| 9:16pm | Publishers ‘vs’ Fans | | | | Erica, over at Okazu has posted an interesting post. I disagree with her choice of title, since after reading it through several times, I don’t see what she write as the truth. Rather it’s the truth from her perspective as a small publisher.

| 5:57pm | Full Summer Anime Preview -- staff, cast, trailers, pics, stories | | | | For me, the best way to guess how good a coming anime will be, is by looking at its staff: the director and writers and animation director and sound director, and so on.
