Just to say I’m stopping Weekly Highlights because they’ve become just as much of a burden as episodic blogging. I’ll try to finish of Toradora, but after that, nothing regular will be popping up every week. Though everyone loves sporadic meta-blogging.

Not me!
I care because you do.
No, really, I do care, it was a good little segment. Maybe you could try… Fortnightly Highlights. Still regular, but not quite as big a burden.
Just post those Highlights when you feel like it! Less pressure, more fun(?). Something with “weekly” (or whatever word that denotes regularity) attached to it will be pretty burdensome because you’ll eventually find yourself being obliged to do something, and doing something merely out of obligation = no fun, so yeah.
You could just remove the “Weekly” part of it. I enjoy highlight posts a lot because they point me towards shows I’m missing out on.
“The Occasional Highlight” might go towards easing some of that burden, like what everyone here’s said.
yeah… i planned to have a weekly review too and gave up after one week. i think. just write whenever you feel like it.
Hey hey, I hate the metablogging and loved your Weekly Highlights. But I agree with usagijen that you shouldn’t put yourself under pressure. “Fortnightly Highlights” also sounds brilliant. 😉
No point continuing if you don’t want to. Just write what you want to write. My weekly highlights will still continue because no one reads them and also they seem to be fun in a way.
I enjoyed the Weekly Highlights myself as well, but if it’s not what you want you do, than it’s cool.
Now that that’s over with, the top pic looks like it’s from a manga. Is that the case? 😛

Post whenever the hell you feel like it, that’s my motto :p
@Baka-Raptor
You know you love it.
@Sorrow-kun
I’ll just shift it to random highlights which crop up every now and again. Like anitations or Ani-nouto only much worse.
@usagijen
Damn you time constraints! But yeah, you’re right, there’s always good posts that need highlighting.
@schneider
Hmm, given me an idea for those gems that are inexplicably unnoticed in anime. Like digiboy’s Top 20 Shows You Suck For Not Watching, only less irritating.
@Owen_S
Done and done.
@biankita
I went for arond 8 weeks \ 0 /.
@Sasa
Hmm, I always thought comments = likability, so I thought no-one liked ’em :s
@Emperor J
Hey hey, I read them most of the time. I may even zomg leave a comment now and again :p
@TheBigN
Yeah, but it was on 4chan so good luck finding it.
@nazarielle
But then how can I pander to my audience D:?
and here i am …trying to stalk you…XD
hey, or I could register you an account in anitations and you could blurb occasionally there?
@nogizaka
Not to be offensive or anything, but where the hell did you come from?
@lelangir
That’s a thought, we must keep anitations alive! I’d be glad to.
