Stats

Getting some progress on that weekly graph.

That spike needs some explanation. Guild Wars has one of the most beautifully rendered characters and armor among MMORPGs. Naturally, new armor generates considerable interest in the community (over 11 000 views in one day)

Past

Fallen Angel. My mesmer at the Realm of Torment with wings turned black with a mod I created.

Last month this blog turned two years, let’s briefly look at its history and future directions. I started this blog primarily to show some of the landscape pictures I took in Guild Wars, my first and last MMORPG. I enjoyed playing it because I met many different people from around the word and found a couple of good friends. As time went by, I gradually recovered from an MMORPG addiction and went back to my other interest: Japanese culture and anime.

Present

Reincarnation. My mesmer with “purified” wings.

I watch very few anime and prefer the ones that have a distinctive visual quality (no, that does not mean fanservice ). Instead of writing a summary or detailed rhetorical analysis, usually, I post episodic photoessays with plenty of pictures that I liked or that help depict a part of the story with some brief comments about the episode. I enjoy good stories, but proper analysis of a work requires significant time and effort (still writing that Paprika review ), that is why I limit myself to visual elements.

Future

Ranka in Space. Yes, this does not make much sense at first glance Read the explanation if you want to know more.

I’ll continue coverage of events in Japan and anime, but I’ll try to expand to other areas as well. My future posts will cover interesting science or technology news and helpful programs such as Mnemosyne. Hopefully, these post will be useful for any curious person

Again, thank you everyone for visiting
