Questions and Complaints [2005.05.01]

Welcome to my little corner of Minitokyo. . . please feel free to leave a personal message in my guestbook! If, however, you have a question or note regarding Minitokyo policy or moderation, please send me a PM, as I will delete or ignore moderation requests or inquiries posted in my guestbook. Thanks!

Edit: When sending me a request or inquiry via PM, if you do not even make an effort to utilize correct spelling or proper grammar in your inquiry or request, do not expect me to take the effort to respond to you.



Retirement [2006.03.11]

As of today, I have retired from the duties of Minitokyo Forum, Review, Policy, and Category Maintenance moderator. Everyone, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of and to serve this wonderful community. While it certainly has flaws, it definitely can still become something great through the combined effort of community and staff. As I noted before, Minitokyo is truly a great place; I am glad to be a part of this community and I am honored to have been a part of its staff.


Thoughts on the Friends List [2005.01.23]

While it's nice to have a long friends list, I feel that friends should be people that you feel a certain kinship to, and therefore I am generally hesitant to add people to my own friends list unless I've had a chance to talk to them and get to know them on the forums or in a group, if someone did me a favor, or if I highly respect them or their work. On the other hand, I understand that others have different criteria for their friends lists and therefore do not mind if others decide to add me to their own lists even if I have not added them to my own. So, to those of you on my friends list, thanks for making my time on Minitokyo as enjoyable as it has been so far, and to those not on the list, I hope that on my time here I'll get a chance to know you all better! [edit 2005.06.28]

I am also the Category Maintenance Moderator and am responsible for adding new categories and updating existing ones with plot synopses, banners, and other information. If you have category maintenance requests or submissions, please let me know by sending me a PM.

Shinsengumi's Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Tv Review

As a whole, Zetsubou is a quirky and nonconformist series where the amalgamation of absurd situations, clever wordplay, witty humor, and quick-fire jokes come collide to create something that manages to be both amusing and addictive, if not particularly deep. At times, dwelling upon a single joke may make things drag a bit, but one can always expect something entirely random to spice things right back up. As noted previously, much of the humor revolves around inside jokes and wordplay, and as such those not particularly familiar with Japanese culture may fail to catch quite a bit of the more subtle or clever humor. Even so there is enough material there that even if viewers miss out on any given joke they're bound to catch another.

Shinsengumi's Nodame Cantabile Tv Review

Amongst anime, there are some series which invoke philosophical rumination and others that play to more visceral tendencies. Nodame Cantabile is neither, and nor does it pretend to be; it is nothing more than a light-hearted romantic comedy that finds the perfect balance of quirkiness, seriousness, and drama to keep one entertained and hooked through the course of twenty-three episodes that is simply enjoyable to watch. (Note: Potential side effects may include an inordinate desire to listen to classical music. Lots of it. End note.)

Bottom line: It's really one of those series that leaves you with a smile at the end.

Shinsengumi's Jigoku Shoujo Tv Review

As mentioned previously, Jigoku Shoujo has a very clever and original premise that it relies heavily upon. Unfortunately, overuse of this single concept makes the series tend towards what is essentially repetition, one of the two major complaints with the series. While this may be intentional, to add an added philosophical or religious aspect to the series, the consistent plot formula (albeit with occasional wrinkles tossed in) and recycled clips do eventually wear away at the great potential of the series. With the gradual inclusion of a unifying storyline, the plot is beginning to pick up and thus this weakness is starting to be alleviated, and therefore it is likely that in the remaining episodes the series will pick up and fully capitalize on its potential.

Hey shin,

I just found out that my review for the Hayate the Combat Butler was removed. I take it that the conversational format for reviewing was the reason why. So, I plan to resubmit it, but this time I will use the same format I did for the other four on my page.

Do get back to me if you can, and keep up the good work, you and the crew. Cheers.

Hey shin! Thanks for reposting your forum guidelines! I was wondering where they went and was at a loss where to cut and paste from when closing threads! ;) Hope that things are going well on your end!

Are you wearing white puffy earmuffs this winter? =D

Hiya Shin-san! *waves*

I hope that you are doing well and that you have a very Merry Christmas and a lovely New Year! :D
