Continuing again the #FanServiceFriday (#FF) trend with this lovely picture.  Today is Black Friday and many of you were prbably up earlier than this early blog post.  The anime girl in this picture didn't want to get up for the Black Friday rush and is still all cosy in bed.  She will probably just shop online this holiday season.

Hey anime fans. Ok, you guys have probably had enough with the darn Black Friday promos going on. The economy created such a fear in the hearts of retailers that they are going to great (and stupid) efforts this year to sap you of any money. One very crazy and very desperate maneuver comes from the monopoly-hungry Walmart where they plan on being open all 24 hours of Thanksgiving! My thoughts and prayers go to the workers of that and any retail location being open on a day that you should b... Read Full Story

Once again continuing the #MoeMonday (#MM) trend by posting up this wonderfully cute moe image. This is indeed an image of Haruhi Suzumiya's Yuki Nagato. More specifically it's a Neko Yuki image. Read Full Story

I was recently introduced to Mainichi Daily News. Of course I so need to get my knowledge of kanji up to speed but for those of you who can read Japanese kanji and want to read from a Japanese newspaper about anime, manga, games and other goodies straight from the Land of The Raising Sun, then the "Mantanbroad" and "Mantan Collection" iPhone apps might be good additions to your collection. Some artists involved with these apps include:Inomata Mutsumi (Tales of Series) Kozaki Yusuke&nbs... Read Full Story

Got a wonderful early Christmas present in my email a few days back. My store was given the rights to sell the official Good Smile Company/Max Factory Toho (Touhou) Project figures! That's correct, I'll be stocking the very rare Figma Reimu Hakurei and Nendoroid Marisa Kirisame figures! Much like the recent Saber Lily Good Smile Company figure, these figures will be so hard to get that even in Japan there will be slim pickings. Just one glance over at eBay and you'll notice that their pre... Read Full Story

Continuing the #MM, #MoeMonday trend this week with this very cute picture.  Make sure you use the new comment system or be cursed with moe cutness. Read Full Story

I'm a major sushi lover and I'd bet most of you are.  This wonderful iPhone app is an encyclopedia of sushi.  Sushi is very varied category of food and caters to those who either are vegetarians/vegan (sweet potato roll, avocado roll, etc), those who are fish lovers of course, those who like something fried (shrimp tempura roll) and even those who want to cheat death by eating the deadly Fugu Fish x_x Though I tend to poke fun at the disfunction that is Eastern Long Island, there ha...

For a while I have been trying to create a comment system that would be useful, display avatars, allow YouTube clips to be posted in-comment as well as the ability to reply to comments. Thankfully that came a bit easy with the Google Friend Connect comment gadget. It allows all of that as well as the ability to sign in via Google, AIM, openID and until any spam rolls in, I'll continue to allow anonymous comments too. Sadly, the old google Blogger comment system that was on the site had to ... Read Full Story

Mark 3/9/10 in your calendars my fellow US Final Fantasy fans, just got a letter from Square-Enix as well as saw a fan post on dannychoo.com about the official release date of Final Fantasy XIII.  Been waiting for the game for so long of course and as with any FF game, it probably is worth the wait.  As most of you know, it'll be on the PS3 and the Xbox 360.  I'm still going with my plan to buy the PS3..gotta watch the Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete BluRay of course...
