That&#8217;s Butsu Zone, Shaman King, Jyuki Ningen Jumbor, Ultimo, Jumbor, and everything else. So everything is on the table for discussion. Anime, manga, videogames, TCG, spin-offs, fan projects, random speculation! Anything, and everything.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Now some of you may ask, &#8220;Why run a blog? Why not a full website, with forums and such?&#8221; The simple answer is, that it&#8217;s alot of work. And I&#8217;ve done that before (Shaman Online, Shaman King Nation, The Great Spirit). I&#8217;m trying for something else. A more of a fan-ranting personal level. And not that ranting as &#8220;Gah! Why did he do this!?&#8221; but more like &#8220;Ok, this is really awesome that he did this.&#8221; The world of Shaman King news is covered well already (Shaman King Nation), and filling in the missing holes in the manga in English is covered too (Mankin-Trad). But there isn&#8217;t much of a community or place to just kinda &#8220;hang-out&#8221; and talk about the events that are happening.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Why now? Well, Shaman King Zero is a good start. That&#8217;s looking great. And how about Ultimo which is chugging right along? And the latest chapters in Jumbor? It sure isn&#8217;t Jyuki Ningen Jumbor anymore! So there is alot to discuss for the future and right now. Plus I&#8217;ve been around the Shaman King community a very, very long time. I&#8217;ve seen the Shaman King community &#8220;back in the day&#8221; and stuck with it all this time. So maybe some of you haven&#8217;t followed it since it was being released in Weekly Shonen Jump. I&#8217;ve got some stories for you to hear as well. So some old, and some new!<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The most important part is how updated this blog is. Since having a good shell of a website is no good unless it gets updated. I&#8217;m not going to make any promises on how often it will be updated, but, I got alot ot say. If something happens, for the most part, I&#8217;ll have an opinion. And you can too! That&#8217;s why we have comments. I&#8217;m normally pretty up-to-date on the latest news, so if there is something, I&#8217;ll post about it. But not only me, but some of our other staff as well. I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll have a &#8220;Hey, look at me!&#8221; post at some point. So I&#8217;ll let them introduce themselves. And who knows who else may come help out posting blog topics in the future. We are keeping an open mind and listening to your feedback. I would like this place to be more of a discussion, rather than standing on a soapbox. I&#8217;ll provide my point of view, but feel free to tell me I&#8217;m wrong!<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>So that&#8217;s what I have for now. There is more to come very soon. So keep checking, since we&#8217;ve got alot\u00a0to talk about, so pour yourself a cup of coffee, and come sit and chat here at the Patch Cafe.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello to all and welcome! \u00a0 My name is Andy and this little site here is called &#8220;Patch Cafe,&#8221; a fan run blog about all of Hiroyuki Takei&#8217;s series.
