Anime Video Reviews?!

[Narumi Misuhara]

Do you have a media channel where you post anime reviews?

We are thinking of having a new landing page on Gaia where we feature *your* video review of anime shows/content. Thoughts on this?

The way we're thinking it would work for now is as follows:
1. Let us know you are interested! You can do that simply by saying so here, and posting where we can find your stuff.
2. We would stalk your content for the latest and greatest anime reviews or anime related content you did and embed them on our landing page for others to view
3. If you have a guild centered around the video we could link that under your video to!

Here's an example of the flow...

Lets say I am a huge Sword Art Online fan and had a review of the series. I would post here and be like.
"Yo Narumi, check it. [link to offsite uploaded media location (like YouTube, Vimeo, etc.)] and link dis shiz. [Guild of Sword Art Online I run]"*

*Over-the-top example

We would highlight multiple people's content and highlight it for a week or a month probably.

Q&A

Why are we thinking of doing this?
We want to put focus back on something we feel we lost, our anime roots!

What's in it for me?
More visibility for the content you create!

What's in it for Gaia
The same as you actually.
In addition, long term we hope to grow a strong anime community with content created not by us, but you!

So, I would love your thoughts on this. The above is by no means final, it is still in the idea stage. Sound good? Sound horrible? Let us know below!

Sounds AWESOME! emotion_bigheart

[Mallek Adalov]

Yes, this sounds awesome. This is a great idea.

[5Tsunade-sama]

Yay for more anime!

[xQueen of Pawnsx]

Sounds like a fun idea! I may have to start doing anime reviews now.

Sounds like a cool idea. Maybe eventually widen it up and allow tv show and video game reviews and gameplays?

[DJ Twissta]

Maybe add more incentive.

You could possibly add items/achievements as prizes. This could also include new items that are only acquired through people who make review videos. Maybe tier it based on the quality of their work.

edit: I just hate the idea of "we'll pay you in exposure" LOL

edit 2 : art from Gaia artists for top contributors.

[Sagebomb]

I dont make much of my own content but its always interesting to see what others are doing.

[H A U N T Z]

I can see potential heart

[not this book]

Gotta say gaia, I don't like this one bit.

You're trying to get free advertisement saying you'll advertise as well, but I am pretty sure you guys will benefit from it much more than the person making the videos.

this smells like a classic "Hey artist, I will buy x art from you and I will credit you by sharing the piece with my friends!"

Sorry, this is just my thought but I really don't like it :<

[Zozo the Stray]

Oh, ohh! Could this also possibly open the doors to let's plays and game streaming too? It'd be so awesome to have let's play videos to watch, featuring the site's users. You guys on the admin team could even make some yourself! eek

[Borne the Burden]

I think adding other media to it would be more encouraging. Some people like to review albums or movies/dramas, just maybe spotlight the anime aspect? I don't know.

[soultaker espada]

please don't do this and here is why. sub vs dub.

[Dangsin-nim]

Bless this this is like

Like anime related conventions like doujin events, or anime festival asia??
