I first discovered Anime Dream while searching the internet for English-language reviews of Anime soundtracks. Very few internet sites ever bothered to cover that side of the market, so finding one that took the music of anime seriously was quite exciting. Granted, way back then I had no way of knowing that I would end up contributing many different reviews to the site as the Music Editor, but looking back now I see that I have been writing for the site for a much longer time than I spent as a reader only. During my years writing for the site I learned a lot, met some cool people, and discovered a lot of great music (both through recommendations from Matt and reviewers before me, and from hunting high and low for new CDs to review for the site). It was a good run, and I feel that all of us who contributed to the Dream can be proud of our work and what we accomplished.
