What’s So Good About Anime?

Posted on by

You might think that this is a funny or, at best, a silly question, but I want to thoroughly explore it because this entire community is dedicated anything and everything anime related. It’s important that we, as anime watchers, understand why we love anime so much that it creates an impact on society. If we didn’t like certain facets of anime, why would be watching it in the first place? In this post, I list the key aspects of anime that to me make anime so unique and addictive with an explanation for each: Continue reading →

Over a year already?

Where to begin?

It started with a dream… (isn’t that how all awesome stories start?) On a late Spring night, Chiya was frightfully bored. He had almost nothing to do. All he was doing was vegetating (sp) in front of his tiny monitors trolling on IRC.
Suddenly! An idea rushed into his head! Chiya sauntered over to the Deity Jarudin and put forward a proposal…

Second week as part of the staff

Hai~!  So, liek, im staf naow n stuf.  ‘S hrd, but im dong ok, i gess.

[insert enthralling story here about my life]

So, seriously, the staff does a lot of work, much of which are things that you don’t realize go on at all.  And, well, don’t insult any of them, because it’s not going to get you far, which you should know if you’ve read any of psyren’s blog posts…

I’m a bit OCD about certain things, so please, *please* remember to add keywords to your torrents and tag your OSTs.  If you don’t, then I’ll hunt you down and… do some unnamed horrible thing to you.  Yeah.

I don’t think I really have anything to say, but Chiya keeps bugging me, so here I am.  Oh, and y’all should idle in #boxtorrents; we always need more people to troll.

Waiting for loli bribes,

First week as part of the staff

Hi! It’s my first blog post, and I think I’ll start off with some irc fun.

I was on Rizon last night. I forget what I was looking for, but I did an @find trigger for a file. About 3 seconds later, I get pinged/time/version checked/fingered by someone. I check to see if he’s an op and he’s just a normal user. So I query him and this convo sparked from it. Warning: This is a long blog post and log.
Edit: Xavier learnt a new trick and made a nifty little button appear. ^_^

Guess who’s back, back again!

Well then, welcome to the FOURTH BxT Blog set. How are you all today? Had a great 15 days sans moi I hope. (sans moi means “without me” in French. -wink-)
Well, anyway. Quite a bit in store for you this production. Lemme grab that slave of mine by the ear and get him doing some work too!

Note the complete lack of formatting? Yes, Cubensis55s fault. The pictures not showing up correctly? Cubensis55 again. Will get it sorted soon. For now, it’s best to copy URL and paste into URL bar.  >_>;

Owwie!  >-<

Why must we continue the physical injuries? I don’t even understand how you’re able to do this through a computer…

Konichiwa fellow blogmiesters! Welcome to the….uummmm…(forth?)… installment of the BxT Blog!  We’ve got an exciting new Japanese lesson for you, and a great interview with fellow BxT member, iindigo!  Rumor has it we may be having a “BxT Blog Banner Competition” soon; so sharpen up those Photoshop skills. But first, we need those lazy, good-for-nothing, slacker BxT Idol judges to get off their butts and do some judging!

*cubesy cautiously looks around*

Enjoy the blog!

First of all this is actually my first official blog post ever. I never felt much like blogging but now that we have BoxTorrents blog I thought it appropriate to add something every now and then. So here it is!

I have never liked alcohol much. I don’t like the grainy taste of beer or whisky. When in Japan I tried some sake but it tastes a lot like beer and whisky, although it’s made from rice. I’m more of a liquor person I guess. Mix drinks also do well for me, so long as they’re not mixed with gin which tastes like soap even if you dilute it with orange juice, in case you like that stuff mix it with tonic to get mouthwash or car polish …

I never understood what is so great about alcohol. I guess I don’t really have a strong preference for alcoholic beverages because I’m just as happy with some tea or juice. Most people seem to frown upon it, other people accept it. In all though, I take pride in choosing for myself what I like so if I feel like drinking I will drink, else I will stick to soda.

What is your experience with different kinds of alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages? Do you drink even if you don’t want to drink sometimes?

Blog Ahoy!

And so we enter the third edition of “The Blog“. For those who noticed a small change, congratulations! We have transferred from Nucleus to WordPress. This is mainly because I screwed up when choosing a blogging system and chose the worst we could get on our budget. All the other mods were being mean so I begged Jarudin to change us over.
This means that you can now register! (Link on the side.)
(Yes, this now means you have to login to post comments.)
Anyway, sit back, and enjoy the event. (Don’t sit too far back though or you won’t be able to read the blog!)

Thanks for joining us for blog #3!
My wounds have finally healed up from last blogs violent massacre.　I’m now wearing a Phantom of the Opera mask to cover the horrible puss-filled scars on my face, but hey, it’s good to be alive!　I think both Chiya and I are starting to get the hang of this blog thing.　Of course, we’re always looking for room to improve and new things to add.　If you have any ideas or anything you want to submit, please get in contact with one of us!

In the meantime, keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times, sit back, and enjoy the blog. ^_^　(And please excuse my whilst I build a pipe organ in my basement to compliment the new mask…)

The Blog; Episode Two

Here we are, on the first of April. After having spent AGES working on a brilliant -ahem- addition, I was told not to go live with troll due to the nature of the site. (In otherwords, Jarudin doesn’t want us turning into the next Dattebayo. Which is a shame..)

Anyway, after a quick re-shuffle, we quickly got back to work and are happy to annouce that we can still release our latest product!

We’ve got another interview for you, as well as the secret behind the magical “modhelp” button. Stashed away is is also another Mystery Blogger. (Albeit I had to whip and pester and bully someone to get hold of it. ^_^)

We’re still looking for new content to add, or content to remove, so just throw me a message to see what can be arranged. =D

Let the fun commence!

Here we are with our second installment of the BoxTorrents Blog, and boy did we (ahem…”I”) barely make it! I was busy and missing for days at a time as Chiya frantically searched for me. When he did finally find me, he dragged me through a field of broken glass then threw me in a pool of lemon juice. I finally submited defeat and turned in the blog the next morning… T-T

We’ve got some cools things in the pipeline.
I’ve massively re-thought how to do the “Learn Japanese” portion of our blog.
Hopefully, the new ideas will work well for everybody!

So, kick back, grab some iced tea, and enjoy BxT Blog #2!
(and please excuse me whilst I tend to my chiya-induced lacerations… T-T)
