Top Level Canon Pop Culture Reviews And Analysis

I’m Leila Hann, and I perform Top Level Canon liveblogs, reviews, and analyses of works of fiction of all kinds. My main niche so far has been animation, particularly of the kind produced in Japan, but I’ve also written my pieces on live action TV, movies, books, comics, and video games. I’ve also recently finished the complete works of HP Lovecraft.

I tend toward the Let’s Watch/Read/Play liveblog style, where I react to the text as I proceed through it (preferably blind). In most cases, I’ll follow up the running commentary with an analytical piece. These can be as short as a few paragraphs, or as long as a dozen-page article. I also tend to make a lot of really bad jokes as I liveblog.

My current ongoing projects are the comic Kill Six Billion Demons, and an extended summary/guide to Lovecraft and his creations. Commissioned reviews make up the brunt of what I do, but I update both of those projects at least once per week. Additionally, once per month I do an expedited review from a premium “fast lane” queue.

If you have something you’d like me to review, you can use this PayPal link to commission me or send the fee to leilaerev@gmail.com on Google Pay. Become a patron on Patreon, and you’ll get early access to all my output, as well as other benefits for higher tier patrons including discounted review fees. You can see what’s already commissioned and queued up on this page.

Here are my prices:


Toon Sized: $15 US ($27 US fast lane)
This price is for short, 5-15 minute videos. Think your typical western children's cartoon's length.

Animu Sized: $45 US ($67 US fast lane)
This price is for videos between 20-30 minutes long. Like most anime or young adult show episodes.

TV Sized: $75 US ($108 US fast lane)
45-60 minute videos, like most live action TV shows, fall into this price category.

Comics: $1.25 per page ($1.90 per page fast lane)
Just what it says.

Prose: $1.00 per 250 words ($1.50 fast lane)
For written text works.


Other: variable
I've mostly done TV shows, comics, and cartoons so far, with only occasional forays into other media, so I don't have standardized prices figured out yet. PM or email me, and we can work something out.


I only just got this site, and am still transferring most of my existing work onto it (including all of the Lovecraft stories, as well as multiple seasons’ worth of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, RWBY, and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood). This is going to take a while, but I plan to eventually consolidate everything onto this site. For now, all of my old stuff is accessible either on Patreon, or on the Sufficient Velocity web forum (Lovecraft, JoJo, and RWBY in previous threads). Keep in mind that I started doing this for free as a hobby, so my earlier RWBY and Lovecraft stuff is not nearly up to my current standards of quality; I plan to heavily improve them when it comes time to copy them over.
