The three departments are

Field Agency- Agents who review most anime

Special Teams- Agents who will review anime with unique characteristics

Agents watch anime of all kinds, despite genre, release date, and even rating, searching for the redeeming qualities within each show.

A review, developed by several agents, is created and posted under the myanimelist.net account “Area51.”

This review is an honest critique of the show, coupled with the lesson, moral, or message it portrays.
