Hey again!
It's been almost two weeks, so it must be time to hit the road again for another weekend of anime convention fun times! This weekend, we bring the party to Nan Desu Kan in Denver Colorado, for a super-special weekend of events and premieres.

I will be in attendance, as will the lovely Charlene Ingram, to bring the Hetalia Brand Manager party all weekend long:)

So here's what we've got:

Aria is a volatile girl who wields two pistols and two swords and holds the highest rank in assault studies at a high school for young mercenaries. This pint-sized prodigy swoops in to save her classmate Kinji from a high-speed chase, but he ends up saving her after he switches from a boring wimp into a total hot shot! His secret? He only turns into something of a James Bond when he’s turned on! Convinced Kinji’s an ace, Aria strong-arms him into being her partner—but she isn’t the only femme fatale who wants a taste of his coveted combat skills. Aria gets Kinji for one mission, but he’ll end up with more than one finger on his trigger! Come check out this great new series, with a very special guest Q&A With Leah Clark, Brina Palencia and Chris Cason!
