Welcome to the October 1st edition of the BellaOnline Anime newsletter!

First, I'm pleased to announced that I have published my third ebook, "Anime Reviews," through BellaOnline. This ebook compiles the anime reviews I've written for BellaOnline. For more information on this ebook, click on the link that is included later in the newsletter.

I also created a new subsection to the site. The new subsection is called "Anime Biographies," and this is where biographies about individuals involved in the anime business will be located. The only exception to this right now is Hayao Miyazaki, because his biography is being included in the "Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli" subsection.

This week, I posted an article titled "Anime Resources." This article talks about and explains several ways to sample anime properties without having to pay an arm and a leg to purchase a DVD box set. This is a featured article on the main Anime site, and it can also be found in the "Special Features" subsection. You can also click on the link that is included later in this newsletter in order to read it.

I also posted a review of the Voltron Volume 1 DVD box set. This review can be found in the "Anime DVD Reviews" subsection, or you can click on the link provided later in the newsletter. Voltron Volume 1 has been added to the Anime Shop, and it is also an "Editor's Recommendation" on the main Anime page.

This week, I also posted a review of the Beast King GoLion Volume 1 DVD box set. The review is in the "Anime DVD Reviews" subsection, and it can also be accessed by the link provided later in the newsletter. Beast King GoLion Volume 1 has also been added to the Anime Shop.

And if you haven't come by the Anime forum since the last newsletter, here's some of the topics being discussed:
*Animation Kobe Award winners announced
*Akira being released on Blu-Ray
*Bakugan Battle Brawlers to get second season
*Hell Girl debuting on IFC on 9/30/08
*Bandai Ent. to release Sola and True Tears
*Macross Frontier movie announced

If you'd like to read or participate in any of these discussions, a link to the forum is included later in this newsletter.

Anime Resources
If you want to sample an anime for yourself, or if you’re a parent wanting to see an anime property that your child has been talking about, how can you go about sampling some of the property without going to a retail outlet and paying for an entire series box set?
