Hey, I'm back again, and with the new anime sections I promised ^^ There's two so far…not sure if I'll get around to adding anymore before my vacation is over (it's going by so fast! 0_o) but we'll see. Well, enjoy the new sections for now and hopefully I'll have another update again soon.

Hey, I'm back! Not only with some updates finally, but also with some good news. For those of you who've been keeping up with the blog, you know that I've been really busy recently moving into a new apartment for my first semester at a university. But now that everything is settled, and classes don't actually start until late September, I'm gonna have lots of free time until then to work on the site ^^

Well, you can see today's updates below, but the other good news is that I'm finally, FINALLY planning to add new anime sections! LOL, the last one I added was the Zatch Bell section way back in April of last year. Since then, I've watched a ton of new anime, many of which I would've liked to add sections for but never had the time. Now I finally do have the time so hopefully you'll be seeing signs of the new sections within the next week ^_^ Not gonna say which ones yet so you'll just have to wait and see. Anyway, keep checking Mainichi Anime Yume for posts and also announcements of when the new anime sections are up. See you all soon! =D

Updated/New sections

Bleach Mp3s - 1 new mp3 of the latest opening song, "ALONES". So many people have been asking for this one! XD

Naruto Mp3s - 1 new mp3 of the latest ending song, "Michi - to you all"

Pokemon Mp3s - 1 new mp3 of the movie 10 ending song, "I'll Be With You"

- I decided to start archiving some of the blog posts from Mainichi Anime Yume into their related anime sections. For example, any Bleach-related posts can now be found in the Bleach anime section here on the main site. So far 8 of the anime sections have the Blog Posts feature added to them: the Bleach, Cardcaptor Sakura, Digimon, Inuyasha, Naruto, Once Piece, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh! sections. If I write any other blog posts related to any of the other anime sections, I'll be sure to add Blog Posts pages to them as well. I'll also try to keep all the Blog Posts pages updated as often as I can when I write new posts.

- and in addition to the above, I went through just about every page on AnimeYume today, updating information, fixing links and spelling errors, etc,. There's still a lot to be done but I hopefully I'll get to everything eventually =P

07/05/07

My coverage and photos/videos of Anime Expo 2007 are up! ^_^ Enjoy! Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I'll be able to do anymore updates during my summer break. I'm still working, my 5 week summer cram session is starting soon, and I also might start to move in early to my university dorm room. There's still a chance but I can't say for sure. I'll still continue to do posts on the blog though those might start to thin out soon too ~_^

Updated/New sections

Anime Expo 2007 - my detailed coverage, photos, and video clips of my four-day stay at AX '07!

05/23/07

I finally got the results of the General Anime Preference Survey '07 posted. Like last time, it turned out rather interesting ^^ Anyway, I should be able to have at least one good update here on the main site during my summer break which starts in June (like my Anime Expo '07 coverage ^^) so check back then.

General Anime Preference Survey '07 Results - the results of this survey are in!

05/15/07

Hey, didn't expect to be back so soon ^_^ As I mentioned last update, I have some new media files that needed to be posted so I figured I'd get that done today during my one day off ^^,,, As for the survey, I've gotten about 200 responses so far but I don't have time to post the results today. I should have them posted next update…whenever that will be =P With finals coming up, I can't say for sure but it shouldn't be too long.

Updated/New sections

Bleach Media - 1 new video of the latest opening (6), "ALONES." Also, a new mp3 of the latest ending (11) "Tsumasaki"

Naruto Mp3s - 2 new mp3s of the Naruto Shippuuden opening "Hero's Comeback!!" and the ending "Nagareboshi~Shooting Star~"

One Piece Mp3s - 1 new mp3 of the 7th One Piece opening "Crazy Rainbow"

Hi! It's been a while ^^ Sorry, as usual I've been really busy. Not just with school and work, but I've also been preparing for when I go away to university this fall. I haven't even had time to do much work on the blog site either. But once summer comes around, I should have some much-needed time off =)

Anyway, like I mentioned last update, I've got a new survey today ^_^ Yeah, that's all for now. I have some new mp3s to add, but those will have to wait until next time.

BTW, for those of you who haven't noticed, YouTube suspended my account a few days ago! >_< So sorry to those of you who enjoyed my videos. I don't really mind that much since I already have so many anime opening videos here on the site, but it's still annoying. Well, if I ever have the time, I'll try and start another video sharing account.

Updated/New sections

General Anime Preference Survey '07- new survey! It's been a while since I had one of those ^^ Actually, this is an updated version of the General Anime Preference Survey I made last year. This one's got a lot more questions and also covers newer anime that's been released since then. So enjoy! ^^

03/13/07

Hi, I'm back! I finally found some time to do work here on the main site as opposed to the blog site ^^ Just a few things today, nothing special, but it's better than nothing I guess. I've also been working on a new survey, though I don't know when I'll have time to finish it and get it posted. Shouldn't be too long...

I know many of you are thinking, since lately I've only been doing blog posts and relatively small updates on old sections of the site, I'll probably never add a new anime section or any other major section. I really do regret this…it's been almost a year since I last made a new anime section and there are so many new anime I've watched since then that I'd love to make sections for. Other big sections like the Poke-Dex and Anime Dictionary also need some work. But as I've said many times before, I just don't have the time I used to have what with college, my part-time job, and other things. If there's ever a time in my life when I don't have as many obligations and things to do, I'll make a bunch of new anime sections and pages for the site! But for now, all I can do is posts on Mainichi Anime Yume, and a few little updates now and then here on the main site. Sorry about this, but I'm sure you all understand ^_^ Just remember, I have no intention of closing AnimeYume.com or taking down any of its content!

Updated/New sections

Bleach Mp3s - 1 new mp3 of the latest ending song, "Sakura Biyori"

Naruto Opening/Ending Videos - 1 new video of the opening of Naruto Shippuuden, "Hero's Comeback"

Learn Some Japanese - Part 7 - finally added the last page of the Learn Some Japanese Guide. It's more or less finished...for now ^^,,,

01/15/07

Hi! It's been a while ^_^ Hope you all had a nice Xmas and New Year. I finally had a day off from both work and school assignments today, so what better way to spend it than on long overdue site work =P Anyway, I've got a major media update today. I'm sure most of you are aware that a while ago I converted all the mp3s and video clips on the site to ZIP files to help conserve bandwidth. And it's really been working…so much in fact, that I think I might be able to have both the mp3s and video clips available at the same time! So that's what I'm going to try with this update ^_^ Yup, ALL the media files are now currently available, both mp3s and opening/ending clips, from all the anime sections! Hopefully even with all the media files available at once, I'll still be able to stay within my monthly bandwidth limit. If so, then I won't have to rotate the files anymore. If not, then I'll have to go back to the rotation. Guess I'll just have to wait and see how my bandwidth goes for the next month or so. But for now, enjoy the surplus of mp3s and videos files ^_^ See below for a list of all the new files that have been added.

Oh, and thanks for 700,000+ hits! ^.^

Updated/New sections

- As I mentioned above, currently all the mp3s and all the video clips are available for download. And hopefully, if my bandwidth permits, they'll be able to stay that way and I won't need to do the rotation anymore!

Bleach Opening/Ending Videos - New section! I finally made a page for Bleach opening/ending videos!

Digimon Media - 2 new video clips and 2 new mp3s, both of the latest opening and ending, "Hirai" and "Ryuusei"

Naruto Media - 2 new video clips of the latest opening and ending, and 1 new mp3 of the latest ending, "Scenario"

One Piece Opening/Ending Videos - 2 new videos of the latest openings, 6 and 7

Pokemon Opening/Ending Videos - 2 new videos of the opening and ending to the new Pokemon Diamond & Pearl series

Anime Import Calendar Scans - new scans of the Full Metal Alchemist 2004 calendar

My YouTube channel - I started my own channel on YouTube a while ago. I have a lot of video clips from my trip to Japan posted, and now I've been uploading random anime opening/ending clips. I'll try and upload clips that aren't available on the site on my YouTube channel, so if you're interested, go ahead and subscribe to my channel. I can't really say how often I'll be able to update the channel, but I'll do my best ^^
