Android users – Schedule your Anime-LA day with ConDroyd

For last year’s Anime Expo, the staff did what I believe to be the first ever anime convention schedule smartphone app. Their iPhone app was indeed pretty cool, and there was much to like about it. Unfortunately their charging $1.99 for it (on top of all the other fee hikes associated with the convention) […]

My Anime Los Angeles schedule

Here is my Anime Los Angeles schedule. These are the things I might be interested in checking out and/or possibly get coverage for the podcast. Of course the standard disclaimers apply: I sometimes double- or even triple-book myself intentionally, the idea being that I am interested in multiple events at the same time slot and […]


Anime Los Angeles program guide is live

First of all, greetings to everyone coming to us thanks to my appearance on Leo Laporte‘s Tech Guy radio show. Thanks for your visit, and I hope you enjoy your stay, and, more importantly, come back soon 🙂

Anyway, Anime Los Angeles has made their programming guide public. I’ll be going over the schedule […]


Come see us at Anime Los Angeles next weekend!

Anime Los Angeles is a small, very friendly fan-run convention in the Los Angeles area. (Although it’s not so small any more – attendance has risen lately and is now in the low thousands I’d say) But it’s still small and friendly. We’ve written and talked about it before. Anyway, it’s coming up next […]


Secret Santa Project Review: Ah! My Goddess (TV)

When Narutaki and Hisui of the Reverse Thieves announced the return of the Anime Secret Santa project, I was elated. When I participated in last year’s event, I had a great deal of fun, watched a pretty decent series I had never heard of before, and “met” a whole bunch of cool bloggers. I […]


The 12 Days of Kurisumasu

So I was sitting around the other night after dinner, thinking of yet another method of blatantly self-promoting the various affiliate networks we’re on, when an idea hit me like a bolt out of the blue. (or maybe it was that attack of gas brought on by that super deluxe burrito? Who knows…) Why […]

Photos (and video!) from PMX 2010 (Updated)

I’ve now been back home for a little over 48 hours, but am still recovering from PMX – I’m still horrifically tired and rather sore (thanks to having to shlep my stuff halfway across creation back and forth to our hotel). At least I’m not suffering the dreaded Convention Plague of Doom (knock on wood), […]
