I try to enable comments on all non-episode summary posts, but I might just expand that. It’s something to think about. The main reason for disabling them on episode summary posts is to avoid anyone posting spoilers. However, I have such a backlog of “episode commentary” posts (enough for me to take a vacation through December before running out of posts) that I generally finish writing commentary for a series before I get the first episode’s commentary posted.

The episode commentaries are easy to write as it’s putting my thoughts and speculations to words. The Princess Tutu ones are much more work as I’m ensuring I’ve correctly identified every piece of music in an episode, am referring to the offician Japanese handbooks to see if I missed anything, and am adding screenshots to make it visually easy to say, “Okay, this scene has that music, I see,” when looking at the page.

The Cardcaptor Sakura posts will be even more work, but those will be “living” posts, posts which may be updating randomly over time to increase what they have in them.

Once I get all of this sorted out, I might modify the feeds linked to on the main page to “Site-Related Posts”, “My Thoughts/Comments I Posted Elsewhere”, “Episode Commentary Posts”, “Japanese Language-Related Posts”, so someone can catch posts without having to sift through the signal-to-noise ratio of high noise (episode commentaries).

I do thank you for your original post, as well, as it put me to the thought of de-emphasising the episode commentaries, which puts a better signal-to-noise ratio on the main page. I’ve been wondering for a while how to handle my non-episode commentary posts being bumped off the top post slot after a day or two, and off the main page completely within two weeks. (Case in point: I’ve had a Janggeum’s Dream episode summary post recently.) I like the way I’m doing it now.

Man, I really do seem to write only long comments, as someone mentioned to me (in a good way).
