Remember the days when tons and tons of like-minded people got together to celebrate their passion for a common interest? Sadly, the global pandemic has put a big STOP sign on live conventions over the last few years so we've decided to re-live some great memories of attending our first anime convention: Animazement, in North Carolina.
From getting cash-drained in the dealer's room to the intense battle in the art auctions, we bring the convention magic back to life in all of its glory.
Oh yeah...Zangief Fan Art, anyone? :P

Join us as we explore the revolutionary gameplay mechanics of the time, dish on our favorite baddies, and poke fun at the trash-diving hilarity of it all in this week's can't-miss episode!
