If raw watching is the new religion, then call me an atheist.

Dear critics: My reasoning is better than your reasoning, and here’s why.

I’m sure you’ve heard about how my very first post was inspired by lolikitsune, so we won’t talk ill of the dead. What you probably don’t know about my blog was what or who exactly inspired it. Since the original blog has since been deleted, I’ll use a placeholder in lieu of the real thing, [...]

I picked up Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun. Yes, that Ninomiya-kun with the succubus, not the tragic yet hilarious metafiction in Minami-ke. Now, while I’m certainly not short of shows to blog about or watch this season since I’m keeping up with a grand total of 16, I’m tired of anime blogging. Not in the commonly understood “woe [...]

Here are some spoilers: Your blog dies in Wordpress 2.3. Or at the very least goes into sudden cardiac arrest, requiring a mouth-to-mouth and a frantic trip to the ER for that quadruple-bypass you’ve been putting off. You might even need to shut down for a couple of days while it lies comatose, like I [...]

Just a bit of link blogging before I return to the normal schedule (wait, what schedule?). I’d like to think that four whole days away from the PC at camp did my hands good, but a prolonged bout of instant messaging proved otherwise. I can live with the pain, though, seeing how it serves as [...]

When I went and asked if anime was deep, or was it just entertainment, dragging my fellow bloggers into the fray, I knew full what I was getting into. The statement, “Is anime deep, or is it just entertainment?” is flawed in that it makes the unstated assumption that it has to be either/or, which [...]

About this double-feature with Impz over at THAT Anime Blog: For those of you not in the know, there’s all manner of bloggers, about 20 give or take, that can be found over at #animeblogger @ irc.irchighway.net on a fairly regular basis. Now the average age in the channel is anywhere from late teens to [...]

So I’ve noticed that the anime blogosphere is as incestuous as a chapter in COMIC LO. Everyone links to the same old same old, and I’m guessing you guys haven’t updated your blogrolls in ages, or can’t be arsed to get out there and look for new things to read. Which is fine and dandy [...]

Seeing how Impz’s post made him sound like he had cancer (to ease the pain of not being able to finish the Spring season he wanted to spend his last days writing editorials), I wanted to make a post painting him as a tragic victim, torn between his desire to live and his desire [...]

Ninja edit for bj0rn, who doesn’t want me mentioning where I got this news from someone who doesn’t want tobe mentioned either,since he won’t stop whining in the comments, jeez. Since I’m not under the rule of 1984- I mean, Singapore, I’m mirroring the list of anime that’s licensed, which they apparently don’t want you [...]

Props to Impz and his band of merry men for sparking off the discussion. Demian in his response, however, overlooked what I believe is a key angle of how anime wouldn’t make it to mainstream, and that’s what I’m going to address in this post. Will also be commenting closely on drmchsr0’s, uh, “character-driven” response [...]
