I’ve been quoted… twice!
I’ve recently had two of my reviews from this site quoted by other people. The first is taken from a community anime review site, anime.mikomi.org. One of the members, Jan-Chan, reprinted my review of Kamichu. I do find it strange that she changed the order to a couple of my paragraphs, but I’m still very, very flattered by what she had to say-
I searched about for some review material, and I stumbled across a very thoughtful and insightful review at a certain web site. And after wasting more than a few minutes trying to create a ‘good’ review, I decided to share with you Scott’s admirable and detailed review, mostly because I think he can give this series more credit than I might be able to and I think that he shares more than I could.
(Thank you, Scott)
You’re so very welcomed! (^_^)
The second comes from a much bigger source: ADV Films. I had sent then a sample of my review for Full Metal Panic? FUMOFFU in hope that they would send me more products to review. They forward me to their anime club liaison, Kristen, who was just as friendly as she normally is. I talked to her a little about how we worked together in the past when I was president of my college’s anime club. Then I didn’t hear from her after that.
I received the monthly club mailings that ADV sends to the club, and I was surprised to see at she quoted my review on the back page of the newsletter. She printed key comments I made about the dubbing and how much I thought the art had improved from the first series. So also, as Jenn pointed out afterwards, boldfaced a bit of improper English on my part at the end. Uguu~, (>_<)! But I’m a little disappointed that instead of mentioning my website with the quote, she lists the club that I’m (no longer) a part of.
If your club is on their mailing list, be sure to be on the look out for it in the August edition. But for the rest of you, you can access the newsletter via this buggy PDF file. Again, it’s on the last page.
