    Last November, concurrent with Anime NYC, Crunchyroll partnered with the media company Weird Enough Productions to host a community event at P.S./M.S. 5 Port Morris, a K-8 School in The Bronx with a focus on literacy. In that community, 70% of students read below grade level, so the school is deeply committed to providing reading tools for students. A lot of these students don’t have a local library, so the school is playing a major role in making sure they have access to books. The event was hosted by Weird Enough’s Tony Weaver Jr., where the author met with middle school students and gave them a positive, motivational talk about self love and being yourself. At the end of the event, Tony and Tim presented the students with a donation of over 200 volumes of manga to the school!   Last year we published an interview with Weaver , and today, we're proud to share a new interview with the creator where he updates us on his series  The Unco...

  Article written by guest author Aaron Dismuke, the English voice of Chigiri in the BLUELOCK anime.   “If it tears, so be it.”   Those are the words that’ll always stick with me from my time as the English voice of Hyoma Chigiri in the genre-bending sports anime BLUELOCK : a show that elevates the stakes and stratagems of soccer to * Anything*   Slayer levels of intensity.   I’ve been voice acting in anime since I was nine. Most people who know me, know me from the work I did as Al in Fullmetal Alchemist when I was 11, and I’m 30, so that isn’t weird at all, and I definitely didn’t spend my early twenties feeling like a washed-up has-been pseudo-child star. In truth, I’m one of the lucky few in this business who’ve had something approaching job security thanks to my getting cast in a number of awesome shows that keep coming back for new seasons.    However, while trying to knock out one of those shows on a tight schedule, I pushed myself ...
