Anime Banzai ! - アニメ万歳！- For Fans, By Fans

As most might have realized that I have not been blogging much on animes lately, it’s because that I have too much things to balance in my life. Prolly you can call it bad management :P but I have work, games, anime (yes. i still watch em but not the time to blog on em) and my girl. No, this blog is not going dead and its direction is still clear and straightforward - ANIME BANZAI!

I will blog on interesting stuff and figurines, etc but as for anime episode blogging, I might have to cut down on them or maybe stop it totally, other writers still be doing their respective animes though.
