I’d like to congratulate my good friends wildarmsheero of Mistakes of Youth, sdshamshel of Ogiue Maniax, and Shingo of Heisei Democracy on their well-deserved wins in The Anime Blog Awards. I hope we see them and all other recognized bloggers continue to strive to illustrate their love for this hobby, in this current year and beyond. Marisa salutes you all on your hard work.
I have to thank the folks behind The Anime Blog Awards for their time effort put into a much needed event for our community. I’m happy to see that the process has gone more smoothly than 2008 Democratic primaries. Obama for prez!
Now it’s not all roses in this fair contest. I’m baffled on how Hinano’s Ex-Fansubber Hitorigoto was voted third for “Best Art/Doujin/Visual Novel Blog”. She’s a nice gal and all, but beyond a few mentions here and there on galge and doujin, her blog is almost completely devoid of it. Thanks for knocking off a more deserving blog and turning this into a pure popularity contest, everyone.
I would lament on popularity silliness in other categories, but that would be borderline nitpicking.
Also, no nods for omo of Omonomono? Aww.

Was Sub even in the running, as sad as that is? He deserves far more respect!

Hinano
I honestly don’t know why.
I mean I do have a section where I did a couple otome game and renai game reviews but it’s not really the “main” meat of my site. Then again, the main meat of my site, which happens to be episode summaries, didn’t even get me nominated in that category ^^; Perhaps it’s because I’m working on a blogger visual novel that I got a couple votes in there?_?

dude, I’m kind of glad I didn’t even get a nod. It reaffirms my indie cred.
