Hung> LOL Yea I probably should have done that but…honestly even if they sent me a copy I’d be like “god damnit I don’t really wanna read a children’s book about some cat ”
I’m not against the industry but I don’t support it either. By the time something gets released in America, if I actually cared about this show, I no longer do. Also most shows that get picked up these days are that one show I avoided (i.e. code gayass) I felt bad for not posting this but after hearing that he sent it to multiple bloggers , screw it I’m not doing it anymore XD

Haha, I just got this exact same press release/image email.

The trick to selling out is: You need to get something for posting!

I’m gonna ask the guy for a review copy! You should too!

Kabitzin> Yes definitely…and people are telling me Blood+ was already released for a month so that annoys me even more…its not a press release he wanted, it was shameless advertising!

Hinano, I got an email about this too, and I agree these work better for news-type blogs. What I _do_ like is when publishers contact me and help me with giveaways along with a post about whatever widget they are advertising. That or it should at least be breaking news. I feel that is a more fair proposition than just me posting up a free ad for an industry player.

So you will be more tsuntsun to the next press release? I do think that we can all agree that the creepy cat was post-worthy.

You shouldn’t have wasted your time doing this post. After all this time I don’t think anybody cares about blood+, except its loyal fan-base, does it have one?, and the cat thing is freaky, I showed the picture to my niece and she told my sister that I wanted to scare her. XD

Kiro> Yea probably. I keep looking at this post and I wanna vomit all over it. I don’t think I’ll be doing anymore of these unless they are relevant to my interests….and given how America’s releases are like 2 years behind my “interests” I can’t see myself posting this stuff anymore. Obviously I’m not the only person he sends this stuff to - and not as if I am paid to advertise for him, so I no longer feel “guilty” for not posting everything he sends to me.

Maybe they wanted you to go, “OMG this is great, go buy it!”
