This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things...

Sadly, due to a massive overabundance of spam, and just not-nice people with nothing better to do than rip apart other peoples’ good work, I’ve been forced to remove the comments function.  I may bring it back someday, but in the meantime, we just don’t have AnimeBelle staffers who can devote themselves to 24-7 comment moderation.

Comments may be out, but new photos will be in shortly, courtesy of our friends at aniRAGE!  Y’all come on back now, y’hear?

Home from Metrocon!

Whew, another exhausting but fun Metrocon has come and gone!  Unfortunately, just two days after returning home, one of Pa Belle's hard drives has failed.  Photos will be coming soon, but not as soon as I was hoping for.  Also look forward to photos from our satellite photographers at aniRAGE!

Thank you once again to everyone who attended Fairytale Theater at Metrocon 2010, as well as the Metrocon staff, the AMV editors who entered their videos this year, and more!  Looking forward to seeing many of you again at EXPcon.  Y'all come on back now, y'hear?

New Content!

At long last, some new content has hit AnimeBelle, from someone other than Anna May!  In the Japanese Culture section, Ana Ikimaru has contributed some excellent articles on Japanese art and music.  Meanwhile, in the Reviews section, Zeke has written an interesting article about filler in anime.  It's not really a review, but a good conversation starter, so register and put that Comment feature to good use!

Pro Tip - You can now view all the articles within a group of categories by clicking on the parent category.  Instead of clicking on each individual sub-category, you can now just click on Japanese Culture or Reviews to see what's new!  More fun new tweaks are on the way, so y'all come on back now, y'hear?

Crisis Averted!

I was doing a little spring cleaning and oopsie daisy, the articles menu vanished!  It wasn't deleted, it just isn't displaying properly for some reason. It will be back soon, so y'all come on back now, y'hear?

Found the issue, and solved~!  But still, y'all come on back anyway now, y'hear? ^^

"It's Coming..." ...to Anime Express!

Anime Express XII is fast approaching, and AnimeBelle is teaming up with aniRAGE once again to bring you a whole weekend of entertainment.  Be sure to check out our double-sized panel room upstairs, starting immediately after Opening Ceremonies on Friday and running until Closing Ceremonies on Sunday.  In the meantime, make sure you check out this AE XII promotional video.  It's the first joint video project between AnimeBelle and aniRAGE, and also AnimeBelle's first video in HD!

To view the HD version, visit the AnimeBelle YouTube Channel, or you can view the standard definition version right here!

Announcing BELLECON 2010!

After many years in the making and much hard work, I'm proud to finally announce Bellecon 2010!  I'm incredibly excited about the guests we've lined up and the unique events on the horizon.  While I can't make firm announcements yet, we will be auditioning for cast members very soon.

AnimeBelle at Megacon

Hey y'all!  Anna May will be at Megacon for the first time today (Saturday), so if you see me, come say hi and get your photo taken!  See y'all there, and y'all come on back now, y'hear?  ^^

Results Coming Soon

The Community Poll has now closed!  Results of the poll are being tallied now, and will be shared over the upcoming weeks.  Look for lots of updates soon!  Y'all come on back now, y'hear?

Poll Time Limit Extended

Wow, March 1st kinda snuck up on me there!  I've extended the Community Research 2010 Poll for another week, to give people time to convince their friends to fill it out.  Remember, your opinions help make conventions better for you!  Data will be made public after the poll closes, so y'all come on back now, y'hear?

Introducing "Groups" Beta

Hey y'all!  In the first step toward turning AnimeBelle.com into a useful social networking tool, we've opened up a feature called Groups.  Groups function similarly to groups on FaceBook, in that members can join and subscribe to them, and group administrators can post news to them.  Make sure you click Read More to learn all about this new feature!
