Happy National Anime Day

Happy National (International) Anime Day! Initially celebrated in Tokyo 37 years ago in 1975 this is the day to celebrate all that is Anime. The best ways to do this are to watch an anime movie, stream a series, or read a new / favorite Manga. Or if you are in the Denver Metro area you can also go to Colorado Anime Fest which starts today!

Whatever you choose to do, enjoy the day!
