Right Stuf Launches Special Anime Expo 2006 Anime Today

Grimes, IA July 7, 2006 – The Right Stuf International (“TRSI”), anime producer and mega-online anime retailer, announced today it has launched a special episode of Anime Today, the first ever commercial podcast aimed at Japanese animation (“anime”) and manga enthusiasts, covering the biggest anime convention in the US – Anime Expo!
