Tomorrow is the 18th annivesary of Ogiue Maniax. My little weblog is all grown up now.
I imagine 18 years is meant to be the purpose the place you take a look at your little one and notice that they’re not the identical individual—or fairly, web site—anymore.
If Ogiue Manaix might vote, what would it not resolve? Positive, it’s solely a product of my very own output, however I ponder if it will maintain sure beliefs or approaches to the world which are stronger as a result of they’re housed inside this construction of written posts that proceed to vividly replicate the place I used to be, the place I’m now, and the place I would find yourself sooner or later. I can’t keep in mind my earliest recollections as a new child child, however I can look again and see what I used to be writing about in 2007, even when it is perhaps a bit cringey.
That’s really one thing I’ve wished to be a part of Ogiue Maniax all alongside, although. If I do have beliefs and methods of considering which have shifted over the course of just about twenty years, I wished to have that documented as nicely. I additionally recall all these folks I’ve talked to on-line who talked about that you’ll find yourself hating anime you used to like as a result of your requirements may have modified. I don’t know if the primary half has occurred, although the latter positively has.
Running a blog for 18 years has been much less about status and extra about stubbornness. I don’t need to give it up if I don’t must. It helps maintain my coronary heart in my fandoms, at the same time as I add different issues to it (e.g. VTubers) and my publish price drops additional. I’m nowhere close to sufficient to be thought of a notable veteran fan of anime and manga, particularly as I get a mere fraction of the readership I used to have. Although, I have gotten extra hits recently for some motive. I chalk that as much as not understanding how WordPress (or some other web site) tracks visits anymore.
Is eighteen-year-old Ogiue Maniax now getting into faculty and becoming a member of the Society for the Research of Trendy Visible Tradition? Will I really change this weblog once more in order that its template isn’t caught prior to now? Most likely not, however who is aware of what the subsequent 12 months holds?
