I'm not entirely familiar with the Netflix service either. I guess screencapping immediately is the best solution. Regarding the tags/categories, what about listing the broad categories and then in a (collapsible?) sub-list, create some links to the tagged anime series names. On the front page, it would give the illusion of categories while retaining the true nature of categories/tags. Ahh, okay, sorry I misread that.

I have a notepad file open right next to the player and I type as I watch." That's typically how I do episode summaries as well. I may watch it once just watching it first, but sometimes I won't. Usually it depends how quickly I feel like getting it out. "If you figure out the answer to the problem, please let me know!" Haha, sure thing! “I cap and summarize on the fly.

I have a notepad file open right next to the player and I type as I watch. More on topic, I have the exact same feelings about categories and tags that you do. I feel like the best solution must be some amalgamation of the two. I think tags work better for more editorial blogs, but categories seem to fit when you talk about whole series.

It's only one keystroke, so... Sometimes it's needed to step back a few frames, but not too often. I cap on the fly while watching.

It's just that when I watch a show via Netflix or something, I don't have the discs there when I do the review. As I said, I suppose I could take screenshots as I rent a series and just select the best ones when I do the review, perhaps.

May be something to look in to. I think VLC player will let you take screencaps from DVDs. May be something to look in to.
