Changing Gears


I honestly hope that you have been enjoying this conversation on business and the anime market, dear reader. I’ve had great fun writing it, despite the hours of lost sleep, countless books read, and dozens of pages written. I’ve also been ablle to use this opportunity to learn a great deal about the inner workings of the customer and the phenomenon of the market.

Going forward, I don’t intend to let up on this breed of content. However, due to increasing constraints in time (and a shrinking stack of books), I’ll be breaking these posts up with more normal works. In particular, I’ll be spending more time on reviews, news commentary, and other content that will hopefully break things up enough that I can read through the next few books. Also, there’s the issue of that “10 year” piece I have to finish… (oops)! This will not happen immediately – I still have a few more pieces in the works.

I do thank you, dear reader, for your support and your readership. I hope to see you join me going forward, and I look forward to your comments, and your interest going forward.

Now, I’d like to pose a question to you, dear reader. What kind of content would you like to see?
