Throwback Thursday is Retro Thursday! The Return of 60’s Anime Classics!!

Welcome to yet another installment of D&A’s Throwback Thursday! Tonight we return to the anime classics of the 60’s, that have paved the way for all the genres and titles that soon followed. If you’re looking for a title filled with drama and paranoia during the Edo-period of Japan, then check out a little series known as Kamui the Ninja! Tomorrow night we’ve got some great anime and manga titles for you to watch (and read) during the Christmas holiday. Saturday night we paint the snow red, as samurai of the Edo (and Sengoku) era return to make their mark on Slash Saturday!

On December 31 we’ll be posting a special end of the year message to our fans about what’s coming to the blog in 2017, updates on our anime convention tour, and our one year anniversary surprise that we want to give to you (the fans)! It’s been a wonderful year for us and we’re gonna do it all over again next year!! ๐Ÿ™‚

Another Double Shift! D&A Fridays and Slash Saturdays Round 2!!

Once again we’ve overslept on our time last night to bring you a double header tonight! It’s Round two of our double shift special; as we bring you our anime and manga titles from D&A Fridays; and samurai anime goodness from Slash Saturday! Hopefully next Friday and Saturday night we’ll get back on track, but if worse comes to worse we’ll bring you another double shift from your two favorite days of the week. ๐Ÿ™‚

Our New Year’s Resolution: Big Plans are Coming for 2017!!

With Christmas and New Years only two weeks away, we at D&A Anime Blog gotta say that it’s been quite a nice ride for our first year! We can’t thank you (the fans) enough for all the positive feedback about the blog and our segments, that we’ve been getting. As you know; we’re kicking off our miniature anime convention tour starting January, 13 2017 at Animore in Baltimore, MD. Of course that’s not all we have planned…

To celebrate our one year anniversary we’re unleashing a new page on the blog that’s sure to get you drenched in nostalgia! That page will make its mark on January 11th. We’re also going to have an age range limit on the blog for certain drop-down menus starting Monday December 19, 2016. That limit being between 14 and 65.

New video content will be coming to our youtube page in the form of AMVs, and vlogs of our tour to different anime conventions. In 2018 we’ll be rolling out the red carpet for our newest music section; Groundz Playlist, featuring original mixes produced by D&A’s founder (D.J. Lewis aka Spinmaster Groundz). There’s so much awesome stuff coming to D&A that we’ve only covered half of it, but now you know where we plan on going for the new year. So to all the anime and manga fans out there, thank you! We love you! And here’s to what’s ahead for us in 2017!! ๐Ÿ™‚

Child Detectives and Steam Powered Robots! Thursday Night is Throwback Night!!

Throwback Thursday returns with some more anime titles of the 90’s, as we keep the nostalgia alive for many of our fans who grew up watching 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s anime! (Or Japanimation as we used to call it.) Get yourself hooked on detective classics like Case Closed and Steam Detectives, or hit a grand slam with the girls from Princess Nine! Thursday nights are always a fun time to look back on top classics that defined the anime world, so for that we at D&A say thank you to all of the production companies, creators, and artists that have paved the way for the anime we see today! Kudos!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Dango and Fishing! D&A Makes Mondays Rock!!

Never have we missed a Monday night where you didn’t have fun, and time and time again we at D&A continue to strive in that area. Although this post is a little bit shorter than our previous ones, we’re gonna keep this flow of ours going for as long as we can! Again, we can’t say how much we appreciate our fanbase for their support and love, and for that – WE THANK YOU!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

D&A Double Shift! D&A Fridays and Slash Saturdays are Up and Running!

Well guys, we did it! We have finally posted our picks for our D&A Fridays and Slash Saturday lineup. It’s jam-packed with some awesome anime and manga titles that you may know about, but might have yet to see (or even read) them. Fantasy worlds, monster breeders, and wondering samurai are the name of the game this time around. So we hope you enjoy our picks and check em’ out when you get the chance! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Sleepless Nights and A Voyage of Gold! Throwback Thursdays Marks The Days of Old!!

We’re poets and didn’t even know it! Anyway, Throwback Thursdays has returned to the 80’s with some classic anime titles that will re-ignite everything you loved about that decade. Enjoy a title about a girl fighting off demons in your dreams, or set yourself up for an adventure to the New World. Either way, you’re in for a classic 1980’s treat when you set your sights on D&A Anime Blog!

Tomorrow we return with more anime and manga titles in our Anime and Manga of the Week, plus Slash Saturday returns with samurai anime titles as well as our Hall of Fame inductees! See you all tomorrow right here on D&A! It’s a part of you…

Wizards, Bananas, and Lawyers (Oh My)! Just Another Monday @ D&A!

Even though it’s Monday again, we’re sure that you’re going to go bananas for what we’ve got in store for you today! We’ve got some lesser-known titles and Japanese snacks that will not only make you object what you hate about Mondays, but send your sweet tooth on a sugary and blissful journey. In just a few weeks we’ll be posting an end of the year announcement on our youtube page, plus some info on what new fanfiction will be making its way into the blog. All that and more coming soon! ๐Ÿ™‚

WE’RE OVER 5,000 Views!!!

It’s official; we have now crossed the 5,000 view threshold and we have you guys (the fans) to thank! We’re so excited about what 2017 will bring, as we countdown the last 27 days of 2016. January 11th will mark our One Year Anniversary; and we’ve gotta say, who would have thought we would make it all the way through an entire year. 2016 has been a fun ride for A. Goldman and Yours Truly, but we’re just getting started!

We’ll be posting a special announcement on our youtube page next week about the future plans for D&A Anime Blog, and what will happen if we reach 10,000 views. We’re sorry we had to postpone our Slash Saturday segment tonight, but don’t worry – for it will return next Saturday night! Until then we thank you for supporting us, and stay true my fellow otaku! ๐Ÿ˜‰
