Hello all, As a movie and TV news site, SciFi Japan has generally avoided covering real world events. But yesterday`s massive earthquake and tsunami (and the resulting aftershocks) in Northern Japan really hit home for us. We`ve spent much of the past several hours calling, emailing, and checking Facebook to make sure that friends, family, and associates in Japan are alright, and we feel extremely fortunate that all of them appear to be okay. On a larger scale, there has been massive destruction and hundreds of lives lost. Our thoughts, prayers, and hopes go out to everyone affected by this tragedy. Chris MaGee of the website Toronto J-Film Pow-Wow has suggested that Japanese film sites and blogs should work together to provide information and links to reputable aid organizations who will be doing work in Miyagi Prefecture and other affected areas in Japan. We think this is a wonderful idea and will be posting relief effort information here as it becomes available. Please check back here or with Toronto J-Film Pow-Wow for updates. And if you can possibly donate to aid organizations, please do so. Thank you, Keith, Bob, and the Staff of SciFi Japan
