Hiatus Part 2

I’ve realized that keeping an anime blog dealing with all of the hot new shows is often a burden along with being quite fun.  For instance, I at least might find myself struggling to keep up with the shows I’m blogging (watching Gurren-Lagann raw the day it airs, writing about everything else the day the fansubs come out, etc.), when I may want to take time to catch up on something older or spend time on my other hobbies.

Thus, I’m not enjoying this whole “blogging brand new anime episodes” thing (although I could have figured that out years ago before moving to a proper blog) and have decided that I don’t really want any more weight on my shoulder. My time would be better spent writing about older or more obscure series. For instance, I have a lot of random (shoujo) manga in Japanese and am finally getting to the point where I can understand them. Writing about them is a much more appealing thought than, say, having to keep right on top the newest releases. On the other hand, reading them takes a while, as I have to look up many things, so any review would still be days away, at the least.

The bottom line? Nothing more on new series (for now) except for reviews.

Hiatus

I hate to be doing this already, but due to the rediscovery of a relatively time consuming hobby (piano), I’m running out of time to blog.  Basically, once I’m done with work, have practiced for at least an hour, and done all of the necessary chores to keep my apartment from being disgusting, I have time to watch a few episodes a night, but not to write about them, too.  Since I don’t want to give up keeping up with any shows to write about one or two, I definitely can’t do the episode by episode blogging thing on a regular basis and I also can’t really keep up with reading others’ blogs.  Hence I may do full reviews once some of the current shows are over or maybe some impressions on the summer season’s shows that I’m looking forward too (not that many), but nothing more (unless I get tired of the piano or get fired from work or something equally horrible).
