As mentioned in my first post, Gotei 13 was originally a project Etherealbyte and I attempted to kick off. The purpose was to create review’s of animes we watched and provide detailed information of said animes. All in all we attempted to spark conversation, pass time and what not but as usual, laziness took over and the project was abandoned.
We did however turn out one result in our brief planning period, and that was the name of this blog. Gotei 13. It was brilliant. Unique, untaken, and more importantly, it was related to the topic at hand. It was of course Etherealbyte that first suggested the name and when I asked what it meant, i immediately smacked my forehead. Gotei 13 is the name of the 13 squads of Soul Society in the Japanese version of ‘Bleach.’ A series I have watched loyally till date.
The name itself was further refined and our sub title/heading was turned to “The 11th division Anime Review Board.” This I can with some dignity claim as my own idea. However now that I have taken over the blog; as one person I cannot review anime and survive to tell the tale. So the edits we made to the side were removed, the heading was turned to “The 11th Division Communication Board” but the title remained. The title, a symbol of my passion for anime.
So there, we have a short history lesson. Hopefully next time, ill have some stuff on instagib explaining the game concept to normal people.
