Speaking out Against Anti-Asian Hate and The Problem of Fetishizing a Culture

March 21, 2021 by chikorita157 Leave a Comment

In last week’s monthly digest post, I shared my thoughts on the disturbing rise of Anti-Asian hate. Since I review Japanese media, I think it’s important to make people aware of this. It’s not too surprising since only a very few focused on it in the anime blogging community. Given recent events, I think it’s a good idea to make everyone aware of this so we can fight against hate.

What Is on My Mind – March 2021 – Anime Blogging Frustrations, and Feeling of Isolation, Fighting Anti-Asian Racism, Poor Animator Pay and More

February 25, 2021 by chikorita157 5 Comments

With February coming to an end, it’s time to share my thoughts on posts that I found interesting during the past month.

Also, I want to address my anime blogging frustrations as I am becoming increasingly upset. This is mostly due to the lack of comments, people not following directions of not to like posts on WordPress Reader, but instead leave a comment, promoting my content on social media, or linking it back. I’m just really frustrated after 5 years of my blog stagnating and not growing at all. While I have touched on some of this in my anniversary post, but I want to share my overall thoughts.

Behind the Scenes – The Tools I Use to Blog About Anime (2020 Edition) – Updated

November 24, 2020 by chikorita157 2 Comments

As mentioned, several times, I finally resolved my job woes and finally moved to a new place earlier this year. As expected, things have changed a bit since I shared my last behind the scenes post. With that, it’s time to share an updated version including my overall setup since mostly everyone is stuck at home. This should give some insights to new inspiring bloggers.

Note that I won’t go too much in detail with the hosting aspect, since everything is the same. If you are curious about that, read my first behind the scenes post.
