I still wasn’t around during those ‘good old days’ when the ‘sphere was tightly knit (thanks to blogsuki (in a lot of ways)) to witness the Legend of the lolikit, but my co-blogger absolute0 and fellow blogger/officemate cuteproxy remembers you, up until this day and age.

This epic story of Jason Miao’s trainwreck shall become oral tradition one day. Of this I am certain.

Every once in a while something happens that reminds me that I've technically been aniblogging longer than 99% of the scene. This qualifies. I'm not sure how I feel about that. If I had been "in the loop," would I have been Jason Miao? Also, four more years.

Mmm yeah that was back a long ways, around when I was starting (again, on my long-forsaken LJ), back when Miao ruled the world (seas would rise when he gave the word). I obviously drew shittons of inspiration from Lovely Kitsune (stylistically… and otherwise. LK=>LK). I think he stopped caring at some point. He blocked me on AIM years ago because I admired him too much, or something. Guess it creeped him out.

Oh, that? I did the same thing! I e-mailed him too with that same worry, and he replied that actually it was me and my stupid Q&A About page (which was similar to his) that triggered his doubts about me "copying his style". He said he had problems with another blogger blatantly doing similar blogging gimmicks as his, and so he also had doubts with my content. That's how he got ticked off I think. The blogging world was still small back then and so these stuff happens I guess. Some of my posts then may have similar style to his, but rather than copying, I may say that I drew inspiration from him. Well in general terms, I was inspired by all anime bloggers before me anyway.

You influenced me more than you know, bluemist. Back when Lovely Kitsune still blogged, he wrote a vitriolic post about how some idiotic anime blogger had him in his “blogroll” (he seemed angered by the very concept of a “blogroll”). When I e-mailed him, worried that it was I who had invited his ire (I had a link to him on DotQ at the time; this was before notdotq existed), he reassured me that it was not I and provided me with a link to your blog.

Then I read through your archives, and wondered why LK was so angry. You seemed chill enough.

I’d say you influenced my anime viewing a bit (Aria particularly), so kudos to you. More years to come.

@Hinano: I barely read twitter anymore, but I still post a bunch to it I think... not much anime stuff, though.

I still use twitter cause I need to rage about my work and pangya somewhere…
