It is almost mid-March, and that means con season is starting to swing up for the year! The first convention that we are going to be attending this year is Colorado Anime Fest now in it's third year.

Hello again. We are coming again to the end of the convention. I hope everyone has had a good time at this new convention. Due to short opening hours today, I only had time to get to two panels, but I think they were both highly informative. And, we finally spent some time looking at the other artists' booths. Let's talk about some panels first.
Read MoreHello again everyone! Here's a report from Saturday at DakuCon. The convention is maintaining its small size, but is definitely busier here today.

What is Daku Con you might ask? Well it is a first year geek convention that is 18+. The convention is going to be held at the Radisson Hotel Denver Southeast (I-225 and S. Parker) on 11/10 - 11/12.
OK, so now you have the base details. Your first question may be, why an 18+ convention? To answer that question I am going to reference the front page of the Daku Con website.

Read MoreHey, what are you doing this weekend? Going to relax at home, play some video games? Sounds like a pretty chill weekend. But what you could do is buck off that non-social stigma that people like to think gamers have. Instead of playing games in your home alone, play them at the National Western Center! That is right, DreamHack is this starting at 9:00 AM for BYOC load-in and running to Sunday at 6:00 PM. That is pretty much 3 days of solid gaming.

He has recently been announced to voice Fish-Eye in the upcoming season of Sailor Moon. He was an invited guest and Nan Desu Kan 2017, where this interview was recorded. I interviewed Kimerer along with Phillip from DMGIce, and Marcus from Kaiju no Kami. We discussed Kimerer's path to voice acting and his advice for younger actors.
