I’m #13 on the list of 50 Rockin’ Anime & Manga Blogs
May 7th, 2010 AstroNerdBoy I received word the other day that I made the Guide to Art School’s 50 Rockin’ Anime & Manga Blogs. Shockingly, I made number 13 on the list.

January 1st, 2010 AstroNerdBoy Another year has come and gone. I thought I’d first look back to see how I did on anime I’d planned to watch in 2009. Minami-ke Okaeri — I completed the series. Slayers EVOLUTION-R — Again, I was able to complete the series. Still waiting for it to come out on DVD (though Slayers REVOLUTION
