Voice Actors

A look at the seiyuu, voice actors of anime, and how they have affected the style and feel of the shows you see.

Get Technical! A look at the hardwired side of anime

A discussion of various technical issues. Wanna make your vcr dance and sing? This will be as close as you can get to technical perfectionism in AV. Wanna make your gen-lock work? This is the place to be.

Learning Japanese

At some point watching anime, everyone decides to pick up the Japanese language. Whether or not you actually do may depend on the resources you find. Here is a guide to resources for studying Japanese from scratch onwards.

The Anime Market

One of the leading men in the local anime scene, Paul Weigard, talks about his experiences in the anime industry.

CGI at home

H Gibbons, H to his friends, talks about his experiences developing animated movies for various conventions, using his home PC and software like LightWave

Fanfics and Doujinshi

What makes a fanfic fun? What if Ranma... A discussion on the joys of changing that scene just a little, and making the story the way you want it.
