FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

RIGHT STUF LAUNCHES THE “NEW” RIGHTSTUF.COM New look for 20th Anniversary, plus expanded sections for anime superstore, Nozomi Entertainment & Anime Today podcast.

GRIMES, IA, October 30, 2007 – Anime producer and distributor Right Stuf, Inc. continues its 20th anniversary celebration with the Web site launch of the “new” RightStuf.com, featuring expanded sections for its online anime superstore, Nozomi Entertainment production division and Anime Today podcast.

In addition to the new “look,” creating an even more positive visitor experience was a driving force for the project, said Right Stuf Chief Technology Officer Richard Harms. “We wanted to better showcase the things that make Right Stuf special. From RSS feeds that allow you to subscribe to news and new product additions in the store, updates from Nozomi Entertainment and podcast episodes to making the answers to those ‘frequently asked questions’ more readily available.”

RightStuf.com – Home

The RightStuf.com homepage gives visitors one-click access to the online superstore, the Nozomi Entertainment site, the Anime Today site and RightStuf.com customer service.

– While clicking on these “tabs” will take visitors to each area’s section, passing one’s cursor over the exclamation point (!) on each tab will reveal a drop-down menu that allows the visitor to view a list of what that specific section contains, as well as instant access to those contents.

– The “What’s Hot” menu includes direct links to weekly specials, pre-orders, new/changed items and contests, plus the ability to search the store from the front page.

Savings Club, the Right Stuf mailing list subscription page, company history, affiliate program, anime fan support (anime clubs, conventions and screening permissions), the Right Stuf print catalog and more.

– And the homepage continues to feature the latest news (also now available as an RSS/subscription feed), current best-sellers from the RightStuf.com superstore and what’s new from Nozomi Entertainment.
