Jedimastertrunks here! Chobineko started this post (and made the lovely graphic at the bottom), but right now she's having PC problems so she is unable to add to this post.
Exactly two years ago on this date, I made my very first post here on Airii~n deshou?! and therefore, it's the 2 year anniversary of this blog!
A lot has changed over the years, hasn't it?
I tried many different styles on Airii~n deshou?! (both in the design and in the content of stuff that I posted about) to get where I am today. Starting with the design, anyone remember how horrible things used to look? I don't have any pictures from Airii~n deshou?!'s early days (and that's probably a good thing), but I'm sure some of you will remember. Thankfully Chobineko stepped in and agreed to help out with the design and Airii~n deshou?! looks so much better thanks to her.
And I tried posting various things in the past, from nerdy PC related things to random H!P news, but now I've obviously just stuck to providing downloadable content. I try to provide a picture guide with each download post (or at least a bunch of screenshots), to give a preview of what the video is about, occasionally adding a short review as well, to keep the posts interesting. It's quite a bit of extra work, but I enjoy it, so I don't mind.
Overall I'm really really happy at what Airii~n deshou?! has become, especially considering I built it from literally nothing two years ago. It still surprises me that we've reached 1,000,000 views, even if that was quite a while ago. I didn't expect any of that to happen, but of course I'm grateful. I (and starting from this year, Chobineko too) have worked hard to get Airii~n deshou where it is today but it wouldn't be anything without you guys visiting everyday and saying so many kind things.
Actually, I came very very close to closing Airii~n deshou?! after my MF account was shut down. I gave myself a deadline (today, actually) - where I would try to revive Airii~n deshou?!, or close it on its 2nd birthday. Well of course, today has come (and is almost gone) and Airii~n deshou?! will stay open. It's all because of all the kind messages (and emails) that you guys left me, as well as a few conversations with Chobineko about this.
So really, thanks everyone and hopefully I'll be making a similar post like this 1 year from now!
Omedetou Chris!!!!!!!!!!!! ^^ really!! ♥

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Chris and Angélique!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I followed this blog more actively when it was less about downloadable content and more about H!P news. I like your style of writing. But anyway, it's quite an amazing job you're doing with the subbing and posting of videos. Thank you.
hmh, i also miss your posts which were more about your opinions etc than download links... but anyway this is absolutely the best h!p blog, no matter what. glad that you didn't close airiin~n deshou!
ReplyDeleteAh, people actually liked those types of posts? Well I'll see about doing more posts like the "Mobekimasu Sort: 2012 Edition" posts to bring some variety back to Airii~n deshou?!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
Congrats! I'm glad you're staying open!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 2 years! :) I'm really happy that you decided to keep this blog going. I'm really grateful for the all the DVDs and shows that are posted. Keep up the good work and thanks so much for everything!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Honestly, I thought this blog was older. (I've never taken a closer look at the archive... :-) And yes, more essays, please.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I remember your blog since the beginning. It's crazy that it's been 2 years!! Keep up the awesome work! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I love your page. I met your page last year and I like the pages that focusing on downloads and have a big variety of downloads.

二歳誕生日おめでとうございます！
ReplyDeleteこのブログは素晴らしい、大好きだ。
頑張って！
Very nice works Jedi-san.

Even if one day you're unable to post downloadable content, you should still keep this blog up and just do random news. :) I love this blog so much and I know one day it will have to close down, but I hope that day is far from now. And when that day does come, I'm pretty sure I'll just cry.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary!
I wouldn't be so bad if you couldn't post download content since your options(and Chobineko's)are pretty interesting to read. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your second anniversary!! I really love this blog and everything you do to make it so great. I hope you will continue to make such amazing posts in the future!
