And so quietly our 2 years anniversary is today even though if our domain hadn’t died it would have been 4 years for me and like 5 for JP. Honestly I don’t really expect much activity in this blog in the coming year. I don’t want to completely say “I quit” and close the blog but I guess the passion just isn’t there. My focus has and will be on otome gaming as well as MMO gaming on my other blog. JP’s been occupied with Fallout New Vegas and he’s gone through my entire list of stuff I “forced” him to watch. Even the shows I do watch I mostly blurb 1 or 2 things on twitter about it and that’s as much as I say about anime anymore. I mean what am I going to blog about every week?
- That Kirino is a bitch who needs to die in a fire?
- That Panty & Stocking is like the most awesome show ever?
- That there’s a horrible porn scene in Yosuga every week?
- That someone died in Hakuoki?
- Or that Kishimoto brought back stock character #44 in Naruto and now they gotta fight again?
Anyway you get the picture. Anime blogging was great back in 2006 when it was new, raws were still hard to obtain and the blogosphere was booming with fresh new blogs. Now I hardly know any new bloggers anymore. I don’t really read anime blogs anymore since my interest in new shows is pretty low. Because of google reader and twitter most of the conversations and discussions have been moved over there. I guess the anime blogging medium in my eyes is kinda dead – but maybe it’s still alive in someone else’s. We’ll keep this blog around in case one of us gets inspired to write anything but it’s definitely the end of an era in my eyes.
JP: Stupid 3 year computer game backlog! I actually do have hundreds of gigs of anime sitting here queued up to write about, I just can’t force myself to stop playing computer games and actually watch them—and this is stuff that I genuinely do want to watch! So hopefully I won’t end up like Momotato and only a year-end awards post (which I will make as usual!)
Congrats on the anniversary. Of course I like the idea of keeping this blog open despite inactivity. I have it in my reader and every time a new post pops up I consider it a treat for the day.
Thanks
Yea like I said we’ll leave it around since you never know when inspiration may strike!
Or when the rage will boil
I do so miss the fangirl rage tag.
you still watching kirino-chwan?
Watching up to 9 so far I have come to one conclusion:
She is definately a psychiatric lost cause otaku.
JP> Civ 5… Civ 5 beckons and seduces you like the Dark Side of the Force.
naza> usually my rage just goes as far as me raging to JP and then going to do something else lol
Digi> I only watch it because I like EVERYONE BUT Kirino
Ahh I wished someone would make Saint Young Men into an anime just soo i can see what Hinano would say about it.
Hey, I like Saint Young Men!
Congrats on the two years, keep the good times rolling, and always remember that we’re around to support you… or something
lol thanks, don’t know how much rolling we can do but we’ll see I guess!
I want Stardust Witch Meruru. With her EX-Starlight Breaker.
Congrats on two years.
Even if you’re slowing down with the posts, I still giggle when I read them.
You were actually the one who got me into dramas, too. (Speaking of which, Mary stayed out all night is pretty good. Have you seen it?)
no I never heard of it actually.
honestly I havent watched a single drama this season.
I’m so into otome games now that’s like all I do these days.
if you still like my “writing” then I recommend just checking out my game blog because I update it pretty frequently now.
actually the exact same thing happening to the two of you is what happened to momotato.
Happy Anniversary~! <3
Your blog posts always brings out the lulz. Please keep posting even if it is done sporadically.
You have twitter?! Totally following you. I haven't been active on mine for a while, but I'll try to get back into it.
Keep on trucking, Onee-chan. Always looking forward to rage w
Wish the anime studios would stop obsessively churning out these moeblob and loli series and maske more of an effort on original works so I’d get more sarcasm and dry wit posts from the golden pair. Happy 2nd year together and at least you got your 1st Japan adventure underneath your belt.
Still on the light side,Read these mangas if you’re not already, golden pair! I nearly smashed my head against a wall for some of the characters logic in these romance mangas.
Good Ending

Congrats to you two! I know you guys don’t update much and what not, but I’ve always enjoyed reading what you’ve posted.
Sorry for being late, but all the same, congratulations. The fact that you two keep up blogging for so long is still amazing, you know.
