Just kidding.

Welcome to Epic Win Blog and thanks for taking the time to stop by the site. This post marks the official grand opening of what we hope will become an entertaining and informative resource for all your anime and Japan-o-phile related needs, as well as a creative outlet for us to share our interests with all of you. We hope you have as much fun reading our motley commentary as we have in writing it. To learn more about who we are and what this blog is all about, be sure to check out our About page.

Essentially, you’ll find that many of our posts, rather than being written entirely by one author, are instead tag-team efforts in which we go back and forth, both voicing our opinions on the subject at hand.

For the time being we’re planning to blog the following shows:

• Darker than Black
• Lucky Star
• Hayate no Gotoku
• Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

We’ll also give commentary now and then on other shows that are airing depending on our interest level. Please stick us on your blogroll and drop by again, as we’ll be rolling out new posts on a fairly regular basis.
