There are days I start to question why I blog anime. After reading this entry on Satoshi’s and seeing lolitron’s blog, my motivation starts to waver more and more.

I always knew my grammar was horrible and my insights at middle-school level, but at least had the comforting notion that I ruled over the screencapping side of anime blogging. Yes, it does sound pretty petty of me but it was something I thought was unique to my blog compared to the rest. Oh how wrong I was. If only I taken the rule that “there’s always someone better than you” to heart, then maybe I wouldn’t feel so bad.

lolitron does some great anime blogging by massive and high quality screencapping. abq (assumingly the author) is a lot more thorough than I am. The big kicker for me, however, is the fact he offers thumbnail and full size version of every cap he does… something I never ever planned to do. I guess when it comes down to it, I’m just a tad jealous that the guy has gone one step further than me in evolving the anime blogsphere.

I am awed by your blogging abilites abq of lolitron. Can I call you “master” from now on? ;)

I dunno, Moyism. I always thought that it’s about making sure that you’re satisfied with your own work, not about outperforming anyone else. I for one can say that you’re part of my daily lecture, a part which I’m looking forward to all the time :)

So I hope that your motivational slump is gonna pass you by soon ^_^

Good point Mentar, and it is basically why people blog. Dunno.. guess being “on top” was just another plus.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! Motivational slump is pretty much gone but college work is putting me off from really blogging. I’ll have to admit looking at abq’s blog has made me want to blog a bit more now (and if anything, to catch up with everyone else).

Oh, come now. There *is* something unique to your blog. YOU.

Yeah, that sounds cheesy, but it’s true. Sure, we all have our own styles as well, and that helps differentiate us on one level, but everyone has their own unique take on things.

If all else fails, you can be on top for anime- and manga-related goods expenditures. ^_^

I like your blog, i come here frequently, not just because of the images, not to mention of course that not all people has high speed conections to see high quality, and if they want HQ just check the episode.

It would be a shame if this blog stoped like satoshi said… it’s your blog, it’s unique that way, in the way you express your opinions and not the others :) cheer up i hope you keep doing the good work you did till now

I like your blog, screens are all well and good, but when they spoiler the entire episode, they become a bit pointless ^_^. Also, the amount of time it takes to get through the blog for ONE EPISODE is huuge…

I just stumble on this blog 2 days now and I already like it, it’s easy to understand, the pics are funny and kawaii, The titles are fun too, trying to guess what’s it about and discovering things..
It’s also very quick to load and I like your banner.

Perhaps i’m outta context but way to go! way to go.
