Another year has come and gone and now we prepare for 365 more days of madness. Hi-Def Ninja just wrapped up another fantastic year which included highlights such as the release of PHENOMENA, the Black Label Series #002 Blu-ray SteelBook, our second appearance at MondoCon in Austin, Texas, and another great Ninja Week showing from both community members as well as generous donators.

Of course, 2016 was not the best year for everyone as it also saw an immense amount of talented individuals pass away. Celebrities from David Bowie to Alan Rickman to Gene Wilder to Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds (among many, many others) left us this year and while the Ninja Spirit has remained strong around here, there’s definitely been heartbreaking moments. Nevertheless, we can only look forward and fondly remember all of the wonderful work that these artists gave us during their time on this earth.

And look forward we shall. 2017 is looking to be another enormous year for both HDN and all of our community. There’s so much in the pipeline and we can’t wait to share with you what’s in store. So on behalf of the staff, writers, and moderators of Hi-Def Ninja, we’d like to wish you a very Happy New Year!
