		<description>Good post and happy new year, Eternal!

Definitely the quality of the anime you&#039;re watching is more important than the number of series that you go through. I personally used to follow a lot of series at once, but now I usually just pick up one or two per season. Maybe it&#039;s because I&#039;m too lazy to keep up with it. Anime watching to me is a relaxing time (it&#039;s a guilty pleasure for me to cheer my favorite girl on in eroge adaptations even if it&#039;s blatantly obvious she won&#039;t win). However, I do agree that it is a pleasure to watch shows that have great character development, relationships, etc. Once you are able to step outside of the comfort zone of your favourite genre and learn to appreciate all aspects of an anime, that&#039;s when you know you&#039;ve grown as an anime fan.

I think I&#039;m getting there, but there&#039;s still many other things I&#039;m doing too, whether it be anime, manga, games, etc. Blogging definitely helps you think it through.

		<description>You guys make me blush and cry *sniff* I&#039;m just glad both of us learned (and still learning) a lot from this endeavor. It&#039;s totally rewarding having discovered what makes blogging and participating in the &#039;sphere worth all the time and effort, something that goes beyond the four corners of the blog, beyond hits or whatever means other people have for measuring the &#039;worth&#039; of what they do. All the best in what you do, this is a great way to start the New Year!!

		<description>Happy New Year mate. 
We can learn a lot more of each other than through comments. Comments are just the first steps in reaching out to them and letting them know ur around. ^^
