#5-Cosplay Shout
Outs
Cosplay is a very strong part of the Anime
community. Through the hard work of gifted
nerds, various fan favorites can be brought to life with their own unique
spins. In the past I have done a couple
of cosplayer shoutouts but ive never done like a Top 5 or so often cause…well I
mostly know female cosplayers and just saying “Theyre hot” feels shallow and
wrong. If I wanted to do proper tributes
id go a bit more in depth as to why theyre so good at what they do. Maybe ill make this a once or twice a month
feature depending on when I start it.
#4-Writing More in
Advance
Currently, im working two jobs, one during the day and
the other at night. That means finding
time to watch Anime and review it is becoming more and more scarce. Often times ill come home from my night job
and stay up an hour or so just to work on stuff for me and, sometimes, that
includes working on blog content. Back
in late October 2017, I ended up watching all of Full Metal Panic: The Second
Raid in a single day and took time after each disc to write my reviews. It freed up more time for me, knowing all of
my reviews for a single month were written and good to go. I actually, more or
less, did the same thing for Gundam Wing last summer and I want to try and do
more of that this year. The more stuff I
have written out ahead of time, the more assurance I have it’ll get posted on
time and itll mean ill have more chances to work on other projects related to
the Anime Corner.
#3-Videos
Ive never thought about doing Video Reviews before. That requires a lot of editing, voicework,
clip research, tons of stuff. And given
how I kind of stopped doing AMV Fridays way back when here on the Anime Corner
because I thought I got flagged for copyright issues, it’s never really dawned
on me to do anything else in that field.
Still, looking back on a couple of promo videos I made for upcoming
reviews, as well as video tours of the places ive attended for conventions, it
might not be a bad time to revisit these ideas.
Video Reviews, those ill have to still think on. The convention tours and maybe a few videos
from panels, photoshoots, dance offs and more, that might be a bit more doable.
#2-Convention
Reports
I know ive done Top 5’s on these over the years and ill
continue to do them in the future.
However, I am sitting on a few years worth of more detailed reports ive
written to cover my time at multiple Otakon and Katsucon Conventions. Perhaps its time to let them see the light of
day. They’d require a little bit of
editing but I think it would be fun to share more of my experiences with
everyone. These could very well take the
place of First Impression Fridays until I decide to bring those back. Just as well, as Katsu approaches and Otakon
is, for the moment, in the cards for August, maybe ill start sharing them
closer to their next events. We’ll see
#1-Back to Basics
2017 sucked on many life levels. Many times, I found that affected my writing
here at the Anime Corner. I could feel I
just wasn’t having fun anymore working on certain reviews. Full Metal Panic Season 1 was a definite
victim of this as I could feel little joy starting a project that would last me
most of the year. Well 2018 is where I
try to find that spark again and apply to every show and movie I review. Plus, I have found that ranting about a bad
show like Silent Mobius can be kind of liberating too. Does this mean seeking out more classic
titles? Going after titles that I know
have a rep for being terrible? Im not
sure but I need to reignite my Anime and Film Reviewer passions big time this
year. After all, this is supposed to be
for fun right, not a job.
