So, I lost... (but Baka-Raptor is still the worst 'blog ever)

It was always going to be tough, but after a pretty close start this 'blog ended up effectively fighting against voters for two 'blogs, which was enough to secure a pretty hefty defeat in round three of the Aniblog Tourney.


Despite being knocked out, I want to once again thank everyone who voted for Hanners' Anime 'Blog for their support - It's been fantastic to see just how much support I've received throughout, even to the extent of upsetting the community applecart in the last round, which made for a particularly enjoyable spot of Giant Killing.

This tournament as a whole has also been an incredibly insightful one for me - I'd like to think it's brought me closer to the anime 'blogging community as a whole (which I've perhaps been too distanced from in the past), it's helped me to discover a bundle of great new 'blogs as well as reminding me why I visit some of the sites that I do, it's led to the realisation that some people hate episodic 'blogging with an incredible passion, while others... well, just hate pretty much everyone really. Particularly if they enjoy the final Tenchi OVA.

Anyhow, altogether this contest has given me renewed interest in the rich tapestry of this particular blogosphere, so even though I'll now be watching from the sidelines I'd say it's mission accomplished. Congratulations go to Baka-Raptor for making it through of course - Even though it is the worst 'blog ever.
