First Official Vlog… GO!

(more…)

Minnie: Hello everyone. This is the one and only Minnie. You know. The dictator of HSA the blog~ Anyways, I bet you guys noticed that I’ve been a bit… inactive lately. No, really inactive. I’ve been on hiatus for a while and the summer season makes me snore so… ANYWAYS, I’m here today to talk about our newest HSA project because hey, we’re always looking for new projects/activities to do because we’re a bored bunch. Today, I will introduce our newest idea…

PODCASTING! And guess what? We already started so watch and enjoy:

Minnie, Miken, Ric’s Version

Hey, Say, Anime and You~

Garrick’s Version

Hey, Say, Anime and YOU!

Yes, you read right: this is officially Hey, Say, Anime!’s ONE-THOUSANDTH POST. That is quite a big number to have accomplished in just a year and a bit (because yes, three months is ‘a bit’). As our group has grown from the duo of Minnie and Garrick to the present team of twelve–and all of those other bloggers in between–we’ve…well, we’ve had a fair collection of interesting moments. Some of them have been open to the public in our comment sections, but mostly, they were behind-the-scenes. Here’s everyone’s chance to see into the idiotic intricate workings of HSA! (and a chance for us bloggers to be amused by ourselves)~

“Minnie’s Magic”
(as Katt and Ric attempt to find a Durarara! pic for this post)
Ric: I’m still looking for a good picture.
Katt: Bahaha. XD It is challenging.
Ric: Yeah. No idea how Minmin does it..
Katt: She has magic, I swear.
Ric: Must do. Perhaps she uses tsundere beams on the internet until it gives her what she wants.

“Invisibility Fail”
Minnie: Hiya. Why am I still on? o_O
Ric: ‘Cause you’re Minmin. Sleep does not exist for you.
Minnie: Lmao XD Yeah But I was sure I was invisible.
Ric: Ye weren’t.
Minnie: I’m extremely tired, so I was supposed to be invisible. >:C

“Yamapredictable”
Minnie: Anyways, I have a notebook, I mean binder. Guess what color it is?
Garrick: Pink!
Minnie: Correct! Yay! It’s coral pink, I think.
Garrick: Coral Pink. Nice.
Minnie: Haha. And there’s a spot in front of the binder. Guess who I’m going to print out and put there?
TAAN: Yamapi?
Minnie: Correct! You guys are good.
TAAN: Nah, you’re just predictable.
Garrick: Indeed.

“Our Favourite Tsundere”
Miken: Papa. read/watch Letter Bee. before I beat you up. >:C

“Catchphrases”
Ric: I have me a catchphrase. “Mad Hatter says: I’m sensing a kidnapping coming on here.”
Katt: Excellent. It should go along with my catchphrase of ‘Inappropriate’.
Ric: Yep~
Katt: We should all have catchphrases.
Ric: YES
Katt: Miken’s is >:C And Koala’s is …
Ric:  Would that be a catchface?
Katt:…I don’t know whether or not to laugh at that horrible pun.

“Denial”
Steve: Even though yes is going to win, I am going to execute my rights as a member of this blog to vote no. I am not trying to be different. I just don’t want an account with Marissa…

“Raccoon the Robot”
TAAN:  I can stay awake forever as long as I’m not working, but one I fall asleep, I usually go for half a day.
Ric: … That’s because you’re not-so secretly a robot.
Katt: I KNEW IT
Ric: And you don’t sleep, you recharge!
TAAN: Actually, sleeping makes me tired, so I hate it. I only do it for the dreams. That and my body will kill me if I don’t.
Ric: Well, yeah. If robots don’t recharge, they’ll die.
Minnie: … I always go back to convos at weird moments. o.o
TAAN: WHY CAN YOU USE LOGIC AT THIS HOUR

“Why Minnie and Katt Ship Riccoon”
TAAN: I even turned on my lights.
Ric: I KNEW IT!
TAAN: …?
Ric: Only robots would have lights attached to them!
TAAN: I never said… DAMN YOU

—–

“Which is Why it’s Awesome”
Katt: Can I put Morita/Takemoto/twister board as a pairing?
Ric: That would sound so kinky if it didn’t sound so painful… Which makes it sound even more kinky, really.

“HSA!’s Most Accurate Theme Yet”
Ric: I vote Minmin for Beato.
Minnie: Yay <3
Ric: Because I’m sure that one day, she’ll kill us all.

And in closing, while this entry ultimately became a celebration of our ridiculous times together in this geeky blogging business, its initial purpose was very different. In truth, this entry was made solely to steal the 1000th post from Minnie. But we are so nice that we will give our beloved leader the closing quote taken out of context:

Minnie: you were purposely abusing me?!!!!!!!!

Much <3 for the team and our lovely commenters. Let’s keep this anime blogging going for another thousand posts so that we can have an excuse to share all of our ridiculousness in one entry once again!

Another season almost over already? Blah! Actually, this season wasn’t as great as last season for us for some reason. The more popular anime like K-ON and FMA Brotherhood became dull after a while… but surprisingly, there are a few gems for each of us this season from the most unexpected places. Who knew anime that we scoff at the preview become such jewels after giving them a try? Proceed to see what we mean with our top five writers~

This Summer 2009 Anime Season doesn’t look too exciting and it doesn’t give enough variety in anime to break down. However, this blog is all about fairness and when it comes to splitting the work evenly, we always manage to do it right before the season. This season is no exception. With the introduction of three new members to replace our two departing members from the anime blogging duties, how will this summer watermelon be divided this time? Let’s not forget our continuing anime people!

(more…)

The summer season is fast approaching and we at H,S,A! have fun predicting what we will think of different series based on their summaries, seiyuu cast, and animation producers. With all of the bloggers on our team now, surely at least one person will find something appealing in each of these series, right…?

Since the Winter Season is coming to an end, this will be the last award for that season. We will probably make up brand new awards for the Spring Season and start it earlier than last season. Look out for the future Spring Awards! Hopefully, you guys can’t wait to see what we’ll come up with next correct? The Spring List is enormous so it will be more fun than this season. Anyways, enough chatting. For now, please enjoy this last award. Which show will win for having the best BGM? Some of your HSA bloggers will vote on it!

(more…)

The Spring 2009 Season has more than thirty anime to blog. How will we be able to cover the majority of them? By dividing the work evenly of course! Some writers will blog as many as 6 anime per season while others will blog as little as 1 anime per season. The choices below are determined by blogging history, consistency, seniority, position, and many others. Apologies to Miken for the lack of her character Imouto in the picture. Anyways, who will blog what this spring? Click to find out~
