Joining The Nihon Review

[koi]
(Random picture to catch your attention and stop the post from getting lost on the front page)

As you might have heard on Twitter, I’ve been accepted as a staff member for the fairly reputable review site, The Nihon Review, alongside episodic blogger Shinmaru. This is a fairly big move for me since I’m certain that it’ll help me sharpen my writing abilities, and I’m looking forward to contributing to the site’s impressive archive of entries. You might also see me on the staff blog from time to time, though I’ll have to prioritize this site for editorials.

As for what this means for my posting schedule–well, if you’ve been following me for any amount of time, you’d know that I’ve been all over the place since university started. Frankly my life has been all over the place too. As a general rule, my target here is one post per week, and I aim for that regardless of how many other activities vie for my attention. The good news is that I don’t normally write reviews here so my articles over at the NHRV won’t detract from my editorial ideas.

Anyway, please check out the site if you haven’t already done so. I’ve been reading them for a while and I can guarantee that you’ll learn a thing or two if you keep an eye on them. If you’re already a fan, then I hope I can bring a bit of modern-day bishoujo fandom into a blogging style generally considered to be for the stuffy and elitist. Not that that’s a bad thing–moe fans could do to be a bit more discriminating!

Two Years of Dreaming

Yuuki Tatsuya is still the greatest.

Hello there, readers. I’d like to inform you that today, September 1st 2010, is the two-year anniversary of this anime blog.

Anniversaries are a great thing – aside from con posts, they’re the one time a year that we can talk about ourselves without worrying about the ever-imposing word count ceiling, especially since many people have already skipped to the comment section to leave a one line reply (and that’s okay; your thoughts are appreciated no matter what). Oddly enough, despite the fact that this is a notable year for me in a lot of ways, I’m not feeling particularly emotional. I guess that means you won’t have to listen to too much rambling! Anyhow, if you’re in the mood, kick back and grab a cup of coffee for this early September midday. (I-It’s not my fault if you’re in a different time zone!)

Update: a Blog, a Story, and an Eternal Sakura Tree

Eternal Sakura Tree

The eternal sakura tree(s) are pictured above, albeit indirectly. Now for the more important things.

  • I decided to start a blog. Bet you didn’t see that coming! There’s a bit more detail on the site itself, but basically, it’s a side-blog for me to go off topic and post random pictures. It’s nothing too ambitious; I’d put it in the same category as Tumblr and MAL. That said, it’ll probably be updated frequently, so check it out if you’re interested. I’m excepting to keep each entry under 200 words so as to not detract from my real anime blog here.
  • Sepia Tears is underway, despite the outdated website. I w0n’t post anything online until I actually have something substantial to post, but rest assured, all of my creative energy is being poured into this one (instead of, say, NaNoWriMo). If you want to do the male characters designs or background designs, contact me. I have a feeling it won’t be easy to find the latter, but hey, it’s worth asking.

Anyway, that’s all I have to say for now. It would be kinda awkward to launch a side blog and not notify anyone of it, even if it’s mostly irrelevant. My posting schedule has been a little funny lately thanks to a multitude of things to do – university applications don’t wander into the most suitable schools by themselves – but I’m still at it. I’ve got a juicy post scheduled for Tuesday that you might find interesting.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to sleep and completely re-arrange my mindset for the English essay I’m working on tomorrow…
