Comments on: Crystal Blaze - 08 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/05/28/crystal-blaze-08/ An anime blog covering a large variety of series, both popular and underrated. Sun, 12 Feb 2012 00:06:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: BlueYoshi http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/05/28/crystal-blaze-08/#comment-7880 Thu, 29 May 2008 12:54:37 +0100 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/05/28/crystal-blaze-08/#comment-7880 I haven't even seen an episode of Crystal Blaze (although I plan to once the Summer Season begins), and yet I had to comment about this. I've always liked your blog the way it is. What got me hooked onto it in the first place was your wonderful entries on Higurashi. It was your thoughts and opinions (theorys too) that I liked; seeing a big summary of a Higurashi episode would just ruin it. Usually you don't really provide a big summary unless you're really enjoying what you're watching (Porfy and I think Shion no Ou comes into mind). I haven't been reading the Crystal Blaze entries, so I didn't know that you were just providing thoughts, because I've seen brief summaries on the rest of your entries. You can tell from the above comments that we enjoy your style of blogging. Keep the good work up.

They're interesting to read, especially coming from someone who seems to have a large knowledge of anime.

Being recent anime fan and like many readers of your blog, I watch anime that are less mainstream. Those anime have no coverage elsewhere. A small paragraph of summery could benefit those who want to know what the anime is about. Hi psgels,

For example, if you say the characterization is great, then what is it about the episode that made you think that? Things like that would be helpful to me so I can at least get a sense of what's been happening in the story.

While I don't read everything, a good number of posts are usually interesting and worth reading, even if I don't provide feedback. But I will not lie...I'm glad that there are summaries available out there, for a couple of reasons, but I don't think every single blog needs them. So keep up what you're already doing.

It's just...pointless really. Combined with your willingness to blog more interesting shows, and your valued opinions on them, i'm sure that's why people visit here.

Depends a lot on the target audience. If you assume that most people reading a blog entry have already watched the episode, then a summary is really pointless, after all. On the other side of the coin, I'll say that I *do* find summaries helpful when the entry is for a raw episode, since I'll usually watch the raws but not necessarily understand everything going on... but I can usually get enough to understand the comments, whether there's a summary or not, so they're certainly not vital.

You don't need to give a summary of every single episode (there are enough blogs who do that). If I want to know what happens through an episode, then I watch it. But I love your blog because I like to read yout personal thoughs about the animeseries. There aren't much people whit an opinion similiar to yours. And there aren't many guys blogging not-mainstream series like Kaiba (is there at least one other blog with that show? Oo). So I like to go here and read what you think about an episode. And in the most cases, it's the same what I think, and I like that ^^ I like your blog the way it is.

It is more fun to watch the anime. I do however value the thoughts and ideas that a blogger writtes down. Although a short summary is nice i don't see why there is any need for a huge essay outlining every scene. I have no idea why there are so many people that want these. If someone knows why, I would like to know it. I don’t read the summaries, why should i? It is more fun to watch the anime. I do however value the thoughts and ideas that a blogger writtes down.

In that respect, I do think that there is value to an episode summary, but I have never read them myself. Either I'm interested in the show and watch it without spoiling myself, or I'm not interested and wouldn't either watch or read about it. From discussions in the past, I am pretty positive there are lots of people who think so. Therefore, I think you really are doing a great job with your blogging style and I hope you won't change it unless you think summary writing is lots of fun.

A blog is for someone to express their opinion, isn't it? Unless it's something completely obscure or confusing, all it needs is the author's thoughts and comments. On the subject of Crystal Blaze - it's nothing great, but it's a solid watch and that's all it needs to be a good anime.
