Become a Subscriber to Okazu and Join Us For Online Patron Holiday Party!

November 30th, 2018

Today is the final day to Support Okazu on Patreon and receive an invitation to our exclusive Patron Online Holiday Party! Bring your own cake, but the friendship and prizes are real! We’ll be talking about Yuri past and present and there will be a trivia contest in which you can prove your prowess in Yuri obscura and minutiae. ^_^

Here’s what you get for your money: 4-6 Yuri reviews a week, 1 weekly Yuri News Report, paid Guest Reviews, Event Reports, Interviews, Sneak Peeks at ongoing work, mention on the Okazu Hero Roll, a shitty badge, the undying appreciation of the Yuricon and Okazu community and myself. ^_^

Just $5/month cam make a huge difference to the work we’re doing! That’s even more fun than a Happy Meal for around the same price. Thanks in advance and we’ll see you at the party!





Thank you to my Okazu Family!

November 22nd, 2018

It’s Thanksgiving here in the United States and as is my wont, I would like to take time to thank all of you, my Okazu readers, commenters, guest reviewers, and correspondents. You are the reason Okazu has continued now for 16 years. Thank you all for everything.

In addition, I want to once again take time to thank my Okazu Patrons and invite all of you to a special Okazu Holiday Party online! We’ll be chatting about Yuri, you’re going to get the scoops on the Yuri projects I’ve been working on (and some of the inside news on what happens and why) and there will be a trivia contest and real prizes!

In order to receive an invitation, all you need to do is be an Okazu patreon by November 30, paid through December. We’re about $10 away from our month goal of $500, so if 10 of you kick in a buck each a month for 2019, we’ll be just where we want to be! I hope you’ll consider helping us out here – we have a lot of things planned for next year – more events, more Lucky Boxes and more reviews!

Once again, I want to thank you all – you’re all an important part of of the Okazu family. I am very thankful to have all of you in my life.

In Memoriam, Okazu Superhero Bruce P

November 7th, 2017

Hi folks. I have no idea what to say here. This is the second time I’ve lost someone important to me, someone who I met because of Yuri. Okazu Superhero, Guest Reviewer and my very dear friend Bruce Pregger has passed away.

If you’re a long time reader, you’ve read many of his hilarious reviews and his event reports (I’m putting them all, and this post, into a new category, so they can be found simply) here on Okazu. He’s traveled with me to several continents and I’m going to miss him so much, I can’t even express myself.

Ah, crap. I hate this. 

I had a guest review of his all scheduled to run on Wednesday, it will still run, but dammit, Bruce, you were supposed to go with us to Tokyo in 2 weeks. Dammit.

Goodbye Bruce, you will be missed.
