The Daily Dose

  • If you've been wondering why I haven't written one of these posts in about three weeks, it's because I've been in the middle of a move and haven't had much time to do anything extra over the shows I'm blogging regularly. Things haven't quite settled down yet, so my schedule's still in a bit of a flux, but I didn't want to put this off any further since there's so many new series announcements, PVs, etc piling up. Unfortunately all this also means that I won't have time to continue keeping up with Tetsuwan Birdy like I wanted to, so I had to drop that.
