The Bottom Line

I like anime, manga, video games, and Japanese culture.

My personal blog is called Fragments of Dreams, which is mostly summed up with the phrase rants and whines from Youth to Old Age.

My Last.fm profile is here. I don’t use it very much though.

Purpose of blog among other things: This blog really serves no purpose except as an outlet for me to write about my many hobbies. I’m not looking to copy cat other anime bloggers and just do the same old things by posting tons of images and writing a summery that you can find on other anime blogs or just by watching the damn episode. I mainly just like posting my criticisms and what I found to be neat about what I watch. I like being critical about everything I watch most of the time because nothing really satisfies me. But it doesn’t mean I can’t be overly ridiculous and degrading either. I like writing about what I want to not what everyone else wants me to. I’ve been trying to constantly grow as a writer. Ultimately, I like writing and I’ve been blogging in many different forms since 2000.

The name for my blog クロス† チャネル comes from my favorite visual novel of the same name only theirs is written in English. CROSS†CHANNEL is created by FlyingShine. My user name Koji Oe (孤児 おえ) is a combination of two things. Koji is a name of a perverted character I created in a fantasy story I used to write as a kid who is an orphan (Koji means orphan in Japanese). Oe comes from the last name of Kintaro Oe from Golden Boy. Koji Oe was usually an alias I used in visual novels.

There was a time I was known on the internet as the tripfag, “tonberryking” mainly on 4chan’s /a/ where I was scorned and hated, but perhaps /a/ had a tsundere love for me and my faggotry. I really don’t go there anymore, but I will post from time to time.

I have been studying Japanese for about 2 years, and one of that year was spend living in Japan. Where I learned much about myself, other world cultures, and maybe a little bit about Japan. My Japanese skills are some what on a level I feel I can translate for myself but not for the general public too much. I plan on taking JLPT level 2 in December so I am studying like mad until then.
