Mainichi Anime Yume
I finally finished True Tears today…and I’m sure many will agree that it’s definitely one of the most special series’ to come out recently. Despite it technically being a harem/dating anime, it has qualities that put it above average in this genre. Even though there’s virtually no action nor major accomplishments in it, I found True Tears a joy to watch because of its calming atmosphere, gentle pacing, and dramatic but not too angst-ridden scenes.
I’m finally back with a big update on the main AnimeYume site! There’s new anime sections, new mp3s, coverage of Anime LA, and also some random spring cleaning on various pages. My spring break is going by way too quickly so hopefully I’ll have time to do at least one more site update (and maybe a blog post or two) before I have to head back to school on Monday and return my sites to hiatus. Anyway, check out the main AnimeYume site here to see what’s new. I’ll be back soon (hopefully with the special project I’ve been working on since December!)
I’m not big on Easter at all but it gives me an excuse to post this adorable picture XD
Anyway, yes I’m on spring break now so I’m briefly taking my sites off of hiatus to do some much needed work on them. Unfortunately my spring break is only about a week long but I’m going to work on the sites, especially the main AnimeYume site, as much as I can during that time. So check back soon for updates =)
Mainichi Anime Yume, as well as my main site AnimeYume.com, are unfortunately going back on hiatus for the next couple of months…
My first post of 2008! I hope the new year is off to a good start for you all ^_^ 2007 has been a great year for anime both in Japan and the US so hopefully 2008 will be too. Unfortunately, although I’ll still watch as many new 2008 series’ as I can, I’ll have to put my sites back on hiatus soon once my classes start. But I should have time in the summer to do some site work and you can still check the About the Blogger page to see what anime I’m currently watching. But for most of the year there won’t be much activity here on the blog or the main site. Sorry about that, but I’m sure those of you who are or have been swamped with work and/or school know how it is =/ More details about my sites’ return to hiatus later, onto what’s new on Anime Yume…
Yes, I’m away but I’ll be back! Read on to find out what and why…
Wow, I can’t believe I’ve managed to keep up this blog for a year now! ^_^ Even though I’ve been working on my main AnimeYume.com site for over 5 years, I’ve come to realize how different working on a blog site is. Within the year, I’ve written 126 posts and I’ve received over 700 comments and over 23,000 hits. It still pales in comparison to the over 800,000 hits the main site has received, but considering I’ve only had time to post on the blog about once or twice a week, I guess that’s still pretty good results =) I’ve really enjoyed writing all the anime reviews, rants, etc., posts here on the blog…they’ve been a nice change from the objective and fairly structured writing I do on the main AnimeYume site. The reason I started MAY back in the fall of last year was because my life had become so busy and I was unable to keep up with big updates on the main site. But unfortunately, my life has become even busier than before, so much in fact, I may have to put both sites on a temporary hiatus. More about that on the next post…
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about how, within the past few years, anime and manga have been making their way into the world of US education, with the rise of many anime and manga-related college courses, whether it be in the field of Japanese/East Asian Cultures, Film Study, Art, Literature, or even Philosophy. Anime and manga are finally starting to get recognition as viable areas of study in many different fields. Now that I’m about to continue my education at a university, I was looking around for any anime/manga related courses I could find. I wasn’t having much luck until I unknowingly stumbled upon an anime/manga extension course that looks really promising…
