GOOOD MORNING, Everyone!
While we’re waiting on Zeke to get the pictures and videos up from our latest venue (EXP III), I just wanted to take a chance to say thank you, once again, to all of the people whom support us and all the wonderful awesome folks whom come to the site and watch our videos and stuff. You guys are REALLY awesome and I thank God for this high privalege (he has given us) to be able to perform for ALL of you! And, also, I am ALWAYS thankful to all the people whom support us: To Ashley Clark and the rest of “Anime Belle”, to Pika Belle Chu and company, To the convention(s) and their staff, AND a very large “Thank you” to our “behind the scenes” people. To Shaggy, Vicky, Shella, Eden, and Jenny… People whom tirelessly seek to assist us in the beginings, inbetweens, and endings with EVERYTHING from playing camera man to taking photos to helping us practice our improv and providing us with encouragement and strength to get out there. To you guys, I just want to say,”Thank you.” From the very bottom of my heart, I do. Love all of you guys and, everyone, stay tuned! We’ll be hosting all of the pics we took, the videos, and more fun things here soon ^_^!

We Have Reached A Milestone!
It may not be huge, but it definitely means something to me. This past weekend marked the tenth convention in which we have participated in. Starting at JaniCon in 2007, anirage has put on shows at: JaniCon 2007, Anime South 2007, Anime Express 2008, Metrocon 2008, EXP Con 2008, Anime South 2009, Anime Express 2009, EXP Con 2009, Anime Express 2010, and EXP Con 2010. (If you count Fairy Tale Theater at Metrocons 2009 and 2010 then that is 12! but we were helping out Anime Belle with those products, so I won’t include those).
Of those 10 conventions, we have achieved Guest Status at: Anime Express 2008, 2009, 2010, EXP Con 2008, 2009, 2010, and Anime South 2009.
We have been together for over four years, and it’s been a great ride the whole way, and we have no plans on slowing down! Through our trials and tribulations, we have remained strong and we have so much in store for our fans.
ShadoCon is just around the corner, and we are excited to say that we are bringing Whose Line is it aniRAGE?, Anime XD, and hopefully MAN-ime (where we go from being aniRAGE to being MANirage) to the con attendees.
Keep your eyes on aniRAGE.com for more great information. It’s been a great four years, and we shall continue on for four and more!

Anime XD Anime List
Before I list all the anime shown at EXPCon’s Anime XD, I want to take a bit of time to personally thank each and everyone of you guys for coming to all of our aniRAGE panels at EXPCon! If it wasn’t for the support of fans such as yourselves, we wouldn’t continue to perform! I take great joy in seeing people come to our panels, as the more people we see come to our shows, the more energy we feed off of you.
Now onto the list, as so many of you were asking about, as well as where you can buy the anime we saw, if not point you in the right direction!
Hare+Guu Deluxe – one of my favorite comedy series, this title is found on online anime retailers, such as RightStuf, and RACS, though the series is actually discontinued, so actual stock is limited. However, if you want the full experience, I suggest you watch the original TV series version before watching Deluxe, as Deluxe is the OVA sequel to the original.
Puchi Evangelion – This series is actually not licensed in the U.S., and isn’t likely to be anytime soon. Probably the only way you’ll be able to find this series is on the torrents, and I’m not about to directly link you to a download link.
Jungle de Ikou – this series is surprisingly also not hard to find, though stock may be limited with this series as well. You can find it on RightStuf and RACS for about 25 bucks.
Mitsudomoe – My favorite of all the clips shown at EXPCon this year, this has not yet been licensed in the U.S. However, it’s available for streaming on Crunchyroll!
Sgt Frog – Of course, you could easily find this series in your local store that sells anime, as well as online retailers. It’s the most recently licensed anime that’s on this list, so finding series, as well as season box sets shouldn’t be to hard to come by.
Hope you enjoy the list!

EXP Con 2010
EXP Con 2010 has come and gone, and it was yet again another great year! So much fun was had by all, the guests, the con goers, everyone! I’m still elated from all the fun and excitement of the weekend. Hopefully work won’t be a buzzkill (but I doubt that would happen). Expect a nice, lengthy con report sometime soon, but for now, it’s time to put EXP Con 2010 into the books as another great con.
I want to give a big thank you to everyone who came out to see us this weekend. We had so much fun getting up on stage and looking like idiots for your entertainment. We packed room after room all weekend long, and we appreciate all the kind words and encouragement that you gave us. We can’t wait to do it again next year.
And of course, ShadoCon is just around the corner, and we can’t wait to see you there!

We’re BACK! An Metrocon Story…
HOLY COW, was this Weekend AWESOME or WHAT O_O!?!?!? The convention totally ROCKED! aniRAGE totally rocked the house with AnimeBelle and we brought a great show that really, REALLY brought the house down! We had a full audience down there at Ballroom A and more folks whom came in as the production continued. Everyone was AMAZING! the costumes were beautiful and our fellow actors were stupendous ^_^! Seriously, this has me hyped for when we join them again in October for ExpCON 2010! I just can’t wait for this, now!
And, just so that all of you know, I and the rest of my mates would all like to thank each and EVERY ONE OF YOU whom came to watch us all perform. You all are the greatest ^_^! Seriously, if it were not for you, we wouldn’t have had a show or anything at all! Thank you all for coming to see us and we will be looking forward to entertaining you all, again, both stand alone and in corrolation with Anime Belle at ExpCON! See you all in St. Augustine!

Two Days…
Time to roll back the sleves and get the final preparations under way. We’ve had things packed at my house for the last few days, but now is the time to double check items and grab last second needs before we have no chance to do so. God, I am so happy ^_^! Two days left! TWO DAYS XD! Can’t wait to see everyone there and perform in the Fairytale theature! this is going to rock!
~Miroku
t-minus 3 days…
Tuesday, wensday, and Thursday… That’s all we have left to wait for one of the best conventions of the year ^_^! Trying to get through work and get all final preparations completed. Today, I have to find a replacement for my broken Cell (a cheap 15-20 cell would be nice). Also, need to get the house in order so that we don’t have to come home to a mess when we leave on Wednesday. I am SOOOO excited! Can’t wait to see everyone there!
