Hello All!

Name: Bill

From: Northern Ohio

What brings you to the tour?: I have been a fan of anime for a good while but as of late, it has picked up. I have been interested in visiting Japan and I think it will be great to finally see the culture and other things anime related.

Looking forward to: Many things on the trip. Akihabara, anime/souvenir shopping, Gundam Front, cherry blossoms, and hanging out with others on this journey.

Favorite Anime: Just to list some Trigun, Clannad, Oreimo, Evangelion, Sword Art Online, Angel Beats, Squid Girl, and No Game No Life. (I would like to add Steins;Gate and The Fruit of Grisaia to the list but I only completed the Visual Novels for them. Still working on the anime equivalents.)

Favorite Anime from Fall 2015/Winter 2016: Erased, KonoSuba, and Shomin Sample are three I am the most current with. I have recently started to watch a couple others like Dimension W and Myriad Colors Phantom World and they seem promising.

Other Things: Games like Persona 3/4, Danganronpa, and Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright which I haven’t seen their anime equivalent but are still great.

I am looking forward to meeting you all and enjoying the trip.
