Nostalgic upload: English Pokemon CDs
June 17, 2009 by 17 Comments
Back in the day, I used to collect everything Pokemon, including the English music CDs that were released in 1999 through 2001. Recently, I grew nostalgic for these old songs and, realizing that it’s hard to come across the CDs nowadays, I decided to upload the 6 English Pokemon CDs that I have for your listening/nostalgic pleasure XD
Game review: Pokemon Platinum
March 30, 2009 by 1 Comment
Pokemon Platinum, the latest release in the line of Pokemon games and the third standard Pokemon RPG game on the Nintendo DS, following the incredibly successful Diamond and Pearl games. As with past generations of Pokemon games, once the new generation duo games are released, a third expansion version is made using the same basic story and gameplay but with a handful of new features. Platinum is the “extended version” of the Diamond and Pearl adventures, just like Yellow, Crystal, and Emerald were to their respective generations…

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…
Game review: My Pokemon Ranch

My Pokemon Ranch, the first Pokemon Wii-Ware game, available for download off the Wii Shop channel for 1,000 Wii points (about $10). Is it worth it? Well, if you have a copy of Pokemon Diamond and/or Pearl, and if you’re a Pokemon fan who likes seeing the little critters be as cute as they can be, then perhaps you should consider this simple yet totally adorable game…

Anime 2007 calendar scans!
October 29, 2006 by Leave a Comment
The four 2007 anime calendars that I had preordered from CDJapan(Bleach, Inuyasha, Pokemon, and Konjiki no Gashu Bell) arrived yesterday. And since I had nothing much to do today, I made scans of all of them and posted them on the main site ^_^ You can see all 28 of them on the Anime Import Calendar Scans page(along with all the other calendar scans I’ve posted from previous years.) Just like pretty much all anime calendars straight from Japan, the artwork on them is absolutely gorgeous! ^.^ Enjoy!
