At last, we are moving on to a brand new year - 2009!  The Banzai! team wishes everyone a Happy New Year and best wishes for all in the days to come and yes, while it doesn’t look dramatic or whatsoever, today shall also be the day where the site is “officially” launched. :) More new year wishes from the team after this break.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year

oOgA: I decided to make this day as the official launch of The Banzai! Effect. After some testing here and there, I am more or less happy with the theme and the way the site is run. For those who might not know, I have been testing the site and adding of features along with debugging a bit of it since November. My new year wish is of course, to let the community be aware of this site and do support us in the days to come ;P Alright, sounds a little desperate but nevertheless, HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

nutcase23: I hope you guys like the pic. I had to bring Kagami and Tsukasa down to a temple in the early morn to get that shot. Imagine the stares ^^”  After a few months of tinkerng and TBE is finally properly up and going (more or less). Personally I feel that TBE looks alot better than ABanzai! so kudos to oOgA for getting the site up and running in between his work.  All too quickly, it has been one year since I started blogging. I’ll have to thank oOgA for walking me through the process and for providing me with a place to showcase my thoughts and figurine pictures. Come to think of it, if oOgA didn’t introduce me to figurine buying I wouldn’t even be in this mess of EPIC WALLET DRAINAGE. FEEL THE WRATH OF MY WALLET oOgA!!!

Anyway, to all our readers and to all my fellow writers, I wish you a Happy New Year and all the best for the coming year.

Setsukyie: It has been 2 months already since The Banzai! Effect had it’s Pre-Launch , and today is the official launch of The Banzai! Effect. Within the 2 months (more like 1 month and a half), the site has grown a lot, with currently 123 posts and 247 comments. We came this far thanks to oOgA, the writers, and our readers. At this pace, a bright future awaits the blog, as long as you guys continue to support us. I know I haven’t contributed to the blog much since I’ve been slacking lately (lol), but I’ll help with what I can, and promise that more tl;dr posts to come in the future. So, hopefully our readers will continue to  support us, and do enjoy our posts. The Banzai! Effect official launch is also in conjunction with the beginning of the year 2009. My new year wish is to hope that The Banzai! Effect will continue to grow to be a big part of the animeblogosphere, and to bring you more news and articles in the future . And last but not least,  Happy New Year!

Kozato: Woohoo! The official launch of The Banzai! Effect!!! “T B! E” has been great so far and it’s all thanks to oOga, the writers and of course, all the readers. Although I haven’t been contributing much to the blog since I have been busy with my new pc and school work, but now that my rig is done, I will be actively posting, mainly in articles related to gaming and tech stuffs but from time to time I will also talk about anime and manga. Since the official launch of The Banzai! Effect falls on the same day as the New Year of 2009, I wish that The Banzai! Effect will grow and become more well known to not just anime and manga lovers, but also gamers and tech geeks likewise. Happy New Year 2009 to everyone!
