I think I am one of the uber-otakus in the GB community (and yes, i know about Anime Vice) But I had this idea.  
I watch in excess of 20 series of anime at once, as well as build model kits and collect PVC figures.
What if I was to do Previews and Reviews of Anime?
How would the GB community feel about that?

Most of the people here would probably hate it because the majority of GB users do not like anime, but I'd be interested.

Bring it on. If it's content of excellent quality, I'm game.

Don't they have something like that on the Anime Vice website? If not go for it. I'm saying on Anime Vice. Not here because this is more of a gaming site.

That's where you can decide (about if you should watch the anime or not). 
I know, I will bring Anime to the hearts of the GB community as Prometheus brought fire to mankind.

Ya know, I would buy PVC figures, but they're just too expensive and I don't have the money for them right now. As for your previews and reviews, I'd read them, so I say go for it.

Try AnimeVice. You don't go review ice cream at a hot dog site do you?

I have to say I'm not really interested, but if that's your outlet, far be it from me to stop you. I might not be representative of the majority of GB users. might i suggest a poll.

Put it on both sites and have at it. If not, go for it, screw the haters and see what happens.

@JeffGoldblum: Well that's a great idea, but last time I was on AV, I was flooded with nude pictures of Hatsune Miku on my profile for stating that Genshiken had a lot in common with Haruka no Himitsu. (Anyone have an Idea of waht I am talking about?)

I'd probably ignore it, mainly because I don't have the time to get into anime. Sounds like a good idea, but keep in mind that this is coming from a gaming otaku (I've played several games entirely in Japanese AND LEARNED SOMETHING FROM THEM).

This pretty much.  Though if the Anime is game related, that can certainly work.  It'd be more like reviewing hot dog flavored ice cream on a hot dog site.  Wait...that's rather disgusting analogy...

Reviewing anime is a lot harder than reviewing a game.. its hard to accurately convey what makes an anime good through words. But maybe if you take a lot of screenshots and stuff... It could be interesting.

But you can review films at a videogame website can't you? 
 
I'd like to see it, as though not an otaku, i like anime and manga.

Yes, you guys are right. I never thought of that. I will re-create my AV profile and go on there. But will post links here. Now must go back to research, must find out how vorcha STD made it aboard ship, very dangerous (ME2 quote)

@essaregee: As long as it's awesomeface it'll probably go over well. Good mic, good camera and good editing. Presentation, son. That's the key.

Animes are something that I judge for myself. But I don't doubt that others would like it.

Well looks like it's going over about as  well as  the Titanic. I will post a brief review of Ookami Kakushi sometime next week after I return from a business trip. 
See you later GB community, fun corporate functions await for me *hurray* 
We shall see how it goes for the first Episode haha.

Nude Hatsune Miku? Whoah...i don't know why i'm suprised those exist, but i am... 
And i found Genshiken boring...so i'd probably get a whole lot more crap. 
 
As for the idea, go for it, but expect a lot of haters to come in. Maybe this'll help me decide what anime to watch. I don't like anime communities, those people are way to weird.

This.
 
I can't really put my finger on it but Anime Vice just feels dirty.
