AnimeBlogger:
Technology and gaming sites & blogs:
+ Ars Technica - One of the best technology editorial and review sites I’ve read. A daily feed of informative and well-researched posts. Definitely recommended.
+ Digg - A news site in which users submit stories and vote, or “digg” the ones to appear on the front page. A great source for information, lulz, and… lulz.
+ Engadget - Best all-around technology focused news blog out there.
+ Gamasutra - Arguably the best gaming news and editorial site on the web. It’s heavily industry-focused, so don’t expect to find reviews and previews here…
+ Joystiq - Sister site of Engadget, Joystiq is my favorite gaming-focused blog.
+ Kotaku - Perhaps the gaming version of Alafista (below), Kotaku reports a lot of interesting and funny game (and sometimes anime) related news.
+ MEGATONik - Gaming blog that drops MEGATONS (get it?! GET IT?! Eh…).
+ NintendoLife.com - UK-based Nintendo site that provides the latest news, previews, and reviews on the latest Nintendo games.
Other blogs:
+ Blogcritics.org - Critics of blogs… or something.
+ Lifehacker - A general lifehacks blog that ranges from technology to GTD to whatever else you can think of.
+ LifeRemix - Aggregator of informative and insightful lifehack and improvement blogs. Definitely recommended for tips on work, design, money, and life.
+ Snack or Die - Video Game Cookies - Video games? Sweets? Go here.
+ Unclutterer - Being cluttered sucks, so head to Unclutterer to learn how to unclutter your life, your workspace, your home, your everything.
Aya Lovers:
+ hashihime 橋姫 - AYA LOVE FOREVER <333333 Huh? What is this place about? Seiyuu.
+ Natsukashii Anime Blog - Supposedly a gathering of great anime bloggers of the past. Unfortunately, I don’t know who any of them (besides Osu from his posts on Heterochromia) are. Oh, and Osu loves Aya too <333333
Personal favorites:
+ The Animanachronism - IKnight’s posts are too difficult for me to read. Difficult as in too smart. I can’t understand much of it, so it must be high-level stuff. Maybe you’ll make more sense of it.
+ Borderline Hikikomori - A humorous and enjoyable team blog run by CJBlackwing. She’s a girl.
+ Cruel Angel Theses - The author, saturnine, is a Nazi beautiful girl that I would love to date. Unfortunately, she’s with DS. Bastard. He, like IKnight, writes intelligent shit that I don’t understand.
+ caitlinomara - Little kids attack her with kanchos. When she’s not being assaulted, she likes to post about Japanese school lunches, Baskin Robbins flavors, and a bad anime called Special A.
+ Epic Win Blog - It was epic win until a four/five-month hiatus. They announced their return in April, made one post after that in May, and have not posted since. They do two-man conversation style posts which allows for some lulz and more lulz.
+ Ex-Fansubber ひとり言 - She used to be a fansubber. That’s why it’s ex-fansubber.
+ far away no where - He likes Noe, I like Noe. A perfect match, I have to say.
+ Furu Anime Panikku - I think I should buy him an iPhone or something. He seems to have bad luck with electronics. Maybe all the Rei and Eva stuff in his room is bad luck for him.
+ Heterochromia - Sadly, Sasa has left ani-blogging. NOOOooooooooo.
+ Hop Step Jump! - Jeff Lawson writes good posts. Enough said. He did win the People’s Choice Awards for Best Editorial Blog and Most Thought-Provoking Blog, so he must be good.
+ OGIUE MANIAX - Loves Ogiue; I share his love, although to a much lesser extent. Saki > Ogiue ALWAYS.
+ seriously not dotq - I am engaged to lolikitsune, the blog’s author. Expects lots of trolling and graphs as you navigate notdotq. Heck, he rarely blogs about anime anyway; he’s an anime blogger blogger.
Those that shove anime and manga news down our throats:
+ a geek by any other name - My source for US anime news.
+ alafista.com - Amusing news snippets from Japan. Lots of men being arrested and weird anime happenings.
Why isn’t blogging like a chore for them?:
+ Anime Blog ga Arimasu - My favorite episode summary blog in the anime blogosphere.
+ Random Curiosity - Best place for screen captures because there are plenty of them.
+ Subculture Anime Blog - I beat totali’s ass in Brawl and wipe his face with it.
Other smart bastards that I don’t understand:
+ Lelangiric - Blog of a bastard that doesn’t like Aya or Noe.
The rest:
+ Anime Under the Sun
+ Are-are - Don’t visit this blog until Nagato reveals his or her gender to me.
+ アニ・ノート - He snipes people and then doesn’t allow comments on his blog. Damn Russian.
+ Atarashii Prelude - I liked his blog until he decided to place an unstoppable audio file in this post.
+ Bateszi Anime Blog - … Nothing much to say. He’s a good writer. I like his blog. Why else do you think I link to it?!
+ Brik’s Haus Anime Blog - Has mostly blogged reviews and summaries of old animu. Helps when I’m thinking about watching a finished show.
+ Daijoubu - A delicious dango by the name of DS domiciles at Daijoubu.
+ Danny Choo - Who every anime blogger aspires to be. Information about Japan and figures; perfect for… uhh… studying the culture before going to Japan?
+ Drastic My Anime Blog - I recently discovered that it has more writers.
+ The End of the World - He’s British. Does that mean he’s sophisticated?
