Hi Everyone,

There wasn’t a new AP episode last week, and there won’t be one for the next couple weeks either. The reason? My wife gave birth to my son last Friday. So welcome the son of Ichigo :-)

Anime might seem an entirely different world from online roulette games on the surface but more and more casino and gambling themes are popping up in anime, including several series where gambling plays a very central role. Chalk it up to basic human nature and a penchant for taking a risk and trusting in fate and fortune to provide, but it’s very likely that we’ll continue to see various anime incorporate a wide range of gambling themes, especially since it appeals to the same young, hip audience that gravitates to anime and manga.

The New York Anime Festival and New York Comic Con 2011 was October 14-16 this year at the Javits Center.  The attendance was up significantly compared to previous years.  This year might have had the largest attendance in the past 4 years.

But while the attendance was up and the size was larger, the Anime Festival portion of the show was smaller than it had been in previous years.  If fact it was pushed up into an attic-like section of the convention center that it could be said few knew it existed.  It also only seemed to consist of the Artist Alley.  At the same time many of the vendors that would have attended the Anime Festival had it been a separate show like it had it years past, would have also attended Comic Con.

As can be seen in the pictures the sizes of the booths and creativity was also up compared to previous years.  More game testing, competitions, and free giveaways than ever.  Manga and Anime was mixed through out the Comic Con floor.  So while the two shows have mixed together to the point where it could just be called the New York Comic Con, anime is not shrinking, but just falling under the umbrella of Comic Con.

Hit reality series 2NE1tv LIVE: WORLDWIDE – starring the phenomenal K-pop girl band 2NE1 (pronounced “twenty-one”) – is coming to the U.S. with the new season’s world premiere on Mnet. The leading 24/7 English-language network in the U.S. devoted to Asian pop culture will air the series, which follows the four members of the group as they live together while recording a new record, each Sunday night in primetime, beginning with the world premiere on July 17 at 8pm ET/PT, with an encore presentation the following Saturday (July 23) at 8pm ET/PT. The series will air for a total of ten weeks with over twenty half hour episodes.

For those of you who haven’t heard of them, 2NE1 is a South Korean group that debuted in 2009 with a number of singles and released their first album in 2010. Their songs have consistently hit the top of various music charts and they’ve received Mutizen, Cyworld and Asia Song Festival awards.

Although their name is “2NE1″ it’s not pronounced “To anyone”. According to the group’s members it means “New Evolution of the 21st Century”. Their music style ranges from pop to hip-hip to reggae to electronic dance, so there’s something for everyone.

Check out their facebook site here, and until the 17th, here’s a little taste.

Many of us have undoubtedly at one point or another wished ill for our employers. Such was the case for a twenty-nine year old Elementary teacher in Yokohama’s Tsurumi-ku. This teacher took out his frustrations by writing blogs on the Internet. In said blogs the teacher stated that he wanted to kill the Vice-Principal of his school. He also stated,  ”If a teacher is murdered, it will be me who’s responsible, for certain.” Read more>>

Forty-Nine year old Tadashi Usami was found dead in an empty swimming pool around six-twenty A.M. on Thursday Morning. His body was found face down in the pool of a residential neighborhood. Police believe that Usami was on his way home to his hotel when he stumbled into the back yard believing this was his home. Having been drinking for most of the evening with a colleague near JR Ebisu station, Usami being extremely intoxicated was unable to tell the difference between this house and his hotel. Alcohol is believed to be the main factor. Foul play is not suspected.
