Anime Yume’s 6th year anniversary!

June 30, 2008 by 1 Comment


Yup, today my site (animeyume.com) turns 6 years old. I can’t believe it’s been so long! 0_0 Six years ago on June, 30th 2002 I bought a domain name from geocities and started my own anime web site for the first time. Though the blog here is only about a year and a half old, the main AnimeYume.com site has been going fairly strong all these years and I intend to keep it going ^_^ Unfortunately during the past couple of years I’ve mostly only had time to do posts here on the blog rather than major work on the main site. But the main site already has over 4GB worth of anime images, media, and info, and I’m hoping to add more whenever I have the time =)

I was hoping to do a big “6th year anniversary” update today on the main site but I only had time to do a small update. I’m leaving for Anime Expo in a couple of days so I’ve been really busy preparing for that. But anyway, you can check the main site here for the small anniversary update and I’m looking forward to more wonderful years on AnimeYume.com! ^_^ Thanks again to all my loyal visitors!

Back from uni and ready for some site work!

June 13, 2008 by 2 Comments


Yes, it’s been a while. I can’t believe my last post was in April! 0_o As much as I wanted to keep blogging during my first year at university, schoolwork and club activities kept eating up my time. Since last September I’ve only managed to do a handful of posts and site updates during my winter and spring vacations. But now finals are over and I’ve got a nice 3-month long summer vacation ahead of me, which means plenty of time for site work! ^_^ I’ve got quite a few plans for both the blog and the main site this summer…

What is Anime? – the Visual Definition

April 6, 2008 by 8 Comments


What is Anime? – the Visual Definiton is a major anime video project that I began working on in December ’07 and finally posted online this month. To give an idea of what the project is, it basically consists of 1-hour and 40-minutes of various anime opening clips from 50 different anime series’. But instead of having the opening clips play one after another, in between each clip a page of information will come up showing the anime’s title, genre, and a brief synopsis of the story and plot. My main purpose in creating this project is to promote anime to people who do not understand anime’s appeal; in other words, I’m hoping that other anime fans like myself will use it to help spread the awareness of anime’s appeal to others.

Big update on AnimeYume.com (and savoring the final days of spring break)

March 27, 2008 by 1 Comment


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!)

Major image update! (plus more site news)

Ichigo and Rukia in winter!
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…

AnimeYume.com’s 2nd Image Contest! (winners receive free scans from AnimePaper.net)

September 9, 2007 by Leave a Comment


I’ve only held one other image contest besides this one, which was about a year ago back in summer 2006. But now that I finally have some much-needed vacation time, I decided to have a second one. The main reason why I’m having AnimeYume’s 2nd image contest (same reason for why I held the first one actually) is because I’m tired of looking at the same old splash and homepage banners, and since I lack the computer programs (like Photoshop) to make nice site banners myself, why not let my visitors make these images for me and reward the ones that do the best job? =) I’m making this contest better than the first one by having more lenient rules and offering better prizes.

Anyway, you can find out all the rules and details about the contest here. My appreciation goes out to everyone who participates ^^ I look forward to seeing your entries!

New anime sections!

September 2, 2007 by 4 Comments


Well, I’m back with two new anime sections on the main AnimeYume.com site. I’ve literally spent all of the past couple of days working on them but I think they came out pretty good ^^ So check out the new Death Note and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya sections! (BTW, about the Haruhi section, I made an html version of the timeline I posted a while ago, and also updated it with some images). I’m really not sure if I’ll have time for more anime sections anytime soon but maybe.

Anyway, these past few posts here on the blog haven’t been very “blog-ish” (just stuff about the main site and my own personal life) so I really want to get back on track with good blog posts, and also catch up with my Inuyasha chapter reviews and other stuff. But I also need to catch up on my Japanese studies and my backlog of anime to watch…::sigh:: even on vacation there’s not enough time to do all the stuff you gotta do =P But regardless I’ll definitely be back here on the blog soon!
