Animeph

First of all I’d like to thank everyone who visits and enjoys Animeph and those who offer their help and support. We have grown and improved over time, so that thousands of people from all over the world check by every day. The “downside” to that growth however, is that our server provider blocked our site for several hours in the last few days due to using up too much traffic and performance. We will switch servers as soon as possible and I hope that this problem will be fixed within this week.
I apologize for the inconveniences.

Edit 05/01/2012: The problem is fixed now and in addition all pages should load faster now. Thanks for the patience.

We at Animeph.com wish a happy new year to all otaku and fans of Japanese Culture out there.
Lets hope that this new year will be filled with promising new titles and sequels like the last one was. You can check out the new shows for this January in my Winter 2012 Anime List and I’ll update with news for the Spring season soon, so keep checking by.

Last week I visited Gamescom in Cologne (Köln), the biggest games convention in Germany with more than 250000 visitors this year. Luckily I was there on one of the less crowded days, yet you still had to wait for hours to test one of the most popular games like Mass Effect 3, Battlefield 3 or the Starcraft II expansion. Just wanted to share this awesome Final Fantasy 13 cosplay of Lightning and Fang with you guys. Enjoy.

On March 11th a massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake occurred in the pacific ocean with the epicenter east of Sendai which is northeast of Tokyo. It was the most massive earthquake recorded in Japanese history and was followed by more than 50 aftershocks. Only 15 minutes later a 10 meters high tsunami wave hit the coast and left nothing but ruins in its wake. Residents near the Fukushima I and II Nuclear Power Plants were evacuated in a 10 and 20-kilometer radius as a precaution of possible contamination.

Our hearts and hopes are with all the families impacted by this huge catastrophe.

Hello to all anime nerds and otakus!

This is my first post on the newly designed Animeph.com. You might have noticed the changes quite some time ago, as I was busy transferring all my old content to this new design. Most of it is done, but there are still some adjustments and transfers to be made. Once I’m done, updating Animeph should be a whole lot easier for me; and I hope you guys are happy with the new look as well. You guys are now able to leave comments to my posts and pages, so don’t hesitate to ask or write about anything that is on your mind about those posts or anime in general.

As I’m currently busy working on my Bachelor Thesis, updates and news might come a little slower than usual. I apologize for that and appreciate the patience you had until now.
