This editorial is a little different than the previous ones, but it's still anime-related. It's like this: I was sitting watching TV a few days ago, and suddenly a vision of a now-defunct Sailor Moon site that I used to frequent popped into my head. That lead to thoughts of the days when Outlaw Star still came on and the series wasn't over yet, and that lead to tears welling up in my eyes. I realized then that I had really immersed myself in the technology and business of building an anime-dedicated website, and lost sight of the comforting and "at home" feelings I always get from anime, either when watching it or visiting websites. So, I have decided that I am going to make somewhat of a "pilgrimage" to ensure that I dont lose site of anime's heart and soul. I plan to do something I should have done a looooong time ago--Watch Akira. After that, I will begin to look for more anime sites on the web, to surround myself with it for a short period of time. I believe that will help me to once again achieve the "pure otaku" state that I had for so long. How will you, the viewers, benefeit from all this? New links on the site, even more passionate editorials, new anime reviews and, hopefully, more animes featured on the site. Thats what I feel I need to tell you all, and this is how I thought I should tell it.
