How to subscribe to Otaku no Podcast using Apple’s new Podcasts app in iOS 5 and iOS 6

At their Worldwide Developers conference last month, Apple announced the next version of its mobile operating system, iOS 6. One change in iOS 6 is that podcasts will be removed from the iTunes Music app, and will be broken off into their own app.

Apple recently released their Podcasts app. It is compatible with all […]


Anime Expo 2012, Day 4: Seriously wounded, but the soul still burns

Fair warning: this post is going to be very light on news (even more so than yesterday’s), since (as predicted) we didn’t go to any events today, other than the charity auction and closing ceremonies. So this blog post will consist of mostly me summarizing our weekend here at AX, and pulling various opinions out […]


Anime Expo 2012, Day 3: It’s cosplay, deal with it!

Not a whole lot to report today. We didn’t really go to any panels. The day was spent mostly wandering around the (Xbox huge) dealer’s hall and artist’s alley, and attending Masquerade. So today’s post will consist of mostly miscallany.

I’m sure I’ve missed tons of industry announcements, even at the panels that we went […]


Anime Expo 2012, Day 2: Circling the drain

Note: the same grammar/typo/accuracy disclaimer from yesterday’s update also applies here. Didn’t take any notes, so my only reference is a log of my liveblog, which can be somewhat hard to follow at times (even for me, and I wrote the darn thing).

Attending an anime con usually involves a certain level of Con Drama™. […]


Anime Expo 2012, Day 1: Let’s do the time warp again

Before we start, I’d like to apologize for any factual errors as well as grammatical errors/typos. It’s been a long day and I’m way too tired to do anything but a cursory look-over of this post.

Day 1 got off to a promising start – I actually managed to get out of bed before half […]


Anime Expo 2012, Day 0: And so it begins…

The best laid plans of mice and men… or so the old saying goes. We’d planned on arriving in Los Angeles sometime in the early afternoon so that we could leisurely pick up our press badges and catch at least some of the press conferences; but alas, it was not to be, thanks to a […]


Got any questions for the Anime Expo 2012 Guests of Honor? Ask ’em!

We’re now only 1 week away from Anime Expo (AIEEEEEEE!!!). Yeah, I know, I haven’t even finished up with FanimeCon stuff yet (quickly looks away to avoid accusing glares from certain bloggers). (although I really, really hope to be finished by this weekend.) You can blame my work – in order for my overlords to […]


Cool Find: The Shazam App tells you what music you’re listening to

One of my favorite events at any anime convention I go to is the AMV contest, where creators cut together videos consisting of their favorite anime set to music. Usually the videos try and convey some sort of story, and are generally categorized into various themes (drama, comedy, action, etc.). Often, AMV contests are a […]


The FanimeCon 2012 Cosfest Post of Doom! (including pictures!)

Yes folks, it’s true: I’ve actually begun going through my FanimeCon pics! (See, I’m really trying to overcome this whole inertia thing…)

Unfortunately going through them is going to take a while. I vowed to try and be more judicious in the use of the shutter button, but failed miserably – I ended up with […]


FanimeCon 2012 AMV Contest Finalists and Winners (Updated)

OK, it appears as though the AMVs that were shown at this year’s FanimeCon have started hitting the org, so I figure now’s as good a time as any to post about it…

Overall there were some amazing videos this year, and aside from the usual technical glitches (c’mon people, just burn a frakkin’ DVD […]
