I just found out about this, because I haven't been hanging around the anime sites so much in recent months. But since the first anniversary is approaching of the Japan earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown, a bunch of anime voice actors and others are doing a livestreaming fundraising event. I guess they raised $30,000 to send as support, and ( Read more... )

What I love about anime is that even in the midst of some truly silly stories or episodes, germs of some equally interesting -- even captivating -- stories lie. And one of those anime series that is a real mix of silliness and intrigue is The Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok. (What a mouthful!)

Yes, as many anime series do, it has a silly premise.

( What I'm thinking, about Loki )

Has everyone seen it now? It's been on FUNimation's video portal, and on most of their video partners, all day now.

What do you think?? I want to hear!

I absolutely loved it myself. Wheeee!

Of course, it took two bloody HOURS to watch it, since I have an old computer, an it had to "buffer" for 5-20 seconds before every 5-7 second spurt I could watch. ( Read more... )

Actually, it's not me (I?) who needs help, it's ljmouse, one of those who runs the Firefox News fandom site. (For which I myself also happen to write articles.)

No, don't panic. Heehee! This is about an anime series that's currently being shown on Friday evenings, on Canada's YTV channel.

That series is Death Note.

I love all sorts of series -- my favourites being Fullmetal Alchemist, Gundam Wing (the first anime series I ever saw), and the two Gundam Seed series. But there's something about Death Note ( Read more... )

Woo! As of yesterday, I'm one of the Anime Reporters on the fandom news site, Firefox News. And here's my first article: Free Anime Episode Downloads at Amazon Unbox - But Hurry!

I'm not the reviewer of episodes or series, though. I'll be doing the more company-oriented stuff like which company is releasing which series when, and what's new with ( Read more... )

Yaaaaay! Ahem. That's what I thought yesterday when I woke up: "Hey! I don't have to go to the hospital today!"

And I don't have to feel really icky today. Plus I'm not losing 30% of my paycheque! Win-win-win-win, woo!

Yeah, yeah, we'll still be monitoring, blah blah blah. But for now, things are peachy.

And I got to watch some of the Anime-on- ( Read more... )

I'm very pleased with today's productivity. The funny thing is, I haven't done anything I'm "supposed" to be doing. (e.g. working on the carn sarned book proposal!!) But I've done some more work on chapter 6 of my fanfic, Apotheosis, which has not been going quickly, so I'm pleased with that. And I tweaked and uploaded (to fanfiction.net) six more ( Read more... )
