Yea, I guess the regularity part (or the obligation in your mind to be regular about them episodic posts) is the difficult part sometimes. You could always pull out a “Let’s discuss such-and-such show so far” randomly and no one would complain really ;P

@Hynavian: yeah, and that’s what episodic blogging is supposed to be, for sharing and discussing with friends~

Oh Kimikiss! I’m also a fan of that awesome series. You’re right, I do reflect on why I like or dislike a particular episode when I do a review; that makes me think beyond “I like Claymore episode 1 because character abc is godly!” It’s also fun reading the episodic reviews of series that I’m reviewing for more opinions. I might notice one thing while the others notice the others.

?Impz: well said, Impz-sensei. I somehow forgot that along the way, so it’s nice to go back and relive this joy again ^-^

@Kabitzin: Discussions will depend on the series, and the people who are into them, and so long as you just enjoy saying what you want to say, you’ll just be amused at the variety of responses each series gets

@Ryan: I’m just leaving it up to the series I’m watching to go inspire me to make a post and if you’re missing out on the seasonal offerings, go and catch up! Don’t think and just do it

@psgels: I’ve been lazy right from the start so I really am not forcing myself to write if I don’t have anything to say

@Marmosette: Writing detailed episode summaries has never been my forte, and hence I decided to bid it goodbye. It’s more fun that way too.

@blissmo: you do know that Martin’s posts are a hybrid of episodic and editorial, right? I did say ‘episodic’ blogging here, but if you’ve seen my KimiKiss or True Tears posts, you’ll know it’s pretty much a hybrid too Well at least that’s what I want to achieve ^^

@totali: TLR didn’t deserve to be blogged in the first place lolz. Natsu no Sora is such an inspiring show, and I just hope it remains to be that way ^^

@kanzeon: glad to see that you’re off to a good start. Keep it up!

@issa-sa: I should’ve mentioned a disclaimer here about the episodic blogging I’m referring to. It’s talking about the episode, or a group of episodes, basically whatever I want to say about it Hybrid and whatsoever free form blogging hehe. I just want it to be more regular, unlike my experience last season.

Haha, you shouldn’t have to restrict yourself to “EPISODE BLOGGING” and “NO EPISODE BLOGGING”, do whichever you feel like when you feel like it. Or you could always save up your thoughts on episodes and post them at a shot every once in a while.

Being a new blogger, I still have few comments on my episodic entries lols but I totally love what I’m doing and I found it very fun (especially putting on screenshots XD) so I never stop doing it…

Go go go usagijen cheer up!

Sad usagijen in the snow~!!!

I was going to leave a comment on the last post, but I was busy/lazy/not in the mood.

So like, there’s those days where I feel like episodic blogging is a drag too. I end up wondering why I do it, since my blog’s purpose has kind of changed since I started it. But then I end up realizing, hey, I do it because it’s fun. I think the only time I feel like it’s a drag is when I end up blogging something like TLR that is so bad that it’s not even fun to….make fun of.

At some point, like Impz said, you stop caring about comments and you just start caring about how much you love talking about episodes when they come out. Natsu no Sora is definitely one of those shows. If you feel like getting your feelings out about a show every week, do it. That’s my logic anyways.

I like episodic posts, but after you’ve read too many, you find yourself reading articles from places like The End of the World

It is a lot more fun when commenting on episodic entries so knock yourself out. There was probably somethings that made you stop episodic blogging that could be disposed of and still result in a good experience for all (case in point: I’ve never really understood heavily detailed episode summaries but that may just be me).

As a fellow episodic blogger, I wholeheartedly agree with the above commenters. And if you just don’t have any inspiration to write more than two paragraphs, just leave it at that. There’s no need to force yourself.

PS. Am I the only one getting an incredible lag when trying to type a comment?
