Name: Andy
From: From Dallas, TX, born in San Antonio, grew up in Austin
What brings you to the tour?: My sis and I had been talking about taking a trip to Japan for a while and finally made it happen

Looking forward to: Ghibli Museum, Sega Joyopolis, Super Potato, Onsen Spa (I’ve pretty much held off on getting a tattoo until a trip to Japan), Square Enix Artnia, Nakano Broadway, Himeji Castle, etc

What’s on your desk?: monitors with Legos, MLP & Pokemon figures on top of them, random anime blurays

Recent Anime: My job actually involves working with/staring at anime all day, so it’s kinda gotten to the point where watching it alone feels took much like work, haha. But now and then a few shows pique my interest :) I’m making my way thru Welcome to the N-H-K and Ouran High School Host Club for the first time with a friend, can’t believe it’s taken that long. Other than that, Space Dandy and Kamisama Kiss (no spoilers, haven’t started S2 yet) come to mind. My favorites off the top of my head are Casshern Sins (which apparently gets a lot of hate b/c it’s not like the original Casshern series, which I never saw), FMA and FMA Brotherhood (still need to finish both), Spice and Wolf (still need to watch S2), Soul Eater (still need to finish), Baka & Test (need to watch S1), Kanon (still need to finish, notice a trend…), Binbougami Ga/Good Luck Girl, Strike Witches, the movie Wolf Children, Video Girl Ai (for nostalgia’s sake), old school Sailor Moon, and Sgt. Frog.

Anything else?: My sis (Jen) and I are flying separately so we’ll prob meet y’all (yep, I’m a y’all-er) at Narita. I’ll arrive in LAX from TX with over nine hours to kill so let me know if y’all want to rendezvous beforehand, if not I’ll just catch up on House of Cards :) Also, for fun I’m thinking of switching up my hairstyle (usually a mess of wavy, quasi-curlyness to something more J-Pop/K-Pop-ish for the trip. Not sure if I’d do it before or during the trip, but there is a certain appeal to actually getting a different style done in a different country. Suggestions are welcome! Looking forward to meeting y’all!
