A guide to showing people that anime is not just porn and Pokemon
*Announcement: I apologize for the lack of new posts this week. My work schedule has been overbearing, but it will only last a few more weeks (after which, I may be jobless 0_o) So yeah, posts are going to be slow until then.

Random funny pictures
I’ve been sick the past couple of days, so I’m not up to writing an extensive post today.

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya camera rip, filmstrip video, and artbook scans
I’ve come across more goodies for the Haruhi movie, which probably won’t get a DVD release until fall at the earliest. Among other things, the long awaited camera rip for the movie is now available…
The appeal of doujin fighters
Although I don’t usually seek out doujin games, there are a few memorable ones I’ve come across over the years, especially the doujin fighters…
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is out! (here’s a sneak peek)
“The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya” (Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu) has now been officially released in Japanese theaters, with the first showing today at 8:00am JST. Current news and fan reviews are coming in via AnimeSuki and other sites. Unfortunately, it may be many months before a DVD will come out and allow those of us outside Japan to watch it. So for those of you who have not read the novel and want to find out at least a little of what happens in the story, I’ve complied a “sneak peek” on this post…
Merry Christmas from Mainichi Anime Yume!
