All of our Anime Banzai con pics are available in the Artist Alley this week. Expect descriptions to be added in the next two months.

Have you ever attended a college or university? If so, you can understand how it can be an enormous, swollen, throbbing boil of pain on the backside of your life. I, Nz17, find myself in such a situation now.

As such, I am sorry to say that we must scale back ASO Radio from our goal of one Episode per week to one Episode per month. This is unfortunate, but it is better to inform you listeners of this change than to allow you to needlessly check every week, hoping for new content.

Expect updates around the major holidays of the next three months. To wit, there should be updates around Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas/New Year. Once this semester finishes we hope to return to a more frequent update schedule.

GIANT EPISODE ALERT! WARNING: ANOTHER HUMONGOUS EPISODE IS NOW APPROACHING!

After a devastating delay of three months, ASO Radio returns, refreshing the parched ears of its listeners like the cool waters of an oasis in the desert. To make up for the delay we have over two dozen different reviews of anime and video games, plus our question-and-answer interview with Vic Mignogna that so many want to hear. Naturally we also have a heaping helping of interesting anime news. With this much content in store, you know you should get downloading!
