Performing orchestrals with a rock-and-roll band: JAN-JAAAAAN!
Otaku blogging caters to a big audience. Bloggers have to “categorize” themselves according to what they like to write, and this generates an ample amount of audience. Some prefer blogging at intervals, providing first-hand montages and commentaries. Some start writing editorial articles after finishing relevant media. Some prefer to blog about collectibles like gunpla, figures, and the like. Some probe deep to study and question the foundations of otakudom, leaving a trail of debates and discussion in their wake. Some form teams that continously generate content for the blog, keeping it from losing activity. Some even create blogs for the purpose of scanlating or fansubbing material.
But rarely can you find someone who puts everything into a single blog. And I mean EVERYTHING.

This is probably what I was doing while this whole thing was brewing.
With the blogosphere slowly succumbing to the powers of bullet hell, I can say that the hijack is going smoothly as planned. That was one thing I was worrying. The other thing, we’ll talk about, heart to heart to heart, you, me, and Touhou.
