I think this blog fits in this particular category: The critical analysis school, paralleling political science, assumes a knowledge of the series thus dispensing with comprehensive summaries in its writings. Adherents of this school often comment extensively on technical aspects (such as quality of animation, music, voice acting etc.) and / or use the comparative method to situate the anime in question within its topic genre (e.g. action, romance, drama etc.), pedigree (studio or production house), the role of Japanese language, culture and symbolism in fully understanding the plot etc. Often implicitly build theories (E.g. What makes a series a harem series as opposed to merely a romance series? What factors determine a character’s chance of being killed off in Gundam series? etc.) Exponents of this very demanding style include the Memento duo of Garten and Mentar (who are justly famous for their insightful discussions of Mai HiME). A large sub-section of this school includes the witty commentary school which often employs humour (e.g. Sea Slugs, Life Line by Line and / or liberal use of biting wit and sarcasm (KarmaBurn, Cinnamon Ass).

I've always enjoyed your GSD entries in particular. And Matthew is my top referrer - simply quite amazing when I look at the stats... though many others also contribute significant amounts of traffic as well. Thanks, Epi!
