J-List Notes: New Features, New Calendars

There are a lot of awesome new features on the all-new J-List website, and I'll tell you two of my favorites. First, I like the new option to view products in a grid form rather than a vertical list, which is very convenient for scanning items you think look interesting and clicking the image to bring up the product page. The setting is "sticky" too, remembering your choice for all other pages. Then, I'm positively in love with the new ability to sort your view order, by "newest" (newly updated items on top of older ones), "best sellers" based on popularity, "most wishlisted" based on how often our customers added the items to their wishlists, or price. What do you like about the new J-List?

We are loaded to the gills with gorgeous anime, traditional photo, art and other 2011 calendars from Japan. In addition to posting a bunch of really nice calendars which just came in stock, the J-List staff is adding photos to the calendar product pages. We've got the new Japanese castles calendar in, printed on gorgeous film rather than paper, plus a new Lucky Cat traditional art calendar. Anime fans have plenty of great calendars to choose from, including Bleach and Katekyo Hitman Reborn! One of my favorite calendars every year is the official Pixiv offering, and we've posted inside photos for you to check out (warning, they're pretty awesome).
