Had the pleasure of sitting down with one of the top anime interviewers in the game, John Marco Asks! @JohnMarcoAsks This was a powerful conversation where we really got to dive into his journey, from his early beginnings with his passion for music media to discovering his passion for anime and building a name for himself across conventions.

We talked about how everything came together behind the scenes, the challenges he faced starting out, and what it actually takes to stay consistent and grow in this space. He shared real insight on creativity, networking, and putting yourself out there, especially in a community as big and competitive as anime media. It’s always inspiring hearing stories from people who turned what they love into something bigger.

Moments like this remind me why I do what I do—connecting with amazing creatives, hearing their stories, and bringing that energy back to the community.

And just like that… it’s a wrap on Anime Impulse LA 2026! This con was nothing but great vibes, amazing cosplays, and unforgettable interviews.
