One thing I don't think I've mentioned officially on the record is that Anime Snobs only reviews entire series. Not disk 1, or disk 5... THE WHOLE THING. We do it that way for two reasons. The first is that you can get 26 eps of a show released one to two years ago for 35 or 40 bucks these days in some cases, and where this is not possible prices have been slashed drastically across the board. The industry doesn't want to back off their usual $24.99 list, but you can buy those discs for between 12 and 18 dollars in most cases.
The second reason is that I find disc by disc reviews a little... I dunno, like getting your ipod shipped to you in 100 pounds of packing peanuts. You know what you want but it's covered in crap that doesn't help you. Take Anime on DVD for example (who else is there?), the commentary there is pretty good and what I like most is how complete it all is, so I tend to travel there on occasion. When I want to know if a show is good, I click on the last disc review of the series and read the last paragraph. That's it. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone either. Just consider Anime Snobs reviews as that last paragraph with more information and better jokes.
We care about your time, and the time it takes to read things. For some reading is a serious chore, and up until this point were watching anime that honestly is just no good because bloated disc by disc reviews had taken away the light of commentary from their eyes. With my new condensed anime summations they have discovered timeless classics like Sadamitsu the Destroyer, and others. Now that you are totally behind my ARSOME format, click my google ads. I need the money.
