Shelf Life - Paradise Found

I am a little worried about The Stream. My concern is that the same shows may make the "top 5", while some of the newer shows may never get a proper write-up simply due to them not making the top cut. I found The Stream very informative as to what I should put into my queue, given that I have a limited amount of free time. I'm going to miss that.

Second, about the Stream: it's effectively dead for me now. I understand the reasoning for the changes, but one of the most useful aspects of it was that it allowed us to see how a streamed series progressed throughout the season. I could see if it got better or worse as time went on, and if I'd delayed in starting a series (which I frequently do), I could use it to decide if I wanted to change that stance or if I should just write off a series entirely. The reduced scope and less frequent updates pretty much put the kabosh on that.

So, it's a shame that the Stream will become a lot less relevant, but I suppose we can't have everything, and Bamboo needs her rest.

Such doubt!! I'll try my best to make it still relevant. I think you will see that the Stream will not change that much, and I hope it will still be useful.

Thanks for your input! I'll try and figure out a balanced way to do everything and not just write about the same five shows. There might be a slight adjustment period, but I do understand what you're saying, and I agree with your concerns.

Wow! Thank you! That is a relief, since The Stream has really helped me out, the single most useful column on ANN, and has directed me to watch a few shows I might have passed on. For example: Chihiyafuru, Hunter X Hunter and Tari Tari --You have no idea how grateful I am for this...

Josh's collection: Oh god!, tacks through the Madoka posters?! You put holes in the Madoka Posters!? Just seeing that viscerally hurts, like you punched those tacks through my very soul. And yes, I know that's not how you use the word viscerally. How could you man, come on! Nah, 'tis alright. But next time, pick up some cheap frames and matboard from the nearest Hobby Lobby and do yourself and your room a favor.
