Blog Post #404

The number was purely a coincidence. While I’m writing this several days before it will be published, if I counted correctly, it will be post #404 on the blog. So that’s pretty neat.

Anyways, I feel like with the last few seasons, jumping into episodic posts, and writing posts for Ecchi Hunter, I’ve fallen into a pattern where I feel like I’m missing that personal touch I once had on the blog. It’s also been quite some time since my last true blog post, so I figured may as well get two birds here and write one!

Celebrating the Sunshine Blogger Award!

While it certainly has been a while since the Umai Yomu Anime Blog last received an award, this is certainly not the first time. As you know, this is a critically acclaimed blog – providing all of the best and correct takes on everything anime. Otherwise known as the best blog ever (although I guess some other blogs come close).

The real surprise here is how this blog hasn’t received MORE awards than it already has. Quite the mystery, don’t you think?

The Anime A to Z Awards!

Welcome, one and all, to the Anime A to Z awards!
(Sponsored by EcchiHunter.com – all of your favourite ecchi content, in one place!)

Highlighting many of the titles this challenge had to offer, from unexpected and hidden gems to unique and interesting, being forced to select anime based on the alphabet has allowed for the discovery of many anime I normally would not have watched.

And what better way to commemorate some of these anime but with awards?
In addition to the awards I’ve already given them, of course.

I will be handing out 10 awards across multiple categories, as well as nominating anime for these categories. Yes, this awards post is stacked, and yes, it’s rigged as I am both nominating anime and choosing the winners. I prefer to use the word “guided”, as I guide the awards to the appropriate anime.

Here we go!

Winners get to take home this lovely watermelon!

Rewatch Heaven

You know, lately I feel like I’ve been in anime heaven with all of these rewatches!

So far I’ve hit 6 of the 9 anime on the rewatch list!

There’s Vandread, Haruhi, Date A Live, Clannad, Seitokai no Ichizon, and Ikkitousen.

In addition, there’s also Sekirei, Love Hina, and No Game No Life which I’m also rewatching and posting over on Ecchi Hunter.

Crazy right?

I Tried Out The “New” WordPress Block Editor; Some Thoughts

As the title suggests, I recently tried out the WordPress block editor, otherwise known as Gutenberg. While I know it’s been around for a while now, I figured I may as well write about my experiences with it, as I have since reverted back to the classic editor.

There are aspects that I liked and aspects I disliked about the block editor. If you haven’t tried it out yet, then maybe these points can help inform your decision.
