Due to the fact that I would like to give my new podcast an identity, I have decided to move my podcast to it's own website. I will still announce new episodes on this blog, but they will be posted on this site from now on, allowing viewers to comment on them and access them easier.

So I just launched a political blog called The Austin Pundit. The reason why I launched this site was due to an increasing interest in politics. For these reasons, I have decided to make The Austin Critic exclusively for anime and other entertainment products that I find interesting, while The Austin Pundit will be for politics.

Since I haven't actually written anything for awhile, it seems that I must offer an explanation for my absence from writing. School work is overwhelming, and while I do enjoy watching anime and writing for this blog, I still consider my school work to be a top priority. However, due to winter break coming up soon (About 1 week), I will be back writing various articles for a few weeks, before going back to school work. I'm planning on reviewing:
Attention: I will only be limited to writing on Friday and the weekend! Please keep note of this!
For those of you who don't go on twitter or the PH website, I am here to announce the reopening of The Austin Critic! It seems that two weeks after announcing my departure from Anim blogging, a few more events occurred during my hiatus, resulting in my return to anime blogging!
So with my return, many of you are going to want to know why I left anime blogging. Well... it seems that while I was writing episodic reviews of anime, I accidentally closed myself off from society. The blog became too much for me to handle, and kept on interfering with my personal life, resulting in a very bad relationship with my family and friends. It was for these reasons, that I was actually forced to end the blog, until we could find a way of balancing both my personal life and writing. This resulted in my decision to stop writing episodic reviews on my site, meaning that there will be no more episodic reviews on my site.
However, that isn't to say that I won't be writing that much content. I will still be writing my first impressions posts on Janaiblog, while I may review one anime episodically on Project Haruhi. Any reviews I write on this site will either be reviews of unlicensed material or any DVD box set that I found interesting enough to review.
That also isn't to say that I will only be writing about anime, as I've also decided to do something a little... odd. I have decided to also write about US politics on my blog, due to the fact that I have to broaden my writing interests if I want to make a living writing. The articles are opinionated, meaning that if you are offended easily, then don't bother reading them.
Thanks for all your support,

Well... after going to Anime Fest in Dallas, something... happened. This event would result in the following:
Due to it being past the one year anniversary of the site (Which was created in April 2009), I have decided to make a few changes in the way I review items. From now on, I will be writing episodic reviews, as I don't seem to have enough content to write about when I do reviews of an entire show. Due to fan subs being illegal, I will try to watch licensed shows that have been distributed online the date the licensees distribute it. This means that while I may be able to watch the latest of episodes of thing on Crunchyroll, my free membership will not allow me to see them the day of its release, as I do not have an actual credit card to buy the premium membership. Anything that can't be accessed legally, I will watch fan subbed. To find an index of the shows I'm following, please make sure you visit the tab on the of the page titled, Anime Series. This tab will show an index of shows I'm watching, which will show if I'm following, or dropping a show. I will be blogging about more series later on. Here is a preview of what I'll be following later:
Due to finals, speeches and various other tests, I won't be writing any content from now on until the start of the summer.
Upon going to the Crunchyroll website, I discovered that the staff had created a petition in order to get Bleach simulcasted on Crunchyroll. While I am fully aware that Bleach is stupid, retarded and has filler that (while better than Naruto's) would make even the most patient viewer tear his hair out; it also has moments of gratuitous awesomeness and coolness, also having a sense of style that makes me want to have a Zanpakuto myself. In the end, it's just brainless fun that I love to watch when I don't feel like using this thing called a "brain". (Even if the filler does make me want to commit homicide!!!) It is due to these reasons that I entreat the world to sign this petition, as Crunchyroll is aiming to have about 100,000 signatures by the end of the week. While the number seems a bit unrealistic, it would still be worth a try to get this anime simulcasted on Crunchyroll. Here is why I believe Bleach should be on Crunchyroll:
(Note: If I say anything stupid or/and incorrect, than please forgive me. I am not an expert in this industry.)
My news article on the Japanese Pop Culture Club has been published. Check it out!
Here is a list of the animes coming out on the Spring of 2010 that I plan on watching. I will release a first impression later on. Hopefully, the animes will be released on Crunchroll, as I want to do this legally.
I have just become editor in chief of the review section of Manga Jouhou. My duties include the editing of reviews and the posting of reviews on the site. I can't wait to start the job!!
Due to extremely poor audio and content quality, I have come to the decision to temporarily delay Jouhou Cast till after Spring break. I apologize for the immense inconvenience this presents to viewers, but the contents of the episode that was to be released can only be described as embarrassing for both Manga Jouhou and the hosts of the show. I promise to deliver an episode with outstanding quality after Spring break.
I have recently added the following manga and anime to The Shelf:
My reviewer Bio Page for Jouhou Shisou, the blog of Manga Jouhou, hase been published. Link here.
I recently deleted episodes 1-7 of Jouhou Cast, due to my reluctance to get sued by the artist who created the openings and endings to my podcast. I recently discovered a little thing called "copyright laws", resulting in my immediate decision to delete them. Episode eight will be released Saturday with "pod safe" music. I don't apologize for deleting them, as I will be a "law abiding critic/journalist/podcast host".
