Thank you for visiting my small slice of the world.

Hi there and welcome to my Diary! I appreciate everyone who comes to visit. I started an account on TheOtaku and MyOtaku over twenty years ago when I was about 12-13 years old. Oh the memories that I have of that bustling internet world. When social media wasn't even a term yet! This place taught me so many things and I have made wonderful lifelong friends here.

I am coming back to this place to blog again. Even though not many visitors come around, I am just happy to be back, let my thoughts out and be apart of this legendary website. I will from time to time post on MyOtaku, for those who login once in a while, I want them to see that the site still has faithful visitors.

Thank you for being here. You are amazing.

• To keep my diary like old times

• To share my stories with people willing to read them

• To interact with other people with similar interests like me

Tuning into old anime & hiding from the algorithms

A quick post about what I just got in the mail today. Beyblade! I really want to show my kids this show and guess what… I did and they like it! While Beyblade isn’t as popular like it was in 2003, it still a fun watch and gives me a moment to reminisce about when I was 12 and played the game!

Next on the list of “anime I want my kids to watch” is Digimon. Absolutely awesome show.

So, I’ve been contemplating things, I’ve noticed a group of us are now called Ghosts. +_+ as much as it breaks my heart to know this place is a graveyard of blogs, I still have want to come back and post regularly. IF anyone out there with a MyO account feels like they want to run away from the fast paced social media, constant ads and algorithm performances, then please start posting here again. I want to connect and comment and share what really matters in life.

I showed my kids how cool this place used to be and they wanted to make accounts too! But I told them it’s sadly closed off from the world and they can’t make accounts here. Maybe I can’t have them share their cute fanart drawings in TheOtaku for now. They are almost the same age I was when I made my account (I was like… 13!!!) so time is flying right one by for me.

Anyways, I have been posting for the past few days, check my archives for the most recent past posts. For those who don’t have MyO accounts, I will be posting the same stuff here in my Diary on TheO.

See ya later!

A MyOtaku Revival

Hello all,

This is a post of dreams of a somewhat long forgotten place. When blogging, connection and anime created an amazing community. I long for it again and wish to see a spark come back to the MyO. It's been considered a dead website for a long time but I really don't want it to be.

Now, I know you aren't able to actually sign up for a new account (yet ^_-) but if old members could start blogging, commenting and connecting, maybe the page could resurface. It would be amazing to be able to create a site again and have new users fill the site up again with real life. Then maybe new members could start joining! At least I really hope.

I guess what this post here is asking for is a Call to Action to bring back a little slice of an amazing community. You can message me if you would like to be apart of it and if we aren't MyO friends, I will add you so I can see your updates!

All the Best Friends,
