At least Friday nights on D&A Anime Blog are! Hard to believe that just last week we were decked out in our signature cosplay for Zenkaikon in Lancaster, PA. Now we’re back here to give you guys (the fans) just what you’ve been looking for; some awesome anime, OVA, and manga titles to check out on the blog! If you’re familiar with a show called And You Thought there was never a girl Online, then you’re going to love How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend.
Looking for a classic space opera about two warring factions that have the same goals but different views and ideas on how to accomplish said goals? Then look no further friends, cuz’ we’ve got an anime OVA title called Legend of the Galactic Heroes for you to check out and stream! We’re not one to leave Manga of the Week hanging by the wayside, so we’ve decided to pick it back up with a manga title known as The Candidate for Goddess. (Be sure to check it out if you’ve never got the chance to read it yet.)
Now onto some update news regarding the blog/site. Thanks to a financial blessing we might actually be able to launch our music playlist page known as November Groundz: Kontrol Room, as early as mid-July of this year. The page will contain a track list of all the original songs (produced by Yours Truly as November Groundz) that will be a part of the playlist title called Kontrol Room. Among that is a new blog page dedicated to all the anime couples out there named Anime Couple of the Week, which will make its debut in June on our Miscellany Monday drop down menu. Plus, more anime conventions for the month of May are coming to the blog, so be sure to check in on our Cons Near U page to see which anime conventions are within your region or area!
That’s it for now. Come back for our Slash Saturday segment as we get ready for another wild weekend of Toonami, Samurai Jack, and all the anime that you can handle! ๐

After coming home from yet another hard day’s work, don’t you want yourself a good sandwich, a nice drink, and an awesome anime title to watch? Well look no further my friends, cuz’ we’ve got just what you’ve been looking for! Looking for a lesser known anime title about helping your fellow man as well as giving joy, good will, and peace on earth? Then Tokyo Godfathers will be the answer to your prayers.
Wanna know what we’ve got cooking in the D&A kitchen? Then check out what’s on the menu on D&A’s Talkin’ Snack! Just as we’ve mentioned and said in our last post, we’ve just come back from Zenkaikon in Lancaster, PA. We met some new friends as well as some of our fans that have supported us throughout the (almost) year and a half that the blog has been going. Toonami T.O.M. Steve Blum and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn was there to add to the con’s excitement, plus all the wonderful panels, workshops, video games, cosplay, and late night DJ parties that you can handle!
The month of May has finally arrived, and that means some awesome anime cons to look forward to in May, which we will have on the blog/site before the week is out.

As for now, we thank all of the awesome people that have helped us with our highlights video, as well as taken pictures with us! See you all at the next con! ๐
We’re Back On Track, and that’s a Fact!
Last weekend we did have an unfortunate moment where we’ve experienced our first ever brain fart, but now things are really looking up for us as we come back strong for a Toonami-filled Slash Saturday! As always we bring you some action-filled samurai anime titles that many of you may (or may not) have seen, plus our male and female picks for our Samurai Hall of Fame!
Looking for a samurai anime movie filled with the action and drama that these Edo Period warriors had faced during that time? Then check out this title known as Ryo; where the son of a samurai who’s parents died during the invasion of English ships, is now the bodyguard of an individual who has a plan to fight for his country. Wanna know who we’ve elected to be in our Samurai Hall of Fame in both our male and female categories? Then check em’ out for yourselves to see if your favorites have been elected.
Next weekend we travel to Lancaster, PA for our first ever out of state anime convention, and the third stop on our 2017 mini anime convention tour; Zenkaikon! After the con is over we’ll fill you in on the details as well as update you on some new things we’ve got planned for the summer. With all that said, thank you to all of our fans who are following us on WordPress, Facebook, Twitter, and also thank you to our Youtube subscribers! Keep on making D&A a part of you, and we’ll keep on making you a part of us! ๐
Monday Cleanse: Of Spirits and Guts!
Sometimes whenever we as humans feel stressed out by the comings and goings of the day; such as work, school, responsibilities around the house, it’s nice to have a day to yourself where you can just cleanse yourself and also have time to yourself. Tonight for your Monday night we’ve done just that as we’ve brought to you our version of a ‘cleanse’, and that’s through some good old lesser known anime title and snack time fun!
If you’re already a fan of a previous title that we’ve done for our Slash Saturday segment known as Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales, then you’re going to love its spin-off title called Mononoke. It tells the story of the Medicine Seller character from the 2006 aforementioned title, as he battles against the mononoke (an ayakashi spirit that has found its way into the world of the living) using his intellect of the supernatural, before killing the spirit with his sword. If you’re looking for a way to improve your digestive system, then try out some Yakult. It’s a probiotic product that will help improve and moderate one’s intestines and colon, and can even help boost immunity so that you won’t get sick as easily!
As of right now there are less than two weeks left until Zenkaikon, which will be our third stop on our mini anime convention tour. This will also be our first anime convention out of state as we gear up and prepare ourselves to meet the one and only, Steve Blum! We’ll have more Youtube videos coming soon as well as more updates regarding our plans for the summer, as well as the Fanfiction.net debut of a couple of our fanfics!
Once again, we can’t thank you guys (the fans) enough for all of the support that we’ve been getting, so continue to make D&A a part of your lives and in return, we will continue to make you a part of us! ๐
