What criteria do the staff use for selecting which DVDs and manga get the full review treatment?

Is there a link I've overlooked that would answer this for me? And just to clarify, I'm not asking to make recommendations for future reviews. I just wanted to know the process used.

The exact balance varies from reviewer to reviewer and month to month, but what we review is always some combination of what we get sent as screeners + what we personally choose to do. (We do buy or rent a lot of what we end up reviewing, after all.) There's no special criteria beyond that, although we generally don't do hentai titles, titles that aren't directly related to anime/manga, or volumes that aren't the most recently-released one for the series; backlogs can make exceptions to the latter, however.
