Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

Over the past few days I’ve been doing a little tweaking to the site and through that a new system has been born. I’m sure some, if not most, of you are aware of the tag function in wordpress. After spending some time with it and realizing that the sidebar was becoming insanely long, I thought the move to using a tag based system was the best thing that could happen. This reduces the need to create a new category for every new anime, manga, or anything else and still allows for them to be properly labeled. Those who were used to clicking the specific series/category of their choice need not worry because at the top of the page is a new entry called “Tag Cloud” that indexes all existing tags so you can jump right to the all entries for “Macross FRONTIER”, “CODE GEASS”, “BLEACH”, “Suzumiya Haruhi”, and others (and there’s always the search bar too).

Looking at the sidebar you’ll also notice that the blogroll has shrinked quite a bit. Don’t worry though! I haven’t deleted anyone but rather I’ve collapsed it and added links to the full blogroll next to the Tag Cloud and also another link in the shrunken blogroll itself. This will make things much more tidy and organized as the blogosphere continues to grow.

Next, you’ll notice that there are some new categories around. Anime, I’m sure, speaks for itself and needs no elaboration. Dorama is for Japanese dramas. I watch these on a regular basis and I have blogged an entire dorama before called LIAR GAME. I plan on doing more of these in the near future and you can expect a review or two on some that I’m watching currently and are nearing their final episodes. Games is self-explanatory as well. I’m a gamer and have been so since before I entered elementary school. I’ve always been a avid fan of the JRPG/S-RPG and Fighting game genres but I also like other genres such as racing. Anyway, you can expect to see entries on gaming (be they recent or retro) from myself and possibly Youko and Blade and segments I’d like to share with others. Manga and music are the same as always. I’m sure you can expect more manga entries from me as well. Otaku is for things like figurines, conventions, interviews and the like. The remaining are categories that have been around for a long time already. Hopefully these changes and new content are integrated smoothly since I believe that they’ll have a positive change on KZI in the overall scheme of things. Lastly, expect a new banner (or two) to debut soon!
