Well, it's been another 20,000 hits for the Sailor Moon Episode Center. This site's been around for a year and a half or so, through constant revamps and changes, through a big move from Geocities to KF.net, through giant overhauls, flames, and praises. The SMEC has survived it all, and so have I.

I've been through a lot in the past few months, more than anyone knows. From bad grades to a rather interesting relationship, from pain and struggle and torment, and hard decisions, I've been through a lot. And it's been hard, and painful. Daily, I face struggles within myself. Life used to seem so simple, but everything has changed now.

However, there's a few rocks in my life. A few things that will always be there, that I always care about. One is my family. Two are my friends. Three is music. And Four, believe it or not, is my websites, especially this one. The SMEC is my most popular site, my oldest site still being updated (the BSSMC is going static :P), the one I've put the most work into. It means so much to me, hopefully you can all see that.

And so, this arigato! doesn't go out to Naoko-sama, or to Pioneer, or to CWi, or any of them. Sailor Moon is off the air right now, it's done being dubbed (most likely), the show itself has been over for 4 years now in Japan. No, this arigato isn't for any of the creators, or dubbers or networks.

No. This arigato is for you. All of you reading this. All of the devoted Sailor Moon fans, all of the devoted SMEC fans. All of you who've put up with my inconsistent updating, my sloppy coding, and my ranting (on my main site LINK). You've still come back...it's just amazing, seriously, that you'd come back after all of this. The site's up to 75000 now! (Oct 9) 75,000! Even after all of this! Even after the TV show, and the comic, are over! You guys are simply amazing!

So, once more, with all of my heart, I say, thank you, with as much gratitude as I can muster. With your help, this site will survive, will grow, will live on in the memory of the Sailormoon web community. With you, I will continue fighting, and like the flame I will arise. We'll stand tall together.

One more time, thank you.

back home.
