AnimeOshi separates several kinds of written contribution: Episode Review, Series Review (Anime Review), and Discussion. Only the numeric episode rating affects the OshiMeter.
AnimeOshi has several distinct kinds of written contribution, such as Episode Review, Anime Review (also called a Series Review), and Discussion — and none of them change an episode's OshiMeter, which moves only on the numeric episode rating.
On an anime's pages you can write a long review, drop a quick and short review, start a theory thread, or ask a question — and it's easy to mix them up. Each format has a specific scope and a specific home on the site. This page disambiguates them and clarifies which (if any) touch the OshiMeter.

An Episode Review is a short in-line review tied to one specific episode. An Anime Review is a long-form written review of an entire anime series. The split mirrors the platform's core idea: AnimeOshi cares about episodes as well as whole shows, so it gives each its own review type.
A Discussion is a community-feed thread for ideas, theories, and open questions about an anime, with no rating attached.
None of these written formats change an episode's OshiMeter. The score moves only on the numeric episode rating, which is the 1–5 star score (plus optional attribute scores) that a fan submits through the rating flow. Episode Reviews, Series Reviews, and Discussions add context and community, but they are separate from the rating that feeds the score.
Q: What is the difference between an Episode Review and an Anime Review?
An Episode Review is a Short in-line reaction review of one episode. An Anime Review, also called a Series Review, is a long-form review of a whole series. Same review format, different scope.
Q: Is "Anime Review" the same as "Series Review" on AnimeOshi?
Yes. Series Review and Anime Review are two names for the same thing: a long-form written review covering an entire anime series.
Q: Does writing a review change the OshiMeter score?
No. The OshiMeter moves only on the numeric episode rating (the 1–5 star score and optional attribute scores). Episode Reviews, Series Reviews, and Discussions do not change the score.
