Introduction

My first ever requested review under the new format has been set. It is a far older anime than I am accustomed to.  Hana Yari Dango (Boys Over Flower) is a  highschool romance anime revolving around a woman named Tsukushi Makino  as her school life is turned up down when she stands up to the F4, a clique of rich men.  This leads to a reverse harem with dromatic elements. I’ll give you my thoughts on it in the upcoming review.

Taking Review Requests

Hi guys I have awesome news.  I  have given great thought to opening my review request  line to a more public forum.  As such, I will be allowing anyone to request via the site’s Facebook page.  I will be posting a new page regarding the rules for certain requests.  Until then, I encourage anyone to post anything within reason.  Bring forth your worst guys.

Changes to the Blog

Hi guys,

I have done quite a bit of thinking in regard to how I have run my blog up to this point and it occurs to me that my content has far too sparse.  I’m not giving you guys the content that you deserve as fans of anime and it breaks my heart to see that I have let you down.  In light of this I hope to be back on the reviewing circuit within the next few months.  With that said, I would also like to add and expand features that will make this blog more of a full featured website.    Until then I owe you my thanks for sticking by me.

Rightstuf Media Blasters Sale/Transported to Another World Special

The fine folks at Rightstuf Anime  have hit us with two amazing sales.  Both of which, thankfully, bring down the price on quit a few hot items from some of the anime word’s most popular franchises.  If you want to get your hands on  great stuff without costing you an arm and a leg this is the post for you.  Note these sales are time sensitive so get them while they’re hot.  Let’s get the show on the road.

First up is Media Blasters with a generous offer of up to 40% off the majority of their line-up.  This also spans their subsidiaries like Kitty Media and Tokyo Shock if your in the mood for something a little more risque.  But, in the interest of keeping things “family friendly” I will say that if you are a fan of shows like Ah! My Goddess, Green Green or Grenadier you are in for a treat.  I have seen great titles go for as low as $10.  But, hurry I doubt this will be available here  much longer.

This week’s deal is focused on otherworldly anime, manga and books.  It features shows like Konosuba, The Devil is a Part-timer and the Sword Art Online progressive novels,  These rang anywhere fro 20-60% off making for quite the steal.  Also as it is a weekly deal ther is still time to partake in it.  I’m considering doing so myself: if you wish to join me click here

 

I’m afraid that’s all I have for now.  For more bargains keep it locked here.

Introducing Anime Deals

In an expanded effort to bring you the best deals and specials in the anime community I’m going to change how I format these deal posts.  From now on, these will be done on a weekly basis barring any unforeseen issues.  On top of that, I plan on expanding my search field to sites like Crunchyroll and FYE to give you a wider range of deals yo choose from.  These will com in three distinct posts separated by vendor and will be placed in their own category.  Stay tuned for future bargains.

Life and WordPress: Why I’m not Always On

hi guys,

I figure its time for a proper explanation as to why I haven’t been on WordPress of late.  In truth, there are a ton of factors that have disallowed me to post.  I am thankfully over some of these hurtles some still plague me.  As suuch I want to grant my readers a brief glimpse into m life.  Hopefully my words convey the graveness of my current situation.  I hope it is satisfactory as I assure you my words are the absolute truth.  I thank those of you who read this as I hope you understand my need for honesty with my reader-base.

I am Disabled:

Although I think I’ve mentioned it a few times during my tenure as as a content-maker I am physically disabled.  I have a condition known as Cerebral Palsy (CP) which effects all four limbs and impairs neuro-muscular functions. Unfortunately, this means I am wheelchair-bound and my typing speed is severely hampered.  Also, a secondary illness known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) which leaves largely lethargic and lacking energy.  Add to this a bit of joint issues brought on by arthritis and you have a very painful cocktail of problems that set me back and keep me in a sickly state.

These problems keep me  from posting regularly due to the fact that I am often in great pain.  While I do often come up with ideas for good content I find them hard to implement over extended periods.  This is also the main reason why my posts are so sparse and irregular.  In short, the spirit is willing but the flesh is limited. But, still I want to try to bring my content to you,

I am a Recent College Graduate:

I have just completed my primary college degree and I’m currently seeking employment.  As I carry a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Mass Media finding a job within that field  in a small town, in rural Georgia no less, is a herculean task.  Add to this a debt of over $30,000 and a distinct lack of mobility and you will likely see why posting becomes secondary.  While I do find it fun to give my opinions and let a few reviews out it does not yet pay my bills.  As such, I work freelance as a graphic designer, screenwriter and video editor to earn a small bit of pay.

Other Projects:

On top of my work as a freelancer I am als engaged in writing a novel and a few scripts.  You will likely see these coming to the forefront of my work as time goes on.  Some of these have been momentous undertakings over a decade in the making and take precedence over my blogging.  As I am close to publication, I will likely mention these more.  Essentially, these are my brain-children and, I hope, my legacy.  They are as important as this blog and my readership..

In conclusion, I hope you understand why this blog is slow going.  By no means is this my retirement from blogging.  In fact, I plan on producing new comtent very soon.  All I ask fore is patience and understanding.  Thank you for reading and feel free to comment.  For anime news and reviews keep your browser pointed here.
