Episode #0005 – Anime Los Angeles 4

I was able to make it to all 3 days of the Anime Los Angeles 4 convention. Once again, I have gathered together a panel of friends who were also able to make it to A-LA 4, and we give a summary of, and our review of, this convention. We also talk a bit about the upcoming Anime Expo convention, one of the largest anime conventions in the USA, which will be held from July 3-6 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Finally, we talk about some of the anime that we’ve been watching recently, and give out some recommendations.

I didn’t have time to go through any anime/manga news, new releases, or upcoming conventions; I’ll put out a smaller “mini episode” with that information in it hopefully sometime later this week.

This week’s panelists:

Myself, Donald Burr
Chad Page
