around the internet and back in three links
For the argumentative-about-the-american-industry types:
Steve Harrison has some strong thoughts on where the American anime industry is going in the new issue of psychommu gaijin. (Warning: the link is a 100mb pdf file. If you have some sort of supercomputer you can try http://www.scribd.com/doc/2160812/Psychommu-Gaijin-Feb-2008 but the java will probably choke the everliving cycles out of your computer.)
Mandoric has some numbers about some animes in this here ADTRW thread.
For the moon-speaking types:
Niseyono has put up his latest animation on Nico: part the first, part the second, and part the third.
Please enjoy these and wait warmly while I write some short manga reviews.
