Usagichan Company Search and Rescue is a Supporting Business Member of the California State Sheriff's Association

I keep getting asked this numerous times, so here goes:

Q: Why "Usagichan Company"?  And what does it mean?

A: "Usagichan Company Search and Rescue" is the name of a deep sea Salvage and Rescue operation from the manga Dark Whisper set in an alternate Earth reality.  Created by master artist Ikuto Yamashita who is also mecha designer for the popular anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion, Dark Whisper is a hardcore science fiction story about unraveling mysteries from a former United States of America after World War 3.  This brave new world is filled with beautiful ladies, stylish vehicles and high adventure.  This website was originally supposed to be a fansite about the manga, but it eventually evolved into real-life intrigue and adventure surrounding the oddities of the anime conventions which is not unlike the manga's story itself.

Q: What is the goal of this site?

A: This site is dedicated to preserving the memories of our hobbies, using anime conventions as a medium of telling a very long story through pictures and reports.  I want a straight answer on what the conventions actually look like and who goes to these things, so that's another one of my personal endeavors.  Kind of like an informative travel brochure, and I'm glad most people see it that way.
