Started hentai review blog!
What kind of a review show would you actually check out?

The main issue with reviews is that obviously you have to censor it if you're going to show parts of the material on-screen. Although you can explain what's going on, sometimes it's better just to see it up front. Like say you're reviewing Monmusu Quest like half the time the screen is going to be blurry. The game itself is already partially censored but you're going to have to censor the chest as well.
That's my two cents anyways. You don't have to put it on youtube but lets face it you're likely not going to get many views if it isn't on youtube unless you're extremely popular where it is linked.
True.... I don't want to suffer from blurs on my vid (rather not do a ton of edits), so streaming live would be the only way around that I'd know (I doubt they would catch a few blurs of showing page images?)... but yeah not YT no hits.

I thought it over more, and given the amount of editing/video work plus lack of ability to show tons of porn on web video sites, I came up with an idea: a review blog with occasional live streaming reviews and calls for other reviews from readers/group discussion!
That way, it will be WAY more diverse reviews (crowd sourcing!) on those days, but for those who want just the written reviews with images for citing (I'll use screenshots of good panels for emphasis, etc), on a blog that is always available.
So, looking for some info on this now...
Which blog hosting site has the best formats to make a nice review layout (ability to intersperse images with captions along with reviews)? They must allow for NSFW content in their policy.
And what live streaming site do people generally find most useful/easily accessed, and most er, able to overlook a few occasional tiny manga screencaps/images (I may review my manga I have in print form)?

It's porn with more effort put into it.
Porn in an art medium.
Semantics, maybe- But I would not call it art.
Difference between 'art' and 'artwork'. Art has meaning, artwork looks good. Sometimes they converge, but not often- and not in hentai. Hentai serves one purpose and one purpose only; boner.
Sure, they have stories. And the stories are magnitudes better than regular porn- but the ultimate goal remains the same: get your rocks off. No moral, no social commentary, no insight, no lesson, no Aesop's Fable.
I have to agree with Pumpjack here. Hentai can be pretty at times, and on a rare occasion, have a tasteful and moving storyline [in the case of the longer series], but hentai in general, is porn. It's meant to be lascivious and fap-worthy, and girlie, that big sexy brain could be used to discuss better things.
Maybe do a 'best-of-the-best', where you pay attention to the high-end stuff, maybe expand your material to involve non-h stuff, too.

So I've decided to go with Tumblr since they allow NSFW stuff (other sites have nicer layouts but rules against it).

Layout for now!
However, I am not seeing any themes I really like. If I made a kind of mock up of what I was looking for, would any user here be able to help me code it into a layout scheme suitable for tumblr?
Figured out something decent.
Now for the first review!

First review is of my first fave, a short but good manga.

I like it. Good job. If you feel like it, maybe you could review this Madoka NTR doujin sometime. I am rather curious on what you would say.

I *am* a Madoka fan, but I don't really dig doujins, and I think I'd be rather biased about that one given I don't like much of the fetishes lol.
I will be totally welcoming review submissions, so PM me if you have one!
Write a nice review (if you like, I'll spell/grammar check it with your permission) and include some screencaps to accompany your written comments regarding particular pages in the story/volume.

Sure. I'll write down a reminder so I can get to it hopefully within this week.

Are you sure you want to use tumblr as opposed to an *actual* blogging platform like Wordpress or LiveJournal? tumblr's main thing is 'microblogging' so it occupies a niche between 'tweeting' and blogging. (Why such a niche should exist is beyond me) Anyway, the point is that tumblr by design is not created for (nor as well equipped) for more serious or lengthy entries that you might be interested in creating on your hentai review blog.

Tumblr's something I already had experience with, and I know they allow plenty of smutty stuff. For now, I think it will suffice.
But yeah, Wordpress would have been ideal if I didn't want to use accompanying images...

Last one for now.

I won't keep bumping the thread with new ones (since this IS for Incoherent Babbling, after all!) but please follow the blog via tumblr or RSS if you like! I'll work out the details for a live discussion soon, but it's likely to start next month when I have some time.
