News will gloriously reappear on theOtaku.com this Sunday, the day after tomorrow. The anime/manga/video game world already has a wealth of amazing news sites, so rather than duplicate their functionality, we're going for a different approach.

Our goal with news is to facilitate discussion and community more than anything else. Like fark and digg we're not going to burden our editors with having to write long posts, but will instead emphasize simple links, funny headlines, and comments.

News will be integrated into our main page as well to give the site a fresher feel every day. We're also going to continue our old tradition of associating members' fan art with each story, giving them an avenue for more traffic and visibility.

Keep refreshing the site on Sunday because, suddenly, theOtaku'll be one section bigger.
