The pod is back with tales about their favorite memory from going to AFO. We laughed, we cried, we found out Morgan LeFay’s memory scarred the rest of the pod, and jumped into the various pools of experience we have had, that never actually happened.

Hosted by:

Brian – Marketing Manager

David Francis – Keeps showing up for some reason

Michelle "Misha" Underwood – Anastasia Meiline

Misha’s Glossary:

Heterosexual - “Anybody that is interested in a different gender.” - David [

Tenugui (手拭い) - traditional Japanese hand towel [Morgan LeFay has one with Hello Kitty dressed as Sadako for Kendo]

Sadako Yamamura (山村 貞子) - Sadako is a type of yūrei known as an onryō, bound by a desire for vengeance [aka the creepy chick from The Ring]

Samara Morgan - The American knock off of Sadako Yamamura [Not to be confused with Morgan LeFay the person on the podcast who scarred everyone by dressing up as Sadako]

We returned for another round! Join the Happy Happy Anime Festival Orlando Podcast Go Go Go! The Crew goes over what they do for the convention, from directing projects and marketing to keeping Morgan LeFay in line (which is a full time job in itself). Going over the true secrets of running a con. Somehow went on such a tangent it came full circle. You have a great idea so we ask you to sign up to make an awesome panel and go over how.

Misha’s Glossary:

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) - Being at the top of the heap when searched for [Being ruined by AI Bots].

Precipitate- If you’re not part of the solution you are part of the precipitate (the solid formed in a solution)  [Bad chemistry joke]

Red Oni (赤鬼), Blue Oni (青鬼) - Two individuals linked together that have differing personalities. One is associated with passion, wildness, and defiance, the other associated with serenity, control and observing authority (The Countess and Anastasia Meiline) [You can guess which one is which].

Steampunk- Has retro futuristic technology and aesthetics inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery [What happens when a goth discovers brown].

Join us for the first episode of the Happy Happy Anime Festival Orlando Podcast Go Go Go! Where different members of the AFO staff come on to talk about what it is like to be on staff at an anime convention. In this episode, the AFO Crew talks about what got them involved with AFO and anime conventions in general. We set up the declaration of anything we talk about being an anime (because we are an anime convention). One of the hosts gets isekai’ed in, Misha’s Glossary begin, and we go over the pros and cons of going to either Subway or Domino’s Pizza.
