Anime conventions from the viewpoint of the people behind them! Join the staff of Anime Festival Orlando, Florida’s longest-running anime convention, as we give insight into life behind the scenes at fan events. Get ready for some wild tangents, and maybe even the occasional talk about anime!
The pod is back with tales about their favorite memory from going to AFO. We laughed, we cried, we found out Morgan LeFay’s memory scarred the rest of the pod, and jumped into the various pools of experience we have had, that never actually happened.
Hosted by:
Brian – Marketing Manager
David Francis – Keeps showing up for some reason
Michelle "Misha" Underwood – Anastasia Meiline
Morgan LeFay – The Countess
