VIZ sent out a press release last night announcing that they’re going to work with Greg Oden (left)– who happens to be a member of my home team, the Portland Trailblazers –to promote literacy. They’ll be donating copies of their upcoming release of Takehiko Inoue’s classic basketball manga Slam Dunk to Oden’s charity of choice, Oregon Mentors.
Oden will be joined by a pair of the Los Angeles Laker Girls at San Diego Comic Con for autographs and fan-greeting, as well as early copies of Slam Dunk.

I’m not going to fool myself into thinking y’all don’t follow plenty of other anime blogs, so here’s the quickie version. Now that my current major deadlines are over and I seem to be seeing the light on this cold, I should be back on track. ♥
Lots of live-action (including some yaoi)
World Cosplay Summit is Go!
Some fall anime start dates are starting to pour in.
Interviews with Arina Tanemura and Takehiko Inoue are up.
OMG! NPR on AMVs! WTF?
The most expensive t-shirt EVAR?
TOKYOPOP + Hollywood talent agency = Ack!
Gurren Lagann MMO goes down the tubes (or rather, we finally hear why)
Manga, iPhones, etc.
Aaand a website for Blue Drop has opened, along with one for the upcoming ‘net anime Saishuu Shiken Kujira.
I think that’s about everything, but if I missed something I’ll just post it separately, I guess. ♥
