PaulFrancis, known by his full name PaulFrancis O’Sullivan, is a known anime convention attendee in the DC metropolitian area. He got into anime many years ago and started attending anime conventions shortly after. I've briefly talked to him many years in the 2010s in the anime convention before the 2020 lockdowns. He recently started attending conventions again once they went fully back to normal. I recorded this segment in otakon 2018 but I never got a chance to make it public until now, because I wanted to share this video with him as a keepsake.
I got too many videos from anime conventions that I want to release including opening ceremonies. I just hope I accomplish the task before I die or this country falls apart.

![Update on my anime convention plans
(Somehow, I did attend Otakon in 2023 anyway...)
Conventions I will be attending in 2023:
Anime Matsuri 2023
Colossalcon Texas 2023
Awesome Con 2023
I will not be attending any DC anime conventions this year including Otakon since the DC anime convention scene like most others is still recovering from the Coronachan Panic. Because these days anime cons are not fun anymore in most places and a lot of anime cons are not doing enough to bring back veterans who moved on to conventions that operated as normal as soon as they are legally allowed to.
There is a possibility of attending Colossalcon Prime for 2023 but my chances are silm. But at least I have the ability to just buy airfare at will with the job I have now.

![[Anime Matsuri 2021] The Worst Convention Ever - Episode 7
This is documentary about the only anime convention in the United States that operated normally during the Coronachan Panic, no mask mandates or vax mandates, at a time where every anime convention had mandates either imposed by the governments where they located or self imposed: Anime Matsuri 2021.
The Ministry of Otaku was one of them, and was one of the few (and possibly the only) independent journalist that documented what happened 4 days was spent recording what happened.
This the seventh episode in a ongoing series.

![Starfield Gameplay Compliation Episode One (no commentary) (ultrawidescreen)
Heres a full gameplay compilation of my footage from Starfield from the start with no commentary. As a space exploration/adventure game its a decent one but as a Bethesda game, its below average since most of their places outside of the few handcrafted ones are procedurally generated. There will be 5 episodes in all.
Normal programming and news will resume in due time.
