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!

Quote by shoujoboyGood points and certainly noted. I would also like to add I saw your comment on my Code Geass review and I feel quite pwned. Based on your comments I feel like I would be just as easily entertained by a cup and ball...

LOL. . . I didn't mean it that way at all! Code Geass is a well-made series, and it has to have gotten something right to have gotten so many accolades. For whatever reason, it simply didn't tickle my fancy (I must have fulfilled my quota of mecha anime already). That said, your review was excellent, as always. I just felt that I needed to put down my own two cents somewhere after finally watching episodes 24 and 25, and given that I did not feel up to writing a full review, I decided to leave some remarks on a review that not only was already written, but one that is much more thorough than anything I might have been able to toss together.

I figured as much. Maybe I was just thrown aback by a comment of that calibur as opposed to the usual dribble that graces that comments section. But when I see a comment like that I almost think to myself "wow what did I see and what didn't he see"? That type of thing. Admitedly I'm still laughing a bit now while I play with my cup... can't find the ball though.

Quote by shinsengumiI have to say that you have a very quirky -- and therefore amusing -- method of reviewing series. If nothing else, it makes your reviews enjoyable to read.

Quote: In conclusion for this section, I believe that that averages out to 9.5. All of you who have read any of my past reviews know I like to give the benefit of the doubt and round up when it's above a .5 decimal. Victory music, if you please. After this, it receives a 10.

Giving a series the benefit of the doubt is all well and good, but given that a score of 10 is supposed to indicate an effort that represents the pinnacle of human achievement, I don't really think rounding up to a perfect score is appropriate, but that's just my two cents.

Well, that's just my style.

Thank you for reading and replying to my review.

Quote: Minitokyo is an international community. As such, Minitokyo uses English as its official language of communication in all public areas of the community. As a member, you must use English in these areas, which include the galleries, the forums, and the reviews. You may use a different language in private communications, such as personal messages to other members, or communication within groups.

Hallo there! Thank you for telling me that, I think I couldn't read well that part (I have to reinforce my English... )
So can I use dutch in my private messages, and the moderator can not read those messages? It's only a question I have, I don't know for I haven't read that on Minitokyo's policy.

Quote: Title. . . remember me?

I sure do...because of your smile. I`m looking at an old message of mine that I have write in on your guestbook some time ago o.O and can`t understand too much
things have changed a little for me as well.. irrelevant : I adopted a new look
lately I see that the new generations of member are quite young and most of them are craving for attention (MT like a playground I am just kidding)
personally I don`t have anything against this kind of behavior but I just noticed a message of yours that is a little harsh
I always " liked you" for your honest opinions so yah each have our own personality
^_^' I`ved bored you enough just wanted to brighten up a little your page with my new reddish avatar and signature picture

one thins that you will decide to visit my page from curiosity I guess o.O ... don`t be scared by the song
it is one of my favorites

best wishes from Diana

yeah, i'm not so active around here, though. i missed mt, but, i guess, like most people say it, i've outgrown it.

anyways. is mt doing well? i rarely see anyone i know. hehe.

hey.

how are you?

i'm back from a two-year hiatus, and i find that you've retired.

haaaaaaaaaaaay.

and charaznableamurorei hasn't been in sight either...

i hope i could hear from you.

Hey shin,

You can go ahead and take down your wiki. I saved a copy of the draft policy on my computer. Thanks for having that up!

Hey there !

Thanks for your message in my GB, and I believe you're right about first-hand news being more insightful than paper news. That's why I like your blog .
By the way, since you are a french-speaker (maybe not fluent, but still), if you're interested in a satyrical newspaper, I'll redirect you here http://www.lecanardenchaine.fr/ . That's my favorite paper, if you feel interested, I think you can actually buy it overseas (here, the wiki link as well : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Canard_Encha%C3%AEn%C3%A9 ).

Anyway, take care and have fun

Quote by shinsengumiAyumi-Fan was indeed one of the groups created by Celessa, and she asked me if I would assist her in running it. I left it ages ago, however; I've been administrator of some two dozen groups at various points during my time on Minitokyo, mostly to help out with initial coding and planning back in the first few months after Minitokyo v3 was released.

If you're waiting for Celessa to return sometime, I would advise you not to hold your breath. Both of us have left Minitokyo; I stop by from time to time just to check messages, but the time when the community was vibrant enough to pique our interests and spark our dedication is long gone.

Good luck, and have fun!

Oh....I see....thanks very much~

It's actually so sad to see her left MiniTokyo. I am myself unsure if I would be leaving too as I'm an active member all along. It's now hard to imagine what would I be doing if not in MiniTokyo. (example: Will I still be here once I'm married?)
By the way, if you don't mind, may I ask: What are the privileges of a Retired Moderator?

Hey there! I remember you from MT version 2! Gosh you were one tough mod back then, lol. Pity to see you retire ah well...

hi shinsengumi were you once a staff in this http://ayumi-fan.minitokyo.net/ ? now that i'm appointed as administrator there by request to revive that group, may i know where is the founder celessa already? she looks inactive for quite a long while......

Quote by shinsengumiFlyin,

Thanks a bunch for the note on my blog; I certainly hope that I'll get one of the jobs I'm applying for in DC, so if all goes as planned, who knows, I might have to take you up on your offer. Anyhow, take care, hope all is well!

shinsengumi ^_^

Yupp... I can show you where the Asian supermarkets are It's hard moving to a new city and it always helps to have people you (sort of) know around... haha. So yeah keep me posted if you end up moving here and need help with anything :3

Quote by shinsengumiMisa,

Bet you weren't expecting me to appear and leave a post in your guestbook ^_^

As can be expected, things have been pretty hectic with me, and as a result I've almost completely forsaken MT (and in fact, it's hard to believe that I once spent so much time each day on MT doing the whole moderator dance). Hope all is well both IRL (you're in university now, aren't you?) and here as well, with your own moderating, the UA group, and your top-notch wallpapering (I sincerely hope you haven't dropped that entirely). Anyhow, take care, and keep up the good work!

Squee! It's shinsengumi <3

I'm very happy to hear from you ^_^ It was indeed unexpected
I hope that life is all well for you and a happy belated (but late :P) happy new year
Yep, I'm in 2nd year University already... *chuckles* time flies :3
Thanks so much for all your kind words I'll try my best in all those you mentioned and juggle my time around (and I still wall every now and then once in a rare blue moon )
Hope that all's well for you ^^

I guess we won't be able to hang out next week. But in any case, good luck with your interview! If you get a job here it would be awesome.

Heh heh... Sorry for spamming your notifications! I bet that between Marissa & I you stand no chance

If only real life didn't stand between me & making more scans. I have so much to scan. To wet your taste buds, I've got some Bleach, Range Murata, Ugestu Hakua, Yubinbasya (I love the art, but for some reason it just takes forever to scan that book), Future Studio St Seiya stuff, various Saiyuki & Bus Gamer stuff, not to mention tones of little bits & pieces I keep finding like Okama & CLAMP...

There's just not enough hours in the day

hey just stoping by to say hi!
laterz!

I'm in your guestbook, saying hi and Happy New Year.

Hello there shin-sama ^_^

Dropping by to wish you a merry Christmas, hope you have some fun with the geeks (lol), and get a lot of love from everyone.
I'm still a steady reader of your blog, so i'll wish you a nice new start in life, and hoping you'll manage everything from now on (though i think managing this far means there's nothing to fear ahead !).

Take care, and enjoy your last Christmas as a student
