Head on over to THAT, where ExecutiveOtaku’s put together a very special post for all you folks out there who’ve just started an anime blog, or who’re thinking about doing so.

There’s nothing like the end of the year to make you reflective. I had hoped to start this post off by proudly announcing that although I’d been accepted to grad school for September 2010, I still planned to continue the blog. Unfortunately, all four schools I applied to gave me the middle finger, and since I had given the middle finger to considering any safety schools, it created this whole endless eight cycle of middle fingers and left my future in flux.

But despite my uncertain state of work/study/future plans, there’s still a couple goals I’m committed to for Rabbit Poets:

1. I want to it be a long term thing; to eventually become a mainstay like Sea Slugs, THAT, RC or Star Crossed.
2. I don’t want to settle for same old, same old

Rabbit Poets has come a long way since the days where I think I was the only visitor to where it is now. One year sounds like a long time, but it also feels like it passed in a flash.

Update: The move turned out to be pretty simple and quick. But if you notice anything misbehaving or funky, please leave a comment. Thanks!

It started with Stripey’s post about what your top 5 says about you. And in my comment, I realized that of my 5 favorites, 4 came from 2007 (Code Geass, Gurren Lagann, Seto no Hanayome, Higurashi Kai), and the other candidates aired in 2006 (Haruhi season 1, Higurashi season 1). And then I realized all of those were shows that I had marathoned. So it got me thinking. Is there something about watching a show weekly that takes away from my enjoyment of it? Alternately, was I subconsciously boosting the scores and memories of shows I did marathon? I hypothesized watching a show on a weekly basis might take away from the enjoyment and the memories a slight bit, because I got to stew on each episode for a week, whereas when I marathon a show, I tend to be more bigger-picture focused, and not dwell on minor issues.
