Wasabi Anime, also known as Green Mustard Entertainment, is a company specializing in the production of events and programming for anime conventions and other fan conventions in North America, as well as hosting their own standalone conventions. The company's journey began in 2001 with the registration of the WasabiAnime.com website. It started as an anime club, later evolving into a limited liability company (LLC) in 2007, and ultimately becoming a corporation in 2010. As of July 2012, Wasabi Anime had organized events in California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, and Las Vegas.
History
Wasabi Anime was founded by Tom Croom and a group of passionate anime enthusiasts shortly after the successful completion of Anime Festival Orlando II in Kissimmee, Florida. Recognizing the need to support a broader spectrum of fandoms, Wasabi Anime (initially known as "Wasabi Anime of Florida") established a network of anime clubs, providing assistance to existing clubs while nurturing the growth of new ones. Members of the Wasabi Anime clubs were issued photo ID cards that granted discounts at local anime and comic stores in Florida.
Some of the clubs included in the Wasabi Anime network were:
Anime Goes Anime Club Miami
Gator Anime
HIYAH! The Southwest Florida Anime Club
Japanese Animation Club of Tallahassee
Lake Brantley High School Anime & SciFi Club
Mile Stretch Anime Club
North Port Anime Club
Oukyuu Anime Club
Wasabi Anime: Deltona
Wasabi Anime: Englewood
Wasabi Anime: Ft. Lauderdale
Wasabi Anime: Green Cove Springs (which later became the Anime Belle Club)
Wasabi Anime: Jacksonville
Wasabi Anime: Miami
Wasabi Anime: New Smyrna Beach
Wasabi Anime: Orlando
Wasabi Anime: Tampa (which eventually formed the original volunteer staff for MetroCon 2003)
Wasabi Anime: Titusville
Wasabi Anime: Treasure Coast
Wasabi Anime: West Palm Beach
Periodically, the core team at Wasabi Anime hosted standalone events aimed at bringing these clubs together. Notable among these were the Wasabi Anime Halloween Cosplay Parties in 2001 and 2003.
Around 2004, Wasabi Anime shifted its focus from networking clubs to designing and organizing events for anime and fan conventions. These events encompassed themed panels, game shows, dances, and stage performances, including the well-known "Wasabi Animusical."
