Welcome to the April 16th edition of the BellaOnline Anime newsletter!
Since the last newsletter, I re-wrote the "Cosplay Resources" article and turned it into a general overview of what cosplay is. I also moved the article from the Anime Costumes subsection to the Anime Conventions subsection.
I have also taken the Anime Conventions subsection off the BellaOnline anime site. While cosplay and costumes are part of anime, I really don't have the knowledge of it to feel comfortable trying to maintain that subsection. In the coming weeks, I will be launching a new subsection for the Anime site; I will make an announcement in this newsletter when that happens.
This week, I also posted a review of the Inuyasha Second Season Box Set, as well as an overview article for Revolutionary Girl Utena. Links to these articles, as well as the cosplay overview article, are included in the next section of the newsletter.
Have you visited BellaOnline's anime forum recently? I've been working at posting news items in the forum over the past few weeks. Just yesterday, I posted the news that Dreamworks has acquired the rights to produce a 3D live-action film of Ghost in the Shell. If you'd like to read about that, or about any other anime news I've posted in the forum, come on by and check out the forum. There's a link to the forum further down in the newsletter.
