Well that was fast. Some streamlining has apparently been done to the submission process and so it only took 2 weeks instead of 2 months this time. I’m happy to see that several anime bloggers were accepted this round, more than tripling the size of the subset. I also noticed Hung got [...]

5/7/2008 – 12:15 pm
If you want to get listed, submit your page before midnight EST. The submission form is pretty short and sweet, and 9rules itself has been redesigned to be much more streamlined and user-friendly.
The Best Team Blog Isn’t a Blog
4/29/2008 – 4:15 pm
Since Kabitzin has been diligently pimping the ABA these past few weeks, I figured I’d better chip in with my own tearful and drama-ridden explanation of my voting choices. But that would have taken too long, so instead I’ll just grouse about who I believe should have been a nominee for the best team [...]

There’s only 4 days left to get your nominations in for the 2008 Anime Blog Awards (nomination phase ends on Tuesday, April 22). So if you have an anime blog, please nominate fellow bloggers that you think have done an excellent job this year.
Think of this as the ABA primaries. Your [...]
Lazy Summertime
4/14/2008 – 9:51 pm
Well, here’s the results of the blog sign poll. Aside from the sharp spike in the Scorpio months, the winter months seem to be the most popular for birthing blogs.
In fact, if not for the Scorpio spike, it looks like spring and summer do not inspire anyone to start a blog. [...]
You Come Here Often?

I made the mistake of paying attention to one of Totali’s comments today, and it actually got me to thinking about what SS!AB’s blog sign would be…

Some of you may be interested in this article about the history and popularity of the seifuku. They have some nice pics and links in the article, and they also mention the whole love button thing. The comments are worth reading as well.
ABC Easy As 123
4/1/2008 – 10:18 am
When a few members of the ABC suggested the prank on the general community a few weeks back, I was a little unsure of how believable the fake-dorama would be. However, now I know why people are willing to accept storylines like Gundam 00’s. The only bad thing about the joke so far [...]
What Does Your Gravatar Say About You?
3/28/2008 – 3:21 pm
I always have fun looking at people’s Gravatars, especially ever since Automattic bought up Gravatar and scaled it so that it wouldn’t suck anymore. I’ve been noticing more of them recently, and I wondered if any readers would share with me:
What made you pick your Gravatar?
I’ve been using the mobile student Osaka one for [...]
Hello Kitty Is Silently Seething
3/20/2008 – 11:05 am
Japan has created an unusual government post to promote animation, and named a perfect figure Wednesday to the position: a popular cartoon robot cat named Doraemon.
So I guess there’s a new anime ambassador. I’m a little skeptical since Doraemon has no ears, but then again Hello Kitty has no mouth. Also, isn’t Doraemon [...]
Anime Blog Awards 2008 Nominations
3/20/2008 – 12:51 am
I saw a little discussion on the AB.net IRC and also got an email about The Anime Blog Awards. Nominations just started, so if you own an anime blog you can register on the site and nominate a few blogs (not your own). There are quite a few categories, and the top 7 [...]
