An⋅drew /ˈændru/
(Noun)
1. A Marketing Consultant for the Namco Bandai Group’s european audiovisual unit: Beez Entertainment. Said to be a mild mannered despite his occasionally grizzly bear-esque appearance as well as a very diligent worker. He is known to change from mild-mannered to grizzly bear in attitude when circumstances require though so approach with caution.
He has been involved with the company for over three years now and has gleamed a lot of useful observations about the Japanese animation industry that only someone trapped in it could find. These pieces of information include just how long live action versions of anime take to create, why Europe is in many ways a larger and more interesting market than the US as well as the all important question: How do you escape an after drinks session with heads of respective business units before your liver abandons you for less dangerous activities, such as sleeping with a very hungry tiger?
