This week is kind of a special week for my blog. It’s not often I talk about the successes I achieve from my blog because that’s not my primary aim to begin with. My aim is (and always has been) delivering quality content to the best of my ability for my readers and ensuring they come back for more. In addition, finding new ways to attract new readers so we can all enjoy as a community.
So for this week, my blog has been featured on AnimeBlips “Featured blog of the Week”. You can read the full report here which even includes a little interview with Robyn Lass, the editor of AnimeBlips did. I just can’t help but smile everytime I read it. lol
So what is AnimeBlips. To save me the time from explaining, I’ve quoted the “About info” from their About page.
AnimeBlips was created for otaku crazy about anime and manga, and the news, events, books, movies, and conferences that emerge from the anime and manga worlds. By combining robust technology with spirited editorial, AnimeBlips brings you inside the creative, obsessive world of the most popular anime and manga, removing the hassle of information overload, and providing one-stop access to all the hottest breaking news, rumors, and commentary from expert sources around the Web. If it’s hot, if people are whispering, shouting, searching for, or sounding off on it—you’ll always find it at AnimeBlips.
Basically my blog was automatically added after the success of a few posts. I was delighted yet confused at the same time in what AnimeBlips was many months ago. I was advised to claim my blog as mine so I signed up and did that. They even had a little ranking system which I thought was pretty cool as well.
Now with the success I’ve been having, I’m glad I’ve joined. I’ve noticed an increase in page views ever since I joined and that could only be one thing, more readers enjoying my content. In addition, it seems they are coming back for more as it has continued staying this way.
Even though I am proud of the way it is going so far, I’m surprised my blog has has gotten this successful and well recognized to my readers and commentators because I haven’t changed in what bring out (content wise) and I’ve always remained the same, honest and fun-fill because that’s just me. :D
It’s not too late to join up the fun and share your interesting content. Signing up is easy and already I can see many blogs I know who are already automatically added in. All they need to do is sign up and claim it. ^^
Thanks again to Robyn Lass for featuring my blog this week and to all of my readers and commentators who still drop by and see what this figma otaku (I still love them ^^) is still doing weekly. ^^

According to animeblips, Nanoha Takamachi is my top tag. Saber is going to gut me for betrayal and for being a lolicon x.x
Anyway, congratz!

But anyways, congratulations! Now if you excuse me, I’m going to wallow in envy for a while.

@All
Thanks everyone for ur support. I really appreciate. U betcha I will continue providing the best content as I’ve always have.
@zenical
U bet I will get them to ask u who are u favourite “LUVES” if ur nominated so u can fangirl through the entire interview. LOL
@Panther
Well, u have ur own so I envy that. xD
@GNdynames
It’s because u have been posting too much about Nanoha but hey I don’t blame ya. Ur moving on and I see that as a good sign. ;)
@Blowfish
hahaha. Well, I was gonna pick my first anime as it’s still my all time favourite but Gunslinger Girl is really is my memorable one. ^^
@Snark
LOL, at least ur update with it’s contents as it’s on ur blogroll.
@Roy
Successful or not, the idea is to spread ur content around to the many ppl who maybe interested out there.

@zenical
Staying calm when talking about ur LUVES is something I can’t see happening. It’s ur LUVES we are talking about. *Thanks about Hocchan. Itching to go into fanboy mode* :P
@GNdynames
I reckon there are quite similar in characteristics. The tone of their voice. the both wield kick-ass swords are a few examples. lol
