Right Stuf launches Anime Today 17

Grimes, IA June 23, 2006 – The Right Stuf International (“TRSI”), anime producer and mega-online anime retailer, announced today it has launched the latest episode of Anime Today, the first ever commercial podcast aimed at Japanese animation (“anime”) and manga enthusiasts.



Anime Today is rated one of the top 100 podcasts of all TV & Movie podcasts subscriptions on Apple's iTunes – competing against major podcasts by corporate moguls such as Cartoon Network, FOX, and HBO. Anime Today fans have been raving about the show since its initial debut last November. “Reviews, News and Japanese culture that is engaging and is produced well. How did you guys know exactly what I wanted in an anime podcast?!” posted one reviewer on iTunes.



Released every other week, each episode features fresh anime content and gives listeners a glimpse into what's new and what's hot in the world of anime and manga! Segments include reviews of titles from all major anime studios, insights into the industry from anime producers, tips on traveling to and around Japan, interaction with listeners, contest and prizes and more!
