Well as most of our regulars can tell the Otaku House website has gotten a huge face lift. We made the site a lot nicer and easier to navigate around. We also worked a lot on new feautures and we will be much quicker with adding new sections. As for Otaku House TV, it has been delayed because we aren’t making enough money to host it, but it will be coming. There are a lot of new tutorials online that you should check out such as how to make an AMV. Enjoy the new website and contact us for comments or questions

    Around noon, a deal was struck between General Mills and 4Kids that will put Yu-Gi-Oh! on yogurt, cereal, cereal bars, fruit snacks, and NASCAR’s #43 Dodge.

   Starz Encore Action Channel Planned to Show Hellsing Starting on October 4^th, Hellsing will be broadcast on the Encores Action channel. Rumors are circulating that it will be shown uncut since it is not on a cable channel. The Action channel will be showing 2-4 episodes each Saturday with repeats on Wednesdays. From what we can tell here at the Otaku House it will be shown in the dub format, since traditionally the Action channel doesn’t show any anime subs.

  Initial D Movie (Dub) World Premiere! Well this last weekend the Otaku House bosses were at the Initial D Movie World Premier of the dub! Turned out, that the dub wasn’t done in time but the movie was great. Ren Usami (the director of the movie) was there to introduce the movie and answer had a 30 minute question and answer panel with the audience after the film. When asked “What program was done to make the driving sequences” Usami responded “3dmax”. Great movie, and look forward to picking up the DVD.
