Contrast CurrentEventsBlog, a blog geared toward reviewing or informing about current events,

A {{blog|s}} that consists mostly of {{review}}s of the media that the author watches/reads, or perhaps a review site constructed with blogging software. Particularly common are anime blogs (usually on an episode-by-episode basis) and book review blogs. These can build up a community of readers who share the writer's tastes - in the case of TV shows and anime fansubs, considerable discussions can arise in comment sections for the entries, acting almost like a discussion forum.
