With Thanksgiving less than 48 hours away, many of us are too busy preparing the bird to deal with upcoming anime conventions. However if you’re one of the few-to-many anime fans who don’t want to deal with the holiday hassle, then D&A’s got some great con news for you! We’ve just updated our Northwest, Southbound, and Southwest Bound regional locations as to where the next big geek out con will be, so be sure to check our Cons Near U drop down for the latest cons that we have updates for.
Because it’s Thanksgiving we’ve decided not to do our Throwback Thursday segment this week, however D&A Fridays and Slash Saturday will go on as planned. We’ll be sure to keep you updated on more information regarding our 2017 Mini Tour, as well as dates to when those cons will be happening. Until then, stay tuned! ๐
Asides
Love, Chunibyo, and Oreo Cookies!!
Just as the name implies, we’ve got another lesser known anime title and Japanese snack for you to check out! This one just happens to be a childhood favorite that we all have grown up with; aka Milk’s Favorite Cookie! Just a little heads up about this week’s Throwback Thursday; because it’s Thanksgiving week we’ve decided to postpone this week’s installment until next week. Tomorrow we’ll be posting remaining anime cons for the month of November, and a lot more that will be happening in December. Until then, HAPPY THANKSGIVING MY FANS! ๐
Twelve Swords and Samurai Servants! Another Slash Saturday Has Arrived!!
Here we are finishing off yet another week of work, life, and anime! We’ve been combing the web for some samurai anime titles that you might know of, but never actually seen. so far we’ve landed some good ones for you to check out, as well as our male and female inductees in our Samurai Hall of Fame! Next week we bring you new anime cons to check out for the remaining month of November and December; plus some updates about our anime convention tour and how you can be a part of it. See you all on Monday night on D&A! ๐
Girls, Vampires, and Kenji! In Other Words; Welcome to High School!!
That’s right! D&A Fridays has gotten into the school spirit this time around, with some anime and manga titles that you might remember watching/reading in high school! From vampires causing a bloody ruckus on school property to a teenage girl who wants to confess to a boy (but another boy wants to confess to her), we at D&A love looking back at nostalgic moments watching anime in our school years, that made us into the anime-loving otaku that we are today! Saturday we keep our anime trend going; as we take a look at another samurai title, and induct another male and female samurai into our Hall of Fame! D&A, it’s a part of you! ๐
To Spin or Not To Spin! D&A’s Founder Becoming An Anime Convention DJ?
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! ๐
Mach 5 is in The House! Throwback Thursday Heads to the 60’s!!
We have just debuted our newest decade to the Throwback Thursday family; the 60’s! Anime was just beginning to break ground back then, as we see how it has blossomed into the epic fandom we as fans have come to know, and love. If you haven’t gotten the chance to check out our first 60’s anime title yet, then now’s your chance my friends! Next Thursday the 80’s roll back into town, plus we found some cool and awesome anime conventions for you guys to check out on “Cons Near U”!
D&A, it’s a part of you…
Pancake Sandwiches and Supernatural Warriors!
In other words, just a normal day for D&A during Miscellany Monday. Great ready to have your taste buds rocked with our newest snack, as well as see what lesser-known anime title we have for you in our Anime of the Day, and D&A’s Talkin’ Snack pages! Next week we’ll have some November/December cons for you to check out, and our newest decade addition to our Throwback Thursday drop down, makes its debut this week. D&A, it’s a part of you…
Immortal Samurai, Honorable Ronin, and Another Epic Saturday!!
Once again, we at D&A have added yet another Slash Saturday night in the books! To check out what new title we’ve got on display, as well as see who we’ve chosen as our Hall of Fame Edo Warrior and Sengoku Lady, slash your way to our aforementioned drop down and see what all the buzz is about! ๐
Hold the Manga, but Bring on the Anime! (D&A Fridays is Here!!)
It’s another great Fall Friday, as the leaves are turning their peak color right before our very eyes. It is on this awesome day that we bring more anime titles your way; such as the one where an undead girl gets revenge on her family’s murderers with the help of a Buddhist monk. We withheld the Manga of the Week title this time around (to search for more new titles), but it will return next Friday night on D&A Fridays! It’s a part of you…
Another Classic 70’s Thursday!
Keeping the spirit of old school anime titles alive every Thursday night! Throughout the last few months we’ve been covering various and exciting anime titles from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s, and we don’t plan on stopping anytime soon! Sometime between December 2016 and February 2017 we’ll be adding another decade into our Throwback Thursday lineup; the 60’s! We’ll keep you posted on what’s happening with this new development as well as some new anime conventions for November and December! Until then, stay tuned anime fans! ๐
