Moving Sucks


To all our readers who are wondering “WTF!? Where’re the contests, where’re the reviews, the recipes, the content?!!” Two words: We moved. I’ve tried my damnedest to keep up with the blog, thinking that since we only moved five minutes away to our new place that the transition would be smooth and we’d be unpacked within a week…yeah right! What was I smoking?!

Our sincerest apologies to our faithful readers who come to the site looking for our daily posts but we won’t be back up to that speed for at least another week. (but we will be back up to that speed and then some!) We haven’t disappeared or purposely slacked with the site; we plan on being around and serving up the latest and best of anime culture for a loonnnggg time!

I’ll be trying to squeeze in some writing between unpacking breaks (right now David is putting in our pots and pans rack -^b) and so will David so, please, be a wee bit patient for just a while longer. Once we’re situated in our new abode, we’ll be back up and running and we’ll have more content, more news, more reviews, more contests (can you say Garage Sale Giveaways?) than before!

Thanks for your patience and keep reading for our new and improved, action-packed content coming straight at you from Tower Grove East in STL!

*Note: Due to the fact that moving= sucks, we’ll be pushing the People’s Choice Awards for Best in Cosplay back a week. Sorry for the inconvenience and keep reading!

I was exposed to anime as a child while living in Germany after watching the Japanese version of Hans Christian Anderson’s the Little Mermaid. In high school, a classmate in art brought in Akira as an example of Japanese art. I wasn’t very impressed with anime at the time, but my re-exposure to it in 2000 thanks to Escaflowne had me hooked for life.After sorting out what I liked about anime (great stories, beautiful animation and epic battles) and disliked about anime (big boobs, angst-y 15 year-old kids, most mecha, sports stories and style-over-substance), I got into it with a vengeance.I do love almost all aspects of Japanese culture and try to be involved with it as much as possible. I have no problem admitting that I incorporate a lot of Japanese trends and traditions into my life as I modify them and make them my own. Anime is a big part of that, along with all the sub-cultures, past and present.

    Good luck with the move! We moved 7 years ago, and we still aren’t completely unpacked yet! You’ll find that boxes make great end tables…

    Julie – Thanks! We’re slowly (but surely) getting unpacked. Then at the end of the month, we’re off to cover Anime Expo! I have a feeling this summer is gonna fly by…
