David Majors is a Twitter buddy. Am I bragging? You bet I am. I’m not sure how we found each other exactly but we’ve been politely exchanging tweets for a while now. I’ve always found him to be that difficult to come by mix of authority and respect when it comes to anime topics. I…
Man, I have been out of the nomination post game for a while! That honestly makes me sad. I’m one of the few bloggers that really enjoys nomination posts and of course, the less you respond, the less you get tagged. These things are rough to keep up with though. If you’re not careful, you’re…
Ok…I’m a little late on this… It’s just that you guys give me so many reasons to celebrate – I can’t keep up! You are the greatest! A little while ago – I hit the big 1k WordPress readers. Is this more important than the overall 1k – I have no clue but I’m less…
We’ve gone through some stuff together haven’t we… You and I. I have been hitting a few of those random milestones lately. With the anniversary of this blog and nice round numbers of followers and so forth, I’ve been writing a lot of those blog introspection posts. I know what I’m supposed to do. I’m suppose…
This may be difficult to believe given the contents of my blog, but I actually prefer writing reviews. I love reading essays, news articles and think pieces of all types but as far as creating goes, I tend to like my reviews more. To each his own of course, I know a lot of bloggers…
In a perfect world, anime would be all things. It would be beautiful to look at and mesmerizing to listen to. It would be deep, meaningful and incisive while relaxing and escapist and of course always interesting. It would be attractive but not creepy and just the right type of funny. In a perfect world…
So far, I’ve been sticking to defending things that absolutely no one is attacking, making for a fairly successful and easy run. The importance of choosing your battles! But this time, I may have bitten off more than I can chew.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m starting to forget hat sunshine looks like. We went from short days and snowfall straight to grey days and endless rain. Buddy keeps waiting for me to open a door into summer and my unwillingness to comply is not at all amusing to him. So as a…
I didn’t manage to take part in last month’s OWLS tour as I’ve always struggled discussing music and I’m sort of glad I sat out. My OWLS companions’ posts would have put me to shame… Mind you, the fact that I’m surrounded by intimidatingly talented boggers has never really bothered me before. Which is why…
I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t resist a dating sim. I wish I could say I can’t resist a good dating sim, but the fact is, I’ve played some pretty bad ones to completion and I will do so again in the future. There’s just something about those shallow, ridiculous occasionally brain numbingly…
You know I try to answer tags in a reasonable time frame. I don’t always succeed but I do try. It always means a lot to me to get tagged by one of you, so when both super cool Nairne (I’m a bit intimidated, I admit) and super sweet Ryuji were kind enough to think…
OK not really but it definitely is making me crave some variety…. I mentioned it in my Monster Girls review but I’ve come to realize how similar anime character body types are. It’s getting a little boring…. I remember when I first watched Miss Kobayashi, I was struck by the fact that the girls had…
Back in the olden days when I first started blogging, I was a little baffled and generally fascinated by the concept of Blogger nominations. It took me a while to realize that these where simply casual tags that bloggers gave each other as a sign of recognition and appreciation and not some formal obligation. This…
And I’ve been extremely lucky to get some recognition from my fellow bloggers and I won’t lie, it feels great! First the lovely Josmarie from It’s An Anime Thing (remember guys, she changed her domain not that long ago – make sure to update those bookmarks if you haven’t yet!) recognized me as a new…
About two months ago, a group of talented bloggers and all around great people gave me the chance to try something I had never done before. As a short reminder, my truly lovely Inomminate castmates are Shoujo, Leth, Scott, Hazelyn & Remy, who I will never be able to really describe in how great they…
