I love my internship! Telecommunications requires all of us to do an internship before we graduate. Luckily, one of my professors runs a game review site, Gamerz Edge *shameless plug*, and it was easy to get an internship there. Very easy in fact, as they needed somebody to help review the anime. Yes, part of my job is to review anime.
Now, most of the time, we receive what are called review or preview copies. They may or may not have all their menus, they may or may not have the extras, they may not even have the Japanese audio available. Hell, the last one I reviewed, UFO UltraMaiden Valkyrie, only had three of the four episodes on it, and the second and third episode only had the English audio. But sometimes, just sometimes, they send the actual real dvd that they will sell.
I'M REVIEWING FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST! *squeeeeeeeeeeeee* Seven volumes! Mine to watch, mine to review, and MINE TO KEEP! Normally, this type of series is one that I would buy a box set of to keep, but I get it free, just because I will review it. *squee* And the dvds are nice... I promise I'll link to the reviews when I finish them, but part of the review is the presentation of the dvd - its menus, the dvd label, the box itself. And FMA looked like they pulled out all the stops on. *squee*
Oh, and I get to review the mangas Monster vol 1 and Hikaru no Go vol 1. Travis got Samurai 7, so I don't get all the goodies. ;-)
