Thanks for 2 Million Hits

Thank you! (Simoun)

I started this blog almost nine years ago, with a post on Paradise Kiss. Other shows featured in those early days: Noein, Glass Mask, Lemon Angel Project (an early idol anime), Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, and especially Simoun, which remains my favorite show of all time.

That was 856 posts ago. I missed it when the hits topped a million. Now, after many years, they have hit two million. Thank you all.

I hope the blog has brought you some pleasure and some information. Making the posts has done both of those things for me.

My anime-viewing is slowing down a bit, so I'm not sure how often I will post as time goes on. But I'm enjoying doing character/seiyuu pages for a number of current shows, so it probably won't die out entirely.

And seiyuus continue to be my greatest anime interest. I started as a big fan of Hirano Aya, after hearing her in Haruhi. As her personal and professional life crumbled, I moved on to a new young seiyuu, Yuuki Aoi. Now that she is established as a top name, I find myself following the growth of young Kido Ibuki. At least my taste is improving a bit. And as producers continue to prefer cheap young voices to expensive older ones (except for a few big stars), there is a continuous supply of interesting new voices to listen to.

So I guess I'll keep posting a bit -- unless I continue to find myself loving shows that everyone else hates (Glasslip) and just get too depressed to carry on. Lol.
