Small Update

Just a small update, I’ve been pondering about doing an Ikkicon AMV special, however going back and looking at the AMV submissions they were only just a handful that would really not make it a special at all. So my plan is to just wait untill Ikkicon V is over and do both a Ikk IV & V special instead.

Also again I will not be at Oni-Con this year, sad, I know.

San Japan AMV contest is now open for online submissions,  for more info. Click Here We are also adding a new contest and thats the Hentai Contest, it should be fun to see what comes in on that contest >:D

Other than that, I don’t really have any new episodes planned, It sucks I know. I really would like to get something done for the end of this year so we’ll just have to see what comes up.

Slight Update

Hey all,

This is just a slight update, we are getting some new equipment in, we have sold our two Canon HV20 HD camcorders and have purchased a new Canon HV40 HD camcorder. It is a big step as fair as video quality goes, unfortunately we only purchased one. So their will be no muli-camera angle shots in some of the recored segments we normally do.

I do plan on having a live podcast once we get the camcorder in so keep an eye out for the air date.

Also Epikon has been postponed until 2012, we are still doing the AMV contest for them, but not until next year.

I have made it official that we will NOT be able to attend Oni-Con, I love Oni-Con with all my heart but the finances are not available for us to go.

New ‘Projects’ Page & website update

I created a new page called Projects, this is a list of all the previous and future projects that we have lined up.

I have also updated some of the Cast & Crew pictures and added some links to some of their webpages as well.

San-Japan & New Opportunities

Well, San-Japan :3 was a smashing success, I only passed out once from lack of sleep, but thats pretty much it. I hope everyone was able to make it out to SJ:3, Keep an eye out for SJ:4TW =P I honestly wanna say thank you to Dave for giving us a bigger challenge and we definitely made a huge impression at San Japan this year and we hope to continue it in the future. I would also like to thank Ross, Chris & Mike for helping out, also Dan-Dan & Jesse Sandoval and his crew for an excellent PA system this year.

In other news we have been invited to work with a new  anime group in town, I’ll release the details later, but its another great opportunity for AFTV to slowly move more forward & help promote more of the anime & animation here in San Antonio.

While I do have plans to attend Oni-Con this year, funds may be holding us back, I know we go to Oni each year; but this year i’m on the rocks about it. I love Oni-Con dearly, and I would hate to miss this year’s.

I’m glad things are finally happening tho for the show, I know it dose not seem that way. However things are happening.
