Looking Back at the First 100 Posts


Has it already been 100 posts? Darn.. In such a short time, so much has happened. Since I opened the Herald on September 2, we’ve seen ANN inadvertently leak Oreimo, AIC get bought out, and the controversial Tokyo Youth Ordinance Bill pass. We’ve taken looks to the past, and speculated on the future. And, I’ve even written some stuff that I think is unusual.

Anyway, thank you dear readers for joining me for this first hundred posts. I hope you all look forward to joining me for the next hundred!
