iCloud & the end of Apple Website Hosting?
With the announcement of iCloud from Apple, Apple has decided to end MobileMe, and any possible hosting of websites that are associated with MobileMeâs iDisk online data storage. Whats this mean for AnimeFunTV? It means we have up till June 30, 2012 to move our website to another dedicated server, which will also mean I have to do a complete re-deign of the site….. AGAIN.
Iâm in a search to find a online hosting service that is reasonably priced and is able to allow us to have our entire catalog of shows to view. The search begins….

Summer Show line-up & Events
Well, the City elections are done and over with. I got 5% of the vote for my District. Which all in all is not bad for a $0 balance campaign and just showing up to events.
What you all may be asking at this point is when in the hell are new shows going to start? Well, soon hopefully, I want to start airing some of the old-school footage I shot back when most of the crew was still together. That means mostly no AMVâs for a while until I get that stuff done.
Also we have a new Facebook page. I will let you know that the AFTV Facebook page will prolly contain more up-to-date stuff since its much easier to update that than it is updating the actual .com site
Another thing I have to let you guys know is the podcast page will more than likely wont be updated anytime soon. Its very frustrating, I know. Its actually very hard to find a reliable source online to keep the massive amounts of space in order to have all the old shows up. So until I can find a good source, the podcasts will not be updated anytime soon.
Lastly, San Japan:4TW is coming soon, we are once again hosting the AMV contest for San Japan. For more info on that, visit San-Japan.org
If yaâll have any comments or suggestions go to our Facebook page.

Long over-due Update
Many of you may wonder what is the status of AFTV, well currently its on hold due to the fact that I am running for City Councilman of San Antonio. Thats right, Iâm running in my district, District 3, You may see my Facebook Campaign page you can see all the articles that have mentioned me.
Win or lose, I plan to get back into working on new stuff for AFTV so I really appreciate everyoneâs patience for new shows.
