I produce this show out of my own pocket, primarily because of my love of all things anime and Japan. Unfortunately in this down economy, I need as much help as I can get. If you feel so inclined, a small donation to help offset my costs (server, bandwidth, equipment, etc.) would be much appreciated. Either make a purchase through one of our affiliates, bid on our eBay auctions, buy me something on my wish list, or use the handy donation button below.

I can’t believe I forgot about this. Turns out that A-LA is taking place at the same time as the ginormous Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Which is heavily attended by geeks. Who tend to use Web 2.0 and social media (such as Twitter, Facebook, and AudioBoo) to their fullest. And when these Web 2.0 sites […]
OK, I’ve started blocking out my time at Anime LA. Obviously, anime conventions, human frailties, etc. being the way they are, I might not make it to all the events I’ve called out, but I’ll do my best. And of course I’ll do my best to get plenty of audio, photos, and videos to share […]
FYI, the draft event schedules for Anime Los Angeles, as well as the anime video room schedule, are now online. Cosplay gathering schedule coming soon, and of course being a draft schedule, all of this is very much open to change, so do check back often.
Update: 01/05/2010: A restaurant guide (PDF) is now online. […]
Okonomiyaki is a Japanese food best described as a sort of Japanese pancake (or perhaps omelette), with various other ingredients (meats, seafood, vegetables, cheese, etc.) mixed in. It may be difficult to type, but it’s pretty darn tasty. Like many other Japanese dishes, it is enjoyed throughout the country, and each region has its own […]
All right, I’ll admit it. I have absolutely no artistic talent whatsoever. For ample evidence of this, just take a look at my podcast logo. First of all, it’s not even mine – I based it off of two pieces I found online (Creative Commons licensed, don’t worry). Not only that, but it’s not even […]
In Japan, one of the traditional activities undertaken by families at the start of the New Year is a thorough cleaning of the home. This is seen as symbolic in the sense that you are sweeping away the junk and detritus of the old year, to start the new year in a fresh and clean […]
On January 28, 1986, a stunned America watched helplessly as the Space Shuttle Challenger disintegrated 73 seconds after liftoff. I was a grade school student at the time, and I remember that this disaster hit us particularly hard due to the presence of Christa McAuliffe, the first member of the Teacher in Space Project, […]
No, unfortunately, this isn’t Part 2 of “Anime on the Cheap” that I’ve been promising. Things have been just too hectic and I haven’t been able to finish the research for this. However, I think you’ll like this just the same. Think of it as a special Winter Holiday Season present from us to you.
