Throughout history strangers have been drawn together by an array of common interests, be it arts & crafts or even a sport. With today’s social media platforms, it’s never been easier to connect with others yet still be so isolated. Our modern culture is increasingly dispersed, every screen vying for your attention and I say enough is enough! We’re all here at a convention, let’s all come together to discuss how anime, a niche artform is our cohesive community force allowing us to come face to face. Hopefully we’ll discover the power of strangers, make some new friends and share what we love.
