Hello once again anime fans to yet another Throwback Thursday night! This time around we return to a well known decade: the 80’s! Back then mecha anime titles were all the rage aside from other genres that were soon to become popular. (*cough* Magical girls *cough*) If you’re on the hunt for a classic anime title about robots fighting in an alternate universe that resembles that of King Arthur times, then check out a little series known as Aura Battler Dunbine! Looking for a series about a young boy looking for his lost mother? Then how about checking out this classic 80’s title called Belle and Sebastian.

Tomorrow will be St. Patrick’s Day, so make sure you bring out everything you own that’s green! (Including your underwear! *chuckles*) Tomorrow also marks the 20th anniversary of the greatest action-packed anime block there is. That’s right guys, Toonami will be turning 20 years old Friday March 17, 2017! Can you believe that it’s been 20 whole years since Toonami made its debut on our airwaves? who knows what Toonami Tom’s got planned for us this Saturday night.

Well guys, come back on Friday for our weekly D&A Friday’s segment as always. And remember, D&A is always a part of you! 😉

Many of us like to make that little trip to Starbucks or any coffee place of your choice every Monday morning, but why not spice it up with a lil’ bit of Jell-O? That’s right anime fans! It’s yet another Monday night filled with some lesser-known anime titles and some delicious Japanese snacks straight outta Tokyo! Love the sport of table tennis? Then check out this little series known as Ping-Pong! (Aaron Dismuke’s in it! ^.^) Wanna put a little spin into your Monday morning coffee? Then why not chug down some Coffee Jelly that you can find here, in Japan, or you can make right at home!

We’ve been doing a little brainstorming about what new segments we can bring to the blog to keep the fire and desire going. So far we plan on doing a new weekly youtube segment known as D&A Recap, where we recap some things that have taken place both on the blog and as well as what’s new at FUNimation and Crunchyroll (plus inform you on some new updates too). If there’s something new that you want to see on the blog, let us know on our Contact Us page! 🙂

This subject in particular has been on mind of Yours Truly for about three months now. With only a few college classes left dealing with Music Production (both analog and electronic), there’s oh so little time for me to make a decision. I have confirmed that there will be music tracks coming to the blog under our Groundz Playlist in Spring of 2018, but a part of me wonders if my beats will be strong enough to go as far as being booked to play at an anime con. We all know the old saying; “You’ll never know unless you try”, I know! >.< Perhaps I may be overreacting about this. Although none of my original mixes have been posted anywhere yet, I’ll say this about them; I’ve gotten a whole lot better at mixing and mastering since posting six Panty & Stocking AMVs, with different beats for each one. In case you’re curious here are their names…

• Angel Baby – PASWG AMV
• Strippa Dance Song – PASWG AMV
• PSG Rap – PASWG AMV
• Samurai Angel – PASWG AMV
• Fly Away Girl – PASWG AMV
• Strippa Dance Song (Booty Bounce Remix) – PASWG AMV

I also produced an original song about Otakon back in 2012 entitled “It’s Otakon”. (It’s on youtube if you want to listen to it.) Perhaps it’s time for me to stop thinking about it, and start doing it. Yeah, this might be kinda fun! 🙂

While everyone’s out snagging as much candy as they can carry, trick-or-treat yourself to a night of Halloween terror; anime-style! Stack up on titles like Hellsing Ultimate, Dance in the Vampire Bund, and so many more. We at D&A wanna give a Happy Halloween to all of our fans, and enjoy it at your own risk. (Be safe! ^.^)

We’ve just debuted our first ever Slash Saturdays segment starting with our Samurai Anime of the Week, and our Slash Saturdays Top 5! We hope you enjoy the picks we’ve got for you tonight, as we’ll do it all over again next Slash Saturday on D&A Anime Blog! It’s a part of you…

We’ve taken it upon ourselves to get our name brand trademarked for future purposes. Not only will this make us an official fan blog, but we (might) be able to sell our D&A Anime Blog brand name merchandise; such as tee’s, coffee mugs, and more! As of now our trademark is pending, but soon enough we’ll become an official fan blog! 🙂
