Every year for the past four years I’ve posted scans of newly released anime calendars on my site around this time. So this year I have scans for the Haruhi and Shana 2009 calendars…
Back for the holidays (and with a pretty big update too!)
December 14, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Hey ^^ It’s been quite a while but I’m finally on vacation now and I’m ready to do some long overdue blog posts! X) Unfortunately my vacation is only 3 weeks long but since I don’t have too much planned, I’ll probably spend a good amount of time catching up on blog posts and site updates. Today I did a pretty big update on the main AnimeYume.com site, adding a bunch of new media files and pictures, so you can check that out. In addition to doing at least a couple more updates on the main site (and possibly adding new anime sections), here on the blog I’m planning to write reviews of a few fall 2008 anime series I’ve been watching, post scans of some 2009 anime calendars, and also write a couple of game reviews. Hopefully I’ll be able to cram all that into 3 weeks, so check back within the next few days! =D
Anime import calendar scans
September 9, 2008 by 1 Comment
I’ve been collecting original Japanese anime calendars for a few years now, either buying them myself or downloading the scans online. I’m just a big sucker for large, original, and gorgeous images of official anime artwork! XD As of today, I have over 150 calendar scans on my computer from 11 different anime (and I always add a few more each year). Since I started collecting the import anime calendars, I created a page on the main Anime Yume site to post them. As the years went by however, that page fell into a bit of a disarray but I finally took the time today to organize the calendar scans and to also share them here on the blog…
Nostalgia: what anime did you used to watch on TV when you were little?
September 1, 2008 by 13 Comments
It wasn’t until I became an anime fan around 1999/2000 did I find out what anime really is. However, unbeknown to myself at the time, I used to watch some anime and anime-related shows on TV back when I was a kid in elementary school, despite the fact that I didn’t have cable TV back then (and anime like Voltron, Robotech, and Kimba were before my time). Lately I’ve had a wave of nostalgia these past few days thinking about and missing some old cartoons I used to watch. So I felt like sharing four of the old anime TV shows I used to adore when I was a little kid…

Following up on my last post about the 15 best AMVs, here are 15 (plus 2 extras) of my favorite MAD movies…
The 15 best AMVs
August 16, 2008 by 20 Comments
After constantly checking out the top rated AMVs on AnimeMusicVideos.org over the past year, I feel like I’ve finally seen enough to comply a list of what I feel are the best AMVs of all. After viewing over 50 of the highest rated AMVs, I’ve managed to narrow it down to the 15 best…
What is Anime? – the Visual Definition (take two)
July 15, 2008 by 2 Comments
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…
What is Anime? – the Visual Definition
April 6, 2008 by 8 Comments
What is Anime? – the Visual Definiton is a major anime video project that I began working on in December ’07 and finally posted online this month. To give an idea of what the project is, it basically consists of 1-hour and 40-minutes of various anime opening clips from 50 different anime series’. But instead of having the opening clips play one after another, in between each clip a page of information will come up showing the anime’s title, genre, and a brief synopsis of the story and plot. My main purpose in creating this project is to promote anime to people who do not understand anime’s appeal; in other words, I’m hoping that other anime fans like myself will use it to help spread the awareness of anime’s appeal to others.
Major image update! (plus more site news)
January 4, 2008 by 3 Comments
My first post of 2008! I hope the new year is off to a good start for you all ^_^ 2007 has been a great year for anime both in Japan and the US so hopefully 2008 will be too. Unfortunately, although I’ll still watch as many new 2008 series’ as I can, I’ll have to put my sites back on hiatus soon once my classes start. But I should have time in the summer to do some site work and you can still check the About the Blogger page to see what anime I’m currently watching. But for most of the year there won’t be much activity here on the blog or the main site. Sorry about that, but I’m sure those of you who are or have been swamped with work and/or school know how it is =/ More details about my sites’ return to hiatus later, onto what’s new on Anime Yume…
Merry Christmas! (and a gift of good quality anime Xmas images)

Hey, it’s been a while. Yes, the blog is still technically on hiatus but I didn’t want Christmas to pass without me wishing my visitors a “Merry Christmas” and without doing some special post ^_^
