Is Ex-Fansubber Hitorigoto’s 1 year anniversary! :D

So while I wanted to do the analytics thing like tjhan did for his blog but I didn’t actually install that until March of this year so it’s gonna be inaccurate.

So anyway here we go:

First Blog Entry: Kamisama Kazoku 05 on June 24, 2006

First Commenter: Anga from Strangely Common Anime Blog on my Kirarin Revolution post.

Most Popular Post (since March): Summer Season Preview 2007 - my guess is I was the first one to do it XD

Most Popular Category (since March): Naruto. But what else is new?

Post with the most comments: I had to go back and search manually but my guess is this one (I just looked into the rants & raves category.) That’s also the post where I officially announced that me and JP quit the podcast.

Top 5 Most Searched Keywords: My most searched keyword is usually ex-fansubber but to make it interesting I took it out for the top 5 (and these stats are again since March):
1. Proposal Daisakusen
2. Lovely Complex
3. Hanayome to Papa
4. Keitai Shoujo
5. Hayate no Gotoku

Top 5 Most Perverted Keywords: Going down the list the top 5 most searched wacky keywords…
1. Full metal alchemist yaoi
2. full metal alchemist porn
3. giant cocks
4. school rumble hentai
5. naruto porn

Top 5 Keywords Which the Visitors Stayed the Longest: The keyword someone searched to get here and just couldn’t leave until they read every post..
1. modotte! mamotte! lollipop chapter 7 - read 500 pages
2. www.mamotte lollipop in english.com - read 173 pages
3. inukami : hake - read 168 pages
4. hana yori dango fight - read 137 pages
5. karekare insani - read 126 pages

And now a few words about my blogroll…(or attempt to anyway)
Alafista - He went from Alafista Otaku to Home Made Otaku and back to Alafista. Last I recall he was henpecked.
Anime Life - Me and Scott used to chat on the irc channel but I long left it and now I just see him joining random groups on facebook more than updating his blog.
AzureFlame - At first I had no idea who she was or what she wrote - until the glorious season of Busou Renkin where I was showered with Hard Gay posts every week to tickle my fancy.
Itsumo Anime Blog - Back when Nana was airing I’d sometimes peek at her Nana posts.
Anime Desho Desho - I just know Tsubaki as the huge Hirano fanboy but lately he doesn’t blog anime cause Singapore got a 40 foot pole up their ass.
Anime Blog ga Arimasu - I’ve added Shirukii’s blog recently but I enjoy the posts there and hey we both disliked Lucky Star and the horrible animation of Yoake Mae.
Basu Gasu Explosions - Hung’s blog whose title he had trouble pronouncing on his own podcast JK. Me and Hung go back to the podcast days where I discovered his name’s actually pronounced “hang” not “hung”. Also it seems like we talk more through facebook these days too…
Lesbians and Hats and Books and Travellers - Also known as Yuribou who recently got his own domain to parade yuri glory for everyone! He’s also British :D
Beta Waffle - Another Brit! Very infamously known for his unfunny internet meme comics, although we used to chat a lot on the animenano irc and one guest podcasted with him (instead of JP who was moving to Jersey City at the time.)
Karoushi - Mike left KonoSono to start his own blog after I met him at Otakon…but now he’s too busy to update it so he abandoned it. Frownz
Minaide Hazukashii - I used to think JP was this obnoxious smartass and maybe he is, but now I’m dating him, and I have trained him well. >=D Oh and he also threw up everywhere on our first date.
Gnostic Lone Wolf Poetry - Seth is JP’s friend from college in Ohio, and has a lovely yet sarcastic view on things.
Heart’s Contents - Ronin’s blog about a renai game he’s making in which I’m a genious professor!
Matthew’s Anime Blog - One of the first blogs I had linked to, Matthew is really into mahou shoujo shows that I usually don’t watch but he’s not been updating as much as he used to.
moetron - A great news blog that brings Moonphase anime series news (if you’re too lazy to read it yourself). He also is now a proud owner of a ginormous Mikuru figure.
Novastorm - Danny’s blog came a month or so after mine and we both seem to like similar shows except that he blogs from fansubs usually.
orz - I used to think drm was this psycho from Singapore then I realized he’s pretty cool and actually his rants & raves tend to amuse me.
Otaku Times - A news blog that I added recently to my blog roll, haven’t had much time to get to know it yet.
Picture Perfect Paranoia - Ronin’s blog that he rarely updates but I know he was a hard core fan of our podcast and it crushed his little heart when I called it quits.
Random Curiosity - Omni’s massively popular blog fulla huge summaries and screenshots. The man’s busy now so he recruited some weirdos to blog awful shows like Sucky Star. I haven’t really ever talked to him but he seems like a nice guy.
Retsgip’s Anime Blog - His blog is pretty funny especially when he gets into talking about Ikkitousen 2. XD
RIUVA - tjhan’s blog. Me and tj got to know each other when he’d stay up to wee hours before work on irc and chat with everyone. His blog posts are pretty entertaining especially ones about otaku guys having a social life.
Sea Slugs! - I love the screenshots with the sarcastic alt text to them. I loved looking at them during the airing of Utawarerumono.
Strangely Common - Me and Anga were big shoujo fans who were into Kirarin and Nana but I haven’t seen much of him lately.
Tainted Blog - Ashley’s blog most popularly known about her rant against fat yaoi fangirls. Contains self drawings and pictures of farting butts.
THAT Blog - Just like Tsubaki, Impz who has an obsession with Tsuruya, has cut down on his anime blogging thanks to Singapore. He is also in a long distance relationship which is what’s been keeping him occupied these days.
That’s Not Kanon - I added this blog just this week so not much to say yet.
TokiDoki - This blog covers a lot of older shows that I have seen but most of you probably have missed so I’d give it a look.
Typenights - I haven’t interacted much with this blog either since I recently added it, but I know its one of the other few blogs that actually keeps up with Naruto.
Whai Whai’s Anime Blog - We started out blogs maybe a week or so apart and have been on each others blog rolls ever since. He doesn’t update as much as before but the one thing we have in common is - Windows Vista!
Wrex’s Anime Whirls - Wrex was around I think even before me, and he’s currently living IN Japan so he gets his Hayate summaries way before I even download the damn episode ;) He’s also a jdrama buddy since he watches a few down there as well.
Yamaki’s Anime Blog - One of the rare few anime blogs on livejournal. For some reason when I think of this blog Honey & Clover always comes to mind.
Daijoubu - Another new blog I added to my blogroll so not much to say yet.
Hontou ni Sou Omou - I think this dude’s a gunpura fanboy - at least that’s what comes to mind when I think of this blog - well now his latest thing is choco coronets lucky star.
Hontou ni Taihen Desu - Stripey’s siscon blog. I think I used to read Higurashi posts on this blog like ages ago before I even started my own blog. Also he loves Kotori from Da Capo but I’m a Nemu fan.

Well I can’t think of any other milestones to mention in this post. I’m glad I got into anime blogging and that things worked out well that I’m still able to continue this hobby. I’m glad to have met all of you guys and I hope to meet some of the newcommers who came recently to the blog o sphere (and please guys if you start a blog try to continue! I don’t meet a lot of you cause you give up after a month or 2!)

Well back to your regularly scheduled anime blogging program. ;)

    Happy anniversary, Hinano! You deserve all the attention for being just that awesome and entertaining. (I assume number 3 on perverted keywords is because of that one H-game you reviewed? XD)

  2. KabitzinNo Gravatar UNITED STATESon 24 Jun 2007 at 11:00 am

    Congrats on the 1st year completed! I can’t believe it’s only been a year since you’re already such a big part of the anime blogging community.

    I enjoyed the gossip of your blogroll list =).

    If by “talk through facebook” you mean “fight through facebook” then yeah, that’s true.

    Congratulations!

  6. ShirukiiNo Gravatar CANADAon 24 Jun 2007 at 12:10 pm

    Congrats on getting through the first year, mine’s coming up next month. (But your stats put mine to shame T_T) Seems like more and more blogs are showing up, only to die out a few months later. Thanks for the mention on the blogroll list.

    PS: I’m tsundere for lucky star =(

  7. HidoshiNo Gravatar CANADAon 24 Jun 2007 at 12:48 pm

    Picture Perfect Paranoia - Ronin’s blog that he rarely updates but I know he was a hard core fan of our podcast and it crushed his little heart when I called it quits.

    Ahahahaha.

    Which part of it was true? XD

    “Very infamously known for his unfunny internet meme comics”

    Presently, I am attempting to judge exactly how depressed I should feel about such a fact ^^;

    Congrats Hinano! I like it that you wrote something about each blog that you’ve linked to. It makes us feel just a bit special. :) I’m glad to see that you’re having fun blogging, as it shows in your posts and especially in your stats. I’ll have a glass of wine to celebrate this festive day. =)

    あら、あら、一周年おめでとうございます。
    ヒナノさんに日本の格言を送ります。

    「継続(けいぞく)は力(ちから)なり」

    なに事も続けていれば、自分の力(power)になりますよ。
    という意味です。

    (Full metal alchemist yaoi)は笑いました。

  26. TokiDokiNo Gravatar AUSTRALIAon 28 Jun 2007 at 10:13 am

    hehe congrats, I wonder where we’ll all be in a years time lol only time can tell.

  27. AngaNo Gravatar FINLANDon 29 Jun 2007 at 2:13 pm

    Hmm, Kirarin… I never watched those last episodes even though I said something like that almost a year ago. I guess it doesn’t matter anymore. =)

    But yeah, I hope you reach next anniversary too!
