7.23.08: Adding a “similar blog” section at the top. Of course “identical” blogs I haven’t come across, but there are ones that resonate, either in writing style (I’m no expert) or content.
Claiming Ground In Search of Number Nine coffee spoons Scathbad’s Training Super Fanicom
Other blogs I otherwise fervently read or occasion
anime|otaku: Very well read, or maybe too well read. If you like literature, and have a Faulkner fetish, you will gasm all over this blog. This was also the second blog I read, and I owe him for that first comment/pingback on the one piece I probably self-reference the most. He often schools me in philosophy, I having not read the original texts, but attempting to convey my own abstract concepts anyhow. He also schools me when I try and make analogies to biology. I think we have similar thoughts on knowledge and self-development, that is to say, as Pontifus put it: “it comes across as a continual search for knowledge, and I like that.” And yes, I do like that very very much so.
Asperger’s anime blog: A certain newgeekliterarytheoretician (formerly newgeekphilosopher) likes to think about anime a lot.
Baka-Raptor: The goddess of hilarity has smiled upon the dinosaur embodiment of Maddox. Also the #1 expert on lesbianism in the blogosphere. Also the #1 Kurenai hater =p.
Calamitous Intent: Hoshi is the first one to use the adjective form of “lelangir” – “lelangiric”; HENCE THE SUBTITLE OF THE BLOG. [trumpets herald] She is awesome!!!
Claiming Ground: I like Coburn’s blog because, as I’ve seen, it doesn’t gravitate towards ‘bandwagon’ analysis like Kyonko and such – oh but I do love Kyonko [and such]. His topics are refreshing and stimulating, and he likes jazz.
Cruel Angel Thesis: Has comment-deficiency-down syndrome. Also a lack of internet.
Elezend: Loves to comment constructively.
coffee spoons: The woman who coined us the “Kaiba generation,” her introspective pieces are a good way to add identity to the episodic status quo of the faceless internet.
j1m0ne’s blog: A great blog about the life of the seiyuu; borderline fangirl/stalker.
Minimum Tempo: Icystorm is like the Aria to my anime. Firstly, I dig his layout very much. And well besides that, his writing his very lax and chill, and the content of his articles are something you can look forward to when I spam your RSS feed with mountains of pretentious articles.
Ogiue Maniax: Accessible, and with a broad range of topics from those theoretical ones to the politics and economics of anime. His Ogiue fetish is on par with Mike’s Faulkner fetish.
Scathbad’s Training: I think this is a severely under-read blog, judging by the amount of comments it gets. Cuchlann gives credit where I do as well – to the texts we read in school. Without referencing our politics of “epeenery,” I always admire when the milestones of modern academia are brought into the sphere.
Simplicity: For Moe, By Moe.
Super Fanicom: Another member of itsubun’s self-proclaimed “Kaiba generation,” Pontifus is like, a few days my junior. But in any importance, I root behind my peers, especially the [a] vanguard of counter-Owen blogism. Not to say Owen is bad, but a month old blog has as much intellectual agency as a twelve month old one.
tachikomatic days: in your basement:
The Animanachronism: Goes by the names [they are icons in their own right] Animanachronism, IKnight, Leuconoe, Daniel, and perhaps others I’ve yet to hear of. I am obliged to idol [worship] him for being my gateway blog into blogdom, specifically this piece. I also tend to copy everything he does, like the microblog bandwagon, the promiscuous methodology of our blogrolls and the annotated blogroll itself. When it pertains to his writing and thus my ass-kissing, it is witty, satirical, yet, nevertheless, lucid in the conveyed concepts and general ideas. Also a history and Gundam fanatic; two things I am certainly not.
Yukan Blog: How many authors does this blog have? With such a wide range – from the likes of thenewgeekphilospher to DigitalBoy – you’re bound to stumble across something interesting.
