We've got a new look! A big thank you and congratulations goes out to MinaSky22 for the great new banner that graces AnimeAdmirers. Hope you are enjoying your Crunchyroll subscription. I've changed the site to match the banner's colors. What do you think? You can compare the old one by just going to the News Archive.

Since the site was changing, I thought it would be a good time to put up links to sections I'll be adding content to (there's just an intro page right now). Those were Bleach and Heroman. I'm a big fan of both of these anime so working on them and the Digimon Xros Wars NEW sections will be fun.

In news, there have been some anime acquisitions. Bandai Entertainment announced licensing Tales of the Abyss and Turn A Gundam (this one was a surprise). Then Crunchyroll announced their rights to simulcast the new series, Mitsudomoe.

I so envy those that were able to attend Comic-Con this past weekend. Not only were Robert Downey Jr. and Ryan Reynolds (drool) there, but many other great stars. One of the announcements from Comic-Con was hearing that the G4 television network will air the four Marvel anime in 2011; Iron Man, Wolverine, X-Men, and Blade. That Channel hasn't aired anime since 2006 when they use to have the Anime Unleashed block.

Let's get to the site updates....which are:

Complete revamp of site (still working on pages).
Intro pages for sections coming; Bleach and Heroman.
Summary/Pics - episode 20 of Inuyasha the Final Act.
Images added of Bakugan Gundalian Invaders episodes 5 and 6.
Bakugan Gundalian Invaders Episode Guide added.
Please continue to vote on the existing poll. It's a tie right now.
  In the last poll, no surprise that most visitors are watching Dragonball Kai!

I've been working on a new layout with the winning banner entry, but it's been taking longer than expected. Sorry, 'bout that. AnimeAdmirers should have a new look with the next update. Good news is Digimon Xros Wars will have its own section as well.

Thought I'd do a quick recap on some of the acquisitions from Anime Expo that took place over the 4th of July Holiday weekend:

Bandai Entertainment: K-On,
Right Stuf's Nozomi: So-Ra-No-Wo-To,
Funimation: (for simulcast) Shiki, Black Butler 2, Sekirei ~Pure Engagement~, The Legend of the Legendary Heroes, Sengoku Basara Two, and (2011 Licenses) Darker than Black 2, Shakugan no Shana 2 along with movie and OVA, Toaru Majutsu no Index, Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail, Hellsing Ultimate (5-7) and the Trigun film,
Aniplex of America: Durarara,
Viz: Nurarihyon no Mago,
Sentai Filmworks: High school of the Dead.

Whew...that's quite a list, and I didn't even mention the license saves or manga. I'm going to need a second job!

And now for the site updates this time which are:

Images of Digimon Xros Wars episode 1.
Summary/Pics - episode 19 of Inuyasha the Final Act.
Summary/Pics - episode 40 of Naruto Shippuden.
Images added of Bakugan Gundalian Invaders episodes 3 and 4.
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny Episode Guide added.
