I just want to remind everyone of the crisis that is currently affecting Japan (the country that brought us so much enjoyment). Japan could really use some help right now, so all of us should do what we can.

Crunchyroll announced that they will match donations made this week through their website here: http://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-699392/japan-relief

Or if you would like to donate directly, the American Red Cross is also accepting donations: https://american.redcross.org/site/Donation2?idb=0&5052.donation=form1&df_id=5052

Oh my god, thanks for this. I had no idea, I was gonna donate to red cross directly, but this is even better!

np :) I'll also make note of the fact that crunchyroll allows you to donate as little a five dollars (which becomes 10 when they match it). And the Red Cross has a minimum donation of $10. Every little bit helps, so the anime community needs to stand together and do what we can to give back to the wonderful country of Japan.

The time limit isn't for 5 hours. Its for 5 days. So they will match any donation made within the next 5 days.

I just learned that a bunch of North American voice actors have decided to do a 24hr live podcast on ustream.tv This list includes Crispin Freeman, Stephanie Sheh, Michelle Ruff and many more along with LittleKuriboh (creator of the Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged web series).

Now you can help out even if you don't have money. Crunchyroll posted a link on their site that has a video that generates ad revenue by simply watching it. The video is a message from Akira Toriyama, the manga artist best known for his creation of Dragon Ball, so make sure that you watch it. Then "like" and or "favorite" it on youtube. Tell your friends to watch it and do the same. The video is only 35 seconds long, so nobody can even say that they don't have time. Remember guys, everything helps.
