We at the Hen Da Ne staff… No, that’s not right. Hey, so I’m the new guy Sam, or Regris as most people know me. I’d like to personally apologize on behalf of Hen Da Ne and it’s staff as the website has unfortunately not been properly maintained for at least a month. This unfortunately means a lot of unaccounted for emails and purchases, but rest assured, these are being addressed as they’re found and dealt with with the customer in mind.
The actual situation behind all of this was frankly a sloppy change of hands from one set of management to my lap, of which the responsibility mostly lies on my shoulders. While I am unable to go back in time to fix my mistakes (No phone microwaves in sight, alas), I will see that all matters are resolved and dealt with on a case by case basis. If you have a question or think I missed something, please email me at samuel (at) hendane.com.
That said, I’d like to discuss the future of this website. As a vendor, our website admittedly is not our strongest point. Those who know us likely know us from conventions, as it is hard to miss the most iconic of our staff yelling his lungs out at any given show, our president Bryan (The yaoi guy). However I would like to take steps into giving this website it’s own means of success that isn’t just stirring up fangirls like a big-eyed broadway show. I’m going to try to, every Wednesday, submit a review of a doujin circle, game, or music and keep the convention schedule (coming soon, by the way) updated as well as I can. Even if you don’t come to buy something, I hope to at least give you, the reader, a bit of a “Oh, that’s cool” sentiment.
With that in mind, I look forward to working with you all and hope that your experience with Hen Da Ne as far away from the “hen” part of our name as possible.
Sincerely,
Regris Kallen (samuel (at) hendane.com)

As the summer winds down, we at Hen da ne find ourselves a little behind on our spring cleaning! As such, our online store will be down temporarily and we deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However, we are still doing shows and would like to thank everyone who came to visit us at Otakon in Baltimore, Anime Fest in Dallas, and Otakuthon in Montreal!
Our site should be back up and running soon, but in the meantime look forward to us at Senshi-Con in Anchorage, Alaska, or Anime Week Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia!
ありがとうございます！
 It’s that time again. We are journeying back into the blazing heat of Baltimore for Otakon. As can be expected, we brought not only the kitchen sink but last I checked we ripped up parts of the tiling and foundation as well. It is debatable if we even have room for all this stuff at our booth.
We are located in booths #404, 406, 408. If you can’t find us on a map, you can probably find us via yaoi yelling or bumping Touhou Project remixes. One or the other works.
What can one expect this time around? Certainly, there is never enough Madoka Magica doujinshi, and last we checked our stock of Hetalia books will probably break a table. One can expect to see more of wakamuraP’s lovely Hatsune Miku PV DVDs including a number of autographed ones from the man himself. If you are a true fan…perhaps you will win the right to purchase a signed copy. Finally, something about a Tsukibako…
 Otakon is on the horizon so there hasn’t been much time for news of any sort. However, in our lack of updates we make up in…slightly exciting occasional updates.
On the heels of our successful partnership with several Vocaloid circles during Anime Expo, we’ve held aside a number of these fine Vocaloid products for our web customers who may have not had the chance to attend Anime Expo or got to us right when things sold out. It happens.
We have in stock a number of copies of music CDs by Penguins Project, including an original vocal collaboration between them and Ritsuka. Tasogare Holic by Scripted city Revised. is also in stock although we have a very limited number of copies. The kagamination 2 CD and doujinshi set is also available now but is equally as limited.
You can get details and listen to samples of these CDs via our Promotional page.
 As many you may know, on March 11 of this year the Tohoku Earthquake caused widespread damage and loss of life with recovery efforts that continue to this day. Joining alongside others who have made the efforts to support disaster relief in the Tohoku region, Hendane! has teamed up with the Japanese Society for International Cultivation of Mutual Friendship to sell a doujinshi for the sake of disaster relief. The doujinshi, titled “Little Hands” features gorgeous illustrations from a veritable who’s who of Japanese artists including a number of international artists as well. Proceeds from the sale of this doujinshi will go directly to the Japanese Red Cross for the sake of disaster relief in Japan. This doujinshi will go on sale at Anime Expo this weekend and will also be made available at Otakon and online sales.
Hit the jump for more details on participating artists and samples from the doujinshi itself.
