Over the weekend Lost in America hit a nice little milestone – one million visits. It happened a hell of a lot faster than I expected, that’s for sure. Numbers like that are hard to wrap your head around, but it means someone out there is enjoying what I’m doing – and that’s good enough for me. Thanks for all your support and participation!

June 3, 2012 at 8:07 pmCongrats Enzo,it's definatly well deserved.Hope you'll get a million more soon!
I still remember reading your first blog entry about Cross Game! (yeah I know,sometimes I can't help but be a bit hipster lol)

June 3, 2012 at 8:30 pmCongratulations 🙂 and You are most Welcome, it was a pleasure 😛
I'm curious, which series attracted the most views or post that got an abnormal number of views over these last few years among these 1 million hits? I'd really want to know what is the face of the readers of LiA …

June 3, 2012 at 9:29 pm@Nyarael @ Nemo: Many thanks!
@totoum: Is Cross Game hispter??
@ Arabesque: That's hard to say. F/Z is definitely the biggest draw right now. FMA/Brotherhood was my biggest when I started the blog, though small by the current standard. Overall, probably F/Z, MPD, Madoka Magica. Working! did well, too – especially for a comedy.

June 4, 2012 at 12:06 amApparently the guy who wrote Scott Pilgrim is a fan of Cross Game. At least that is what it says on the back of one of my manga volumes.
I guess that was a bit random, well besides the whole Cross Game thing.
Arabesque
June 4, 2012 at 1:22 pmSo basically, the LiA readership is made out of F/Z, Madoka, MPD and Cross Game fans.
Yep, we are all without a doubt hipsters! Time to start wearing dem baggy pants and writing in rhyming terms!
(though to be fair, we all used to like this stuff before it was cool …)

June 3, 2012 at 10:43 pmA million congratulations! That's so impressive!
I definitely enjoy your posts – I don't read all (only the ones of anime I'm watching/planning to watch), but I think your thoughts are always very insightful and the posts wonderfully written. And there aren't many blogs like that out there, even less within the anime-blogosphere.
So, congrats and THANKS!

June 4, 2012 at 12:09 amThank you, alualuna. Good to hear from you!

June 4, 2012 at 2:12 amNo, No, thank you for all your hard work and dedication to make such a great site with so many insightful and humorous reviews.
That you manage to blog so many shows each season by yourself is an incredible feat.
All hail the Enzonator.

June 4, 2012 at 3:12 amomedetou Enzo-sama!!!!!!!! ^^
I'd have to say F/Z is your current biggest attractor since everyone is just dying to discuss about an episode after it airs but ofc no other site has a blog on it except yours! not only are you punctual but very insightful so its a huge bonus to read your episode blogs
gotta say, fell in love with your writing style when you covered Colorful, Steins;Gate and Ao no Exorcist on RC and naturally came over to LiA when you said you were covering F/Z & now E7 & Tsuritama *fangirl squeal*

June 4, 2012 at 9:44 amMyself, I came to LiA from a brief visit to RandomC as well. Looking through past season previews and shit, I immediately realized that only Enzo had a similar opinion on what is crazy and good and what is crazy and shit, but also offered much more insight.
Reading this blog is like having a conversation with a more insightful me. Although I don't know what Enzo would say about me, I would be pretty freaking annoyed if I was talking to a less insightful me.

June 4, 2012 at 3:24 amAgain, many thanks for the kind words. I'm looking forward to summer, because by the looks of the schedule it's going to be a much-needed breather season.

June 4, 2012 at 1:22 pmRoom for some backlog? Maybe a certain let's play?

June 4, 2012 at 10:13 pmYes, thank you so much and the praise for yourself– you deserve it. I discovered your blog when RC didn't blog Natsume Yuujinchou Shi. I was screaming "Hallelujah!" when I learned you would blog this series and now I followed you since. I love your writing style: intuitive, cohesive, and you care what you write. I'm happy to find someone who has similar anime tastes except the sports anime (I'm sorry… I'm going to try watch some!)Again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

June 5, 2012 at 12:41 amAs I said (and in doing the preview, I'm confirming my earlier suspicions) Summer looks to be a breather season. Thanks for the thanks!

June 5, 2012 at 6:58 pm*celebratory toast* and have my cherries while you're at it :p .
On to the next million Enzo.
Regardless of how many series I manage to watch as they air, I end up reading basically every post of yours, and lately adding way too many of those series to my watch list (aren't you persuasive?). You write well, and you write good. And balanced, but with flavour. Keep it on, querido.

June 6, 2012 at 6:11 amCongratulations on your milestone, GE!
I have to say, F/Z is also my main reason for coming here. Like Madoka it is a series that invites- nay, demands discussion. VN veterans will have the novels to compare to the anime adaptation, but even first-time visitors to the Nasuverse have plenty to talk about- who, why and how.
I also appreciate how you stick with your opinion even when it goes against the popular wave. I *may* be a little biased because we seem to share the same sentiments regarding recent episodes, but you explain your side very clearly and you keep an open mind- with a dose of irony now and then.
Anyway, tldr: now for the next million!

June 6, 2012 at 6:13 amThank you, Tsu. It's definitely a fun series to discuss, even when I disagree with most of the fans.
