Wow, where to start? Umm, hi, my name is Takuto. I’m the host hear at the Anime Cafe. While I can’t serve actual food and drinks to you, I can bring you some savory anime reviews and worthwhile conversations. One year ago, I shyly put out the chalkboard stand and turned the “Welcome” sign facing the skies. Since then, I’ve accumulated . . .
115 posts,
about 1,451 curious visitors,
about 3,797 positive views,
about 703 gracious likes,
about 905 lovely comments,
and 98 faithful followers.
If you’ve ever liked one of my posts, followed me around, left a comment, read one of my little posts, and/or even stopped by just to see what’s up, Thank You. From the bottom of my heart. I honestly cannot think of a happier and more positive place to be in than in this very cafe – in the WordPress Aniblogger community. Thank you so much.
But I can’t stay serious for too long, you know me 😉 I’ve honestly had such a fantastic, memorable time with all of you. Whether you’ve been with me since the beginning, or we just started tagging each other >.< I hope I’ve impacted you in some sort of upbeat, smiley way, as you have on me! Please keep up the awesome support, as I will continue to boost all of you with my dull humor and fanciful comments (not really, but really) 🙂 I honestly love you guys too much, and I sincerely hope that you have enjoyed what I have been able to give you, albeit just some words on another random anime site! *raises tavern mug* Here’s to the passing year, and to the next incredible one to pass!!! *drinks heartily*
But I think I owe you all something else, too. It’s a cafe, yet not once have any of you been visually served. ENJOY~
I know it’s not nearly enough, but we’ll definitely have more celebrating in the future (like my 100 followers special, which is coming up really soon *cough cough, wink wink*) Thank you for the adventure, and until next time, this has, and always will be
– Takuto, your host
Congratulations, Takuto. And that was too cruel all those delicious desserts and we can’t even eat them. Too cruel.

*dives head first into chocolate cake* CONGRATS ON ONE WHOLE YEAR! I think the first year of a new blog is the hardest, so congrats on beating it! You run such a warm comfortable cafe here 😉 I always love dropping by! Hope your second year is another success! 😀

If I ever visit the cafe, the first thing I will say is “shut up and take my money” XD. It would be awesome to eat and drink treats and chat about anime and/or manga.

Haha, yes! Wouldn’t it just be the greatest to sit down with all of the members you are fond of in the aniblogger community, most purchasing delicate desserts, fried goodness, or fruit/coffee drinks, and just talking about anime? God, what I’d give for that one moment. Maybe one of these days . . .
