This year at Anime Expo there were lots of people coming together to celebrate the things they love, and there was one in particular that demanded to be seen and heard. They also became a spot to see and spend time with while people were experiencing Anime Expo.  Love and Deepspace (by Infold Games), returned to con for their second year as an exhibitor. This was a huge fan favorite last year…

Last weekend Kodansha House opened their pop up in LA, and while I was in the area for Anime Expo I was able to stop in a few times. Currently the pop up is only open until the end of today. It is scheduled to run from July 2nd through 12th, and I recommend checking the hours for the different parts of the pop up to make sure you are able to get in and see/experience everything. The pop up has…

It’s been just over three days since the end of Anime Expo and I am still dead on my feet and wondering if all this really just happened. Because this year was a wild and crazy ride for a four day convention, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it. Anime Expo was a lot bigger than it was last year, and I feel like they needed more space instead of just expanding the AX crossing and the food…

I am so, so happy with the non-stop news we have been getting from Anime Expo. It is crazy to see and hear about us finally getting an anime adaptation of Mao! I have been a huge fan of this author, Rumiko Takahashi (also known for Inuyasha, and Ranma ½ ).  The other updates have been fun to hear and fans were eating up all the behind the mic stories from the voice actors from Black Torch! VIZ…

Just another reason why we all love Anime Expo weekend! We get a lot of news about new and returning anime! I can’t believe it’s time for another season of The Rising of the Shield Hero, but I can’t wait to see the new season. It looks so good, and the gang looks like they are up against some tough foes! TV anime “The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 5” Confirmed to air in 2027! Teaser…

Viz Media has pulled out all the stops for Anime Expo this year, as always, and are giving fans so much to check out this weekend!

We are hours, if not minutes, away from Anime Expo 2026, and I feel like a General with the war plan I have for making it through the weekend. Since I have only gone one other time to AX, literally last year being my first time, I am trying to be as prepared as possible.  For me, last year was a free for all and I was just randomly wandering around trying to find some of the things I heard…

I am a huge fan of Bleach, and am so excited for all the things happening at Anime Expo for it. I am even more excited now to know about a special artist gallery pop up!

Hi, your Editor-In-Chief and Head Honcho Leonard, here – bwello, effryblody! As you may know, I didn’t make it over to San Diego Comic-Con last year and that brought many of my own little heartbreaks: not catching up with the Con Family That I Have Made, seeing the sights and sounds of one of my favourite cities and also the con itself, especially one panel that I was heartbroken to to be able to…

Ignition Press, you say? At San Diego Comic-Con, next month (Thurs 23rd-Sun 26th July; Preview Night Weds 22nd July 2026)?
