Bata-kun Official Site, which used to go under a few other names, is not a place where you can get fan subs, roms and such. It's just a site I put together to show my various works relating to various forms of entertainment. I feel that it's one site you have to stop by every now and then and not on a daily basis, though I do make updates often when I have the time.
The site opened back on the 28th of November, 2002. (Yes, I opened it on Thanksgiving, though at the time, I opened it shortly after "The King of Fighters's" Vice's birthday. So, really, I didn't open it on Vice's birthday because by that time, it was the 29th in Japan.) Originally, this site was created mainly to give anime and manga fans an idea of what anime series to watch and manga series to read, but it's now a site with various works I have done from reviews to articles. It doesn't matter what kind of fan you are, as you are at a place suitable for yourself. In my reviews, I will give some facts that people don't know about in their favorite series (or at least, I'll try to). If you're wondering, yes, I was a reviewer for a few other pages and I have done other tasks, making myself a real busy bee indeed.
This site used to have a lot of materials. Seeing that the previous server moved, just about everything was wiped out, but somehow, my first server still had some materials I was able to work with. Granted, some things are lost forever, but at least the core is still here. It gave me good lessons and when I do get a laptop if I do get one, the site will be really better than ever.
Don't be surprised if you see many elements you see in various sites here. I don't do this to poke fun at various people including the people in Japan who have art pages up. I do this because I highly respect those people. It is my way of giving my thanks to them who have not only given me fun back then and now still, but to others as well. It's mixing old times with new times if you want to put it that way.
Early on, I wanted to do a page of only anime and manga reviews because I guess it's that I have seen few individuals make pages of anime and manga reviews. Plus, I said that one day, I would make a page of my own. Note that these reviews give out my opinion only. If you respect my opinions, I'll respect yours. As Bill Cosby once said, "You can satisfy some people all the time, but you can never satisfy every person sometimes". I know those are not the exact words he said, but you get the idea. Simple, ne? I'm not here to really act like some cocky critic. I'm here to give a point of view and that's it.
If you don't see me bring out a review of your lovable series, it will be because of the fact that I never viewed it yet. I would like to view your favorite series too or any other series for that matter, but I can only do so much. If life is like shoujo series, especially like "Hime-chan no Ribbon", then the scenario will be different and I will like it that way. Well, my wish won't come true. That's for sure.
Now, look at it. It has evolved into the way it is. Okay! That's it for the background information. Hope you enjoyed your visit.
