were cool. BE WARNED. But first some ground rules...

1. Prepare to be offended. It will most likely happen. Most likey before I'm done with the ground rules.

2. Shonen titles are viewed with a high grade of skepticism here. There are some exceptions, according to report, but in general it's not worth considering them because watching them hurts our eyes. PS: There have been some Naruto AMVs I have seen that did not suck. Some that is, not all.

3.We don't torrent our anime, we pay for it you rebel scum. So don't post some yang like, "OH YOUZ GUYS GOTTA CHECK THE JND FS OF KYO DOH GUUMEN HOTORI MUZOH!!! HER IS THE TORR LINK! LOL ROFLMAO -LRDSHINJIROX!!!!!!-" Expect a formal drubbing on this subject soon in the tone of Pat Reynolds.

4. Anime Snobs does not suffer any 'fannish' nonsense. If we can remain generally acceptable persons while watching cartoons from Japan, than we expect others can follow the usual social conventions of the world as well. Stuff like; showering, wearing clean clothes, holding down a job, not living in your mom's basement past the age of 30, avoiding panic attacks at the idea of missing the "Inu-Yasha Plushies" panel, and most especially not bragging about your extensive collection of creepy anime girly figurines that you can look up the skirts of. Don't do these things, we would appreceate it.

5. Though the name of the blog is "Anime Snobs", we reserve the right to snob up anything we want. In addition to the obvious, we will probably talk about manga, videogames, techology, music and culture and you will like it.

6. We will probably write way more about the things we like and a lot less about the crap. Expect some posts in this format...
"Thoughts on the anime classic, "You're Under Arrest!"- Utterly boring tripe. I got it for free and I want my money back."

7. Lastly we want to tell everyone that this is not a review site, it is a place where we tell you what's good and what isn't. After reading us for awhile, you might get the impression that the popular review sites/publications of the day don't have your best intentions at heart. We don't either, but we aren't getting ad reveue from publishing houses in return for our efforts at least.

Are you kidding? Taiho Shichauzo is the best, greatest, superb!

Though if Tamagawa Sakiko wasn't in Taiho Shichauzo, I might have agreed with you.

Honestly, not biased at all.
