Reviews Rules
Reviews Rules
General Guidelines when writing a review on Yummy Anime, follow these recommendations to increase the chances of your work being approved without additional revisions.
Please note that we interpret the term "review" more broadly than its academic definition. Avoid writing in a strictly academic format.
1. Topics and Specifics
Understand that your review is likely to be read by people who haven't seen the anime, so it's important to provide enough context for them to decide whether it's worth watching. Be specific about events and characters. Vague descriptions apply to nearly any work — if your text could describe any anime, it’s underdeveloped.
2. Analysis
Try to analyze the work: describe the setting and plot, highlight its strengths and weaknesses, and draw parallels with similar anime. Including your personal opinion is important.
3. Structure
Follow a clear structure: for example, one section for characters, another for animation, and another for the soundtrack, etc.
4. Grammar and Spelling
Your text must be grammatically correct and adhere to the rules of the Russian language.
5. Character Count
Minimum character count: 1500
Maximum character count: 100000
6. Formatting
The review must be properly formatted: avoid large blocks of unbroken text. Use paragraph breaks and formatting tools (italic, bold, underline, etc.) appropriately.
7. Spoilers
Spoilers are allowed, but you must include a warning at the beginning of the review. You may also use a spoiler-hiding feature. Plot points from the first two episodes or the first 20 minutes of a movie do not count as spoilers.
8. Images and GIFs
Images and GIFs are welcome in your review, but do not overuse them.
9. Season Reviews
Reviews for later seasons should only be published after a review of the first season exists. Start with season one.
In reviews for subsequent seasons, do not re-explain the plot or characters from earlier seasons — this should be covered in the first season’s review.
If the review covers all seasons, it should be published on the first season’s page.
If the review covering all seasons contains spoilers, include a spoiler warning for each season at the beginning of the text.
10. Ongoings
Reviews are not allowed for anime that have not yet aired.
11. Slang
Avoid using slang in your review as much as possible.
12. Use of AI
The use of artificial intelligence in writing reviews is strictly prohibited.
13. Translated Reviews
Translating someone else’s review is not allowed.
14. Questions
For any questions, contact the Head of the reviews department Nord or other reviewers.
