• Funimation is bringing everyone’s favorite ’90s shoujo mecha series, The Vision of Escaflowne, to Blu-Ray with a Kickstarter campaign. In just 3 days, it’s already funded! What do you think about established companies using Kickstarter to fund their projects?

• P.S. Don’t forget about the Skip Beat campaign, which isn’t funded yet. For the uninitiated, you can check out Skip Beat on Crunchyroll and see if it’s your kind of thing first. Both of these campaigns are plus six figures, and before writing my Forbes article, I had no idea how pricey it was to dub an anime. “You have to add an extra zero,” Ann Yamamoto told me.

• Resolve even more mysteries of the localization process with this Reddit AMA with RightStuf CEO Shawne Kleckner. I would prefer everything to be Blu-Ray in this day and age, and Kleckner explains why that’s not always possible.

• Have you ever seen an anime screenshot and wondered, “Which anime is that from?” It’s certainly happened to Soruly, so he built a search engine and Chrome extension specifically for that purpose. Input any screenshot and it will spit back where it came from. I tried a bunch and I can’t believe how accurate it is!

• After I wrote “Am I Going To Get Arrested For Bringing All This Cartoon Porn Into The US?” about my Tokyo doujinshi shopping quandary, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund provided their own take and some resources for travelers.

• You need to watch this insane Mario ’64 walkthrough. Speedrunners are incredible. When the guy starts talking about parallel universes, I had to unscramble my brain. I couldn’t stop wondering, what kind of person does this? and if you’re the same way, Kotaku did an interview with him last year.
