<a href="http://nakama-britannica.animeuknews.net/">Nakama Britannica</a> (not to be confused with the <a href="http://blogs.animeuknews.net/">Nakama Britannica Portal</a>) is collaboration on the part of Anime UK News to produce an anime blog worthy of spotlighting the underrated quality of our ever-improving writing team. Having been previously consigned to the rather strict foundations of our DVD review format, the creative freedom and interactive nature of blogging offers us a real opportunity to create a refreshing collection of anime and manga related articles relevant not only to the UK-based anime fan, but otaku the world over.
As far as a writing schedule goes, we intend to publish at least one new article per week; in fact, new content is planned to appear every coming Sunday until the end of 2007. At the time of writing, the <a href="http://nakama-britannica.animeuknews.net/">Nakama Britannica</a> team consists of six individuals (<a href="http://www.animeuknews.net/about_us.php#Lewis">Lewis</a>, <a href="http://www.animeuknews.net/about_us.php#Martin">Martin</a>, <a href="http://www.animeuknews.net/about_us.php#Nargis">Nargis</a>, <a href="http://www.animeuknews.net/about_us.php#Paul">Paul</a>, <a href="http://www.animeuknews.net/about_us.php#Ryan">Ryan</a> and <a href="http://www.animeuknews.net/about_us.php#Sarah">Sarah</a> - team profiles and avatars coming soon) and as a result, the future promises an ever rotating and eclectic mix of editorial subjects and writing styles.
As a means of introduction - here is a brief teaser on our first two articles:

"Since this is my first post on this brand spanking new blog I decided to cover an issue that I had completely forgotten about until a few days ago. As I was roaring along the road running over various species of wildlife and pensioners one of Gwen Stefani’s records came on the radio. As you may or may not know Gwen in her recent years has taken a great shine to Japanese pop culture. Funnily enough this 3 minute spat of pop music got me thinking to more pressing matters, the state of anime soundtracks and their past."

"With the warmth of summer now behind us, now is the time to retreat indoors out of the autumn wind and rain. Personally I like to unwind in front of the TV when the great British weather turns; fortunately there’s plenty on offer from the UK’s anime DVD distributors to prevent boredom setting in! There are a number of exciting new titles to hit the shelves in the next few months, but here’s my own shortlist of favourites that I’d recommend."
