Last Few Days to Pre-Order and Pre-Reg!

September 2nd, 2007

Just some quickie reminders:

Pre-registration for Yuricon’s 2007 “Yurisai” event closes on September 7.

And Pre-Orders for Yuri Monogatari 5 on the Yuricon Shop will close on September 8. You can still pre-order YM5 on Amazon and Amazon JP through September.





The Countdown to Yuricon’s 2007 "Yurisai" is On!

August 27th, 2007

Quick post today because my brain is exploding.

There are just about ten (10!) days left for Pre-registration to Yuricon’s 2007 “Yurisai” event.

I just boxed up all the manga I’ll be bringing for the Yuri Library…it’s a lot of manga…and even more doujinshi. Some of it has never before been seen in America, some of it will be stuff that you will never see again. (That’s not meant to sound as ominous as it does….lol)

And time is also counting down on the Yurisai” Poster and Fanfiction Contests. Our theme is, quite naturally, “Fairs and Festivals”. We know that you’ll have a great time out our Festival of Lilies, and we want to see your artwork and stories showing our mascots Yuriko and Midori enjoying fairs and festivals too. Ferris Wheels or goldfish scooping, running with the bulls or watching fireworks over a lake – you decide the festival and show or tell us all about it. Check out the submission deadlines on the Yurisai home page.

Get those entries in before the September 7 deadline and we’ll see you at the “Yurisai in 33 days!

AAIFF – Tickets for tonight’s NY screening of "Talking About Amy"

July 26th, 2007

I have *just* learned that we have 4 tickets available to anyone who wants to come to tonight’s screening of “Talking About Amy” at the Asian-American Independent
Film Festival at the Asia Society in NYC.

“Talking” is an animated short about Yuri manga artist Rica Takashima and will be showing as part of the festival’s shorts category, “She’s Your Queen.” Rica herself will be there, so you can meet her in person (bring her book to autograph!)

If you would like to come, just email me at yuricon @ hotmail.com, subject line “Talking”. The first four people will get tickets from Rica, and anyone else is welcome to just purchase tickets at the box office and join us tonight for “Talking About Amy”!





Yuri Licensing Announcements – Otakon 2007

July 24th, 2007

Not much this time around, most of the big announcements were made at Expo.

Bandai announced Mai Otome Zwei (episode 2 of which was awesome – Haruka x Yukino 4tw!)

Funimation announced that they have licensed Ouran High School, notable for the ‘Zuka Club.

ADV announced Venus Versus Virus – tune up your Yuri Goggles and turn them up to high.

Geneon did not scream “Shut up about Maria-sama ga Miteru already!” for which I give them credit. ;-)
