Aniblog Tourney: Alright, Let’s Do This!

Today’s World of Yamaguchi Hoshiko’s first round match in Aniblog Tourney 2. It’s a privilege to be part of it.

If you’re visiting for the first time, I welcome you. World of Yamaguchi Hoshiko contains mostly my inner thoughts/ramblings/casual discussions of anime and all that is related. You will also find some gaming posts which I chose to keep after the blog’s transition from a personal blog to an aniblog late last year.

Anime Blogging: Personal Concerns and Desires

Recently there were a lot posts on this topic circulating around the aniblogosphere. Granted, different sub topics were discussed. AceRailgun questioned about what keeps an anime blog around or not, Feal talked about competition and rage blogs, and Tsurugiarashix explored the different types of anime blogs. His Majesty OG even listed down his reasons or rather drive force of existence. These are all interesting read as it allows readers and bloggers alike to reflect on this community we’ve build together.

I don’t really have much to add to what was already being discussed. Like I said, those are great posts. Instead, I’ll write about my own concerns and desires when I decided to be a part of the anime blogging community. It’s fine even if it’s only a small part.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year all you happy people out there. It’s 2012, baby! And no, I don’t believe the end of the world is coming.

Right, besides wanting to wish all my readers a Happy, Happy New Year, I’d like to also share with you some of the plans I have for this blog this year. Things may change, will see how it goes.

Blog’s One Year Anniversary

Hey, hey, I’ve blogged for a year already! What’s that you ask? How am I feeling? I’m feeling great! I think? Haha. I started this blog about a year ago as a personal blog. Somehow, somewhere, I started blogging about anime more than anything else so I decided to make it the focus of this blog. I won’t be posting anymore personal posts. I haven’t been doing that for long time anyway.

It’s Not Your Ordinary Penguin

Feeling uninspired to write anything this week, I shall then share with you all the little penguin that has found its way to me recently. It’s papercraft, by the way. Very much similar to the one I posted here, but with a tiny little difference.

Unlike the previous papercraft, I’m not 100% sure if this is a penguin from Mawaru Penguindrum. It does look similar. Anyways, it’s adorable so it doesn’t matter.

Writing for One-Precinct

I’m popping in to write a quick announcement. I’m now writing for ONE-Precinct as well. Most likely on weekly basis. At this moment, I’m writing a weekly review for Mawaru Penguindrum. So if you, my much appreciated readers, are interested then do pop in and have a read. I kinda hope you will. Haha. They have loads of other writers writing up on current anime series, cosplays, dollfies and so on. Rest assured, you won’t be bored by my posts.

Boomslank Anime T-Shirts

I love seeing pretty things – that’s for sure. I might not be a good artist, but I love seeing beautiful artworks. A few of my anime posts here might have already hinted just how much I appreciate good graphic content.

Today, I am honored to introduce Boomslank to y’all, my readers. Boomslank is an anime graphic t-shirts seller. Their artwork – awesome! I’ve recently visited their website and boy, I was utterly amazed. I noticed that they offer color and black and white designs. Both types are amazing, though I must say – their colored designs are really, really cool. The choice of colors are always vibrant and the combination always complement each other. Needless to say, I really like their style.

Happy Chinese New Year!!

Today is Chinese New Year’s eve. Tomorrow is the first day of Chinese New Year, the beginning of the Year of Rabbit.

Here, I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all my readers a Happy Chinese New Year!  Have a prosperous and great Year of Rabbit.

恭喜发财！！
