Review: Anime Galaxy

Forum; Forumotion

It is really difficult to say if this is a canon or an original story RPG. The use of youtube videos of anime and the site's name "anime galaxy" suggest it could be based on an actual anime. The plot information mentions names and places which may be recognised by fans of a particular anime, but to a random visitor it means nothing.

Unable to say.

Other than a rant about cursing in the rules there is no specific mention of a rating. I did find at least one RP threat listed as "M" though.

Appears to be November 2012.

Beginner.

Varies from a few lines to 3 paragraphs.

It varies depending on the roleplayers; some post several times a day, others post every few days.

It is a very basic theme, although this is something I have come to expect from sites hosted on forumotion.com so I do wonder if that is just a downside of this forum host. The icons used for new/old/locked topics are also very similar to one another and it's difficult to tell them a part.

At first glance the forum is well structured and clearly labelled. That is until you actually click a sub-forum and then it's difficult to find information due to vague topic titles.

I would suggest renaming the topic with the actual plot as it isn't easy to find. I had to click several topics before I found the one that had the actual plot summary. Also the embedded youtube video automatically starts streaming which is annoying and can cause visitors to lag.

Everything is vague and generalised, and the rules are simply a wall of rambling text without any format.

There does not appear to be any way to contact the staff, not even a chat box. The only guest friendly area that I could find was the advertising section.

A profile template is provided for members to fill out and post in the appropriate forum. No writing sample is required.

This RPG is fine for people who just want a space to roleplay, but not for those looking for an RPG where effort has been made. It does feel like the creator just woke up one day and decided to create an RPG by throwing a forum together. That's fine if you just want somewhere for you and your friends to roleplay, however, if you want to reach a wider audience then there are a lot of improvements that need to be made.
