Talks about Anime Fans Give Back

We are "Anime Fans Give Back," a charitable organization raising money for the victims of last year's Japanese earthquake and tsunami. We rose over $30,000 last year, and this year we're aiming to bring that total to $50,000.

Sorry it's been so long since the last announcement, but we have a couple of big ones:

We are happy to announce that Steve Blum will be joining us on this year's "Anime Fans Give Back to Japan" marathon. He's the man who voiced all your favorite shows: Spike Spiegel in Cowboy Bebop, Roger Smith in The Big O, Tom in Toonami, Mugen in Samurai Champloo, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Steve Blum has provided his voice to video games, animated series and movies, and a lot of anime. Check out his site for more. We want to thank him for coming on last year's show, it was an honor, and we look forward to having him on again this year!

We are happy to announce that Wendee Lee will be joining us on this year's "Anime Fans Give Back to Japan" marathon. She is one of the main reasons why last year's Anime Fans Give Back was so successful, and devoted her time and energy to helping those in need last year. You may have heard her as Faye in Cowboy Bebop, Haruhi Suzumiya in The Meloncholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Tatsuki and Yoruichi in Bleach, Kei in Akira, Kiyone in Tenchi Muyo! and so many more! She is an accomplished voice actress in and out of the anime industry and an ADR director and writer. We want to thank Wendee for all her hard work, and we look forward to having her on again this year!
