Though I had written a rather popular entry called IsShouKenMei As Applied To Byousoku 5 Centimeter in late November ‘07, I had not written anything for publication for my occupation as a Staff Writer at Anime-Source.com since late August ‘07 after Otakon came and went. This pathetic truth haunted me, as I believed that any day I would be visit the site only to find my staff privileges removed. Instead, I was given an ultimatum by my “boss”…and with that, I was able to respond accordingly, isshoukenmei and all. Though this has not been explicitly stated, I realize that I will not be excused from such negligent conduct again unless I have a better reason than I can’t write the way I want to.

So…after keeping quiet about this until completion — I am notorious for not following up when I say I am “planning” to do something — I am proudly announcing my newest anime preview of Shion No Ou that was just published on A-S about an hour ago. It really feels good to put out something again that is sure to be read and appreciated by at least a few like-minded anime fans. With many choices for anime to review all the time, I hope to produce more like this.

Whether anime enthusiast or not, I appreciate open commentary as always.
