• Hi, I'm involved with a new venture called Anime Sols (http://animesols.com), which is using crowdfunding to release DVD box sets of classic Japanese anime series subtitled in English, while streaming the episodes for you to try out. We've funded 7 sets so far, with two in the manufacturing stage for release very soon.

• One that's currently funding is a set of three TV specials that Osamu Tezuka produced for the yearly charity drive 24 Hour TV in the early '80s. They're all good sci-fi fantasy stories, and two of them star literal anthropomorphic animals, so I want to make sure furry/catgirl fans who might enjoy these films get the chance to watch and own them.

• Baggy(usually known under the spelling "Bagi") is about a cat who develops human-like walking, speech and intelligence, and her quest to find out her origins. Part 1 of 3 at this link: http://animesols.com/videos/220

• Bremen 4 is a modern sci-fi re-imagining of the classic tale "Bremen Town Musicians", in which the four animals use alien technology to turn into humans for part of the story. It's fun to see how they use their different skills as humans and animals to solve problems! Part 1 of 3 here: http://animesols.com/videos/149

• If you like what you see and want to help fund the DVD release, look on the right side of the page to see the various pledge packages. You can go as low as a $5 Booster for simple support, $30 for a Core package that includes the DVD boxset, and even higher for DVD sets that include other bonus extras.

• The pledge drive for this set ends 10 PM EST on Friday Dec. 13, so if you'd like this to succeed, please help by spreading the word! Unfortunately only US & Canadian ISPs are able to watch the videos and make pledges, but if you live outside of North America, a furry friend living there might be able to help

• I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!

UPDATE: Turns out, it wasn't the voice actor that died, just a guy with the exact same name.

Christopher Evans Welch, the original voice actor for Miles "Tails" Prower from the "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" TV series, passed on earlier this week.

The voice over artist died in an L.A. hospital following a short illness. He was 48 years old.

His work as Tails was his first ever TV role, starting in 1993. His later film credits include the narrator in Woody Allen's "Vicky Cristina Barcelona", as well as roles in "Synecdoche", "NY" and Sydney Pollack's "The Interpreter".

Prior to his death he was shooting a role in the upcoming HBO series "Silicon Valley".

So I just discovered Kyell Gold has several of his books up on Audible. I just finished Bridges, Out of Position, and my favorite so far, Green Fairy.

Does anyone have other good published authors I should check out? Not just audio books of course, but ebooks are a plus.

Lots of fandom folks (anime, furry, science fiction and otherwise) got excited this fall with the news that the team behind Cowboy BeBop had created a new, openly-silly science fiction anime called Space Dandy.  The teaser trailer started making the rounds on YouTube. Well now comes even better news: Thanks to the efforts of Funimation, Space Dandy will be the first ever anime to premier in Japan and dubbed on American TV, simultaneously. It’ll be part of Adult Swim’s Toonami collection. Here’s what the producers say: “Space Dandy is a dandy in space! This dreamy adventurer with a to-die-for pompadour travels across the galaxy in search of aliens no one has ever laid eyes on. Each new species he discovers earns him a hefty reward, but this dandy has to be quick on his feet because it’s first come – first served! Accompanied by his sidekicks, a rundown robot named QT and Meow the cat-looking space alien, Dandy bravely explores unknown worlds inhabited by a variety of aliens.” According to the folks at Cartoon Brew, “Anime auteur Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo) heads up the direction of Space Dandy which is produced by Japanese animation studio Bones and written by Keiko Nobumoto (Wolf’s Rain, Cowboy Bebop, Macross Plus), Dai Sato (Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Eureka 7, Ergo Proxy) and Kimiko Ueno (Crayon Shin-chan).” Check out the new trailer on YouTube now!

It seems like over the past week or so I've been either talking about Persona, hearing about Persona, or thinking about Persona. With that in mind, it's fitting that I'm here to write up another story regarding the beloved franchise, and luckily for everyone involved it's some positive news. Persona 4 Golden for the Playstation Vita has sold over 700,000 units worldwide!

While it may not seem like a lot in the context of AAA titles like Call of Duty who sell millions of units in a day, most ATLUS games are consider an amazing success if they break half a million. They already did so with Persona 4 for the PS2, and now they've done it again for the Vita.

ATLUS is celebrating this by discounting the digital version in the japanese Playstatino Store, but sadly there's no news about a similar price drop on the english version.

I'll leave this by saying that if you haven't played Persona 4 before and your a big fan of JRPGs, it's well worth it. Even if you're not a huge fan, there's still much to love with the story and characters. I reccomend to everyone.

Have you played P4 or P4G before? If so, what did you think about it? If not, any reason that you haven't picked it up yet?

Im 14 a male and I have been into this fandom for a while. I know this the community is very welcoming and accepting of all people so I am hoping that its not a big deal. I just realized that I am pretty young in this group of people and hoping it wasn't a big deal. Please let me know in the comments of what you think. Thanx!

Lastest suit design being called out for being "stolen".

I'm being human here, so, yes, I'm frustrated and resisting the urge to say some less than stellar things.

Why is there such a huge victim/call-out/YOU STOLE THING complex in the fandom? As someone who worked hard on her work, it's disheartening to see these accusations.

I did put up a neutral, informative rebuttal, but, seriously... why?

Not stolen, and here's why:
