I was so busy over the weekend that I didn’t realise Alafista.com has actually quietly stepped into its 2nd anniversary last Sunday (10 May). So here’s a belated celebration! ( ^ _ ^)∠☆PAN！
So much has happened since my last anniversary celebration post: Graduating from university, Stepping into adulthood and getting a job, Meeting Dannychoo, Gaining new sponsors for the site, Invitation to my first press conference, etc.
The past one-year had really been a great learning and growing experience for myself and the blog. Not only did my daily readership increased significantly (by 33%), I believe that I had also matured significantly to become a more responsible adult.
Therefore, once again I would like to thank everyone for they continuous support. ｍ（．＿．）ｍアリガト
And to thank my loyal readers that has been there all this time, I will be holding 2 separate giveaways this coming weekend. And I promise that they are awesome prizes! I had already hinted on my twitter account what one of the prizes would be ^^
In the meantime, I would like ask each of you the same old question I had asked last year:
To share with me why you love this site and would continue coming back?
And what content would you like to see and read about more in the future?
Congrats on the 2 years. I’ve already forgotten how old MMR is and when’s the anniversary, lol.
Congraaaaaaaaaaaaatz!!!
Your blog is really nice, so personal but you give us a little space to talk about “otaku culture”.
I’m really glad for this 2nd Anniversary.
Greetings for a Venezuelan living in Spain.
Hmmm … a little space … like Dannychoo’s puchi blurb?
No ^___^ jejejej.
It was just an expression, nothing more. Sorry for say “little space” to your blog.
Yay! congrats to you and the blog^^
I remember thinking “oh so nice, quiet and organised around here but with alot of information about the japanese culture which you don’t come by alot”
that’s why I sticked around!
Hm, about future content I don’t know… surprise us?^w^
LOL its tough but I’d try =P
Congrats! And the reason I keep coming back is the diversity of the news you post so it’s fine the way it is.
congrats man! 2 years young!
All that in a Year?! Thats alot done lol
This site is awesome and you should stick with what your currently posting, its all good. Congrats on the two years of epic!
Congrats, im quite new around her but i really like this page, to many useful information for an otaku!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALAFISTA.COM! i baught u a cake but everyone forgot it was ur birthday so i ate it =P
seriously though, congrats
Omedetou~ ^^
To share with me why you love this site and would continue coming back?
A: Japanese stuff and otaku news. I couldn’t find lots of news about Japan on other blogs.
And what content would you like to see and read about more in the future?
A: Otaku vocabulary and otaku know-how I guess
Congratulations not required. Alafista’s greatness is expected.
Hell! I read more of your stuff than Danny’s. You got more interesting stories to tell.
LOL I’m flattered.
I’ve followed your blog since fall last year and the main reason why I keep coming back to your blog is the simple fact that you always post interesting news and somehow writes in a personal way, especially from the view of japanese subculture but also from a funny view of the japanese community in general. There’s really nothing more I can wish for from one of my favourite blogs, I mean I really enjoy it as it is. Surely I’ll enjoy it in the future as much as I do now regardless of what you write (just don’t go hentai plz :3).
Anyways, congratulations on your second anniversary! ^^
LOL don’t worry. I don’t like hentai anyway. =P
I prefer real beautiful girls, which is why the weekly gravure idol post.
happy birthday & anniversary to altafista!

Nothing beats reading from a fellow SGrean prespective (:
Congrats. The next target is the 5th anniversary I guess..
congratulation ^^. it is not easy to keep this site up and running with regular readers coming back. BIG congratulation to u !! anyway, for ur question, basically i enjoy ur anime news and updates, with some funny video from japanese tv show, or maybe any interesting news from japan is enough to keep me coming back for this site. perhaps it is the feeling to have someone that share the same interest with me that keep me rooting to this site? haha.
Congrats!
Wish I could said this earlier. But I was busy with my fieldwork for the past 3 days ^^;
I’ll be sure to visit this site when I do have the time. Cheers!
I feel like such a newbie to this site when I hear it’s already 2 years young(sad face).
What keeps me coming back is that the layout is friendly and there is always something to read and keep me entertained.
As for content I would like to see in the future, I am already pleased with the content you provide already.
congradulations on 2 years! my first year will be late this summer, and I’ll be doing my first giveaway too.
Congratulations man! Very nice blog since the follow. Hope to see the coming third, fourth anniversary ^^
