I didn’t think I could do it, but today I managed to post a whooping 5 new anime sections on the main AnimeYume.com site…
Briefly off hiatus for spring break

Hi, it’s been a while ^^ Well, the winter school term is finally behind me so today I started work on some overdue updates…
Back on hiatus for the winter
January 4, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Well, my three week winter break has come to an end and tomorrow I will once again resume the life of a full-time university student. I’m really glad that I managed to write a lot of good blog posts these past few weeks, despite my vacation being so short. However, once again I know that my schoolwork will keep me too busy to do anything worthwhile on my web sites, so I’m going to put both the blog and main site on hiatus for the next 11 weeks. But even though I won’t be doing any site work, I will still update my Twitter and MAL accounts, so you can check up on me through those if you want ^_^
Unfortunately my spring break at the end of March is only a week long so I doubt I’ll be able to do more than one or two good posts then, or maybe none at all if I get busy with other things. Well, we’ll see how it goes =) Thanks again for all your continued support ^^ Hope to be back in a few months.
PS: To kick off the new year, my friend SailorCardKnight made four awesome new banners for the main AnimeYume.com site. You can find three on the main entrance page and one on the homepage. I had the old ones up for years so I figured it’s finally time for a change XD
Haruhi and Shana 2009 calendar scans

Every year for the past four years I’ve posted scans of newly released anime calendars on my site around this time. So this year I have scans for the Haruhi and Shana 2009 calendars…
Back for the holidays (and with a pretty big update too!)

Hey ^^ It’s been quite a while but I’m finally on vacation now and I’m ready to do some long overdue blog posts! X) Unfortunately my vacation is only 3 weeks long but since I don’t have too much planned, I’ll probably spend a good amount of time catching up on blog posts and site updates. Today I did a pretty big update on the main AnimeYume.com site, adding a bunch of new media files and pictures, so you can check that out. In addition to doing at least a couple more updates on the main site (and possibly adding new anime sections), here on the blog I’m planning to write reviews of a few fall 2008 anime series I’ve been watching, post scans of some 2009 anime calendars, and also write a couple of game reviews. Hopefully I’ll be able to cram all that into 3 weeks, so check back within the next few days! =D
Back to uni (and back on hiatus for the fall)

Well, my three months of summer vacation have finally come to an end; tomorrow I’ll be putting MAY back on hiatus for a while, heading back to university, and starting the fall quarter of my (hopefully) last year of schooling…
The Anime Preference Survey 2008 results
September 17, 2008 by 1 Comment
The results of the Anime Preference Survey (2008 version) are now posted! I opened this survey a little over 3 weeks ago (I had one in ’06 and ’07 too) and it was basically a quick survey recording general preferences, interests, and tastes among anime fans such as how they watch anime, what anime products they buy, favorite series, etc,. The survey received about 160 participants…not as many as I would have liked, but still enough to make some sort of statistical inferences about the interests of anime fans nowadays ^^
Click here to see the survey results. I’ve also commented on the results and compared some of them to last year’s survey.
Anime import calendar scans
September 9, 2008 by 1 Comment
I’ve been collecting original Japanese anime calendars for a few years now, either buying them myself or downloading the scans online. I’m just a big sucker for large, original, and gorgeous images of official anime artwork! XD As of today, I have over 150 calendar scans on my computer from 11 different anime (and I always add a few more each year). Since I started collecting the import anime calendars, I created a page on the main Anime Yume site to post them. As the years went by however, that page fell into a bit of a disarray but I finally took the time today to organize the calendar scans and to also share them here on the blog…
The Anime Preference Survey 2008 version
August 22, 2008 by 8 Comments
I conducted the 2007 Anime Preference survey a little over a year ago with very interesting results. If you would like to take the new 2008 version, click here. It’s basically a quick survey recording some general preferences, interests, and tastes among anime fans. Like the 2007 version, it’s 20 quick questions that should only take a few minutes (you’re also not required to answer all of them). The statistics of these surveys usually prove very interesting so if you could take a few minutes for the survey, I’d really appreciate it! ^^
Also, if you want to see the results from the 2007 version, click here. Depending on how quickly I get responses to the 2008 survey, I should have the results posted sometime within the next 2 to 3 weeks so check back! =)
First major summer site update
July 27, 2008 by Leave a Comment
I spent this entire past weekend working on my first major summer update on the main AnimeYume.com site. And it turned out to be one of the biggest updates I’ve done in quite a while ^_^ First of all I added two new anime sections for Lucky Star and Code Geass. I also added YouTube videos to almost all the 28 anime sections. And of course, there’s a handful of new mp3s too. So check out the main site for a complete rundown of all the new stuff. I’ll be back here on the blog with more posts soon, and I should also have at least a couple more updates on the main site before summer break ends =)
