(Drawing courtesy of Anima É Cuore) It’s that time of year again, the Anime Expo 2914 in Los Angeles, California is just around the corner and Thisfunktional Magazine is preparing. This year we are going to bring daily recaps to Thisfunktional.com and AnimaECuoreStudios.com. Not only will we be looking for the best cosplay costumes but we will also be checking out some of the best artist in artist alley. Last year, we were a bit intimidated by the massive crowd of anime fans and it being the first year for Thisfunktional at this expo it was a learning experience. Later on in the issue get a sneak peek at AX2014. There’s also a few stories by Eli Kay, including anew News section written in 140 characters per story. Mike’s Movie Mayhem has updates on movies as well as a new movie girl of the month. Then comes “Myth: Legends of Burlesque and Magic” which will be part of AX. Sexy burseque performances meshed together with magic acts and thrill audiences. Once again, the beautiful Vixen DeVille host, with her alluring British accent, and Draven co-hosts as well as performs. Next month we shall have a recap as well as “Vivka’s shenanigans at AX.” Jesus Figueroa Editor-in-Chief of Thisfunktional
