1. Have fun!!! - The ANL is dedicated to bringing amusement and information to subscribers. (Section 1 covers the format)
1. The Battle Square (now NEO) shall be in every issue and shall provide fights between only animé characters, unless overruled by a 2/3 majority of the staff.
2. At least two reviews shall be in every issue, covering Japanese animé, manga (however, American comics in manga style can slip in), and video games.
3. The staff will come up with at least one article/recipe/other for the middle-end of every issue.
4. A conclusion with all non- star pinged and essential staff will be included at the end of every issue.
5. Endorsements are ALWAYS at the end until terminated by the staff or the endorsee. We do not accept money, this is a free service (as long as it’s animé related, i.e. an Animé Web Shrine).
2. (REVIEWS) We will accept most submitted reviews.
1. If it is hentai (perverted in nature), we have the right to deny and/or edit it.
2. All future reviews that over emphasize DVD special features will be denied. We review anime, not DVDs.
3. The Editor and Censor will abridge and edit accepted reviews.
4. The word of the Editor is final unless overruled by a 5/6 majority staff vote.
5. Anyone who submits a stupid review (i.e.: REALLY bad grammar, or it’s something that violates Art 2 sec ii) will be smote.
3. (BATTLE SQUARE) Article three contains information regarding the Battle Square Neo complex.
1. Obscene language is prohibited.
2. Extreme violence (such as blood and gore) is prohibited unless voted appropriate by 2/3 of the staff.
3. The writer shall be a staff member (Editor, or with the Editor’s approval) who will accept all ideas (not transcripts) for fights and do any necessary research.
4. If subscribers submit full battles, we may or may not use them (which is left to the Editor’s discretion).
5. Any and all pokémon battles shall now (as of 10/1/00) only appear every six issues.
1. Any fights involving Purin do not count as pokémon battles unless he calls another pokémon.
4. (ARTICLES) This section clearly defines Art 1, Sec iii
1. We accept any and all really cool things for this.
2. This can be anything short of a story (although it could be a Shinto or Buddhist myth from JAPAN).
3. Once again, the Editor and Censor have the right to edit it (we will not edit any myths).
4. This shall not exceed one and a half pages in length (if it does, it will be posted on the website, but not the e-zine).
5. (RELIGION) The ANL does not preach any religion.
1. The ANL may discuss religion in terms of animé (etc), but shall not preach any religion (we apologize to anyone who may have felt preached at previously [don’t ask]).
6. ANL Staff
1. Staff will be maintained at 3-7 people (as of 8/1/00), and is not to exceed 7.
2. People can become ANL staff.
1. People can only be hired if six out of eight conditions are met.
1. The conditions are: live near the Editor, have loyalty, love animé-videogames-manga, 2/3 approval from staff, can write decent stuff, can cook, willing to work until three in the morning as a crab on a slab at the bottom of the sea, willing to never be free (not till the day, not till the day he dies).
2. The Editor may auto hire staff if they are close blood relatives, wives, or fiancées to a staff member.
3. ANL staff can be fired
1. These reasons are: illegal use of net space, general unrest, constant disciplinary problem, 2/3 removal, or sudden cease of life (sorry Pedro “NOOOO!!!”).
7. Roles of the Editor
1. The Editor hires/fires staff unless overruled with a 4/5 vote.
2. The Editor has the power to edit/destroy anything that is sent to the ANL.
3. In case of war, the Editor (hence forth to be called Emperor) has control of all military personnel of the ANL
1. In case of war, the first priority is to create a new Argentina where the voice of the people cannot be, and will not be denied!
2. At no time will the Emperor send small kitties out to kill for him/her, unless they are Mexican Deadly Staring Tree Kitties from Southern Sri Lanka.
1. The MDSTKSSL will never be put into life threatening situations.
2. The MDSTKSSL are not allowed to embezzle funds for candy.
3. In case of a rabid flying monkey attack, the procedure is to release the BANANA GOD OF DOOM!!! to wipe them out.
4. The navy can only attack water-locked and/or coastal positions.
5. The air force can only attack by air.
1. The air force shall now be called the Imperial Air Force (IAF).
2. The IAF shall consist of 1/3 of all non-essential personnel. (Currently Cyber Kitty, Gatomon *BANG* [forget that last one], Kamui the Cabbit, Sentret the Pokemon, and Raichu the Pokemon)
6. In no case will the Emperor crush Japan, but rather form a strategic alliance with them.
7. We’ve got explosives!!! KABOOM!!! All goblins will be sent on suicide missions daily.
8. The second priority is to conquer France, thus winning the Editor (and any possible wive[s]/fiancée[s]) lots of yummy croissants.
1. After which, we blow up Quebec since they think it is France, but they are wrong. This sends us to war against all of the non-existent military forces of Canada, thus winning us natural resources.
4. The Editor is a sovereign power and has the ability to smite all those who oppose him/her.
5. The Editor will prevent any mention of David Bowie in the ANL. Lethal force may and will be used to assure this. (Screw you, Empress Ichijoji!)
8. Roles of the Serving Wenches
1. The Serving Wenches are to be respected at all times.
2. The Serving Wenches are to have food available at all times.
3. At no time can the Editor refuse to hire a male to the job of Serving Wench. (i.e.: Gatomon [Sephy’s, not Kari’s] can become a serving wench, if he is hired.)
4. The Serving Wench is to obey the whims and wishes of the Editor at all times of the day/night.
9. The Role of the Web Master
1. The Web Master is to have the ANL web page functioning one month after he/she is hired, or he/she will be replaced.
2. In case of five+ complaints from subscribers and one complaint from a staff member, the Web Master will be replaced.
3. The job of the Web Master is right below Editor, and the Editor has supreme power over the Web Master.
4. Should the Web Master ever ignore a direct order from the Editor, he/she will be replaced.
10. Role of the Pervert
1. To fulfill an animé archetype, a single pervert must be on staff (i.e.: Happosai from Ranma 1/2 or HentaiGatomon... if an appropriate pervert can not be found, a hentai character such as Pink or Cutey Honey is acceptable).
2. He/she is NOT allowed to grope people in the ANL (during an issue), but he/she is allowed to write lemons.
11. Fanfics
1. The Editor, along with the Web Master, views all submitted fanfics and then decides whether or not to post them.
2. We allow anything to be submitted for a fanfic, unless it violates Art 2, Sec i.
3. When any rouge writer who happens to be the Editor yells out “We’ll give you anything you want, even candy!!!” The next step is to smite him with a very large stick.
4. Lemons are to be sent to the staff pervert. After he approves it, it then goes to Art 11, Sec i.
12. Reader Abuses
1. If at anytime we receive hate mail containing vulgar language and/or unhelpful criticism, those parties WILL be removed from the ANL by the MDSTKSSL
2. If any reader mass e-mails messages and/or polls without a 2/3 majority from staff (which then makes it appear as decided by article 4), they will be removed (as of 11/6/00).
