Long time no post!!!!
It’s been awhile! My life got hugely busy. In the back of my mind, I’d keep thinking… gotta update my Tumblr! But somehow, 6 months passed by without my getting around to doing so.
That’s partly due to all my boring adult responsibilities. But it’s also because, after almost (or over? I can’t remember lol) a decade of regular posting… I have admittedly almost run out of content. Nearly all my art books and magazines have been scanned (and I haven’t been collecting new ones as much due to annoying post-pandemic international shipping price increases) and I don’t have the time or energy to make batches of gifs like I used to.
But! That doesn’t mean I consider my work on this Tumblr to be done with. I do have plans for the new year, albeit ones that are a little more sedate. They are as follows:
-Update all my existing scans to be better quality; bigger and cleaner!
-Finally finish that infernal 80s anime primer.
-Make posts highlighting notable animators, artists, directors etc. from the era.
-Crosspost any and all retro anime articles or translations from my personal blog.
-Streamline the main page to include more tags for easier archiving/browsing of all the accumulated content.
-Reblogs, the occasional gif or screenshot, etc.
A big thank you to all my followers, new and old. Sharing my love of old anime with you throughout the years has been a real honor and source of fun for me. I hope you’ll stick around even with the new, more relaxed pace. I’m looking forward to how 80sanime will evolve in 2023!
