IIRC, you commented on my blog once and I ended up adding you to my feedreader. Seems to be a habit of mine now.
Likewise, I don't really know my audience. I just write stuff I feel others might care about, even in the slightest, and then people read it. I haven't even bothered with looking at the statistics, though a decent number seem to come for the scant articles I have on games and either one of the two incomplete guides I have on some doujin games.
Which reminds me, I need to get to finishing them.

Heh. Got here through the MSLN Strikers comics. Which are by the way quite hysterical.

Your posts though are pretty interesting. They usually have a good amount of though behind them and actually get me to think. It is probably okay to embrace deep geek every so often and if someone doesn't understand they can look it up. What you are doing now is probably just fine.

LOVE THE STRIKERS COMICS

I can't even remember how I ended up here (probably from a blogroll somewhere or the other), but I've been following it ever since simply because I find your posts to be interesting to read. Interesting can mean funny, or thought provoking, or anything in between – all that matters is that people will read whatever they find interesting. It's a difficult decision, thinking about specifically who your target audience is, but I personally think the best option is simply to write; there's bound to be someone, most likely more than just one person, out there that's willing to read your honest opinion.

I came on here originally to look at the Cardcaptor Sakura Episode summaries, because it was the only anime series that I'd ever seen and it really interested me. I've read them all now, but now I also read your other blog entries, seeing as I'd like to start embracing more animes and I'm looking for ideas ^^ That, and all the wandering tangents in your blog make it enjoyable to read! So I'll keep checking up regularly, that's a given =P

I like your meandering style because it speaks of you and what you think of rather than what you think others might think of. I enjoy your blog so far. So, keep doing what you're doing. :-)

I think I started reading from a link from your Livejournal, which I believe was linked from your CoH forum account. I've enjoyed your style of writing as well as most of the subjects (we seem to have a lot of interests in common - I just don't write much). Reading your journal is what got me curious about Nanoha, and it also introduced me to TVTropes. As for explaining things too much, I'm reminded of something the creators of MST3K said at some point - it was to the effect of, "we never ask 'who's going to get this [joke/reference]?' - we always say, 'the right people will get this." If nothing else, if someone is reading this, they can always google any words they don't know (which, coincidentally, I had to do myself for schadenfreude just a couple years ago). At least, that works for text; purely visual references can be a bit trickier, but you still probably shouldn't be overly concerned. If someone really wants to know, they can always ask. Oh, and Amazon says Nanoha season 1 R1 is out on 11/11.

What your anime blog is about?

I figured it was about anime. ^_^
You don't have to change anything for our sake, although if you want to embrace your deep geek, don't hesitate on my behalf. I'll stick around.

I first started reading when I got a link about the comics, and then I bookmarked and started checking your blog weekly, reading all your posts. I don't know why, but you always provoke some kind of thought.

I started blogging because I wanted people to hear what I have to say. Now my problem is getting out how I feel in a way that makes sense to everyone else reading, especially when I start worrying about if I'm getting things across the right way. Then I take a step back, breathe, and blog what I feel. :P

Hey, any excuse to make more of your MSLN comics is a good one.
