10 years of AnimeYume

This past June 30th marked the 10-year anniversary of my domain name, AnimeYume.com. I would have mentioned it sooner, but as usual around that time of year, I was busy with Anime Expo and writing my reviews of completed seasonal anime. I decided that today would be a good day to post about it since, while Mainichi Anime Yume is only 6 years old, this is the blog’s 600th post…

Mainichi Anime Yume is now 5 years old

I published my first post on Mainichi Anime Yume on October 1st, 2006 (a long and rather rant-filled review of a Pokemon spin-off game of all things), and officially made the blog public on October 7th, 2006. It’s certainly been a worthwhile experience running an anime blog for so long. I’d say this past year of blogging has been one of the best…

AnimeYume’s 9-year anniversary (also, I’m off to Anime Expo)

June 30th, 2011, marks the 9-year anniversary of my domain name, AnimeYume.com, on which Mainichi Anime Yume is hosted. Each year it becomes more surprising than the last that I’ve been able to keep up a web site for so long…

Anime demotivators

I’ve been working more hours than usual this week, so regrettably I don’t have the time or energy for an extensive post today – instead, here’s a quick but fun post that I hope will provide your day with a chuckle or two. A collection of my favorite anime demotivators…

Mainichi Anime Yume’s 4th year anniversary

Mainichi Anime Yume recently turned four years old (on October 1st actually, though I only just remembered =P) And I’m happy to say that I think this year has been one of the blog’s best…

Sorry for the downtime…


This was me since last night

If you tried to visit my blog during the last 16 hours, you probably noticed that the pages wouldn’t load. For the first time ever, MAY went down for a significant amount of time, mostly due to my own incompetence…

Off to AX 2010! (and come to the bloggers meet-up!)

Anime Expo 2010 begins today, but I won’t be heading out there until tomorrow morning to attend Day 2 and 3. I can’t afford all four days this year, but I’m glad I’m able to go to two. I’m very excited about AX ’10 because I haven’t been to any anime conventions since AX ’08.

Eight years of owning an anime web site (or Anime Yume’s 8th anniversary)

Today, AnimeYume.com turns eight years old. Although the blog here is only about three and a half years old, I’ve been actively running an anime web site since mid-2002. Having my own space on the web to express my love for anime for nearly my entire history as a fan, has certainly been an impacting part of my life…

Mainichi Anime Yume’s new layout! (and some other news)

With the feedback I’ve received from the Aniblog Tourney, I decided that MAY is indeed due for a new layout…

MAY in Round 4 of the Aniblog Tourney

I was pleasantly surprised that Mainichi Anime Yume managed to pull off a victory in Round 3 of the Aniblog Tourney by only four votes. I want to thank all those who voted for me! My match in Round 4 is underway, so I hope you’ll continue to support me. Once again, if you’re unsure about voting for MAY or not, I’ll direct you to my original tourney post, “Mainchi Anime Yume in the Aniblog Tourney,” which explains more about the kind of blog MAY is.

If you’ve made your decision, go ahead and visit the polls here. Even if I win this Round, I don’t expect to stand a chance against some of the massively popular blogs in the tourney. But I would like to see how far I can get =)

Happy voting~!
