1 - How often do you visit D2? If it is not very often, why?
I try to visit the site at least every week, but sometimes there are long time lapses between visits. This is because the updates on this site seem to be fairly infrequent, so usually I wait for a time before checking in so that I can see what is new.

2 - How often do you post on the forums in D2? If not very often, why?
I don't post often, once every couple of times. It just seems that the forums are filled with only a few threads that are still being commented on, and those take time to read through, so usually if I post on anything it'll be a new thread, or one where reading prior posts are not necessary.

3 - If you could change anything at all, what would you change about the site?
In terms of changing the site, I would like a feature from the old site to return. The old site had the latest forum posts featured on the front page, which was a nice shortcut to the latest posts.

4 - What would you like to see more of?
Something that I really enjoyed from the convention the Brigade went to was all the crossover videos came out of that. Those were all really enjoyable, and I wish that there were more of them. Also, the Tsubake videos were really great bits of comedy with the HK-47ish robot that we all fear. Something else that I wish that there were more of are JO's anime reviews and Glass Reflections, because those are the reviews I enjoy the most.

5 - What would you like to see less of?
Hmmmm, not sure there's anything that I would specifically like to see of.

6 - Is there anything “broken” with the site that the Brigaders do not seem to be aware of? (Links, search function, etc.)
I have noticed that some of the older reviews, especially the ones from the Con, don't seem to exist. Like the video for the Venus Wars Rifftrax, the pages don't even have a video in the page.

7 - How do you feel about each of the Brigaders? (Honest but polite, please, and give your reasons.)
JesuOtaku - Probably my favorite reviewer, and I first saw her on Youtube, which is how I learned about the D2brigade. Her reviews seem to be the best structured, and the openings and endings that somehow tie in with the anime she's reviewing are usually really clever.

Arkada - His reviews seem to be the most technically proficient of the site, and are also pretty enjoyable I find. His Countdowns seem to be pretty sporadic, but other than that, his reviews are really enjoyable.

Prof - Usually I find his videos ok but the anime that he reviews tend to be really old ones that I haven't watched, or haven't heard of. So, I don't watch him all that much.

Vixen - The reviewer with the greatest.....stage presence.....sorry, just had to get that joke out of the way. The early reviews were kinda irritating to watch because the sound and video quality weren't the greatest, but the movie quality did improve, and the reviews did improve (although I really disagree with her opinion over Princess Mononoke).

Mal, Rabbit, Hitch, Kagami - Really sorry for bundling all these guys together, but I haven't seen enough of their videos to rate them. Sorry.

8 - How do you feel about the MWF and weekends schedule change?
Not really sure how the schedule change works out, but I do notice that the output of videos seems to have slowed dramatically.

9 - Do you use the fan blogs? What do you post?
I haven't posted in the blogs for a long time, and when I did, it was really random stuff that I kinda cringe at remembering.

10 - Are you interested in site affiliation with your site? Or do you have suggestions for D2 site affiliations?
I really wish that I had a site (and the time), as for affiliations, TGWTG seems like it would be the one that is most like this site. Although with JO on TGWTG, dunno how exactly that would work out.

11 - Do you have a YouTube account? Would you subscribe to the D2 youtube account?
I kinda have a Youtube account (one that I never use), but if there was an official D2 youtube account, I'd subscribe.

12 - Do you listen to the D2 Podcast? Why or why not?
I listen off and on, because the podcasts are so long, it takes a serious amount of time to listen to them, so I tend not to watch them.

13 - What do you like the most about D2?
The thing that I like the most about D2 would probably have to be the site's focus on reviewing anime. I don't think that I've seen another site that has so many reviews on different anime, and that really helps trying to see what I would like to see.

14 - What do you like the least about D2?
What I like the least is how few reviews and videos seem to be released now. This kinda ties into the reason why I don't visit the site as much as I used to. I'm probably being a little insensitive due to how people's personal lives might interfere with the output, but that is still a complaint I have.

15 - Anything else you’d like to comment on?
Not really, think that I've said about everything that I wanted to. Hope this helps

1. How often do you visit D2? If it is not very often, why?
Almost everyday, because I find it entertaining

2. How often do you post on the forums in D2? If not very often, why?
To me the forums are kinda like WOW, when I'm active I post often, when I'm not active I barely post, if at all. Why? Well thats because sometimes I get bored, or I want to know some of my fellow otaku's opinions, also a big factor is that all my freinds are martial arts nuts, so I really can't talk about anime, something I LOVE, which really sucks. When I dont post it is most likely, because I have nothing to say, and/or am busy with other stuff.

3. If you could change anything at all, what would you change about the site?
First, I would get rid of any hentai If I wanted a to see a hentai review I would go to a hentai review site. Second, get rid of any lolicon focused reviews like Kodoma no Jikan. Even though I enjoy seeing the reviewers rage over it followed by peoples raging respones, makes me feel good that there are plenty of people who hate those kind of shows just like me. Third, I would join the D2 brigade, and make videos of me raging (face it it feels good to rage) over whatever subject I choose. Fourth, since I can choose anything. I would have some way to make people vote in polls on the forums. Have you seen how many people view a poll thread and don't vote?

4. What would you like to see more of?
More reviews especialy, Arkada reviews, more skit like stuff in the reviews, and more participation on the forums from the D2 members.

5. What would you like to see less of?
See the answer to question #3

6. Is there anything “broken” with the site that the Brigaders do not seem to be aware of?
Not that I know of.

7. How do you feel about each of the Brigaders? (Honest but polite, please, and give your reasons.)

First please keep in mind I'm a pestimist so if I accidently offend you I am sorry and I am honestly trying to critque you. All of this Is just my opinion

Arkada
The good: He is my favourite reviewer. He is funny, does the best special effects, seems like he does background checks on the anime he reviews, and the final verdict thing is good.

The bad: Over the years his reviews feel like they have gotten shorter, His review week of awesome was alittle disappointing, they seemed rushed. I think he should have done the reviews on the side and then put them up, that way he could do super-duper awesome stuff with the reviews. Then posted them. I can wait long periods of time for stuff I like. I would be willing to wait up to 2 years for a week full of uberfied Arkada reviews on steroids. I wish he would release his 'top' stuff all at once, like I said I can wait.


Prof
The good: I like that his character is drawn, that his reviews pick out both the good and the bad of an anime, and says stuff sarcasticaly about how if people are different they must be ostrasized.

The bad: His complaining (NOT whining) is sometimes excessive, which results in a boring review. Lately he has been switching back and forth between his animated self and real world self in his reviews. I would prefer
he choose one or the other. I would also like to see some newer drawings of his animated self.

Vixen
The good: She has the best opening, I like how her reviews often involve other people, and she is pretty (along with all the other women of the D2 brigade, remember I'm a pestimest so, THIS IS NOT FLATTERY, OR TO JUST BE POLITE.)

The bad: I hate that she does hentai reviews, and other taboo anime like kodomo no jikan. Because of this I wont tell anyone that doesnt have an understanding of Japan's otaku culture about the site. I don't need weird looks from people. Sometimes I feel she gets a little spoilerish in her reviews.

JO
The good: If I had a question about anime she would be the first I would turn to, she seems to have the most knowledge about anime out of all the D2 members. She is a good actor. I really like her rating system.

The bad: She really doesn't do that many reviews anymore. As good of actor as she is, I don't think she exploits this enough in her reviews.

Malakye
The good: I like the weekly segments/asian oddities in pocky spot, I like how he has never shown his face before, the variety of pocky spot is very nice.

The bad: He made Tsubake, I dont really think the sake shots are all that informative they are based on one episode after all, i dont like his new character design.

Hitch
The good: I find his first impressions really useful. they sometimes change my mind about viewing an unclicensed anime that has just come out. Its nice to see movies reviewed they dont get enough attention. I like his grading system.

The bad: He reviews hentai, his movie reviews are quite spoilerish I know its hard to not spoil stuff when what your reviewing may not even be a hour long, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Rabbit
The good: She is the only one who reviews manga, and I like most of her art.

The bad: She really doesnt do that many reviews

Kagami

The good: She is the only one that makes AMVs, Her AMVs are some of the best I have ever seen, her AMVs don't have subtitles (god I am so sick of seeing people do that)

The Bad: She really doesnt post that many AMVs, she hasnt made an AMV using Elvis music, she hasn't made a slayers AMV.

Tsubake (your name doesn't get to be in bold, ha ha!)
The good: You can call her Tin-Tits, she is vulnerable to magnets and fox girls.

The bad: She is super annoying, she hasn't been hit by a truck yet

I hope this was help full and didnt piss you off or something, except for Tsubake she can go swallow a magnet for all I care.

8. How do you feel about the MWF and weekends schedule change?

I have mixed feelings about it, on one hand you get a bunch of videos at once , but on the other hand you dont get a video every day.

9. Do you use the fan blogs? What do you post?

No, I dont use them.

10. Are you interested in site affiliation with your site? Or do you have suggestions for D2 site affiliations?
Nope

11. Do you have a YouTube account? Would you subscribe to the D2 youtube account?

I have an account, but I dont find a reason to subscribe since you have a site.

12. Do you listen to the D2 Podcast? Why or why not?

If I listen I rarely finish. I always get bored.

13. What do you like the most about D2?

It is entertaing

14. What do you like the least about D2?

Hentai reviews

15. Anything else you’d like to comment on?

More reviews please, including a Slayers mega-review.

Sadly, not that often any more. No real reason, just kinda lost touch with the site after the first one was hacked.

1. How often do you visit D2? If it is not very often, why?
Every day. It's one of the 6 sites I go to as part of my morning routine.

2. How often do you post on the forums in D2? If not very often, why?
Infrequently. Only when I feel passionate about something.

3. If you could change anything at all, what would you change about the site?
Nothing really.

4. What would you like to see more of?
More discussion of the underlying philosophy within anime. (see question 15)

5. What would you like to see less of?
I'm not sure.

6. Is there anything “broken” with the site that the Brigaders do not seem to be aware of? (Links, search function, etc.)
I don't know what it is, but sometimes it freezes up when I use my Safari browser. Whenever that happens I switch to Firefox and it's okay.

7. How do you feel about each of the Brigaders? (Honest but polite, please, and give your reasons.)
You're all an interesting bunch of characters. Jesu Otaku first brought me to this site after I found her on YouTube. Now Arkada and JO are my favorite tagteam of reviewers. But honestly I like all of you guys. I like that you're just being yourselves, as wacky as that might be at times. Keep up the good work.

8. How do you feel about the MWF and weekends schedule change?
I'm okay with it.

9. Do you use the fan blogs? What do you post?
No. I haven't used them yet.

10. Are you interested in site affiliation with your site? Or do you have suggestions for D2 site affiliations?
No.

11. Do you have a YouTube account? Would you subscribe to the D2 youtube account?
Yes and yes.

12. Do you listen to the D2 Podcast? Why or why not?
I honestly haven't yet. But I like listening to podcasts so i'm going to check it out right away.

13. What do you like the most about D2?
I love it when a Brigader introduces me to something new and exciting. Or helps me to see something in a different way. I also get excited when something I already love is reviewed. Like when a Brigader reviewed Time of Eve, Haibane Renmei or FLCL. If it wasn't for D2 I would not have sought out Kara no Kyoukai, now one of my all-time favorites.
I love to hear what my fellow Otaku think. You feel like an extended yet dysfunctionaly weird family to me.

14. What do you like the least about D2?
The site could be more polished. I totally understand that you're running this site on a shoestring budget, But it kind of shows.

15. Anything else you’d like to comment on?
I would like to see more content that would stimulate the mind. As an example, there's this guy I found on YouTube who calls himself the Philosotaku. He breaks down and discusses what he believes to be the underlying philosophy within an anime. Occasionally a Brigader does that in their review, but I would like to see more of it. Or Maybe you can recruit the Philosotaku to the Brigade. Honestly, I don't know the guy and I'm not writing this on his behalf.
