Anime Blog Awards

Posted on by

I’ll let the people running it explain it in their own words.

“Given the exponential growth of the anime blogosphere, the number of quality blogs with insightful opinions and perspectives are ever increasing. Yet a majority of the blogs out there remain isolated, lacking a sense of community and meaningful interaction. The Anime Blog Awards was created in order to bridge that gap by recognising worthy bloggers and their achievements in various fields.”

It’s an interesting idea, and though I’m not sure if I will participate in it, do not by any means let that keep you from voting. This sort of audience participation is what I think this community thrives on, provided it doesn’t become too political.

So if you are a blogger who blogs about blogs anime, then let it be known which blogs you think represent us the best.

It starts April 1st, so get nominating.

Back to the Basics

I learned a little about myself recently: The title of this blog is very appropriate.

I haven’t really talked much about Genshiken in a while, and it’s expected. The second series is over, the manga is long over. I’ve talked about it numerous times in this blog.

But then recently one morning, I was suddenly struck by the lighting called Ogiue.

The sheer presence of her character moves me to evaluate myself and try to improve, in a number of ways. Sometimes it doesn’t work out, but hey, this is fiction, and Ogiue, as realistic and complex she may be, is not real (as much as I might sometimes prefer otherwise). The events of her life are incorporated into the greater goal of a good story.

So Ogiue Maniax. I talk about Ogiue.

Because I CAN”T HELP IT.
