Anime Expo 2010

OYAKATA-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I was going to make this post three weeks ago, but I'm lazy. :V Anyway, details are a bit hazy, so I'll just muster whatever I can for now.

Day 1:

Met up with some friends, and, naturally, I brought my vuvuzela along.
We decided to attend the opening ceremony and kill time until the Dealer's Hall opened up.
Apparently, they had security guards at the entrance, and they wouldn't let me because I had a dull souvenir knife on me, so I just hid it somewhere. Wasted a good five minutes trying to negotiate with them.
Ceremony was boring. It was just them introducing the guests of honor that decided to show up.
Danny Choo showed up in some storm trooper suit and started dancing. He may be a jackass and a thief, but he is pretty good at dancing. I have to admit that.
Nabeshin was wearing some shades with these flashing lights on them. They were pretty distracting.
Also, there was some announcement about the mayor showing up to visit the place, but I never saw him.
On our way to the Dealer's Hall, I somehow seperated from my friends, but I found another friend standing in front of line, since 6AM, apparently, to the Hall, so I decided to wait with him, until the Hall opened up.
I saw some idiots in meme-related costumes with a boombox, playing some song from some Youtube video. I blew my vuvuzela at them, but it only seemed to encourage them, so I stopped.
When we got into the Dealer's Hall, I went over to the Funimation booth and grabbed whatever free shit they had, and proceeded to not buy anything from them.
I bought a Tekkaman Blade and a Giant Robo boxset from this one booth, and I managed to get a discount from them.
I lent my camera to one of my friends before we split, and when we met back up, I noticed that he got a picture with Danny Choo, like a jackass.
Saw some other people with vuvuzelas around. Whenever I saw or heard someone else with a vuvuzela, I blew mine at him/her, and the other person would blow back, and we'd do this back and forth. Everyone around us would watch in terror.
At one point, I saw a black girl with one, and the usual happened. She somehow managed to blow her vuvuzela in a way that it sounds like a saxaphone. Funny shit.
There was some guy in a giant Prinny suit, so I blew my vuvuzela at him, and he awkwardly tried to knock it out of my hands with the fins attached to the suit.
There was also some singing going in one place, so I blew my vuvuzela whenever I walked past. Lots of angry stares.
My friend anticipated that a ripple effect would occur, due to the few people who brought vuvuzelas, which would lead others to bring in vuvuzelas of their own.

Day 2:

He was right. More people started bringing in vuvuzelas, and some of the vendors managed to procure some neon-colored vuvuzelas of their own, and sold them at $10 for each vuvuzela, even though you can just drive around a bit and find a Mexican on the street selling them for less than half the price.
So there were white people everywhere, thinking that they were cool, because they have neon-colored vuvuzelas, so I laughed at them, with my red vuvuzela, which is 3x LOUDER by the way.
The first few hours of the convention was terrible, because they couldn't figure out how to get them to work. It was a pathetic sight. Even the vendors, who were selling them, couldn't get it right.
A few hours later, they finally figured it out and you could hear the wonderful humming of the vuvuzela, reverberating throughout the entire convention.
IT WAS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL.

Day 3:

Saw some guy cosplaying as Shingen Takeda, THE MOTHERFUCKING TIGER OF KAI. I held back all urges to scream OYAKATA-SAMAAAA as I photographed him.
More vuvuzelas going around. 'Twas great.
A few people were playing jazz music outside, and these metalheads were next to them, playing their vuvuzelas. It was a beautiful sight. I was so entranced that I forgot to take a picture until they stopped and went away.
I followed my friend into some panel about bishojo games. He really seemed to enjoy himself there. I didn't, though.
At one point, some singing started, and a bunch of these people started dancing in front of them with glowsticks.
I saw a black guy in there and thought it was funny, so I started filming. One of the people working there stopped me, though. Cockblocker.

Day 4:

Saw a little girl cosplay as Maria Ushiromiya. Got a picture of her. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I think that was the high point of my day, sadly.
Got a picture of a Rufus Shinra cosplayer in a wheelchair. I tried to ask if he was really crippled or if it was a prop, but he cut me off before I could start and said, "Yes". I couldn't help but laugh as he wheeled himself away in anger.
Bumped into some people from Myanimelist.
Ranivus apparently spent hundreds on K-On! merchandise, including a Mio clock, like a fag. THAT'S RIGHT, RANI. YOU'RE A FUCKING FAG FOR BUYING THAT MIO CLOCK.
Then we hung out or w/e, and then I left, because I was tired.

Aftermath:

Apparently, some unbelievers working at Otakon, attending Anime Expo, have failed to enjoy the harmonious melody of the vuvuzela, and decided to ban it from Otakon. Assholes.

Also, I have a last.fm account now, in case anyone cares about what music I listen to(lol). Actually, I had it for a while, but I couldn't be assed to figure out how to work it until now. :V

Season preview for Summer 2010

llxwarbirdxll — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 01:40:41 -0700

Looks like everyone's posting these season preview things right now, and I haven't made a post in over a month, so I might as well.

Amagami SS: The plot synopsis sounds boring, but a few fantards have been fantarding over one of the girl's hair on japtoon boards for the past few months. I might watch, just for DAT HAIR, but I get the feeling that this'll be something that I've already seen dozens of times before. :|

Asobi ni Iku yo: Is there going to be a "mysterious girl with cat ears" series each season? I'm sick of seeing this shit in these charts.

Digimon Xros Wars: I heard it has robots and Sengoku era shit. I'll probably watch it.

Highschool of the Dead: FUCK YES.

Kuroshitsuji 2: Eh.

Mitsumode: I heard this was going to be like Kodomo no Jikan v2.0, so no.

Nurarihyon no Mago: Seems like the type of shit that appeals to Inuyasha fantards. :|

Ookamisan to Shichinin no Nakamatachi: I heard that Kanae Ito was playing a tsundere in this. Kanae Ito does good tsunderes-even better than Rie Kugimiya. That's right. I went there.

Osaka Hamlet: Eh. Maybe.

Sekirei: Pure Engagement: No.

Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin: Another Anime no Chikara show. It'll probably so-so, which means that it'll be better than half the shit on this chart.

Seitokai Yakuindomo: The last "only guy in an all-female student council" show turned out to be some shitty name-dropper. I'm not going to take any chances with this.

Sengoku Basara 2: ALL YOU LEADY, GAIZ? PUT YA GANS ON.

Shiki: Eh. Maybe.

Shufuku no Campanella: I'm getting deja vu from reading the plot synopsis.

Strike Witches 2: There better be some Itano Circus action in this.

The Legend of the Legendary Heroes: There better be some Itano Circus action in this.

Tono to Issho: If you can't tell by now, I like Sengoku era shit.

Either he's a coward, or hiding behind a tree is his true power.

Is it just me, or has there been a large amount of homolust this season? Aside from this show, I've noticed trace amounts of homolust in Angel Beats, Heroman, Kaichou wa Maid-sama, and Senkou no Night Raid, out of 8 shows that I've started this season. Not to mention all the homolust from last season, and the season before that, and the season before that...
