We at D&A Anime Blog wanna give a grandmaster shout out to all the DJs and DJ/Producers out there, who are making and spinning all of the music that we have grown so fond of. Whether you’re an EDM hit-maker or a Top 40 master mixer, you’re the reason why the music we listen to has brought us closer together as a people and as a whole. (Of course as the Founder of D&A, my time as an aspiring DJ/Producer is coming very soon!)
So to all the Bassnectars, the Aviciis, the Grandmaster Flashes, and the Skrillexes of the world, we say thank you! Thank you for keeping us on the dancefloor, and keeping the heartbeat of music alive and kickin’! HAPPY DJ APPRECIATION DAY!! ๐

Animore Was AWESOME!!! :)
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
Farewell 2016!! D&A Returns For 2017!!
There are so many words that can describe how this 2016 year has been for us, but one single word that sticks out like a sore thumb, is “interesting”. Whether good or bad this year has been quite interesting for many of us, however we at D&A love and appreciate all of the love and support that we’ve been getting from you guys for the blog. We’ve posted a special end of the year message on our youtube page, so be sure to check it out to see all the awesome new features we plan on adding in 2017! Our mini anime convention tour kicks off January 13th at Animore 2017 in Baltimore, so if you want to know where the rest of our stops will be, check em’ out on our Con Appearances page.
Stating January 6th we’ll be implementing an Age Rating for our Anime of the Week titles. (Though nowadays half of the shows we watch are between TV-14 and TV-MA.) We’ll also be doing the same for Miscellany Monday’s Anime of the Day, and Slash Saturday’s Samurai Anime of the Week. With all that being said both A. Goldman and Yours Truly thank you (the fans) from the bottom of our hearts for making our debut year, a part of you! ๐

DAB ON OTAKU!!
We’re just coming back from Otakon 2016 and it was a BLAST!! We’ve made so many new connections with Aniplex, Crunchyroll, Sentai Filmworks, and so many more. We want to take the time to give a shout-out to all the cosplayers who participated in our cosplay music video; which will be posted on our youtube channel next month! We’ll be making a few small changes to the site between now and Wednesday within regards to all the pics we shot at Otakon this year. Although it’s making its way to D.C. next year, we’ll always have the memories Otakon has left behind. So dab on otaku, DAB ON!! ๐
