Cirno is a Genius

I’m “branching out” a lot lately. I’m helping a bunch of people behind the scenes and starting to take up more things now that I have the time. Good things will come for those who wait, but some of the current fruits of my labor can be seen now!

And they are also good things!

First off, I am now a regular writer for Anime Diet. I’m still in my testing phase but plan to be a major contributor. This will not affect this blog whatsoever, as what I write there will be almost solely commentary. I’ll still write a bit of that here, but this site will mostly be updates and other personal ramblings. I had been looking for a way to start doing more in-depth fandom content with a bit more of a wider audience, and they had just advertised that they were looking for writers. Bam.

On a side note, when I was thinking about making my own separate review blog I purchased itsmyrevolution.com. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it yet. It may become a future blog or part of another project someday. I have a habit of grabbing amazing untaken domain names and selling them, so it may go that way too. It’s a Chokotto Sister reference, for those who don’t get it.

Next on the list is that I’m narrowing down a name for my circle. I plan to be producing high-quality projects in the next few years and hope to have other members eventually join. The real goal here is to hopefully make it a subsidiary of my main studio. If I eventually come to the point where my fan work and original doujin projects have to potential to be my full time job or support a potential original industry project, I’ll just fold them all together to improve my chances. If not, I can keep them separate and continue as I have. I keep my hobbies from my professional life separate for a reason, and up until a year ago I would have never even dreamed of doing fan projects again. But lately I’ve started to shift and split my focus. I’m starting to meet with all the right people, I’m starting to focus my life better, if not broader. I’m not a moron, though. I’m not trying to work IN the industry here, I plan to work with it. I have too many years of Japanese lessons to go before any of that could possibly not happen.

So hopefully all of you are part of the ground roots of something big. Either a big load of fun, or something that goes beyond being in the fandom to being part of it in a big way. Only time will tell.

Either way, I’m enjoying things as they are.

The next few weeks are going to be full of ups and downs. I still need to finish my post from the last trip to Tokyo and start posting music reviews. I have a certain order that I want to do them, that’s why it’s taken me so long to post one. I’m not sure what video or music project I’m going to tackle next, but it seems that every time I start to work on a Vocaloid project something comes up and I need the Mac side of my computers. I had already started another Fensler GI JOE parody, but I’d rather not work on it until I get another kind of video done. I guess we’ll see!
