Hey this is Patrick. It’s a new year, the bunny gals are out in force, so I figured now would be as good a time as any for a season recap as it relates to work and such.
The main thing on my plate right now is OTAKU-VERSE ZERO, the web show I’m co-hosting and going back and forth to Tokyo a lot nowadays to shoot. New episodes are going up weekly and our 6th should be up later today / tomorrow depending on where you’re at.
OTAKU USA magazine is still alive and well. We shipped our March / April issue to the printers just before the holidays. Expect a hot Evangelion 2.0 cover, and coverage inside, when it arrives at the store around late Feb.
The OTAKU USA website and Facebook page, curated by Joseph Luster, are rolling along merrily as well. The website is where you’ll find the bulk of my daily text-based blogging and writing, including “Tokyo Terminal Diary” entries and “2010 is 1980”. Most of my writing is being done now for OUSA website rather than here nowadays because, quite frankly, they’ll pay me for it. But this blog isn't going anywhere either...
My company jaPRESS is working on re-launching our web magazine japattack shortly under a new name. Jay is learning CS5 so expect it to be very smart phone and tablet friendly. The main dish will be a “Hot Tears of Shame” comic that I’m writing and that a rather remarkable fellow named Kashio Ara will be illustrating.
Assorted freelance stuff…
Vol. 5 of iPad / iPhone app Tokyo Kawaii Magazine is available now. I did the English language rewriting and editing.
My new column about Japanese film is running in iPhone and iPad app Terebi Bangumiran. The most recent entry is about Osaka Expo 70.
I’ll be doing MC duty, and moderating the interview portion, at the GANTZ movie world premiere on Jan. 20. More about that soon.
I think that’s it for now! Thanks to readers everywhere for their interest and support in 2011!
Age Ome! ヾ(≧∇≦*)ゝ
