1000 comments

So we broke the statistical landmark of 1000 comments yesterday.

Hinano of Ex-Fansubber ひとり言 got the 1000th comment on the ‘Motteke! Seifuku. Now with 50% less fail.’ post.

A big thanks to all the readers out there. Everyone from the regular commenters to the one time visitors to the numerous lurkers, thank you! You provide the motivation that keeps this fragment of the anime blogging community afloat.

    Congratulations. No special blogging event at the request of the 1000th commenter?

    @ Owen S: I guess I could, if Hinano checks here and feels like making a request, provided it’s a topic I can work with.

    @ AS: Haha, one off. Maybe next time.

    @ Servbot: Now if I could only bring more out of hiding and into commenting o.o

    @ Nightingale: I wouldn’t classify you as a lurker, you were pretty active back in the days of Kanon.

    @ Adun: Thanks!

    Congrats Shirukii, and Soda too!…..since I’m sure he’s kickin’ around somewhere :)

    I suppose I would be considered a lurker hehe….but hey I got nothin’ but time to kill now that school is done/until I hear back from the grad schools I applied to……

    Keep up the good work! Watching anime is so much more fun when you can swap crackpot theories and have intelligent conversations with other fans! Your blog is my fave to visit :)

    @ Nightingale: Where have you been my friend? Watching any animes from this season???? Claymore=A+

    Claymore does = A+ so far O_O

    I chat too much and it sometimes gets out of hand when I visit multiple pages with my hobbies so I need to tone things down.

    I really love the comments, the choices made here, and the overall atmosphere so I decided to throw out some input on what I can.

    @ Kanon_fan82: Thanks XD Soda is currently on vacation in HK, he’ll be gone for about 2 months, he does more behind the scenes stuff on this blog, css and whatnot.

    I wouldn’t really consider you a lurker, your probably among the most active commenters on this blog. Nice to know someone is enjoying my writing =D especially since I’m an engineering student and the general conception is that we can’t write to save our lives.

    I remember Nightingale saying that he has very high standards when it comes to anime, so it takes epic series like Kanon to bring him out of hiding haha.

    @ Servbot: Awesome, that’s what I strive for, back when the blog started I used to throw out pure episode summaries. But then I started to lengthen my “Thoughts” to at least match the summary length. And from there were born the crackpot theories that show up every week XD

    Thanks for the feedback guys! Never hesitate to comment on the content of the blog or give suggestions on how I can better it.

    PS: Kanon_fan82, I didn’t forget telling you that I would try and change the background from what it is now. It was just hard finding something that fit the whole SHUFFLE! theme we were going for and at the same time not blinding. Hope it’s not bugging you too much now XD I’m planning on changing the layout when the blog hits its one year anniversary, or shortly thereafter.

    *pops out of thin air*

    @ Kanon_fan/Shirukii: Denno Coil, anyone giving it a try? =D

    *vanishes to thin air*

    Nice Utawarterumono color image. I’m a big fan of that series.

    @ Shirukii:

    Hahahaha nice to know you didn’t forget :)….I feel special =D

    It’s still not my favourite layout in the world…….Though, in your defence I think that has something to do with the fact that most of my anime watching takes place between the hours of 11pm-2am and in complete darkness…..stupid insomnia :P………

    I go from the nice vibrant colours of the show itself to here….. where it’s almost all white and beige-type colours lol….

    Not to worry, the blog and comment discussions make up for it :)….

    But if/when you change the design, I will be for sure amongst the first to express my gratitude at seeing darker contrasts :)

    I WIN!!!11 :D

    Can I request a post on Naruto and how retarded most of its fans are? :D :D

  15. on 04 Jun 2007 at 11:51 pmServbot

    Hmm, is there a limit to the number of posts? I guess blogs are not similar to forums?

    Oh yeah! Have you guys seen the series Inukami! before?

    I am watching episode 6 and I must say it is hilarious.
    If there is one episode to watch from Inukami! I would recommend episode 6 with the characters literally being attached to each other by a spell.

    @ Nightingale: Yea I’m watching it, it looks promising, though the lack of consistent subs is really hurting.

    @ Avisch: I liked it a lot too, though the ending was…weird.

    @ Kanon_fan82: We’re definitely going to go for a darker color scheme next time, maybe something like navy blue.

    @ Hinano: I can’t tell if that request is a joke or not T_T But in any case, I’ve never written anything on Naruto before, so I’ll try my hand at it. Hopefully it doesn’t turn out to be complete garbage XD

    @ Servbot: There’s no post limit, Soda and I can post as much or as little as we want. The whole idea of giving the 1000th commenter the power to request a post came from impz over at THAT Anime Blog, who did something similar.

    I haven’t watched Inukami, but I’ve heard generally good things about it, I’ll give it a shot when I make it through the rest of my backlog XD
