		<title>Quick update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, still alive.  Had to take a month-and-a-half-long sabbatical for some personal reasons (I was only half honest about not covering that scanlation crackdown thing too much.)  Will try to get back to regular pace, have a few items from before the break I need to cover, and some press releases.  Be back in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bill to classify non-obscene manga as harmful to minors defeated by Tokyo Metro Assembly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Still on semi-break because of all the scanlation-related news&#8230; some good, some bad.  But you can get all of that via MangaBlog anyway.  I mean, it&#8217;s good stuff, I just don&#8217;t have the energy to discuss it, or anything worthwhile to add, honestly.  (Also, what kind of miserable, masochistic people read manga on Youtube anyway?  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ero anime with underage Scottish VA? &#124; Studio 4C to reanimate Thundercats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Supremely odd story of the day&#8230; according to Daily Record, a 13-year old Scottish girl was paid to be a voice actress for a &#8220;hentai&#8221; anime.  Words like child exploitation were thrown around, but I&#8217;m curious what actually went down.  I&#8217;m assuming this was done over the internet; did the anime producer actually know the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anime distributor open to sale &#124; DoJ files charges against comic pirate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Funny thing, it seems anytime there is a major development at an anime or manga company, or just a rumor regardless of veracity, Right Stuf has a sale.  I mean, that&#8217;s just savvy, but given the kind of news coming out of the industry lately, also a bit macabre.  Heck, it makes me nervous to [...]]]></description>
