Taking a closer look at the 07-08 homepage, it looks like the links between pages have been improved, overall the site itself is more user friendly but maybe the greatest improvement are the photo galleries. A great number of photos are easily viewable from each preliminary round and previous championships going back to the first in 2005. There are still many great photos from 2003 and 2004 that I am sure are still available, It would be great to have those up and viewable to see how the event has progressed.

There will be changes for the direction of blog entries and content this year as well. Over the last year blog entries have been spotty at best, you can expect more regular information in the coming year. As far as content goes last year covered preliminary updates, representative introductions and had one or two interviews and related information such as introductions of sponsors.

This year what I will try to include many more interviews with events and representatives. One new thing I want to include is information on manga/anime/cosplay culture from a Japanese perspective. In different countries there are different things that are popular but perhaps I can give a different view with the state of manga/anime/cosplay from within Japan. Finally I will also add a few general updates just on the seasons and weather changes and any other interesting little things that may come up as well. Anyway, please do keep checking back and leaving comments; I will make sure to provide you with interesting reading!
