Notes: Summer Love’n

It’s summer time. As many of my regular readers might have notice, I haven’t been doing too many updates lately. Being back home, spending time with my loved one, and trying to find myself employment for this summer has made me put this website much lower on my priority list then it was during the school year. However, blogging is still a very fun and relaxing hobby for me, so I still plan to keep this site active and alive or the upcoming month. However, there’s going to be many modifications to it.

First of all, blogging about every fansubbed episode is too overdone in the community. Because of this, I have found that they are pointless to review. So from this point on, I’m dropping all the series I have been working on. Yes, even my beloved Ichigo. Instead, expect more insightful views on the latest current storylines whenever I feel it necessary to comment on. Think about it like those first episode impressions I did for many series. They generally get a lot of positive feedback.

Also, licensed anime and manga reviews have really set me apart from other bloggers, and have also gotten me positive feedback from the readers. I’m going to continue to keep in contact with companies by providing them sample material of what I write along with the comments you leave. So all of you out there who leave the kind comments on my posts, thank you so much! They mean a lot to me and will probably help me out in my goal being a part of the industry I admire so much.

But for the summer, I would advise checking out the site once a week for updates. I promise I’ll at least have something new every few days. With a less hectic schedule, I can focus more on the quality of my posts then the frequency of them.

In other news, idleness truly is the Devil’s Advocate. I have found myself making daily trips to the bookstore and not coming out empty handed. I have started a couple new series, and debating starting a couple more. I’ve also noticed that Best Buy’s got some anime DVD now that are really, really cheap, so I might finish collecting a lot of series that I’ve had to stop since I’ve been a poor college kid. I’m also seriously considering collecting Girls Bravo on DVD since it looks like they’ve got the 2nd season available too. Hopefully their will be some very low prices for them.
