Well I’ve not done one of these for a while. So long in fact, that I’m not sure anyone still uses the word blogroll any more.
Fixing the Movie Business … It’s slightly Askew Friend of the Awesome Engine, Anthony Askew’s new film blog. Why not go and suggest him a better name for his blog and tell him to start using tags and categories!
COLONY DROP – Anime review site, who did a fine job of upsetting some pseudo-intellectual Haruhi fans recently.
Subatomic Brainfreeze – Dave from Colony Drop’s site. His Shin Mazinger reviews are why I don’t feel the need to write any.
Oh Word is updating again, though now as Rafi Kam’s blog. Still great though.
Roasted Peanuts – chronological discussion of Peanuts strips.
Hip-Hop Connection – the new online version of HHC, with blog and digital downloads. The PDF version of the magazine understands the needs of digital magazine layout in way I don’t think I’ve seen before.
Cheers for the shout out Brack, once i get some more readers i will be sure the awesome engine gets a scream out. I have also sorted Categories and Tags :)
still need to sort getting it linked with LJ and Twitter.
Thanks! I was also responsible for the Haruhi article. I honestly thought it was pretty tame, as CD goes, so the really angry backlash– more against the people they assumed us to be than any point raised in the article– was very interesting to watch unfold. If there’s a clique out there that honestly considers us The Greatest Enemy Of All, then that’s a mission accomplished, as far as I’m concerned.
I’ve been writing something on Satoru Akahori for posting at some point when I’m happy with it, and while writing it, it struck me why the Haruhi fans who deny it’s harem nature might think that. And it’s because it’s more like the model Akahori (and others) wore into the ground during the 90s, rather than the renai/erogame/visual novel model that’s been worn into the ground this decade.
