Site down

2006-08-12T12:41:59Z

Yes the front page and forums seem to be down, I am sure the team are working on it as we speak....or not as they are probably all at amecon.

Oh well go post HERE or something.

Proposal of an LJ Fandom Convention

2006-07-05T18:26:24Z

I'm gauging interest in a multi-fandom convention aimed at Livejournal users to be held in 2008 in the UK. It'll be a great opportunity to meet your f-list and perhaps find a few new friends to add. I've set up a poll in my journal for people to express whether or not they're interested and in what. You can fill it in here. There's also a community set-up for even more polls so that people who want to attend can give their input. You can visit it at eljayuk.

Crossposted around so apologies if you see it more than once which you're likely to if you're in more than one fandom!

Livejournal feed

2006-06-07T17:06:59Z

Well the 5 other people who watch the RSS feed for the site will have just had their friends list spammed up with article after article, so I thought an explanation should be in order.

When we moved the location we were storing the blog data, we didn't make a new RSS feed for it. A new one has been made now, and the address for the syndicated account changed. So this sudden burst has been LJ repropogating the account from the new feed.

For those who don't have the account and want to know the rare occasions we've actually updated the front page it is animeenglandrss

And if you want to get it updated more frequently, then PM me on the forum with an article, and we will get it up there.

And for those who didn't even know we had a front page it can be found at either of these 2 addresses:

Hello there

2006-05-30T06:49:06Z

Heyas! New person here

I'm a anime fan from 'North Wheezy' (mind my slang, and im not telling you where!) and have been since i saw Pokemon and Sailor Moon on German TV when i was nine. I was wondering if there were any Gankutsuou fans in the UK. There seems to be alot of Narutards and closet anime fans, but no Ganky fans. I seem to be like the only Gankutsuou fan in London *sob*

Can anyone tell me where you can get any copies of the Gankutsuou manga in London? (I know about Japan Centre, but they sell in Japan prices aswell.)

Thanks! and anyone going to the next London Expo?

Hey

2006-04-20T17:36:26Z

Hey im kinda newish, been a member of anime.england.net on the website for a year or so but only just got livejournal. Anyhoo, im from sutton coldfield and am a park warden/ranger trainee after going to uni and studying geography. I like reading manga the most (fruits basket, neon genesis and battle royale are my favourites. Apart from manga and anime i love rock music, deftones, system of a down and disturbed in particular, aswell as the playstation 2 (currently waiting for the ps3)!. I used to be into kung fu alot, but cycle touring has taken over (hope to do some sections of the tour de france circuit in the future) Hope to hear from cool dudes in bham, and hope to make some meetings, ive yet to go to one, :(. I hear there's a good atmos! Rachaelx (kaori_uk on anime.england.net).

Hi, I'm new.

2006-04-18T23:43:56Z

I'm from Coventry, which is pretty much dead in the centre of England for those of you who don't know. It's right next to Birmingham. A local bookstore has very recently started holding 'manga club evenings' but they really aren't all that great, and, seeing as all my friends think that cartoons are for children, I've finally turned to LiveJournal.

I'm female and almost 17 now. I go by the name Tori and I have been reading manga and watching anime solidly for about two years now. Among my favourite series are Samurai Deeper Kyo, Peacemaker Kurogane, Ikkitousen, Shaman King and Rurouni Kenshin, though I do read and enjoy primarily-shojo manga as well, such as Yami no Matsuei. I tried ever so hard to get tickets for Anime North in Toronto this year, but I have an English Language AS right in the middle of the con, so I couldn't. Ah, maybe next year.

Doke, Doke, Dokeee~. Cromartie High on the move.

2006-04-06T14:10:23Z

Cromartie High School will be released here in England, soon. I've already seen the series... also, the live action movie, but for those who haven't seen it yet and want something new, I guess that this is a significant animé release this year for the United Kingdom.

http://www.advfilms.com/titles/cromartie/

The Release Date is penned down for 17-04-2006.

For those who haven't seen it, this series is pretty much a comedy about Japanese Yankii, or Juvenile Delinquents. They basically look and act like Yakuza, but are still in school. A really awful school, with the most stupid students you could ever imagine. To be honest, there's also a student that looks like Queen's "Freddie Mercury" who is simply named... Freddie! - Also, there's a robot called Mechazawa with a really soothing voice, and a Gorilla.

I happen to think the writing is pretty good, and the comedy is top notch. The episodes come in ten minute slots, like the manga they are basically done in sketches or skits. I'd definitely recommend this series over something like "Excel Saga", which heavily relied on referencing other Japanese Animé. This show manages to be somewhat original, and that's what is so fresh about it. This isn't me writing a review, I'm simply stating my opinion after reading some rather stupid reviews of the series on some English animé fansites that shall re-name un-made.

I mean, remain un-named. Obviously~.

There's a lot of irony, Japanese wordplay jokes, and basically, bizarre comedy. Also, there's a lot of references to famous music and musicians floating around, which appears to be what the series has been pitched to the public by ADV Films as. They've totally avoided the whole issue of the Japanese Yankii, I guess. But, anyhow, since they were the original covers, I guess I can't make an issue of that.

It really is great. There's some classic scenes and really great characters. Especially Freddie, of course.

Oh, and the English version is also pretty good, I guess. But they miss a lot of the timing on the jokes now and again, I guess.

Anyone already a fan? - Hopefully, the series will see some success here in the U.K, because it definitely deserves some attention!

Hey, Guys and Girls!

2006-03-10T00:17:25Z

I'm an English animé fan, too. Now I'm finding it more difficult than ever to meet people with this bizarre interest, I'm turning to the world of LiveJournal for help!

My name's Gavin, and I live in Chester, North West. We're a pretty nice tourist town, up here. Unfortunately, since our MVC store has closed down, besides other things, now I'm losing my mind. All of my friends have a vague interest in Japanese animation, but not enough! - I simply have to hide the fact I'm an animé fan, when I go out to bars and whatever. It's seemingly too obscure a subject, and people find it weird.

So, I mean, I want to meet people who have the same interests as me. Infact, I'd like to drink with them, too! I love getting drunk and chatting about bizarre Japanese things! - Who wouldn't want that?

We don't have any animé club type things here, as far as I know. And I'm losing my mind. I'm also interested in attending these conventions, too. I was at Otakon 2004 in Baltimore, my first and only ever convention, and the sight at the animé fan's lifestyle was too shocking! - I need my animé and manga, or I'll quite simply lose my mind. I'm totally with the scene, and I have been for about eight years... yeah, I started watching Lupin III and Dragonball when I was twelve or so... and I went from there, to be honest.

Anyway, nice to be a member of the community... and I hope that didn't sound too much like an Alcoholic's Anonymous meeting, or something! - This is Animé Anonymous, and I'd like to have less emphasis on the "Anonymous" part.

Oh, and I've got a lot of favourite titles, so I'll save them for later. o.o;;

2006-02-09T18:53:43Z

Do not panic!

Yes, A-eng is down. According to our hosts we were making thier server crash,but we don't generate enough traffic to even cause a blip so they're obviously a load of wank. Mal is in contact with them and trying to sort something out<3 and El Sanp is looking into a new host. But anyway..yeah.

GOOD LUCK.

OK! LONDON MEET STILL GO!

2006-02-09T15:25:13Z

Just to let everyone know that the LONDON MEET IS STILL ON! Here are the various details for those who can't remember -

WHEN: Saturday 11th February (this saturday coming).
TIME: 11am
PLACE: Euston Station

The hostel has been CANCELLED due to lack of people staying over. If you want to stay you have to arrange your own accomodation or go home. ALTERNATIVELY, you can stick with me, Max, Holly and others and see where we end up staying the night (God knows where that might be! That'll be half the fun).

There will be stuff to do sat/sun. People can go to forbidden planet, gosh, lunch at some point, camden town, china town, the trocadero, some museum or art gallery, japan centre, wherever you want to go!

If you want my number, send me an email and i'll happily get it to you!

o_O

2006-02-09T13:34:12Z

Where has the website gone?

IMPORTANT!

2006-02-09T13:04:14Z

Due to major drop-outs and major money troubles on various sides I am considering dropping the hostel booking, but need to do so very soon! Heathrow could quite easily double as a free place to kip down as I really can't spare 70 quid when hardly anyone is staying. If everyone planning on staying is willing to pay about £15 (we need to pay £82 on arrival), then it's fine. THE MEET IS NOT CANCELLED! LEAVE COMMENTS PLEASE! I HAVE TO EMAIL THEM BY TONIGHT!
