Looking forward to more great things to come, as you start this new chapter in your blogging life.

Hope I can finally move on from this blogging crossroad, the same way you did, but in my own way of course :) P.S. the first pic reminds me of the time you mentioned about your 'gothic lolita' (mis)image... or am I just imagining things? @__@ <abbr><em><abbr><em>usagijens last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ScrumptiousBlog/~3/474801462/" rel="nofollow">The Final Countdown Before the JLPT1 Doomsday</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Your absence will be sorely missed!

Damn, need sleep too..." but yeah, it's not going to be a flashy layout, at least not outwardly fancy. I'm especially happy about how the kana in the title turned out. @IKnight: I'm not sure when Kaiji #2 will air but the sequel is sorely needed. One Outs is gar and psychological and all, but it doesn't have the mullets. @Coburn: I'm hoping to post interesting stuff that's different enough to be a refreshing change but still interesting to anime bloggers/readers. Summer Wars got my interest purely through the TGWLTT connection, but I think that's sufficient! @Ghostlightning: much appreciated. See you on the other side! @Hige: thanks. I've avoided RPGs because they're such time suckers but Valkyria Chronicles is tempting, regardless of how the anime adaptation turns out. In reply to your twitter, I'm sooo looking forward to Summer Wars. @Peter S: happy christmas to you too! @Blissmo: I'm afraid I can't do new dresses at christmas! I don't have the knees for it... @TheBigN: yeah, I'll be very mindful of keeping the 'personal touch' that gives every blog its identity. Getting the same level of readership that this one did will take time and effort but it's always worth it in the end! @Omisyth: happy christmas to you too. 2009 needs moar Kaiji. ^_^ @Owen S: I must confess the minimalist design is partly down to “Hmm, must catch up on Tytania.
