But it was her last post that I think is her best post. She did a review of Touch and brought up a complaint that I honestly haven’t heard much these days. That 70s and 80s animation seemed old and dated. I mean granted, it probably is old and dated, but really, I don’t hear that complaint much. Especially with the spate of people who have reviewed Legend of the Galactic Heroes in the past few months.

And I do understand what you mean about watching something and wanting to share it with everyone else. Honestly :) As to when I started visiting. I think I left a comment about it. Mostly because I believe in judicious commenting. I really hate leaving a post without saying something. (Probably cause I like to hear myself talk) Sometime around GTO... probably earlier. My life in general is a blur, so it's hard to remember what I've done from month to month. Anyways, here's to another two years. Oh and congradulations on the nominations too.

They're wonderful. Your blog is quite easily one of the best blogs I've seen, in terms of describing exactly what is appealing and so very awesome about anime. Keep up the blogging, and know that it definitely has not fallen on deaf ears>> You've totally sparked my interest in Gurren Lagann....I really must go watch it now :D (This is pretty amazing for somebody who's avoided mech series for.....4? years?) And ...to answer the other part of your question, hands down, One Piece wins my favourite anime spot....for reasons you're definitely familiar with :P Oh right, and though I'm new here, grats on the anniversary and the nominations.

I had an inkling there would be some fan-service, but provided it isn't too degrading/creepy/constant, I can usually take it. For example, Gurren Lagann had its fair share of 'flesh' but there was some real substance to it too. As for things like Kanon and Clannad, I'm not so repelled by the physical fan-service as I am by the overriding moe fetish/misogyny that seems to objectify female characters as this kind of pure white, ultra cute innocence designed purely for otaku wish fulfillment. Anyway, I know what you mean about Soul's voice, it's a lot deeper than his character design suggests, but all the other voices seemed excellent (especially the spiky-haired young punk, might be called 'Black'). @Enn: Mindgame's been on my list for years now. I must see it in 2008! That, Paprika and B/5cm are three anime movies I'm way overdue on viewing (too embarrassed to add I still haven't seen Howl's Moving Castle, either). @Liptonic: Your English looks fine to me, and it's awesome that you can write in a different language at all. I wish I was bilingual! Anyway, nice to know I've found another long-time reader :) @Everyone: Thanks again for your comments, they inspire me to keep going. Hope y'all had a great Easter and didn't eat too many chocolate eggs! @arkon: Fair enough.

I'd like to post comments more often, but I have to admit that my english is not really good :/ Anyway, I really like your blog (one of my favorites), always interesting ! You've got to keep going ^_^ ! And thank you for your last post on Legend of the Galactic Heroes, I like it very much too, but I've got to admit that I almost always share your opinion about anime (keep on the good taste then :p) At least, now you know that there is a girl in Europe who read your blog :D Happy birthday ! \o/
