Convention Reviews with D.J. Lewis: Ocean City Comic-Con!

Aside D&A Anime Blog Anime Conventions, Con Appearances, D&A Studios, Filler Posts

In the fifteen years that I’ve been attending anime and gaming conventions; a lot has changed in terms of demographic, atmosphere, quality, and structure. I think about the time I went to Otakon in 2008, and how much the convention scene has changed since then. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy that there are more conventions now than ever that fans can go to; thanks to anime being among the mainstream ranks (even to the point where we now have Luffy alongside Goku, in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade). However a part of me misses those ‘grass roots’ fundamentals that conventions used to have; where there was a greater emphasis on the art, passion, fandom, and creativity found in the medium itself. Basically, a part of me misses the days when conventions used to be about the ‘Art’, and less about the ‘Celebrity’!

One thing I’ve noticed since the pandemic ended (sort of), is the rise of more traditional anime and comic conventions. Back in 2022 I had the opportunity to attend Stellar Con in Bel-Air, MD. It reminded me so much of comic conventions back in the early 2000’s; with a more chill out and laxed vibe compared to modern conventions. I returned again in 2023 alongside my D&A partner, Aaron Goldman, and with a little bit of networking, I suddenly found myself on the road to another convention located in Ocean City, Maryland. This…was Ocean City Comic Con.

Ocean City Comic Con 2023

The last time I was here in Ocean City, “Who Let The Dogs Out?!” was the hit of the Summer! I had a small feeling that if there was a small population of nerds in the Eastern Shore, they would probably be in Ocean City. (And somehow I was right!) We were able to make our first appearance as Press for this convention thanks to being invited by the convention chair/owner, and I gotta say, we had an amazing time! It really felt like Baltimore Comic-Con with a bit of a modern-retro twist; meaning that there was a mixture of old school and new school fans across all fandoms.

Of course when it comes to conventions being held at convention centers, one of the biggest gripes fans have is ‘Line-Con’. This ‘convention’ comes with the territory so there’s no way of absolutely avoiding it (unless you’re Press or VIP), but with OCCC (Ocean City Comic Con) they really had the line structure well put together. I wish there was a better way to explain that, but let’s just say they did a great job keeping the line moving, while making sure everyone got in safely.

There were vendors, guests, and artists galore! There really wasn’t a dull moment found inside this con at all. In fact I’d say that I got the same feeling from this convention, as I did when I attended Stellar Con – only magnified! Fans from all ages and fandoms were in attendance (with anime rep only coming in second to Marvel and DC), as the staff was really cool and laid back.ย 

So, What Else About Ocean City Comic-Con?

After touring through the Dealer’s Room/Artist Alley, we found ourselves in a couple of panels. The programming of the panels was actually pretty good and had variety, so whether you were a Star Wars geek or an anime nerd, there was always something going on for you to check out. If there was one gripe I have about Ocean City Comic Con, I wish it was longer than just one day, but it looks like my prayers have been answered, because 2024’s convention will now be 2 days long!

I never really thought about Maryland’s Eastern Shore being a nerd culture destination, but with Ocean City having both an anime convention (as well as its very own comic-con), it allows ‘The Bay’ to wave its own flag and embrace its nerdy side. I’m a bit excited to see where this convention goes now that its growing into a two-day venture, and somewhere in the mix we hope to be a part of that journey.

All in all, this is a convention that you’re going to love!

Until next post, stay nerdy! ๐Ÿ˜‰ย  ย 

D&A’s Checkpoint Check-In (November 30, 2024)!

Aside D&A Anime Blog Anime Conventions, Blog Updates, Blogging, Con Appearances, Filler Posts, Uncategorized

Well, December starts tomorrow; meaning that there’s only 31 days of 2023 left. Here we are in between holidays once again like we were last year…and the many, many years before. Next week will be our last convention of 2023; Ocean City Comic-Con in Ocean City, Maryland, and we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to stack con appearances for 2024 while meeting a few con runners there. Lately we’ve been doing our best to remain transparent about our needs in regards to the future of D&A, and where we want to go from here as a nerd multimedia brand. Somewhere down the line we’ll be making D&A Studios Entertainment as our primary brand, and having D&A Anime Blog as well as our Nerdz of the Decade Youtube podcast, as subsidiaries. (Since BASSMODE: Nerdz Nite Out is an independent event promotion, that’s financially powered by D&A Studios Entertainment, it will not be considered as a subsidiary.)

We’re looking for new ways for this project to make revenue in order to keep operating, of course due to the after effects of the pandemic, its been a slow climb. We’re thankful that we got the opportunity to return to the con circuit after a three-year hiatus, however with where we are on the financial side of things, we’ve decided to stay local; in terms of the anime and gaming conventions that we make appearances at. You probably won’t see us at your Anime Expo’s or Galaxycon’s or any of the major cons right now (not say we won’t attend in the future), but if you live in DMV (D.C., Maryland, Pennsylvania), then you’ll run into us at those cons.

If we haven’t said it before, we want to thank all of our fans and fellow anibloggers, for all of your support you’ve given us over the years since the start of this project. We’re hoping we can continue to grow our brand, and be the best version of ourselves in the process.

Until next post, stay nerdy! ๐Ÿ˜‰

A Founder’s Thoughts with D.J. Lewis: 2024!

Aside D&A Anime Blog Anime Conventions, Blog Updates, Blogging, Con Appearances, Filler Posts

November is here if you haven’t already noticed, and with that comes two of the biggest holidays that involve food and money; Thanksgiving, and Christmas. During this final quarter of 2023, we had the opportunity to go to two conventions with a third on the way; Stellar Con in Bel Air, MD, and PuchiCon in Tannersville, PA. I’m just happy that after three years we’re finally back on the con circuit, although a lot has changed within the convention scene since our last convention in January of 2020. So with 2024 approaching, what will Aaron and I be doing with this project going forward?

Us at PuchiCon 2023

You guys should already be familiar with the story; we started back in January 2016 and made our convention debut at AniMore, then went to other cons in 2017 while meeting and chatting with voice actors, then spent the next three years building our brand and reputation in the anime community. Suddenly Covid hit and sidelined us for about 2 1/2 years, we created a podcast called “Nerdz of the Decade”, had voice actors and content creators on the show to build our rep even more, and finally returned to the con circuit this year.

With all of that said, what’s next for D&A? While I’m still cautiously optimistic about the future of this project, I’m still very much involved with D&A; despite the fact that I quit due to the outside stress of life, only to come back three months later. As far as what conventions we’ll be making appearances at, we’re most likely going to stay local and just attend the ones in Maryland and Pennsylvania. (Maybe New York and New Jersey, but we’ll see.) Although its still in its infancy as a brand, BASSMODE: Nerdz Nite Out is starting to pick up a little steam. If you don’t know what BASSMODE is, allow me to tell you.

BASSMODE: Nerdz Nite Out is a promotion that celebrates anime, cosplay, gaming, music, and nerd culture through ‘afterparty’ social events. I am both the founder and head promoter of it. It is an event promotion that promotes positivity throughout the nerd community, as well as the culture that its apart of. We kick off our debut event on March 30th next year, and hope to bring BASSMODE events to conventions. I also see this promotion as a way to help DJs gain experience playing in front of crowds, because I’ve noticed that a lot of them became ‘Bedroom DJs’ during the pandemic. (I did too!)

Like I said before, I’m still cautiously optimistic about the future of D&A, but I believe we’re taking steps in the right direction in terms of our growth, and connections we’ve made along the way. Never would I thought that in the 7-going-on-8 years we’ve been active, that we would reach this point with D&A. With enough time, patience, and grinding, we can be one of the best anime blog/multimedia brands out there. For me, if you have a dream and a passion to do something, don’t sit at the window and think about it – DO IT! We never thought we’d get this far, but we kept at it. I don’t know what the next few years are going to be like when it comes to this project, but we’re making great progress, and that’s all that matters to me now.

Until next post.

A Founder’s Review with D.J. Lewis: PuchiCon 2023!

Aside D&A Anime Blog Anime, Anime Con Tips, Anime Conventions, Con Appearances, D&A Studios

Its hard to believe that January 2020 was the last time I’ve been to an anime convention. A lot has changed in the convention scene since I was first introduced to it back in July 2008. Before Aaron and I formed D&A Anime Blog / D&A Studios Entertainment, one of the biggest local Baltimore, MD anime conventions we’ve gone to, was Otakon. We didn’t really know much about small/mid-sized conventions until 2016; when AniMore made its debut in Baltimore just as Otakon announced that it was moving to Washington, D.C. that same year.

From 2017-2020, Aaron and I have had the chance to check out other conventions besides Otakon; like Zenkaikon, Anime USA, Thy Geekdom Con, and Katsucon. Now, after a three-year drought (thanks to covid), we find ourselves attending an anime convention in Pennsylvania that was new to us. Located at the Camelback Ski Resort in Tannersville, PA in the Pocono Mountains, we had the honor of going to PuchiCon for its 2023 event.

PuchiCon 2023: The Convention

After a three-hour drive from Baltimore to Tannersville, we arrived at the convention held at the Camelback Resort. If you’re familiar with the Kalahari Resort, Camelback is pretty much like that…but a bit smaller. One of the coolest things I like about smaller conventions is that the registration line is a lot shorter than average conventions. After checking in to the hotel we made our way to the fourth floor where the convention was held. Hosting the convention here at Camelback does give the con goers a lot to do besides just going to panels and playing video games; you can also swim in the wave pool, slide down the waterslides, and hit up the arcade on the first floor.

Once we got to the fourth floor, Aaron and I got the same feeling we got when we went to AniMore for the first time – and it was great! It was also convenient because we were on the same floor as the con itself. With everything being on one floor, it actually makes everything convenient for the con goer while reducing travel from one side of the venue, to the other. This year (as this is our first time attending this convention), the con split its panels and events into two buildings; with a shuttle that you can take to get to the other building, and bring you back to the main building. I like that, because they took into account where the venue was located, and made accommodations based on the fact. At first I was a bit worried, because it would be a bad idea if they made convention goers have to walk from the hotel venue, to the second building.

Mainly because we’re in the mountains, and when it gets dark…its not safe for anyone.

PuchiCon 2023: The Panels, Artist Alley & Dealer’s Room

Once Aaron and I made it to the Dealer’s Room/Artist Alley, we were blown away! There were so many vendors that were both local and out of state (mainly from New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Baltimore). This is like the main attraction for anime conventions, because this is the area where con goers can find great deals on figures, keychains, art, limited addition items, and so much more. This is also the area where you can buy prints and even get them signed by your favorite voice actors, in fact we even got a print signed by Paul St. Peter; who did the voice of Leomon from the OG Digimon. We even had the chance to check out some of the snack vendors that were there as well.

Now for the panels. This ties into how convenient PuchiCon has made it for con goers to see all of their favorite panels, while exploring some new ones. One of the biggest pet peeves I have with conventions (next to ‘B.O. issues’) is when panels overlap, but with this convention they were well spaced out. I like that about this convention, because it gives con goers some breathing room to get to the next panel after the previous one is finished, and not feel rushed because it starts immediately after the one they’ve just left.

The variety of the panels is also nice because you get some that are game shows, some that are interactive, and some that are informative. In the other building they had Frontier Pro Wrestling along with a panel about the wrestling industry, and sadly we didn’t get the chance to go, but I thought it was pretty cool that the convention added that in their program. There aren’t too many conventions that I know of that also incorporate professional wrestling content in their program. Once sundown hit, we made our way to the 18+ panels as well as the PuchiCon Pool Party featuring DJ Kyon. I’d say the highlight of the night was the Cards Against Humanity panel, and the pool party. (Maybe Avidd Minddset might make a DJ guest appearance one day.)

PuchiCon 2023: The Conclusion

To top everything off, PuchiCon is a great convention to check out if you want to go to a con that doesn’t feel overwhelming. For every large mainstream convention, there’s a bunch of smaller more laid back ones that don’t feel to stressful. After being out of the con circuit for three years, we were excited about going to this convention. Even though it was only two days long, there was a lot to do and see, and hopefully if (and when) they do become a three-day convention, that PuchiCon keeps that ‘community sense’ about itself.

Once anime/gaming conventions reach a point where they’re along the levels of Anime Expo or San Diego Comic-Con, they lose that ‘community sense’ that was once a core part of their identity; and it becomes about profit rather than people. Along with community sense is public safety; which should be a #1 priority for every convention regardless of how big, or small your convention is. Finally, convention management is one of the things that can make, or break a convention. I can’t tell you how many stories I’ve heard around the anime convention community, about the way certain conventions treat their guests and staff, but I’m not gonna get into that.

We’ve had the opportunity to meet and chat with the founder and CEO of PuchiCon, Jennifer Perez. She’s one of the coolest and nicest people that we’ve ever met, and we can proudly say, she knows how to throw a great con! PuchiCon is one of the coolest small conventions that we’ve gone to, that has left a big impression on us. I’d say without a doubt, this is a convention that you don’t wanna miss!

Until next post, stay nerdy my friends!

A Founder’s Thoughts with D.J. Lewis: Since I’ve Been Gone…

Aside D&A Anime Blog Anime Conventions, Blog Updates, Channel Updates, Con Appearances, Filler Posts, Uncategorized

Alright. So from last week’s post, you guys are aware that I made my return to our Youtube channel, as well as the blog itself. The only major change was that fact that I would only be posting occasionally, as well as making occasional appearances on Youtube. That’s great news, right? Well yes, and no. Since making my “seemingly” farewell post on March 31st; thanking all of our fans and followers for making D&A Anime Blog what it is, it left me with time to think about the future of this project. I don’t think I’ll ever grow bored or tired of anime, because if I did, this project would’ve ended a long time ago.

I think now in the seven (going on eight) years that we’ve been active in the anime community, as well as the convention circuit, there are functioning aspects about D&A that I fear will put us on the path to a slow death. I’m not trying to scare you guys into thinking that D&A won’t be able to function at 100% capacity, now that I’ve pulled back on consistency. However at this stage of the game I got to be honest; we really need help!ย 

Yep…we need help.

Growing a business also comes with growing pains, and in our case, D&A is growing at a rate that we might not be able to keep up in the long term. So what exactly do we need help with? Well, I’m gonna tell you.

#1. Writers and Contributors

Since stepping away, the rate of content that we produce for the blog has declined over recent months. At the time, I was the only writer producing articles and reviews just to keep the consistent flow of content going. However it was only accelerating my burnout, which in turn led to making a post about needing more writers and contributors to help produce content for us. From first glance I get that we ‘look’ like a high profile article print/publishing company, but that’s only on the outside. We are nothing but a staff of two guys who really love anime, Japanese culture, Marvel, and DC comics, and want to talk about it whenever we want. Our only problem now is the fact that for many writers, you have to pay them. (They do a lot of work, so they should be paid.) Which leads us into our second biggest issue.

#2. Revenue

There are so many ways you can make money as a blogger despite it being only passive income. We tried generating enough content and promotion to help land us 1,000 subs and 4,000 watch hours. (The subs we got, but the watch hours…not so much.) So we looked into other ways to try and make some revenue for this project, in order to cover operational costs and upgrades to on-site equipment for press coverage of conventions. Recently we’ve finally opened up our own merch store and got a couple new affiliates to try and generate enough revenue to keep us operating, but that’s just it – it’s only enough to keep us operating.

We want to make more revenue to provide compensation for our writers and contributors as a way to thank them, plus there are some other projects that we want to work on to help expand our brand’s presence within the community, and to other conventions everywhere. We’re really limited in the things we want to do, so if you guys want to see more quality content (and even exclusive content), you can send us a donation on the D&A Donations page, or by so merch from our store. Every little bit helps.

#3. Convention Content

Cons are expensive, there’s no other way I can say it. Because of the pandemic, a lot of our local cons have either dissolved or moved to other states. The average con goer is probably looking at $750-$1000 at best to go to a 3-day convention in 2023; depending where that convention is located, the hotel that they’re staying in, badge cost, etc. Its gotten harder for us to try and provide convention content for you guys due to the rise of prices, and lack of revenue. So we’ve been working on trying to get guest bookings in hopes of elevating half, or all of the cost of getting to these conventions. This will not only help us produce more convention content, but also expand our brand as a whole.

To close this out; D&A has become something special to both me and Aaron, and although many people have stated that we have so much potential, we’re also in dire need of help to reach our full potential. So if you’re out there and you like blogging about nerdy stuff, or want to become a part of our project, subscribe to our blog and social media platforms, and even send us a donation or by some merch.

Stay nerdy my friends.ย ย 

Breaking News From D.J. Lewis: I’m Back! (Sort of…)

Aside D&A Anime Blog Anime, Anime Conventions, Anime Reviews, Blog Updates, Con Appearances, Filler Posts

Let’s see…how do I put this…

I’m back…but on a occasional basis. It’s been almost a year since my last appearance on our Youtube channel and podcast. A lot of things have happened IRL; some of which is too sad to talk about, while the rest is just me reprioritizing certain aspects of my life. As for where I am right now, I’m not fully where I want to be just yet, but I’m doing much better mentally and emotionally than I was seven months ago. Although I’m back on occasion, I didn’t come empty-handed. I came with some awesome announcements to share with you guys about what’s going on for the remainder of 2023, and possibly 2024. So, here we go.ย 

We’re Back on the Road to Conventions as D&A Studios Entertainment!!

While I was away for half-a-year (Youtube-wise), I was still reaching out to anime conventions in hopes that we would at least be picked up to do press work for them. Most of them haven’t responded back yet, but one convention reached out to us almost immediately! October 21-22 we’ll be making our FIRST convention appearance (as Press) since Animore 2020, at PuchiCon at the Camelback Resort in Pocono Mountiains, PA! They also have a second convention in Atlantic City, NJ so we might even get booked there in 2024. After three years of no conventions for ya’ boyz, D&A is back on the road again!

Avidd Minddset has a New Event Coming Spring 2024 Powered By D&A Studios Entertainment!

So this came to me in a vision I had last week; although we don’t have enough resources to produce our own convention just yet, I want to create something that brings together all of the entertainment attributes that makes anime/gaming conventions fun. So I decided to create a brand social ‘afterparty’ type event called BASSMODE: Nerdz Nite Out. This event is a celebration of the love, respect, and passion we have for not just anime as a medium, but the anime/gaming community and nerd culture as a whole. The inspiration for the theme of this event stemmed from other nerd entertainment brands such as NYC’s Senpai Project, and Otakus With Attitude (OWA). Could this event become something major down the road? Ya never know! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Occasional Posts, Reviews & Articles!

Since I’ll only be around occasionally (both on Youtube and the blog), I’ll also be occasionally posting articles and reviews on anime, and other current events happening within the industry. You won’t see me on a consistent basis, but when new announcements drop, you’ll see a post or article about it. I may occasionally do a One-2-One on anime characters like ‘days of old’, or even a Top 10. You never know what might pop up, but yes, I’m back…but on an occasional basis.

That will do it for me, so until next post, stay nerdy! ๐Ÿ˜‰ย ย 

A Founder’s Review with D.J. Lewis: Stellar Con 2022

Aside D&A Anime Blog Anime Conventions, Con Appearances, Con Locations, Filler Posts

Hey. So…where do I begin with this…? Its been a month since I’ve written any article or made any blog post; only because I was going through a combination of burnout, and grief. It wasn’t until 72 hours ago that I found out another actor from my childhood had passed roughly several days after one of my favorite actors had passed. Jason David Frank, although I never got the chance to meet him, he along with Kevin Conroy played a part of my childhood – along with a lot of other 90’s kids who grew up watching Batman: The Animated Series, and Mighty Morphing Power Rangers. Both of them will be truly missed, but they will always be remembered.

So, how do I begin with this? A few weeks ago we were hoping to make our first convention appearance at an anime convention in New Jersey called DerpyCon, however that didn’t quite happen. With yet another convention cancellation my mind when back into con withdraw, and I was scrambling looking for a convention near Baltimore (where D&A is headquartered and also where I live) that I could go to. Surely enough there was a convention called Stellar Con that was located just on county away from Baltimore, in Harford County. I along with my family and a few of her clients went to this con to see what it was all about. Although it was a one-day convention, there were several voice actors, actors, and professional cosplayers there too.

My first con back in two-and-a-half years…

Right off the bat it was pretty much like Baltimore Comic-Con during its early years. There was representation from EVERY fandom; Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Anime, Video Games, Sci-Fi, Pop Culture, you name it! There were also superstar voice actors there as well; including the likes of Khary Payton and Dante Basco. I also met a few of our fans out there, and of course the vendors had some awesome stuff as well. Like every nerd convention; it had gaming tournaments, cosplay contests, autograph lines and panels. Stellar Con is hosted by Transcendent Events (who were also at Baltimore’s former anime convention, AniMore), and honestly…I actually had a fun time.

The only suggestion I would have for this convention would be to make it longer than one day, because there was a lot to do at this convention – yet not enough time to do it. I’d say make it a two-day convention and have it in a big hotel like the Marriott or the Holiday Inn & Suites. Sure the convention was held in a basketball arena next to a community college, but they give you a certain amount of time that you’re allowed to occupy that space; by 6pm you gotta go home! All in all, Stellar Con indeed lived up to its name as my first convention back since 2019, and I think it will have the potential to be even more stellar as a two-day convention; and possibly a three-day one if their budget allows.ย 

Here’s hoping D&A will be at the next one, until next post, stay nerdy!

Our Return To Zenkaikon!

2017 was the most active year for us going to cons and promoting our blog, and one of the cons that we’ve gone to during our tour (as well as had the most fun at) was Zenkaikon. This convention is a 3-day sci-fi/anime convention held at the Lancaster Marriott in Lancaster, PA. It was also during that year that this was our first anime convention out of state, and our first impression of the convention was indeed nothing short of awesome! We had the chance to meet some rather awesome people as well as meet some of our twitter and facebook fans, plus we even got the chance to meet the one and only Toonami T.O.M. himself, Steve Blum (as well as Mary Elizabeth McGlynn)!

Bang! ๐Ÿ˜‰

There’s a lot for fans of both sci-fi and anime to do at this convention, and for some of us who are nerdy party animals there’s also raves that happen on Friday and Saturday nights! One cool thing about this con is the fact that everyone we’ve met while we were there, was incredibly nice. This time around we hope to have the same amount of fun as we did two years ago, and for those who happen to be going, we’ll see you there March 22-24! And on that note that will do it for this post. Until next time, stay nerdy! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Special Announcement: D&A Are Going To Be Official Guests at Animore!!

Aside D&A Anime Blog Anime, Con Appearances

Who would’ve thought working closely with an anime convention was finally going to payoff! After sharing our experiences with you guys for three years we are officially going to be guests at our ‘Home Base’ anime convention in Baltimore, MD known as Animore (located at the Hyatt Regency). For any My Hero Academia fans we’ve got voice actors Anthony Bowling and Josh Grelle, as well as Tia Ballard and Felecia Angelle. You might also know them from other titles like Danganronpa, The Devil is a Part-Timer, Cat Planet Cuties, Darling in the FRANXX, and more! This three-day convention starts this Friday and ends this Sunday.

As guests here are the two panels that we’ll be doing:

Toonami: The Legacy Panel

Saturday January 12, 2019 @ 11:00 am

This panel recaps the entire 20+ year history of the best animated-action block to ever hit the airwaves. Every 90’s that has experienced this programming block has had their lives changed in some sort of way, and has been there for us during our lowest of times. D&A takes you back in time as they recap and revisit the moments and highlights of any and everything Toonami, and what new shows we hope to see in its future programming schedule.

Anime Trivia Night: Who Am I?

Saturday January 12, 2019 @ 8:00 pm

This is an original panel that we’ve created just for fun. This game has three sets; the first is multiple choice with two clues given for each question, the second deals with guessing randomly selected anime openings within 10 seconds of being played, and the final set is similar to the first set – but with only two choices and one clue (plus points are multiplied in this set). There are seven questions with the first set, seven with the second, and only five with the third. The goal is to reach 10000 or more points and there are going to be three teams of two people each. We’ll do two games and the winning team from both games will go head-to-head in the fourth set called The Danganronpa Set; a lightning round set of five questions with two answers. The team who gets the most answers right gets their previous total from the game they won, doubled. The losing team gets their points executed. (Upupupupupu!)

That’s all we’ve got for announcements, so until next post, stay gold! ๐Ÿ˜‰
