After checking out the first two videos of AnimeTV, I have to say that it looks like it has potential. There hasn’t been any industry authorized show like this yet, so if it were to be brought to actual television, I have a feeling it would do pretty good. I doubt it would become as immensely popular as an actual hit anime show like Naruto or Bleach, but I think it would do good among mainstream American fans.

YouTube, fansubs, and other “copyright infringements”


The whole issue about YouTube and its copyright infringement policies has always been a big topic among anime fans, and now even more so because of Google taking over YouTube.

Happy Valentine’s Day, from Mainichi Anime Yume! I don’t have a Valentine, LOL, so it’s just another day for me, but you gotta have some appreciation for The Day of Love, ne?

“Love – a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker.”

Mushishi review


I was a little late with watching Mushishi but I’m glad I decided to add it to my list of anime to watch. I just finished the last episode a few days ago and, surprisingly, for a series that remains basically the same throughout all of its 26 episodes, it was one of the best I’ve seen in a while.
