Sorry for the lack of updates in the past few days. I even missed the weekly Anime voice actors post, too ^ ^;;. I'll have a new post ready for next week though for anyone who was wondering. I was taking more time in readying my escape from the 9-7 job with an increased movement in my anime sales. In other words, I was really busy shipping tons of extra items. I'm now making about double my job income (in only 8 hours work per week) thanks to everyone who is buying my anime figures... Read Full Story
The goal of this post is to not give away any spoilers so that I will keep my word on that. Late last night I got to see this year's number 1 movie, The Dark Knight. It sure lived up to its name and to all the hype. As I write this this movie is going down in history with a monumental load of ticket sales that will make the movie industry realize that the internet has not at all hampered sales..it has in fact created the hype needed for such sales. That's a whole other topic so on to the... Read Full Story
Ok...Now I need to seriously give myself a serious beat-down. In recent news via Anime News Network, looks like for the first time ever Viz Media is going to seriously check out fan-made work at the 2008 Comic Con International. Granted, I know gaijin artwork is not as good as authentic anime but this is still awesome news for us american otaku. In other words, if you have some good work, you can have it turned into an offical manga! I don't have any work really to give myself other than... Read Full Story
Stumbled upon this interesting gadget just recently via Engadget. Pretty cool amateur invention, looks very much like the old Nintendo Power Glove. If you could beat the learning curve of this, would you honestly find use for it? Read Full Story
Welcome to another weekly post about famous Seiyus , anime voice actors. This is just a fun little post that will hopefully surprise you to see who does the voices of your favorite characters and you might find out it's the same person for a bunch of them. This week's Seiyu is Mamoru Miyano. Mamoru was born June 8th 1983 in Saitama, Japan. He is most famous for doing the voice of Light Yagami in Death Note. Light isn't his only very popular voice though. He was also the voice... Read Full Story
Just saw some of the Microsoft keynote speech that just went on at the 2008 E3 convention. Looks as if the new dashboard coming in the fall is going to mimic the Nintendo Wii a bit with your own avatar. Are any of you excited about this new dashboard or are you like me and like the current one? Granted, some of the new feature look pretty cool. News thanks to Engadget. Read Full Story
Yesterday I was finally able to see on DVD a movie that I have not seen in it's entirety since I was only a year old in 1984. Yes, what might have been the very first movie I have ever seen in my life was Jim Henson's Dark Crystal. For any of you young otaku who haven't seen it, it is worth the watch. If I'm not mistaken, it was this movie that inspired the creators of the original Final Fantasy game and of course the later games to have the storyline follow that of a crystal of power...

E3 is not that far away and I feel that this game will probably be one of the major titles to look forward to other than FFXIII of course. The game-play in EA's Mirror's Edge really puts you in the game. This isn't the first game in the past year or so to have this realistic first person point of view but if you view the trailer below you can see just how clean and clear this game will be. Some gamers are worried that the fighting might be tough to control but I guess time will tell for... Read Full Story
I was about to end my day online but I just had to show you all this. I know, many of us otaku are very scared about the Dragon Ball movie and we are all pondering how bad Hollywood will screw it up. Lets just hope for the best though... right ^^? Anyways, in the picture you can see Bulma (top left), Goku (front and center), Chi Chi (Goku's right)..who BTW we haven't seen before this and is the better of the actor choices, I feel; Master Roshi...Chow Yun Fat, Mai(top right...

Looks like here at Chuck's Anime Shrine the site's traffic continues to grow. As of a few days back, the site's traffic has finally reached high enough where it is now viewable on the number 1 tracking site alexa.com. As of this post, chucksanimeshrine.com ranks roughly 300,000 out of all the sites on the web in traffic but this site's weekly ranking is now at 170,000 of all sites. In other words, the site is on the grow and will probably beat the 100,000 rank in the coming months. At... Read Full Story
