Upping the level in uniqueness because I’ve got the award!

Minoa has pointed it out; it is going to become a classic!

I still do think that I have been steering away from my original goal in which I’ve talked about in my 100 followers post. I mean, I do believe that my anime blog is pretty much similar everyone else’s; lots of love poured into them!

HOWEVER.

The one thing about my blog in which I’d never let go of the throttle for, was the use of memes and anything else meme-worthy.

Today I bring you an extra. Courtesy of Loliconics!

I just don’t know what to laugh at; Sagiri? The poor man or his broken broom?

 

I would like to thank Auri-san for handing over such a unique award to me. I will have to agree with her that right now, it is the Awards Season and man, this is getting heavy all of a sudden!

The Rules

1. Share the link of the blogger who has shown love to you by nominating you.
2. Answer the questions.
3. In the spirit of sharing love and solidarity with our blogging family, nominate 8-13 people for the same award.
4. Ask them 3 questions.

アｳリさんが三つの質問だ / Auri-san has three questions!

 

* I don’t like flowers. Do you? Daisies or Daffodils?

I do like flowers but I do not like whatever else that comes with them!
Yes. I’m talking about bees in most cases.

I will do an off-the-track answer first; the flowers I would love to have the most are lilies!
Now, if I have to really choose between those two from your question, Auri-san, I’d hands down go for Daisies.

I will go for Kyoukai no Kanata‘s ending theme song of the same name, also.

** You’re in a bus listening to music (also holding that bouquet of flowers aforementioned)  when someone pulls out a knife and begins to threaten the person in front of you. What do you do?

Do you know that the lily flower’s message is to take a regal stance and embrace your own power? Remember that renewal is just around the corner and that the end of one thing heralds the beginning of another.
To put my answer into context… actually I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about.

Let me imagine the scenario now…
I’m in a bus… I’m most likely going to be listening to this, even if I’m holding onto a bouquet of lilies.

 

So when the threat happens, what would I do?
I hope you have read from somewhere that I am HEAVY on DIY (Do It Yourself). I’ll embrace the ninja kickassery from this song and sort out the ordeal myself.

Of course, it will go down ugly. If violence is involved then it can never end pretty, that’s for sure.

 

*** After the deal with the knife dude settles down, the bus breaks down. (God, this bus sucks) In the middle of nowhere. Do you have the things you need to survive in your backpack?

As much as I would like to boast about my cool self, if this really happens then it will most likely be the other way around of ‘cool’. I have never cared about packing anything more than a few hours worth of essentials into my bag, it’s always just a jacket and a bottle of water, sunscreen in summer and petroleum gel in winter. No food whatsoever.

Seriously, if by God’s will to have me in hell for this to really happen at some point in my life, I will pray that I won’t end up in a situation like Suou Amane and her Angelic Howl. (It’s pretty screwed up so you decide whether to read or not…)

My Nominees

 

This is frankly the most difficult part since I have no friends…

1. Raistlin o-kyuu-o-san — I hope you realize that is how Japanese sometimes say 0903 while at the same time I managed to fit in the –san honorific. Praise me, my lord!
2. Yahari Bento!!
3. Plyassan
4. Remy-kun
5. Irinacchi — take that spam!
6. Arria-senpai
7. Panties-kun — Don’t die off just yet. You still have this one to go!
8. Karandi-senpai
9. Alfreo-nii
10. Ayron-san

 

I think this is obvious but I’m basically recommending great blogs over and over again. However, if any of you want to actually tackle my saucy questions then look below!

My Questions

 

1. Which anime show best describes your life?
2. What are your favorite anime shows crossover?
   Or parody series?
   Or both? (screw it)
3. Have you ever started watching an anime show only because you became interested in a certain character?

A few extra important things (see how unique I am right now with an award post)!

 

Irina is really working hard to start her Monthly Girls Nozaki—
…monthly feature post section/category in which new bloggers get to have some lights shining on them. This can literally be you!
She is doing so to promote friendly and positively encouraging people who, more than obvious enough, deserve recognition. If I have to pull out the most realistic example then it would be no other than Irina herself. I still believe in this myth about Canadians being the nicest people on Earth and she is of one. Ah! No wonder!

The proof? Her insanely quick rise in popularity among anime bloggers in WordPress community. Do note that she started her blog five months after me. The moment her follower count surpasses mine, I will be looking at her well-deserving achievement the exact same way I look at the comet Charlotte, a once in a lifetime experience–precisely once every 111 and a half years but I will not live that long (lol).

Will you live that long, though?

 

Currently being the bigger one between the two of us, I clearly have made a bad example of myself as the senpai. Feature posts can easily be written up on the day that I want to post them, but I chose a lazy route to recognizing others’ efforts.

“Posts that I like” section

 

This is not something I encourage you to do if you happen to be a big dog. Supporting others is never a bad move, no matter how small. I love giving and taking the most, actually.

Wait, despite talking down on myself I’m actually doing the supporting job right now. Don’t mind me and read on!

If this has garnered your interest in any way…

 

I know that I have readers who really frequent this blog of mine, the stats say that much!
If you really love reading whatever nonsense I have to say about anime or anything else unrelated, I do think that maybe you also have your own voice, or in this case the hands to type.

We anime bloggers in WordPress are no biting dogs; we are mostly human beings that can always rave about anime the same way you do.
To my biggest surprise, unlike many places where large amount of people gather up to comment on anime works, WordPress happens to hold some of the most positive vibe communities I have ever witnessed in my entire life. That alone is enough to keep me pumping out blog posts.
Sometimes and frankly it is rare but you do get disagreements which is absolutely normal. It is bound to happen eventually and the sooner, the better. Still surprising me today, is how nobody outright degrades you for your opinion. Most of us know where we stand so…

If we don’t have anything nice to say then we say nothing (to that person’s opinionated post) at all.

Pro Tip: Save the rants for your blog, and only your own blog!

 

The first step can be overwhelming, but the lack of exposure is probably the best weapon you will ever have when it comes to combating mistakes. Anonymity is your friend when you are still learning the ropes. To top it all off, there is absolutely nothing to lose since everything is free!
Though I’m such a pig for using just over half of the allotted media storage after nine months of blogging. I wonder how others keep up with theirs…

That’s right. I’m always wondering; this is my blog of wonders.

Shall you be over with the initial phase and become filled with aspiration, you can seriously just create a blog and use my theme to begin. Don’t worry about being ‘unique’ (haha and I’m telling you this in The Unique Blogger Award post) since free users have limited amount of themes they can choose from. True uniqueness will naturally appear as you put more work into your blog.

Feeling inspired now? Get started soon!

Okay, once again I have outdone myself big time. I initially intended to just do the award ‘thing’ and get it over with. I just happened to stumble upon Irina’s very post while having a shower (yes, I do take my phone into the shower with me).

It was at this moment Shoka knew he f***ed up.

 

As always, thanks for reading!
