3-01-2003: "New Development?"
I never thought I'd say this, but here goes.

I'm sick and tired of uselessly trying to boost traffic to this website. And I'm not too impressed with its content, either.

My traffic has dropped to an embarassingly low 10 hits per day. I'm just tired of this website. This is the REAL reason I haven't been updating much.

Because of my contempt for this website, I'm currently developing a different website. It will still be anime-based but will feature layout and content much more refined than what you see here. So if you don't see much updating...well, now you know.

1-05-2003: "Edited Layout"
It's a bit late, but happy new year. Anyway, I've cleaned up the layout for the main site a bit. Also note that my e-mail address has changed; put your mouse over the e-mail link at the top to see it.

12-29-2002: "New Reviews"
I've posted up 2 new reviews for Black Lotus Power as well as edited some of my own.

12-18-2002: "Site Hits 3rd Anniversary Today, But A Lack of Accomplishment is Apparent"
A5K turned 3 years old today, but I can't help but feel like I haven't accomplished very much. For the past 4 months, this site has been nearly dead, with my intense AP schedule loading me down with heaps of work and keeping me from working on my webpage.

I just feel that this AP workload will be the death of my site. If not this year, then the next, where I'll have to deal with a full college-level schedule in my senior year while mailing dozens of college applications, forms, scholarships, teacher recommendations, and perhaps an internship.

What's more, I'm losing incentive to work on the site. Over the 4 months that this site remained un-updated, my popularity has dwindled down to 20 hits/day. My attempts to advertise this site have been feeble and/or deceitful at best. And what's the point of writing for a theater if your audience is a near-empty crowd?

I hope things perk up during winter break. Otherwise, I may as well give up...

11-11-2002: "2 New Reviews"
Black Lotus Power is getting pretty tired of my not posting up his reviews. (I can't imagine why.) Today, I've uploaded his reviews for Evangelion (the original and redone edition.) Also, note that his e-mail address has changed to misterallison@hotmail.com.

11-10-2002: "Almost 3 months without updates", "3 new EVA bios"
It's quite amazing that people still visit this ghost town of a website. Sorry, really. I've been trying to update, but my AP classes have bogged me down with countless amounts of work.

3 new Evangelion bios are up in the animé section.

Well, I'd better finish this AP Chemistry lab writeup before my extended weekend becomes a study session.

08-16-2002: "Some difficuly with NGE Bios", "My third review"
These NGE bios have turned out to be a lot harder to make than I previously imagined. In the meantime, I've been writing more reviews to keep this site up. The bulk will be up when I can; I don't want to make any more promises I can't keep.

New anime reviews: my review of Angelic Layer.

07-26-2002: "Continuing on NGE Bios"
I've decided that I've put off the Evangelion character bios for long enough. I have started working on them, and tonight I have added Toji Suzuhara to the character bio list. Be warned, though, that these bios do contain spoilers...

07-22-2002: "New Review Up", "Losing Hits"
New anime reviews: my review of Slayers. I'm also trying to get up the reviews that my friend sent me a while back; that could take a while.

I've also got a big problem: I'm losing hits to my site and FAST! If you read this, please tell everyone you know about this site!

07-15-2002: "This Lack Of Updates Has Gone Far Enough..."
2 new anime reviews: Black Lotus Power's review of Ninja Scroll and my review of Love Hina. These should've been posted up weeks ago; sorry about that.

06-22-2002: "Reviews Up", "Eps Down"
People seem to have trouble accessing the episodes, and I've had a hard time accessing KTurn to fix that problem, so episodes are down until further notice.

On the bright site, a friend of mine, Black Lotus Power, has agreed to write reviews for my site. I have just constructed an anime reviews section on A5K for that reason. While I, Psycho Kain, will be reviewing mostly anime series, Black Lotus Power will be reviewing mostly anime movies. So far, only one review is up: Black Lotus Power's review of Spriggan.

06-09-2002: "Yay! I'm going to Hawaii! YAY!!"
*ahem* Now that I've caught your attention, I'd like to give out the top ten reasons I have not updated my site lately:

01) Damn AP project for last few weeks kept me busy.
02) I've let some of my grades slip and have been working hard to get them back up.
03) A friend of mine promised to send me reviews for a new section of my site a week ago but hasn't sent them yet.
04) My computer's been acting very weird.
05) My life has been consumed by various other animes.
06) Finals coming up next week.
07) Trying to work out an internship with a game designing company.
08) Co-working on a gaming research room with another guy.
09) Trying to get the f***in' Ragnarok client to start working.
10) Laxius Power. Go to gamehippo.com and see for yourself.

05-18-2002: "Second Anime Rant"
After my AP exams, I returned to the world of animé with great relief. Then it hit me: an all-animé life has more value than a school life.

So, in an attempt to prove that I have absolutely no life whatsoever, I will justify this statement: Animé life beats school life.

Look in the "Anime Rants" section in the anime part of my site to read it.

05-13-2002: "AP Testing Over!"
My AP testing is finally over! Now I can get back to trying to update my site!

04-22-2002: "Why A5K Has Been On Hiatus For The Past Few Weeks..."
My computer's been on the fritz lately. Just fixed it yesterday. Also, I've got many tests to take at school as well and a term paper to finish up, so there's a good chance that I won't be updating A5K for the next 2-3 weeks. I'll try to get a few updates in if I get the time.
