Let’s get things straight first…this isn’t for you, it’s for me. Yep, that’s right. I need a visual list, a compilation of my thoughts and ideas in a readable format…you just happen to get the privilege of viewing it. Viewing what, exactly? A quick, rough estimate of what I’m potentially looking at blogging in April. Note, I really only plan on doing 3-4 shows, but there will be many more listed here. Obviously, I’ll have to watch each show in order to make a final decision and narrow things down, but for now, here’s the list: READ ON

ANIMEOTO is recruiting writers! February 29, 2008

While I am fully prepared to run/write everything here myself, I would love to have a few other anime geeks running around the site posting their hearts out as well. Recruitment is open to begin blogging at the beginning of April, 2008. The goal of this site is to blog new Spring 2008 animes, but depending on the show and how long it will continue to be airing, other shows could be accepted.

Also, posts currently do not have a required format, although I do have a rough idea of what I’d like to see. Posts can be any combination of, or just one of the things below:

  • A weekly episode summary. Basically, the facts of what happened this week, and how it pertains to the previous week’s episode.
  • A weekly opinion post. Instead of summarizing an episode, you could just post your thoughts on what happened, what you think will happen…questions, comments, WTF moments, etc etc.
  • Episode-by-Episode screencap posts. Obviously, this kind of post would contain numerous screencaps…enough that a reader could get a general idea of what happened in the episode just by looking at all the pretty pictures.

There are bound to be other types of legitimate weekly posts, and I’m always open for new suggestions. For now, those are the three most viable types of posts that I can think of. Also, there is no limit on the quantity of animes you can blog at this time. You could do 1, or 100. If you are interested in becoming a writer here and being included in who blogs what for April, feel free to contact me at foundinsilence@gmail(removethistext).com through my email, or add that address to your MSN if you’d rather reach me that way.

Cow anus and girls in tight leather. No, it’s not a West Virginian holiday, it’s Moyashimon. February 7, 2008

I’ve been downloading Moyashimon since it came out, mostly due to my compulsive urge to download everything the easy way (one ep at a time with plenty of torrent seeds). I’d watched the first two episodes and found the show to be different than the norm and pretty intriguing, but it got lost somewhere in the shuffle of the other 65897 shows I’m watching. I’d always intended to go back and watch it…an easy feat with it’s short length (11 eps)…and after reading a few reviews and hearing that it had a ton of humor in it, I finally decided that the time had come.

Wow, it’s been three whole months since I wrote a post here @ Oretachi. Though the posts never came, and my visits to check out if anything was happening here were few, I never really gave the place up. And now, after much thought and lots of css/typography headaches, I’ve decided to once again come back to blog on Oretachi. Only this time, things will be different than I’ve done them before.

Song Title: Motteke! Sailor Fuku
Anime: Lucky Star
Artist: Aya Hirano
Watch the OP (you really should watch this one to get the full effect)

I still honestly don’t know what compelled me to do this song next. I’m still questioning why it’s on here. I was gonna post a nice, engrishy rock song next, but then I started watching the recently released anime, Lucky Star. Since I’m in the anime music blogging business now, I of course decided that I had to watch the full OP in case I wanted to blog about it in the future. My initial reaction to the song was “wtf? are you serious? this is ridiculous…”. I didn’t like the song. And yet, when I watched episode two, the song caught my curiosity enough that I watched the OP all the way through again…soon enough we’re up to episode five and I haven’t wanted to skip the OP at all. This is quite odd for me, since I normally skip any OP/ED once I’ve heard it 2-3 times. Including the good ones. READ ON
