In a previous suggestion (which was resolved with the new spoiler tag for comments) Avich mentioned this option.
...There would be a separate main comment section for the whole anime title and a sub comment section for the specific anime episode...note for the sub comment section to not read it if you haven't watched that specific episode...

I think this is a good idea since I personally like to talk about what I just saw instead of just offering a vague opinion such as ,"this anime was funny" or ,"this was sad." Since I'm quoting you, Avich, obviously you've considered this idea. I just want to know if you're still considering this. This is also a bit of a reminder if it was forgotten after the initial problem was solved.

On a side note, is there a way to add a "Next Episode" button. This might prevent people from choosing a wrong episode on accident, only to realize their mistake after it takes a few "precious" minutes to load.

Also, if it could be done, is there possibly a way to have an automated private message sent to you when a new episode of a certain anime comes out; a bit like a subscription/notification. For example, if I want to be alerted when a new episode of FMA:Brotherhood comes out, I would apply to receive a notification whenever a new episode comes out. Believe it or not, not everyone wants to check the newly updated videos page... This option would only be available for uncompleted series and the option to apply for notifications disappears after a series is completed. The notifications can also be canceled at any time.

Another thing I would like to place in consideration is links to others in the same series. For example, people watching "Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei" might not know about a second season from looking at the alphabetical list of anime considering the second season starts with Z and is All The Way down at the Bottom Of The List. My suggestion is to place a link on the description page (the one with all the episodes listed as well as the anime information, ie: genre, summary,etc.) leading to others that relate to the same series (ex: other seasons/OVAs/Movies).

The commentating thing is a big mess, IMO.
I like your idea about the "next episode" and update alerts (sorta like FanFiction).
I'm pretty sure that it'd be easy to link OVA's and other related series, but only on the main page of that anime, so it wouldn't clutter.

The individual commentary is stupid because it'll be spammed. People will end up vying for the coveted position of "first"
Besides, when I look for new anime to watch, I look in a forum, not in the video comments. Because we all know people who continue to watch an anime will like it, and people who don't like them wont pause to write reasons why not to watch it.

Function now added (thanks jim). Check the anime index page, it is already implemented.
