Hey Everyone! I'm new here!

Hello Everynyan!
I'm Aza/Az from Hertfordshire.

I'm rather introverted and kinda shy, so this year I wanted to make a change and I'm trying to force myself to get out there and make some new friends.

I love both anime and gaming. (though I'm pretty far behind with both xD)
I tend to play JRPGs the most. (I'm currently playing through Persona 3 Portable again, since it just came out recently on PS4)
I'm also a bit of a gacha addict and play several (Fate Grand/Order and Genshin being the most notable)

I only just found out about this place and the upcoming con in Feb, but sadly it is too short notice for me to go.
I would really love to go to some cons down the line and meet up with some of you all.

Hello @Aza, and welcome to the AL forums.

The LAGC in Feb is just the first of a year full of cons, so don't worry there will be plenty of opportunities for you to mingle with like minded people. The London Con actually returns in August.

You say you are behind in watching anime. What was the last one you can remember watching?

If you fancy popping up North, there's an AL con in Manchester in April apparently.

Hi fellow newbie!
I'm a bit of a GI addict too! (Current Yoymiya/Ganyu main with a half built Raiden as sub dps)
Also very very new to Anime series.
I found out about this place buy buying tickets to my first 'Con in February.
As Ojisama said there are plenty of them lined up this year.
This forum does make you feel welcome, so welcome!!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes everyone!
Sounds like you all have a lovely community here.

@Ojisama The last anime I watched was Bofuri since I have that one on Blu-Ray, but in terms of watching stuff online it was "Nagatoro S1" back in Spring 2021, just to give an idea of how much I'm behind...

@richardallen1976 @Teeny Thanks so much! I'll be keeping an eye out on upcoming cons in the future and see which ones I will be able to join in on.
@djd001 Nice! I use Yoimiya as one of my mains to. Just picked up Alhaitham but am currently doing the dreaded artifact grind to get some decent substats.

Oh don't get me started on that lol!
I'd like a decent set with good primaries let alone subs
