B Gata H Kei is one of the titles that’s part of the Spring 2010 anime lineup I wrote about a while ago. I honestly didn’t really have any interest in following the series, but for the hell of it, downloaded one episode. Then downloaded the next one when it came out. And so on. […]
A while ago I wrote about the (then new) Crunchyroll app for the iPhone and iPod touch, with a note saying that they were working on an iPad app that would be out soon. Well great news – the Crunchyroll app for the iPad is finally here! This one kinda slipped in under my radar, […]
Sad news today for American anime fans. Anime News Network is reporting that Carl Macek has passed away on Saturday due to a heart attack. Mr. Macek is best known, of course, for producing the 1980s hit Robotech – an English dubbed and edited compilation of three seemingly unrelated Japanese anime series: The Super Dimension […]

First, there was the story of the increased popularity of the Washimiya, Saitama area of Japan (and in particular the Washinomiya Shrine located there) because of the fact that much of the anime “Lucky Star” is based in that area. Now comes word of the latest real-life-spot-turned-otaku-mecca, Toyosato High School in Shiga Prefecture. What? Not […]
Boxee is one of my favorite media center applications. Available for the Mac, Windows, Linux, and AppleTV, Boxee presents an excellent “10-foot interface” ideal for use on a Media Center computer – that is, a computer hooked up to a large-screen TV, projector, etc. It makes it really easy to watch/listen to your movies, TV […]
Psst! Hey… wanna go to Japan? I know you do! So listen up!
