Yeah, it's kinda surprising that you've kept up blogging for so long - I know you sometimes feel like you don't update often enough but to still update at all (great Chi's post btw) takes some doing. Always a pleasure to have you guys as fellow bloggers! ^_^ @Sasa: Many thanks, belated or otherwise!

The day you close this blog, I'm going to cry. (I'm being dere-dere too now.) To be honest, I was really surprised to see that my blog is even half a year older than yours - it doesn't feel like it at all! I also arbitrarily set my blog's birthday on a special day: my own (in reality, it's something like +/- 2 days). Hehe.

I'm aiming for a celebratory one-post-per-day blogging schedule this week, although that's also to catch up on the post backlog that I've built up for myself. @don: thanks. Same to you! ^_^ @Bateszi: yeah, Mangaminx recommended me <em>Kashimashi</em>! It's good to know she's still around and doing well. @TheBigN: If you can keep it up for a year, you're already halfway there! (: @IKnight: middle-aged?! Beats being a pensioner, I guess. ;) @IcyStorm: yeah, I used to find the idea of older blogs daunting. Rest assured you'll see it from the opposite side someday! @psgels: yeah, they're gone but not forgotten! @DS: I've no idea what the future holds TBH. I'm hoping I can keep this going for as long as I can... @Karura: it's a shame about Hopeless, it really is. It's strange to think your blog's about to hit the Terrible Twos soon as well though. It's great to see some of the older crowd still going strong. @hayase: I'll do my best to reach the next milestone! @Peter S: cheers. Your frequent commenting hasn't gone unnoticed either! @Kabitzin: don't worry, it isn't. I can't speak for the other ABC members though! @Cameron Probert: patience, my friend. Racking up the stats takes time (although I suspect quite a few hits are from search bots!) @Owen S: there's something about this season...I don't know. There's a lot coming up on the fansub circuit soon, although I've yet to even begin making a 'to watch' list. @Hige: again, I miss Hopeless' posts. The first of my Saikano reviews is up now btw, as promised. Thanks everyone.

It's been a great tenure so far! Yeah, I miss Hopeless a lot, too. It's sad how he disappeared off the face of the internet. I think university played its usual trick; I sympathise entirely. Also: can't wait for your SaiKano posts. The manga is one of my genuine favourites and I just recently bought the DVD boxset. Happy birthday, sir. It’s been a great tenure so far!

The coincidence amazes me sometimes, heh. Must be something about Spring that gets people started -- I know I did. Nevertheless, here's a late happy anniversary wish. That's one whole year of seniority more than mine! May you blog happily for many more years to come, with none of that abrupt disappearance from the internet that we've come to associate with many a person. Cheers. Looking forward to your posts as usual. Wow, did everyone I know start blogging in April or what? The coincidence amazes me sometimes, heh.

Two years is no mean feat and to have lasted for so long (in relative blogging terms, at least) is an achievement to be proud of; I love reading this blog. Seems like there was this whole generation of us that came through into blogging at the same time; I still have an occasional chat with Michelle (Mangaminx) and she seems really happy, albeit in a way that doesn't involve downloading raw obscure yuri anime on IRC :) No doubt, it was her fault that you ended up watching Kashimashi! Anyway, keep it up! Well done, Martin. Two years is no mean feat and to have lasted for so long (in relative blogging terms, at least) is an achievement to be proud of; I love reading this blog.
