Thank you, everyone for joining us today. We have another exciting interview scheduled right now going into your ears with the wonderful Peter Payne from jlist.com

Say hello.

Hello.

Hi, Peter.

With your new microphone sounding all good.

Yeah, yeah.

How is life over Japan's side? How's the weather doing over there? That's a very Japanese question to start off right now

It is rainy season and it's kind of I'm bummed that I'm here in Japan for rainy season because I usually arrange my schedule so that I'm in California for this time of year.

So I don't have to have dreary weather every day.

That's that's right because it's right around the anime expo time.

And I know you've been there.

What is anime?

Yeah, I saw that there are there are 55 anime conventions in July and August in the United States.

How ridiculous is that 55?

Yeah, I love conventions that wish we could get to more of them people always ask is hey, we've got this convention in you know our corner of Texas.

What can you come and you know the answer is almost always know we can't because you know it's just so hard to get in order to convention properly.

We have to have our trailer.

We have to have all of our stock and then we can do a good convention, but if it's you know more than 24 hours of driving from California, it just becomes very very difficult to pull off.

We are going to plan to do a central anime central next year by the way.

So if you're in Chicago, you can come and see us there.

Oh, good.

Do you think that you'd be able to get to more anime conventions if they were a little more spread out?
