Domo~, Ruri desu~! I’ve some sad news to announce – this’ll be the last monthly summary post ever. :( Daddy says there’s no need anymore for such posts since he never sticks by what he wants to do in the previews for the next month anyway, and there seems to be almost no point anymore as well for such posts. I’m not sure if I’ll get chances to post in the future as well, but I sure hope so! Daddy hasn’t been in a good mood lately though, so I’d best not ask him now. Anyway, for this final monthly summary, I hope I do a good job and thank all of you for reading those I’ve done! ^_^

After discussing with Littleneko on who the next Girl of the Month is going to be…we have chosen Furude Rika from the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni series! Go ahead and read on about our priestess of the Hinamizawa village.

Before we go on, I realized that I made a glaring mistake last episodic for episode 6 – I put 07 instead of 06. For about 5 hours after I made the post it went unnoticed, so if after the first 5 hours, you followed a link to a 404 error, that was because I changed the title and the post permalink to correctly reflect the episode number. Apologies for that. My episodics from now on will probably be late due to me moving back to Granado Espada and doing studies at the same time; further the episodics are difficult to do because of the number of images and because of the summary. Anyways I hope to not do this for next season. -_- On with the episode, where much love was in it for the fanservice.

Recently, I mentioned that I had opened, or more to the point, reopened an old forum of mine, called the HPG (read the FAQ and Guide there please as to what the HPG means). Back when I asked about the feasibility of a forum, I had little readership as compared to now, and further, there was no Team Blue yet. The size of the current Team Blue however, along with the interactive possibilities of a forum, led me to reopen a forum, but is a forum indeed better than a blog?

This is the crux of this post – the comparison of forums vs. blogging. It should be quite apparent in fact that there are indeed advantages and disadvantages to each, but allow me to at least express what I feel about both.

AOU 2009 just went past. Quite interesting that I had no idea until AkibaHobby posted their coverage of the figures that were presented at the event. All pictures in this post are thanks to them. I will just touch briefly on the ones I found interesting here, so take a look at their pictures in the main article. if you are further interested. No news yet about the games (Arcade Operators’ Union is what I gather it would mean in English, somewhat) but that hardly matters to me nowadays, considering how all games are either repeats of one another or just plain boring.
