Can we stop with the aggressive shopping metaphors?
"BLACK FRIDAY!"
I'm not doing push-ups to buy a shirt, sir.

I am one satiated Tokyogetter.
Hope you had a real good one! Coming up soon: site re-vamp, Christmas sale, and more articles for intermixi.com .
Did anybody else see the Gurren Lagann movies in the theater? Rest assured it was a JAM. Will have a write-up for you soon!

New video I made last night and threw up. The image is from Gundam... because... well... I'm a nerd.
YAOI CON WAS AWESOME.

Now, I haven't read the comic, which has just come back from hiatus to enter it's "final phase", but Gantz is one of the few anime that just made me go "What the hell!" when I watched it. I actually traded some merchandise with a customer for it and I don't regret it for a second. Definitely a must-watch if you've got a strong stomach.
Also, keeping with my "there must be a Death Note relation" policy, Ken'ichi Matsuyama will be in this. Most probably playing a jerk.
NICE.

And I have not done a SINGLE BLOG post. Good lord! What the hell?
Well, it turns out that I was actually, you know, working and doing stuff. What was I up to? Well, I was the logistics dude for Girlgamer.com on their trip to Tokyo Game Show, and then the advisory/consultant on the remaining shoots around the town. We did some really cool color and commentary pieces around various striking and memorable hotspots where I was running around and making intros and doing translation and scouting on the spot while we shot.
The results are pretty cool, if I do say so myself. I'll let you guys know what's up... I think you'll like it.
At the same time, I was doing some work for my old friend/cult-leader Isaac at intermixi.com, which, as always, was a blast. I kept running into tour members during my jaunts in and around Tokyo. There's millions upon millions of people here, and that's who I run into! Imagine leading two tours at once!
But yeah yeah... WHAT ABOUT THE COMICS, you ask...
Well, they're here, and they are great. I have time for a few more shopping runs while I'm here so if you want something LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I've got a few orders lined up but I've still got some space here.
If yer good for it, that is. Muahaha.
LATER!

I can't front: I'm from Houston, and I've been an anime fan for a looong time.
Sure, this past year has been very slow for me as an anime fan... Since last August, I've watched Gundam 00 s1 and s2, Code Geass, Le Chavelier D'eon, Samurai 7, Macross Frontier, and Gurren Lagann, in addition to a couple of older rare boxes (City Hunter!) that I found on sale. Hardly the anime death march that I've taken in the past, but alas, life has become fairly hectic in my professional capacities as a networking nerd. I have 7 or 8 boxed sets staring at me from my couch and making me feel guilty as all can be!
Color me sentimental about the end of ADV Films, but it's true. I'm a sentimental dude... if I weren't, would I have posters and framed cells in my house?!? Granted, the catalog still exists, and the various corporate subdivisions and licensing corps that exist now are more the result of corporate restructuring to avoid debt than the "death" of a company, but I knew a lot of people over there and it was always nice to see them around. Hell, I remember Devil Hunter Yohko, OK?!?
So I could just be mourning a name, but I know I'm not. I know a lot of good, smart, talented people are out of work and in a rough situation now because of things like this. TG itself is doing alright, but we're not a for-profit thing as much as a for-fan thing... ADV was a much bigger deal.
MUCH bigger.
I wish everybody involved with the company the best of luck. And I most certainly hope I can still get my Ghost Hound boxed set!

I don't know what it says about me that I'm actually sort of bummed out about the Odaiba Gundam being taken down... but I am.
Perhaps I DO have some Peter Pan issues I need to deal with? :)
Linky and newsy.
I do think it's cool that a bunch of people I knew not only went but took pictures AND thought of me when they were there! Thanks guys!

Don’t get it twisted… we’re still here!
Hey all!
It’s been a long and crazy year for us here at TG, but yes, we are still here. Please note that our sale is STILL on, and you can STILL take advantage of the discounts that we’ve got going at Tokyogetter.com with the special code below. Yowza!
Simply enter the coupon code “recession” at checkout (no quote marks, ‘natch) and receive 30% off.
I’m currently preparing for our next big move and book shipments… what are you looking for? Prepare for total immersion!
On a more personal note, I'm really hoping to start writing more on a daily basis but it's been kinda hard for me lately on a personal level... layoffs, illnesses, breakups, people moving... and sometimes that kind of thing just prevents you from putting your best foot forward, which is what I aim to do.
I gotta say that I completely miss talking to everybody and am looking to get back in the mix more often. So if you're randomly reading this, feel free to leave a comment and let me know how you're doing. :)
