From D23 coverage last weekend to Ani-Jam coverage this past weekend. Decided to take some photos from the event.

My bud on another forum posted some pix from a recent con in Dubai! Very interesting what's over there. Looked like a big gathering. I'll see if I can post some video:

Wow... Dubai. I normally wouldn't imagine Japanese and Western culture infecting people in the United Emirates, so it's cool to see pictures like this. It's comforting to be reminded that the Middle East isn't all just one huge cesspool of hatred. I know in my heart that this isn't the case, but media certainly colors perception.

On October 11th, our J!-ENT 20th Anniversary annual will be released. It will be several hundred pages...possibly 600-pages long but will feature interviews with notable names in the anime industry, Japanese music industry and more! Stay tuned!

Nearly complete.....
