Bethel Park Anime #21--Anime News Network

Hello to all my devoted readers! ...or my occasional viewers. Either way, you're great for taking time to look here. Leave a comment if you're reading this!

Sorry it's been so long since the last update. I went to Australia and had my wisdom teeth out, among other things. Which is why I also want to apologize for the topic of this article. It's kind of a cop-out on my part, since I don't feel like researching American "anime" and/or ComicCon, the other two topics I was working on. Instead, you get info about a place to distract yourself with until I post again.

Anime News Network is basically THE place for anime news in the English speaking world. ANN has very frequent, regular updates, and is conveniently RSS feed-able. They have columns, reviews, editorials, con reports, and more. Here are some of the more popular columns.

Spend a few days looking through ANN, and suddenly you'll find yourself a much more knowledgeable otaku.

That's all for now. More posts in the works, hopefully to be posted shortly. I recently had a very strong urge to finish all the AMVs I was working on, which resulted in two new videos, both of which can be found on the right-hand side of this webpage, under the heading "my videos".
