Picks of the Week (DVD/Blu-ray)


“Sekirei” series back for a second season!

Sekirei is a fun series – nothing special, but fun to watch… and it has plenty of “eye candy,” if you catch my drift. If you’re interested, you can watch for yourself thanks to the fansubs.

The only problem was that its ending left… umm… much to be desired. Like most series derived from manga, […]


“Japan Girls Nite” coming to LA & San Francisco this week/weekend!

Full list of dates and shows after the “read more” link.

Enjoy FREE access to premium Anime Network content all day this coming Monday!

Apparently this coming Monday is “Lazy Day,” a national celebration commemorating… well, laziness. Although I can’t find any mention of this in any online resource. Still, any excuse to celebrate laziness is fine with me! (Edit: I was able to find one page explaining this holiday.)

But you may want to make one exception in […]

The police issued a warrant for Sakai’s arrest on Friday after they reportedly found stimulants […]

The New York International Childrens’ Film Festival announced that it will be hosting a special advance screening of the film at the city’s […]


San Diego Comic-Con is Here!

I can’t believe that it’s that time already. Yes, that awesomely huge comic convention, Comic-Con, is set to rock the San Diego Convention Center this Thursday through Sunday, July 23-26, with a special Preview Night on Wednesday, July 22. But if you’ve procrastinated up till now hoping that you could get in at the last […]


Episode #0007 – FanimeCon 2009 Review

Here it is, the special mid-week episode I promised containing my review of FanimeCon 2009. In short: It’s the perfect compromise between huge mega-con and small local fan-run con, and I liked it. A lot. We also go over some news, including, yes, some more Weird Japan. No picks this week, but I think you’ll […]
