Its that time of year again?! Anime Expo 2016 takes place at the Los Angeles Convention Center from July 1st - 4th.
We will be there for our 7th (!???) year in a row. This year however, due to most of my resources focusing on our new line of Anime/Game/Hollywood line of licensed Smart Dolls that we are releasing this year, our presence at AX is more of a smaller one.
Our booth will be located in the West Lobby above the escalators (I think ^^). My panel will be on Saturday 2nd from 10:15AM - 11:45AM at LP4/LACC 411.
My booth will have some space for Shirahane Nao-sensei where she will be selling some of her goodies in person. My Panel will also be devoting some time for her to do some live doodling.
If you want anything signed then I will be at my booth most of the time too.
I do expect that our new business will engulf and swallow me up so not sure if I can make it back next year - so please do come along to the panel or my booth for a chat.
Last year we had only 2 Smart Dolls - this year we got 9! Chitose Kasshoku will be among one of the Smart Dolls for sale. Will also have a very limited amount of apparel items too.
Our A2 posters for this year get the Danshari treatment - much more simple than our previous offerings. These illustrations by Shirahane-sensei and Ikkyuu-sensei.
Chitose Shirasawa by Shirahane-sensei and Eiji by Matsuo-shin-sensei.
And we will have our 2016 collection of tees too.
We will also have our long sellers Moekana and Moekanji for folks studying Japanese.
Prices include the local taxes.
And the rest of the post covers the rest of the tees that we will have at the booth - see you next week!
