Free anime screenings, sponsored by Funimation!

Japanese pop culture, specifically anime, being a huge part of our festival, it only makes sense for us to offer screenings during the event. Thanks to Funimation, however, we are able to do so, and you don’t even need a badge to watch them! So, say you have that one friend you think would really love anime but never cared to try? Bring him! There is stuff for everyone, from the newest, hottest shows to the dark and forgotten pearls of yesterday; everything you need to convince your relunctant friend of how great the world of anime is. Or maybe you just want to escape and relax for a bit in the midst of the festival. That’s cool too. Or maybe you want to relive some great moments with friends. See, all these reasons to watch!
 
Keep an eye out for the schedule once it’s out to find out exactly what’s going to be presented!
 
You may find more about Funimation, including subscribing to their service with a free 14 days trial, on their website.

A new year and a new guest!

Happy New Year 2014 to everyone!

Barely three months remain before Festival Nadeshicon 2014 will be upon us! And yet, there are still many guests to be revealed, including a program growing by the minute! Here is without further ado another big reveal during these times of festivities :

Christopher Macdonald

Christopher Macdonald was the long-time editor-in-chief of Anime News Network and is now the company’s publisher and CEO as well as a consultant for anime companies in Japan, America and other surprising corners of the planet. Despite being immersed in anime and manga politics nearly 24/7, he’s still perfectly happy spending his free time reading the latest Yotsubato&! or Gunnm manga, or watching an episode of Attack on Titan.

Kanpai !
