Between Apple itself and Verizon’s latest mapping parody, we’re all familiar with the phrase “There’s an app for that.” Well, don’t leave anime out!

Tokyo Anime Fair

When you see a never ending line of Otaku marching toward an exhibition gate, a press pass is priceless. But even after bypassing this dragon's tail, I was immediately submerged in a wave of anime fans as I waded into the exhibition hall.   

Attention aspiring film makers and writers. Here is your chance to put your creative talents to work. The grand prize: your work will be debuted at the world premiere of Kai-Ki: Tales of Terror From Tokyo at Club Nokia on July 1, 2010. 

Okazaki and I

Who doesn’t know Afro Samurai? That is the question. The sheer coolness of our afro-enhanced protagonist and his number one headband perhaps even rivals that of Steve McQueen. At least that’s what the ratings of the man channel, i.e. Spike TV, suggest.

X Japan

Anime Central is excited to present the world premiere of "YOSHIKI history through X JAPAN".

FUNimation

FUNimation and NAMCO BANDAI announce the latest Dragon Ball release for the PSP.

Viz Anime

This week Viz announced the launch of Viz Anime, a new web destination that will stream your favorite Viz titles for free! That’s right: Bleach, Death Note, Naruto, Honey & Clover, etc.  And with new episodes being added each week, they indeed have the answer to your Otaku lust! 

Giant Killing

Giant Killing did have a high profile at this year’s Tokyo Anime Fair. The buzz was humming around this new soccer-centric series. I think it’s definitely worth a look!

Magikano

Haruo Yoshikawa is not an exciting guy. In fact, the only thing he excels at is being average! School, family, social life, it’s all one big daily rut. Nevertheless – in true anime style – all that comes to a screeching halt when Ayumi comes riding into town on her broom. Yes, I said broom! This Lolita is a witch. 

Bandai

Direct from the New York Anime Festival, here is the latest blurb from BANDAI regarding Lucky Star manga and other anime titles.
