Notes and Shout-outs
Well, I didn’t quite make it to 1,000 again today, but I did come pretty damn close. I could see through out the day that my ANN references were dwindling, and I started getting a lot of my hits back from my fellow anime bloggers. Let me just mention a couple of them right now.
Matt is awesome. Not only is the guy very smart and funny, but he’s also extremely friendly. And his site is incredible. Being into programming and web design myself (hell, Computer Science is my major 
), I can see that he’s put a lot of time into building up that site and it shows. And he’s very popular! If he links to you in one of his posts, expect to see a lot of traffic coming your way. 
Mina is a sweetheart. Her blog is just as cute as the comments that she leaves on my blog. Every time I hear from her, I just have to smile. It’s good to have a little female touch in this community, and this Germen girl does a great job with it. So everyone check her out.
That being said, I think I’m really going to cut back on the posts about fansubs here. The truth is that because I can’t get the raws of these things, by the time I’ve posted a review and screen caps, 100 other bloggers have done it already weeks before. So I think I’m going to change the focus of my blog to really stand out. Expect to see more of my observations and (hopefully) comedic commentary. And while I know most of them are crap, I’ve been getting some nice compliments on some of the reviews I post. Particularly the ones for Full Metal Panic and Dokuro-chan have been giving me good feedback. So I’m going to focus more on dubbed US releases and even manga as well. I’m been putting together a manga review for I’’s that’s one of the best things I’ve ever written, so be on the look out for that over the weekend!
But I’ll still continue to blog Yakitate, Mahoraba, and of course Ichigo 100% as the fansubs come out. I’m a little on the fence on He is My Master. I’m not quite sure if I’m going to pick that up or not. It’s been three weeks now and still no fansubs. But I’ve got really good news…. a new fansub group called Anime Sake has appeared and they seem to be solely dedicated to fansubbing He is My Master. So this blogger believe that we will be seeing episode 1 come out very soon. (^_^)
You’re much too kind, lol. No problem, always glad to promote the other bloggers
I dunno how I remembered to program php since I hadn’t done it in… a couple of years. The code’s really messy and just kinda thrown together, lol

You make me blush as pink as my blog…
you made me thought about being one of only few girls in the anime blogger community…perhaps it’s really interesting to read what i think about the shows, I’m sure t’s a total fidderent few from what a man thinks…
Is hould start to do longer entries…like you *sigh*
But all the thoughts I have watching an episode are blown away afterwards…

Looking forward to hearing more insightful opinions from you!

Just wanted to drop by and say hi. I liked your post about Futakoi Alternative and Snatch btw, it was as if you read my mind except I kind of like the show.
