What a great con!! We at D&A just want to thank all of the staff that handled Animore 2017! There was so much love and so much respect for each other that both A. Goldman and Yours Truly, could just cry (anime) tears of joy. Shout outs to all the vendors, all the artists, all the voice actors, and of course…all the fans!
A new page known as the Animore Cosplay Mosaic has now been created on the blog, so if you want to check out your cosplay pics, be sure to check that page out! We’ll also be working on the video highlights of the con as well as the pages for The Legacy page, so stay tuned for that! You guys are the reason why D&A Anime Blog even exists, and for that, WE THANK YOU!!! ๐

Robots and Pretz! Our First Miscellany Monday of the New Year!!
Sorry we’re a little late but we’re back to welcome our first Miscellany Monday of the new year! We’ve got some great lesser-known anime titles for you to check out, as well as some delicious Japanese snacks to chow down on. Sink your teeth into a crunchy and delectable snack from the same makers as pocky, or enjoy a lesser-known awesome anime sci-fi thriller with a touch of romance called Robotics;Notes! Either way, we plan on keeping up our pace with bringing you some great titles and some good food, cuz’ that’s how we do it right here on D&A Anime Blog! It’s a part of you…
Cut Through 2016 with a Slash! 2017 Slash Saturday Has Arrived!!
Slash through the problems you’ve had in 2016, and say hello to a new year with new excitement in 2017! Slash Saturday has returned with some samurai anime titles and Hall of Fame inductees for the new year. Revisit the bloody period that is the Sengoku Period (of Feudal Japan) with Yukimura and Date in Sengoku Basara, of check our male and female Hall of Fame inductees both past and present!
Next weekend we’ll be on tour at Animore 2017, so we’ll be rescheduling our Slash Saturday segment for the weekend after. Until next time, this is D&A signing off! See ya, and enjoy Toonami!! ๐
It’s Our First D&A Friday of the New Year!! (And it’s Magical! ^.^)
We’re already six days into the new 2017 year, and we’re just getting started baby! We kick it off with our first D&A Fridays of the new year; featuring some anime and manga titles that we know you’re gonna love! Fight off witches using your magical powers granted to you by a furry little cat in Madoka Magica, or share the love and empathy you have for another person (er, alien) in DearS. When it comes to Fridays, we’re your go-to guys for some of the latest and greatest reviews in anime, and manga!
Tomorrow will mark the first Slash Saturday of the New Year so get ready for that! And on that note, we’ll catch you guys next time right here on D&A! It’s a part of you…
It May Be The New Year…But Old School Never Dies!
We’ve all heard that saying, “Everything old becomes new again” right? Well the same can be said about our Throwback Thursdays, cuz we’re still goin’ strong! This week we return to the 90’s decade where such classics like Sailor Moon, DBZ, and Cowboy Bebop have paved the way for most (if not many) of the anime titles that we see here today. Normally we’d review three classics from the 90’s, but because were gearing up for our mini anime convention tour as well as creating The Legacy drop down menu, we’ve dialed it down to one.
Next week we kick off our tour at Animore 2017, so our Thursday, Friday, and Saturday segments for next week will be switched to the following week after the con. Tomorrow D&A Fridays return with our first anime and manga title of the new year, and Saturday will bring us the sword-swinging era of Japan; the Edo Period! Until then guys, enjoy the first week of the new year!! ๐

Our updated locations include; Northwest, Southwest, Southbound, and the Westbound regions! If you’re looking to get your 2017 anime con season started right, then be sure to check out our newest cons on our Cons Near U page.

New Con Approaching! 2017 Con Season Begins!!
A new year brings new beginnings, but in a case like this it also brings in a new year of anime conventions all across North America! After doing some late-night research we’ve stumbled upon a brand new anime convention that’s coming to the Baltimore Convention Center; which was the former home of a con we know all to well.
Otaku Magazine is hosting its first ever Anime Fest right here in Baltimore, MD on the first weekend in June of this year. So if you’re an Otakon con goer who’s looking to return to the BCC before August of 2017, then look no further, cuz’ June 3rd and 4th will be your year to geek out with your friends at this newfound con! Between now and January 7th we’ll be posting all of the upcoming anime cons for this month on our Cons Near U page, so be sure to check it out when you get the chance! We’ve also updated our tour stops on our Con Appearances page, so for more info head there to see what up! ๐
One Year Later…
We’re still shocked that it has been a whole year since we’ve created D&A, so to celebrate this momentous occasion, we’ve decided to introduce a new page that most (if not many) of you might be familiar with! Right alongside our Slash Saturday drop down menu will be a sub menu known as The Legacy; which is a drop down of Toonami fan pages covering everything from its creation, its history, and (possibly) some promos. If you are a 90’s kid, and most of us probably are, then you already know that Tom has been a part of your life since the day he arrived. (Long before that it was that one villain from Space Ghost.) So to honor its rise, fall, and return, we at D&A Anime Blog are creating that sub menu known as…The Legacy…
