Welcome back to Episode 6 of Take the Nerd Out! 🎙️

This week, we're diving into one of the biggest debates in the anime community: Is Anime Expo still worth going?

After attending both Anime Expo and Dream Con, we break down the good, the bad, and whether AX is becoming too crowded for its own good. We also compare the two conventions, share behind-the-scenes creator experiences, and talk about what conventions need to improve.

We also discuss our experiences at Dream Con, Shimmer's trip to Bali, the latest Superman and Batman news, Solo Leveling, Naruto, and other anime updates, the nonstop grind of being content creators, convention culture, and celebrate our very first Patreon supporter!
