Out now! Tori and Austin chat about Ibashocon 2026, a convention that wrapped up several months ago, but with us (err, Austin) being so busy preparing panels for Animazement, and recording a bunch of episodes that are STILL not out yet, this one took a while to release. We chat about the con, the great artists’ alley, really fun panels (both our own and others’), the delightful idolfest, the cosplay fashion show, the Gachiakuta cast panel, and the beauty of a convention built on a “community first” attitude.
