From Otou-san:
So I reached out to some animu bloggers in America — people you probably know — to get their takes on this issue that just doesn’t seem to want to go away.
The fansub topic is one that comes up in cycles, and I’ve already said my piece before. I think we are way [...]
From Crusader:
Like war for the shoujo heroine there is no substitute for victory in her love life and in her struggles all is fair, though not all is right. To form a coherent doctrine she has to break things down into strategy (over all vision of how to achieve her goals), operational art (amassing the [...]
From psgels:
And the bad series just get a category with no stars at all. I mean, both Lucky Star and Shining Tears were unwatchable, and I can’t see why you’d want to differentiate between the two, if I’m not going to recommend it anyway. I’d much rather have a detailed distinction between the good series. [...]
From Omni:
I am currently seeking an editorialist for Random Curiosity. Ideally, such a person would be able to present opinion on the news topic of the day (such as the Kanokon and Geass items mentioned above) or on whatever other current topics they think are relevant to the anime community/industry/etc. This does not require any [...]
From OS:
And the people co-blogging with me? They’re MY senpais. Let me introduce my colorful cast (In the order of which I received their e-mails):
Ten - Yummy Sushi Pajamas: Duh!
Matte - Chotto Matte!
Newt - Pretty Scythe
Anna - Tokyojupiter
There are no salary caps in anime blogging. This is quite a development, especially if you have [...]
From Ryan:
Many of the series which came to mind are setup in Tokyo, but not all of them “play in the environment.” How noticeable is the city? Does it feel good? Would I be sad if it wasn’t Tokyo? These are things I ask in order to gauge the level of activity, not that I [...]
From Hige:
One restriction I really want to impose is a five hundred word limit for every post I make. Not only because it will avoid the tl;dr problem that seemingly blights the internet, but also to help improve conciseness and stop me waffling in unreadable incoherent ways.
I’ve been using the Blog Metrics plugin for a [...]
From RunningKid:
I hope there will not be any more geass users since I think it’s becoming too common… won’t be long before they start selling them in shops.
Lelouch and C.C. killed the last guy who tried to copy their style, so perhaps there is still hope. Can’t believe the Geass has gone mainstream; now [...]
From Owen:
Drama aside, I think there’s something to be said about the point of The ABA, and how a lot of clueless, misinformed, egoistic, or just plain stubborn people have missed it by a mile. My blog turns a year old tomorrow, and it’s been a great process of learning and sharing in the 122-odd [...]
From Owen:
I can’t speak for my absent fellow bloggers, but my recent inactivity? It’s Laziness, spelt with a capital “L”, and would be the only rationale I can think of for not writing as much as I should have recently, unscheduled blog outage aside. While it’s always nice to be able to say that “real [...]
From Shirukii:
Ai-chan didn’t ask him to go out with her on the spot, she simply asked him to look at her, not as a childhood friend, not as a sister figure, but as a girl, one that he may come to like one day. Yet Shin shuts her down, tells her that he could never [...]
From Ogiue Maniax:
I’ve also seen some people accusing Tama-chan of being too powerful, similar to say, Ryouma from Prince of Tennis. I’ve never really had a problem with those kinds of main characters, as not every main character has to be an underdog.
I don’t have a problem with Tamaki’s power, as Bamboo Blade is rarely [...]
From Hinano:
I feel like the manga is stuck in one big genjutsu pancake. I mean the last 6 chapters were just genjutsu on top of genjutsu. It was cool… the first 3 times. Now it’s like can we see some REAL fighting? Enough with this genjutsu. It’s like is that all Itachi can do?
Seriously! [...]
