Some of us may be thinking about joining a gym, eating healthier or quitting smoking. Others might be planning to blog more, party less, or to take up a new hobby. There will be resolutions drawn up, lists being made, and plans formulated for a brighter 2008.

When you’re plotting the direction you plan to go in the upcoming year, does anime factor in to it? Will you be planning to watch more anime or less? Spend more money on merchandise and DVDs or choose to invest in manga this year?

What changes in your anime habits do you plan on making? Watch more anime with friends, win new converts to the medium or are you walking away from anime in ‘08?

Do you have lists of series you need to catch up on? Are you going to watch the dubious anime recommendations you’ve been putting off for so long?

My resolutions are:

• To finish all the series I started in 2007 by my first anime con, which will be in May.
• Reviewing more manga and Japanese snacks.
• Do more with the site and post more about Japanese culture including cuisine, fashion, and hopefully, music.

Here’s hoping we can all do more in 2008 of what we love to do most; watch anime and read manga!!

I encourage everyone to share their anime/manga 2008 New Year’s resolutions for posterities sake. They’ll still be posted on the site in 2009 so you can check back and see if you’ve accomplished everything you wanted to!!
