Summary: Anime and Manga Reviews have been pruned

I made a rather big change to the site and decided to delete many of the reviews, both manga and anime, that were listed as needing to be rewritten.  I went through them all and removed them when I noticed that in order to rewrite them I would have to actually rewrite the entire review from scratch.  That and the review had no redeeming value other than the screenshots.  I did ease my standards significantly when making this decision and some reviews that were quite poor still made the grade and have been kept.  Other reviews that had a lot of work put into them were deleted when it was noticed that in the end they did nothing more than summarize a manga or anime and usually there were nothing but spoilers in the review.

This has been a sore spot with me for some time and a rather embarrassing aspect of the site as well.  Having done this will allow me to pursue other avenues of growth for the site, like reviews of newer anime or whatever new subject matter I would like to explore.
