Title: My Excel Saga Blog
Post by: Speedy on August 09, 2014, 09:20:15 AM
Hi everyone, Joel suggested I share this link here, which makes sense since this is a devoted Excel Saga forum.  During the months of June and July I re-watched the Excel Saga anime to see if it held up (in some ways, it did) and decided to blog about it.  Link is here:  http://excelexcel.blog.com/ (http://excelexcel.blog.com/)

Agreements?  Disagreements?  Things I got wrong?

(also, watch for a review of the spin-off Puni Puni Poemy coming soon)

Wow, this is awesome - thanks for that! I think I'll spend the day reading through it and maybe post some comments. :)

If you want, we can link to your blog from ours, or even host some of the entries for you. Let me know if either sounds good!

Hope you enjoy reading it!
I am so far! I left you a comment on your blog post about the first episode; it hasn't shown up yet, though.

EDIT: Looks like you posted about episode 1 on my birthday... great timing! :e_hail:

^ Comment added, congrats, you're the first!   :sweat:

By the way, be prepared for some random 502 errors, if you haven't seen some already.  If you get a 502, try reloading the page, that usually works.  Unfortunately blog.com isn't the most stable blog.

No problem! We used to have lots of issues like that until we switched web hosts. I'll be sure to continue reading and commenting soon, I've just been busy today.

I'm enjoying reading it so far. :)

Re Episode 2, though, The Scream is by Edvard Munch, not Van Gogh.

Welcome to AR, Speedy!

I look forward to reading through your ES blog because it's definitely going to feel like a trip down memory lane for me. It's been quite a while since last watching it. :sweat:

Also looking forward to the Puni Puni Poemy review as well.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Thanks for the welcomes, all!

The PPP review should happen within the next week, I'd estimate.  I really disliked it when I first watched it ten years ago, so it should be interesting to see if I feel the same way now.
