Alright, so just like my last call for questions, with my Q&A post, it seems we’ve got another huge list of questions to get through. Thanks to all of you for submitting these questions, it means so much for me.
I just searched “anime questions” on Google and used this post, thanks for the questions.
With another year done and over with, I figure I may as well write one of these blog posts.
Been a while since I’ve done one of these.
I’m in a writey mood, but don’t have any anime to review at the moment, and don’t feel like watching anything.
So I figured I’d revive this little game.
I’ve probably mentioned it before, but in case you didn’t know, I don’t generally give much attention to openings. I know there are all sorts, and some are really good, but sometimes I just don’t want to spend the time focusing on them, you know?
But as I said, some are really great.
Which is why I’ll cover some of my favourites here!
You know, it’s been a while since I’ve read some of my fan mail.
It’s just been piling up. I really do feel guilty about not responding.
I’ve actually just been tossing them after 30 days.
But now, it’s time I gave some of my fans some attention.
I’m sure the only reason you’re writing in is for a shot at being featured on the blog in the first place!!
It’s tough being popular, but we’ll get through this, together!
As you all know, I recently put out a call for questions to celebrate the Umai Yomu Anime Blog’s existence. And you delivered, more than I could have imagined!
So thank you to all of you for such great questions, giving me something to write about here in a post. I hope you all enjoy my answers to your awesome questions! 🙂
Here’s another trend I’ve observed lately: putting people into boxes.
Not literally, of course.
Instead, what I’m referring to is applying labels to people that remove any and all nuance, lumping people together sometimes based on a single detail.
It feels like it’s time for another post on the “new” WordPress post editor: Gutenberg.
I’ve written about Gutenberg several times before (first this, then this). At first, I forced myself to try it due to the various benefits that had been told to me by Lynn “The Early Adopter” Sheridan, AKA The Otaku Author. I flip-flopped back and forth between it and the Classic Editor, ruining many posts (don’t convert from the block editor to classic, it ruins your post and you’ll have to fix so many things), and then eventually gave in again and went back to Gutenberg.
It’s been a hotbed of criticism from other bloggers, but I feel like maybe some other bloggers haven’t taken the time to learn how to really make use of the block editor’s features when it comes to constructing a post. And so, I’ll go over how I use the editor to make posts in what I consider to be a very easy and convenient way.
All right, I admit, I’ve read one too many posts complaining about gatekeeping in anime. And so instead of leaving a comment that could be construed as disrespectful or whatever, I decided to publish my thoughts on the topic here on my own blog.
If any of you have written about gatekeeping before, either via blog post or Twitter, please understand that this isn’t a personal response to any of you individually. This is more of a situation where I’ve been reading the same complaints for several years now and have formed my own opinion on the ordeal.
All right, I’ve been dragging my feet a bit in regards to writing this post. It’s actually been a little over a month now, as the cultural festival I attended at one of my schools was actually in late September.
But I did say I’d write about it, so here we go.
