Fansubs and what the R1 industry needs to do

This has been a pretty hot topic amongst the English speaking anime world lately, especially with the collapse of Geneon and with ADV barely holding on. Now I don’t know much about business, licensing, finance, etc., nor about the inner workings of US anime companies.

First major summer site update

I spent this entire past weekend working on my first major summer update on the main AnimeYume.com site. And it turned out to be one of the biggest updates I’ve done in quite a while ^_^ First of all I added two new anime sections for Lucky Star and Code Geass. I also added YouTube videos to almost all the 28 anime sections. And of course, there’s a handful of new mp3s too. So check out the main site for a complete rundown of all the new stuff. I’ll be back here on the blog with more posts soon, and I should also have at least a couple more updates on the main site before summer break ends =)

I bought this puzzle somewhere in the dealer’s hall at AX and I finally finished it today. It was definitely one of the hardest puzzles I’ve ever done, but it came out gorgeous so it was well worth it…

What is Anime? – the Visual Definition (take two)


Back in December of last year I began working on my first big anime video project. It’s not an AMV but rather it’s a movie-length compilation of 50 different anime openings along with information about each series. My intention was to use the project as a way to introduce non-anime fans to the variety of anime that exists without them having to take the time to watch a lot of episodes…
