Anime Expo 2014 hotel reservations are now live; it’s never too early to reserve yourself a room!

We have often spoken at great length about the virtues of staying at an official convention hotel when attending an anime convention. You’re usually closer to the con (for smaller cons, the con itself is probably hosted in the hotel itself as a matter of fact – you can’t get any more convenient than that!), […]


Otaku no Podcast now supports Safari Push Notifications

Well hello there! What? Yes, it has been a while, hasn’t it? Right. So things have been, shall we say, pretty crazy at the start of 2014 for me, and as such, I haven’t had a chance to produce any content for the site. And here, one of my New Years’ resolutions was to try […]


Anime Secret Santa Review: ef – a tale of memories

In life there are but three certainties: death, taxes and late Otaku no Podcast posts. I tried, really tried, to get this post up in time for the great December 25 Anime Secret Santa reveal, but I just missed it, darn it all. At least it’s not too late!

I have spoken at length about […]


The 12 Days of Kurisumasu are back for 2013!

Well, once again, it’s holiday time, which means it’s time to hit the malls and get serious about your holiday gift buying. So how’s that going for you? Well, if you, like 99.99999% of the rest of civilization, are either (A) having trouble deciding what to buy someone, (B) procrastinating right up till the end […]


The Reverse Thieves announce the 2013 Anime Secret Santa project!

One of the many things I find annoying about the holidays is that the Gods of Retail, for whatever reason, seem to want to move Christmas earlier and earlier every year. I mean, c’mon, it isn’t even Halloween yet, it’s still beastly hot in many parts of the country, and the kiddies have only just […]


Cool Find: VLC Media Player for iOS (Updated: Also for Android too!)

Update: DJ City of TJX points out that VLC is available for Android too! Unfortunately it’s still labeled a “beta” but from what I’ve heard it works quite well. And hey, it too is free!

Greetings. First of all, yes we did go to Anime Expo, and we returned safely, albeit not in perfect health […]


Yesss! Anime Expo 2013 schedule is now available in the Guidebook app!

A few days ago, when I wrote about the availability of the Anime Expo schedules, I did my usual moaning and groaning about how Anime Expo should join the 21st century and start making their schedules available on smartphones and tablets, which more and more of us are carrying around these days — and I […]

Can’t make it to Anime Expo this year? Watch it live thanks to SimulTV!

Can’t make it to AX this year? That’s too bad. With an impressive guest roster and a huge lineup of panels and other con events, AX 2013 is shaping up to be a pretty happening event.

Well, if you can’t make it, here’s something that may take a little of the sting out of that […]

Good news if you’re planning on attending this year’s Anime Expo: the program […]
