Hey guys
The end of the year is upon us. 2020 has been a good year, and 2021 seems like it’s going to be another baller of a year. So I wanted to take some time to do some housekeeping, talk about where the blog is at, where it’s going and plans for the future. Let’s get into it after the cut!

Taking next week off
With Christmas coming next week, I’m going to take another week off to spend time with the family, stretch the writing fingers and frankly just enjoy the holiday. I don’t like taking time off, but I figure there isn’t going to be much happening next week, so I may as well. There will be a Tune of the Week entry of course, but aside from that, going to have a little vacation.
Looking back at 2020
I’ve done a lot of stuff over this last year. A couple collaborations, plenty of hentai reviews, and discussed several light novels, manga, and anime series. I even got through a lot my backlog, with blog posts about Berserk, Chivalry of a Failed Knight, Parallel Paradise, Persona 4, Valkyrie Drive Mermaid, Spy X Family, and the Overlord Light Novels. It’s honestly been a good year for the blog, and I’ve been surprised that burned through a lot of what I expected to carry me into 2021. Not that it is a bad thing, but it also means I need find some more stuff. Which brings me too…
Future Posts
I’ve started plenty of long-term blogging projects over the past few months, taking volume by volume looks at certain series. I expect these to continue into the new year, supplemented of course by my seasonal check-in and random stuff that crosses my desk. This is what you can expect coming down the pipe in the near and far future. Please note that all of these are subject to change.

As you can see, we got a packed 2021, and I hope that by this time next year, or the next housekeeping post. I’ll have made a good dent in it. Of course things always change, new shows come and go, and sometimes more time or less is given to me. I do think I can get at least 70% of this done, sans the Long-term projects but we’ll see.
As always my heartfelt thanks to Crow, Irina, Lynn, Scott, Yomu and Pete for always liking or sharing my posts and welcoming my comments. A big thanks goes to new contacts such as Jon Spencer, iniksbane and infinitezenith for always being there for chat or comment. A very heartfelt thanks to Leth and everyone from the Sword Art Online fanbase who have shared, liked and re-tweeted my posts. I hope you’ve all been enjoying the blog as much as I enjoy working on it. Make sure to follow me on Twitter at @ShallowDivesAni if you aren’t already.
I look forward to your VN review. I loved SG as a game and I only seem to hear about the anime.

It’s been a bit of a struggle in some regards, but I want to get back in it and just power through. I fucking loved the anime, and that is part of the reason.

Looks like you’re really motivared to keep writing about anime, and that’s cool.
I’ve made some plans like you, but my goal right now is to take one series and write all I can about that. So maybe 2021 will be a year with 100 Naruto posts, and that will be crazy.
I’ll watching your blog, wish you the best.
See ya

2021 will be a year of success for both of us. One question, you read the physical media or there’s a service you sign up for reading mangas and light novels?
We don’t have many options where I live
