Wow, is it Friday already?! It feels just like yesterday that we made some filler posts about rave parties at cons, and how to deal with con heartbreak, but now we once again arrive at the fifth day of the week (as always). Like we do every Friday night, we bring you some awesome anime titles that we know you’re gonna love, as well as some cool OVAs to add to the excitement! We didn’t get the chance to do our Manga of the Week sub-page segment this time, however we’ve got some upcoming titles that we plan on highlighting next week!

If you’re a fan of SAO and Log Horizon, then Accel World is gonna be the anime title for you! Being a fluffy kid in middle school can really be a pain, especially when you have to put up with others making fun of you and bullying you all the time. (We’ve been there so we know what it’s like.) Haru always finds himself on the receiving end of getting bullied, so to tear himself away from reality, he logs into his school’s network through his Neuro Linker in order to blow off steam through an online game called Virtual Squash.

Eventually his skills catch the attention of the most intelligent girl in Umesato Jr. High, who goes by the name of the Black Snow Princess (or Kuroyukihime). She not only assists him in helping to face his bullies, but introduces him to an Augmented Reality Massive Multiplayer Online (ARMMO) game called Brain Burst; which players fight against one another in battles to earn Burst Points. There’s more to this story so be sure to stream it on Youtube, FUNimation, or Crunchyroll if you wanna check it out!

And don’t forget to check out Hunter x Hunter and its OVAs too, if you’ve never, EVER seen the series before (in life)!

Next Sunday is going to be quite exciting for us, because we’re introducing a brand new drop down menu called Anime Sunday’s! In it will contain two sub-pages; Anime Couple of the Week, and Anime Episode of the Week! We’re so proud to be sharing this awesome feature with you guys, so your feedback and comments about it will be greatly appreciated! We wanna thank our fans and social media followers for all of the support that we’ve been getting for you, and continue to make D&A a part of you, and as always we will make you a part of us! 🙂

Here we are again on this lovely warm Thursday night. School’s almost out, Summer’s a few weeks away, and anime convention season is about to kick into high gear. That’s right fans of ours June is finally here, and we’ve got some exciting news to share with you! But first, it’s time for us to take that Thursday night trip down memory lane on tonight’s Throwback Thursday…

If you’re a fan of 1970’s mecha anime, then you’re gonna wanna check this series out! This title is known as Grendizer, and it tells the story of a humanoid named Duke Fleed, whose planet was attacked by King Vega and the Vegan Empire. Duke takes the robot known as the Grendizer, and uses it to escape the attack of the Vegans before finding himself in our solar system, and decides to land on earth. (Well, Japan actually.)

Once there he befriends Doctor Umon and decides to take the name Daisuke Umon, in order to keep a low profile and protect his true nature and identity. Eventually the Vegan Empire discovers his whereabouts after escaping their attack, and have now set their sights on earth. With Fleed having nowhere to flee (we know, that joke was a tad corny) he now faces the king with the Grendizer, and quite possibly a few allies he met while on earth. If you wanna know more about what happens in this series, you can stream it on Youtube or Crunchyroll if they happen to have it.

Now it’s time for some hot news about our two new page installments! Both of these pages are going to be a part of a new drop down menu that will launch next Sunday called, Anime Sunday’s. The first new page under this new drop down menu will be called Anime Couple of the Week, where we highlight a different couple from one of your favorite anime titles each week. The second page will be called Anime Episode of the Week, where we do a full review on a random episode, from a random anime title of our choice.

Also, we’ll be posting all of the upcoming anime conventions to check out on our Cons Near U page, so be sure to check in on what cons are in your area as often as you can! And on that note, we again thank all of you guys for your continuous support with our anime blog! As long as you remember to keep D&A a part of you, we will always keep you a part of us! 🙂

If you remember growing up as a kid and watching anime, then you already know without a shadow of a doubt, that your childhood was EPIC and AWESOME! Your parents would probably say the same thing, if they’re familiar with Japanimation that is. Tonight we return to a time where the term ‘Anime’ didn’t come around until a few decades later. (Like the 80’s or so, but then again we could be wrong so don’t shoot us, please!)

Tonight we take a look at a classic title known as Shonen Ninja Kaze no Fujimaru, or as it’s called ‘Samurai Boy‘. This 65-episode series aired from 1964 to 1965, and is about a boy who is saved from an eagle by a samurai named Sasuke. He then takes the boy as his on disciple and trains him, and years later the boy (named Fujimaru) grows up and becomes a skilled fighter who learns how to control the wind. He learns two techniques; one named ‘multiplication’, and the other named ‘leaves’. (Both of which he uses to defeat his enemies.) His ultimate mission is to one; find his missing mother, and two, search for the ‘Ryuen Book’ in order to protect it from the master of fire techniques known as Japusai.

Well guys, we’ve got a little bit of great news! We’ve already confirmed three of our tour stops for next year’s anime convention tour. We will be returning to AniMore for a third time, only this time around we’ll be bringing in some of our official fan panels to the party! Zenkaikon was awesome for us last month, so we will in fact be returning to Lancaster, PA for a second time in 2018. We were planning on going to Anime USA this year, but due to the lack of finances we’ll push our first time appearance to next year. We do want to make our first appearance at Florida Supercon next year, so at this point we’ll just have to keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best. (Financial-wise.)

That’s all we’ve got for now as far as updates, but remember that you can talk and chat with us on all of our social media pages about anything anime, or what new pages and features we’ll soon be adding to the blog in the coming months!

Make D&A a part of you, and we’ll make you a part of us! 🙂
