I don’t know where to start.
This blog has been going for a while now. Since the Spring of 2006, in fact. Ostensibly an anime blog, it has been known to branch out in to Japanese live-action film and manga from time to time. For those interested, I am based in Cambridge (UK.)
I am proud to have found a handful of loyal readers, many of whom I enjoy in trading discussions with in post comments (and Twitter, too.) Please don’t feel reluctant to get involved, as there is nothing that enthuses me more as an anime blogger than to interact with others (that means you, dear reader) on the subjects at hand.
I can be e-mailed at bateszii@gmail.com, but if you just want to introduce yourself or to ask a few questions, you could always leave a comment on this page, too, and, I’ll endeavour to respond in haste.
Take care, and thanks for reading.
I can’t say I know where to start either. My name is Celeste, and I live in Vancouver, Canada.
I’ve been reading the blog for some years now, and commenting for less. When Bateszi posted his “help wanted” in 2010, as I entered a self-induced lull in my school life, I decided to give this anime blogging thing a try.
Have fun!
Why hello, I’m dengar. I’m the third writer on this site which puts me in the odd company of anime stalwarts like Shinji (the third child) and sci-fi hero’s like Ender (the third of Ender’s Game fame). I am currently living in sunny Los Angeles and am proud to be the American representative on the writing team.
I just wanted to compliment you
on your site, I absolutely love it.
It’s rare ( believe it or not) to find genuine
anime fans that can write well, and speak from
an authentic perspective, and clearly appreciate
the deeper meaning behind anime.
For those reasons I wanted to contact you, because
I believe you will appreciate my project.
I’m the webmaster of AnimeQuotes(.)net
Which is an online database filled with
anime and manga quotations, and I think both you and your readers
will genuinely enjoy it.
I’m not looking to improve my pagerank or anything of the sort,
Just to let people know it exists.
I’ll be happy to be included in your links section, or a post
about memorable anime quotes etc.
Avi Tejer.
I fell in love with this site tonight, brother.
Most anime blogs these days are the “episode summary/recap” sort of blogs. This one though, has articles. Articles I actually want to read. Keep up the amazing work you guys.
Thanks
It’s always encouraging and inspiring to read that people enjoy what we’re writing.
When I chanced this blog tonight, I was immediately drawn by the mature and unique perspective which you guys write from. Cant wait to read more
Thank you, Shinra. On behalf of us all, I hope you stick around!
I just stumbled upon your site today and am pretty impressed. It was my research for an article on Junji Ito’s Uzumaki that led me here. I scrolled through the horror section and saw some things that caught my eye (In particular, I do think that Full metal alchemist gets looked over as horror. The transfiguration of that little girl was horrifying to say the least).
Anyways, It’s nice to see you guys have been at it so long. Good for you. While our own site at thedarkopera.weebly.com is in it’s infancy, I hope that we can muster the same kind of steam to keep at it. Congratulations. I look forwards to exploring what you have here. As well, I invite you to visit the dark Horror that can be found in the corner of the internet we call home.
