The Cherry Blossoms will soon be in bloom and that means it’s time for the 2010 installment of Global Shinkai Day.
Crunchy Roll and CoMix Wave Films in conjunction with Cherry Blossoms Falling are proud to announce Global Shinkai Day 2010.
The event will take place starting March 5th 5 pm PST and will run for 48 hours.
There will be contests this year over on Cherry Blossoms Falling so check it out. This year we’ll be giving away Shinkai-san autographed movie posters. Check em out and check out my thread on my trip to Tokyo to meet the CrunchyRoll staff there and to visit with CoMix Wave Films and Shinkai-san, himself.
Things will get moving pretty quickly so tell your friends and neighbors to get ready for an even better Global Shinkai Day this year.
Global Shinkai Day 2010 – Koko ni iru yo!

Wasabi Anime running a survey that asks, “What are the Top 10 Greatest Anime EVER?“ The anime can be a series or a movie. It must have been produced in Japan to be considered “anime“.
Example: The Transformers (1984) is NOT anime, but Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (1988) is anime.
This survey will end on Tuesday, June 1st at noon (eastern time). The results will be made public at Florida SuperCon in Miami, Florida, June 18-20, 2010. We will also post the results on the Green Mustard (Wasabi Anime) website on July 1, 2010.
CLICK HERE TO TAKE THE SURVEY!
