You may or may not have noticed that I’ve completely done away with my Sitemeter account because I just don’t feel like it’s necessary anymore. It’s just a number in my eyes anyway. I do care about readership to a point, but not so much that it’s the only reason for blogging. I don’t live through the success of this blog any longer. Sure, it’s always nice to receive feedback, but it isn’t going to depress me if I don’t get any [feedback, that is ^_^]. Back in the day, I used to blog purely for the sake of receiving comments just to feel an appreciation for…for existing (I was a sad, sad specimen of a human being – or at least that’s how I felt about myself), but I don’t feel that way anymore, thank god. At the end of the day, it’s just a blog. Not a popular blog at that, but I’m writing for myself and my own self-enjoyment. I don’t take it half so seriously anymore. Link, or not to link, doesn’t really matter. I used to get pushed out of shape whenever a fellow blogger decided to drop my site, but it seems rather silly to get so worked up over something so trivial now. There’s a life outside to enjoy…for those of us fortunate enough to enjoy our freedom. Why get so depressed over something that really isn’t that important?
Either I’ve grown up a bit, or I’ve gotten boring. Either way, I still enjoy looking back at some of my older posts and remembering how much fun I had writing that particular entry, and that’s why I write. I am probably just another speck in the vast sea of successful anime blogs that have taken over the anime blogging community, but that’s okay – I’m enjoying my time being that anonymous speck – means I don’t have to live up to anyone’s standards but my own. So, no matter what happens, I’ll be enjoying this cyberspace ride all the way to the very end. 
Could we just skip to the pivotal scenes already? I usually don’t mind watching mindless entertainment, but I just completed a marathon of Ergo Proxy and I need something with a little more substance. That’s not to say that I’m going to abandon this show anytime soon, but I suppose that I’m not really in the mood to watch anything shoujo-esque for the moment. I still think Zero’s a great character and I can relate to his self-loathing, but I have no desire to delve into the nitty gritty details of this episode. Yes, we know that Kaname runs the show between humans and vampires, that he’s a Pureblood, and has an ulterior motive where Yuuki is concerned, but we don’t know exactly what his plans are as well as what his true abilities really are. Also, the big question still remains unanswered: Why does he allow Zero to live when he knows that he’ll eventually become “un-tamable?” Why does he allow him to stay by Yuuki’s side when he himself has a desire for her blood? And why does he allow Zero to…uhh, I’ll refrain from writing the rest in case it’ll spoil the fun for those non-manga readers out there.
Hopefully, I’ll be more inspired to write something more creative with the next episode since that scene should be rather interesting, and I can’t wait to see it animated. Oh, and more tongue action from Zero is always a welcome sight. ^_^
Another solid episode, although I couldn’t help but feel somewhat disappointed by this one. I suppose it has a lot to do with the fact that having read the manga thoroughly and knowing exactly what’ll happen has pretty much ruined any element of surprise for me, give or take a few scenes that I didn’t remember. However, I continue to watch because I’m still looking forward to blogging those pivotal scenes that kept me wanting to read more and more of the manga, and it also provides an opportunity to share my thoughts on certain aspects of the story that I couldn’t before. I also think it’s nice that non-manga readers are finally being treated to a quality vampire story that is worthy of watching.

If you’ve ever been captivated by the idea of receiving a vampire’s kiss, I’m almost certain that you will love this episode. I’ve been waiting so long to see a particular scene animated, and all I have to say is that Mz. Matsuri Hino sure knows how to please her fans. I was a little worried that we’d have to wait another episode to watch it, but thankfully that wasn’t the case. No surprise here that I enjoyed it immensely. It was sensual. It was erotic. And yes, if you’re wondering, I was paying close attention to every detail involved in this intimate moment between Zero and Yuuki. It’s only because I have no life. I’m a satisfied customer.

Note: If you’re wondering why I’m posting this here and not over there, I just felt that this was a more appropriate location for these types of episodic posts. Besides, I am soooo behind that I won’t even make a dent with this entry. Nonetheless, I hope you’ll continue to enjoy reading…for whatever it is worth.
I have to admit that this episode was considerably better than the previous one, and not only because of its primary focus on Zero and his inability to cope with certain realities, but I like the fact that it remained true to the storyline throughout the episode. [Off-topic: Do schoolgirls in Japan really scream like that?] One of the initial reasons I really liked Zero’s character was because of his inability (or unwillingness) to interact with others. He felt misunderstood and excluded by just about everyone. Unlike other people, Zero had nobody by his side. Nobody to tell him that everything was going to be okay. Nobody to fill that emptiness and void in his life. The only thing going for him was his quest to to find and eliminate the one responsible for murdering his family.
