Announcement: Welcome to Daily Streaming Reviews!

Are the Episode Review links in the feed always going to link to the show's page rather than link directly to the episode review that was posted?

Beyond that, please consider listing the links to the reviews (both on the show's pages and at the bottom of the articles) in newest to oldest order.

Would a consideration be given to place review discussions under their own forum section, instead of Talkback?

Also, how do I turn off the update on the feed for this? I tend to check mostly the ones I'm interested in rather than most or all of them. I tried finding the feed but can't turn this part off.

I will also echo other's suggestion about grouping them together on the front page, or having a dedicated column / section for episode reviews

Also, for the discussion threads, can you add a prefix in the Subject for these episode reviews?

Since I disagree with the reviewers at least 80% of the time, seeing their opinions on each weekly show would be very annoying to me.

I'm going to wait to see if this actually becomes a problem before trying to fix it, but it's a good thing to keep in mind and something I'll keep a close eye on.

In a similar vein, I'm wondering how this is going to mesh with the official discussion threads in the Anime section. I've noticed that people who don't ever comment in discussions there show up in multi-episode review threads (I assume this is due to preferences in where they spend their time here), and that's a good thing to hear new (to me) voices on a series, but when I do comment in talkback review threads, I feel like I'm just saying all the same stuff I said in the discussion thread, only later. Which makes me tend to lurk instead.

It would be excellent to get everyone together at the same time, and it seems like this could do it, but I'm not quite sure how. If you put it in the anime forum, in place of the discussion threads (?), then will those front page only people still show up? If it's only in the talkback section, will there now be two separate weekly discussions happening for each episode?

Sorry, I'm not explaining myself very well, but I hope someone can figure out what I'm asking. :D

It would likely take a bit more work than the usual auto-linking to the forums, but what I'd like to see is the reviews posted in the discussion threads, with the forum link being the page that the review is on, so that the discussion could continue from there.

Right now your option is to go to animenewsnetwork.com/news for just news and animenewsnetwork.com/interest for just interest. I'm collecting suggestions about what kind of frontpage options people want for managing this, but please be patient, changes to the frontpage will take some time and we're heading into a 3-day holiday weekend here in the US. Next week at the earliest for any sort of change.

Suggestion: add a "custom" option to the front page that lets people pick multiple feeds they want. For example, I know some people don't care for Interest articles, so the custom option would let them pick everything but Interest if they wanted. Or everything but Interest and Reviews, or just Interest and News, or whatever particular combo they wanted.

I'm not totally sure about the best interface to use for the custom option though.

You mean posting these reviews in the forum threads for discussion instead of publishing them like every other piece of editorial?
