Otaku.fm is back and now on full auto pilot.
For folks who don't know, Otaku.fm is a news aggregator which polls items from dannychoo.com member feeds who are part of the "Featured Feeds - dannychoo.com" program. Have a look at Otaku.fm and you will see many gems in there.

Otaku.fm is running on the default theme of Mirai Gaia - will change it soon. Do you want a dark theme or a bright theme and which color sets would you like - pls provide urls as examples.

Mirai Gaia has a Core called Feed Fusion which not only aggregates news from feeds but also makes a thumbnail from the first image or video in the post.
All items are archived and you can see what the feed of Japan Probe looks like.

Folks who are too busy to visit the site can subscribe to the RSS feed instead.

If you would like to have posts from your site show up on otaku.fm then follow the instructions in the Featured Feeds - dannychoo.com post.

If you like otaku.fm, let your readers know its back ^^;

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

This item was posted in the Japanese Pop Culture category. You can see more of everything else or subscribe via RSS instead.

Yays, it's back~ ^-^ Personally, a light theme works well for me. I'm not too picky though XD

Thx Danny. Was missing otaku.fm so much. The new approval process must be great for new users.
Considering the size of the community now, I guess the old way of approving the feeds would need another co-worker, eh? ^_^

Excellent news, great to see Otaku.fm back, thanks for the hard work on getting in back Danny. ^^

Ah, I do notice that only thumbnails from large images look crisp and sharp, thumbnails from images say 550x150 look fuzzy. But that's nothing major.
