Mainichi Catchup: Required Reading Day
So I’m heading out shortly to get going on my trip to Anime Central (don’t forget to check the list of industry panels and drop any questions you’d like me to try and get answers to), which means that except during my brief waits at the airport, I probably won’t be posting much. (Thankfully, we already know what FUNimation will announce has announced.
So here’s a required reading list to keep you distracted from work/school/chores:
- First, this excellent post at Journalista, in which Dirk Deppey talks about the growing issue of comics piracy both as it applies to manga and western comics.
- After that you can consider reading this Speed Racer review on ICv2, which says many of the things I feel, way more eloquently than I do.
- Then try out this interview with Benjamin Nugent, author of The Cool Nerd.
- For something more on-topic, how about this interview of Stan Lee (conducted by Patrick Macias) about ULTIMO? (Also, why is no one asking much about HeroMan?)
- And finally, for all you female anime/manga bloggers out there…consider joining in on an all-girls round robin, for which a topic has yet to be decided. It’s going to be awesome.
Hi there,
Thank you for the ping, Gia. And for being so cooperative and supportive with us on this round-robin. I really appreciate it. I’m actually very surprised [delightfully so] that you decided to come on board since your blog is so amazing and you seem like an incredibly busy person. I’m looking forward to getting to know you and the rest of the girls. So far 20 girls have come forth. AMAZING! New world order! I’ll be in touch soon with more information and updates.
@itsubun: Absolutely, I think it sounds like an awesome idea and I’m really looking forward to it! ^_^

[...] Gia posted a link today over to a fun sounding little get-together of female bloggers. Its aim is to get a collection of girls who run anime/manga related blogs to sign up, then respond to issues and topics voted for by the group. They word it much better than I possibly could (as I make this last minute post before running out the door) so go check it out for yourself. I and a bunch of others have already slapped our names up for participation so it should make for an interesting endeavour! [...]
mmm… fun!
Anyhow cool ROD pic, just love Yomiko.
