Wow did I fall behind in everything. Instead of getting so much done over break like I had planned, I got absolutly nothing done I had wanted to. Had stuff I wanted to do here, wanted to do a total revamp on MKBO, wanted to get through games I got for Christmas, and wanted to lessen the "to watch" anime DVD pile. Short story behind me getting nothing done is I met a friend through work, and if I wasn't working, I was either out somewhere (rare occurence when home) or sleeping. I'm sorry for not getting anything done in that timeframe, and I'm going to get back on track with updates here, starting today. (You knew I wasn't just going to make a non-content apology update =P)
First off is that there's better images in a couple of the coverart galleries. Nothing new, just better quality pics for a few things. No scans of the SMSS DVD5 DVD covers yet as I didn't get them done before break, didn't do anything during break, and have no access to a scnner now since Brandon is no longer here. Second off, in Ushicon this weekend, ADV said in their panel that they are going to try to get the subs out over the summer, and will know better if it's possible or not after A-kon. Since this is just a one line news blurb with nothing solid about it, it's not worth making a news article on it.
Last but not least is something I wanted to do since the near end of summer. It was too late for me to start it when I thought of it, and break was very unproductive, this past week I finally started. There's now a new mini-section of the site called Dan's DVD reviews, where I'll be posting reviews of all Sailor Moon DVDs I own eventually. As well as posting them here, when I complete a review, I will send one to be posted as an alternate angle review to Anime on DVD.com. For those of you who haven't heard of it, AoD is a site where anime DVDs are reviewed, as well as a great news source, and some representaves from some studios go there to see what people think of their releases as well as take suggestions. I've recently been getting more into the site and taking part in the forums there, so I figure why not do alternate angle reviews for them since I'd be doing reviews on here. Works out good for both sites, and the reviews will get more exposure and a higher chance of a higher up seeing it and note what was said in it. Plus I'd also like to give more to the anime community and this is a good way to do that for now. You'll notice that the formats for the reviews on here and AoD are almost the same, that's because when writing them I did it in their style, and adapted it for over here. There's some differences (ie mine have scans), but for the most part the same. I'll have a link to AoD and my review there in the reviews here so you can see it there as well as go to the site for many other things if you wish. I hope to review all Sailor Moon DVDs, though I'll admit it'll probably be a while before I buy the ADV dubbed DVDs because they're honeslty not that high on my priority list even though I do plan to get them at some point.
I almost definetly won't be able to do updates on weekdays with how school, work, and schoolwork work out unless there's a news article to be made, but on weekends I'll try to do a little each week. I definetly plan on getting through my backlog of things to do here, it's my semester goal for SMU, so don't worry and enjoy the review!
