So this was my first official anime convention. I’m just glad I was able to meet up with Hinano and JP, Animemiz, Moritheil, Dango (the superior of the Dans), Moy-sensei, Wah, and Mr. Omo. I felt so insignificant compared to them. But I snuck up on Hinano and JP, I know the back of JP’s sexy head anywhere. I scared the shit out of Wah, here is how it went; I started talking with him about work (I think) next I told him I’m a fan of his work and love his humor, and then I tell him my age XD. The look on his face was what made the day awesome. He thought I was older because of my hairy arms but at the end of the panel I shook his hand. I got some free advance prints of Hinano’s old art, thanks. After I left all the bloggers went out to party, this is why I don’t go to parties or social events all the fun happens after I leave. But at Hinano and JP’s panel there was a huge turnout, and there was a really cute Mizore cosplayer. They mostly talked about how the games stopped being fun when you’re either forced to grind, pay up for decent items, or Affffz and Ronaldo’s. Then it ended with “have you played this or that”.
As Hinano said there was BO and lots of it. NO IT WAS NOT JUST HER WHO SMELLED IT. Holy shit, it smelled like someone let the cream cheese go bad. There were so many stands there that I wanted everything. Though, quoting my mom: “Where are you going to put all this shit”. I was just glad that it wasn’t normally as crowded as it was otherwise I would have second thoughts about returning.
The cosplayers there, and I mean Cosplayers not Narutards or Bleach fags, were very nice. And a lot of the girls there were very cute, too bad they probably have boyfriends but I wanted to show them my drill. I wanted to purchase some stuff from the Artist Alley but everything was either Yaoi, Kingdom Hearts, Shonen-Ai, Chibis, Death Note, Naruto, Bleach or anything else like that. Though in the Vendor’s area there was not that much variation, it was pretty much the same Wall Scrolls you can get on Right Stuff. Though I must say the figures looked really nice, by the way I have become addicted to figures.
Now time for some loot
Cosplay
As I said before the cosplay there was actually really good but there were some shit. But here are the good ones.
Desired
There were a plethora of things that I wanted to buy there but here are some of them
Here is a little treat
I’m sorry for the lack of posts as of late but like most Anime Bloggers under 18 I have to go to school. I am currently a Junior in high school. And as much as they keep shoving this “its the year where you get your shit together so you can go to college” speech into us they are right. I need to study hard this year. I know I have been falling back on my shows and I will spend a lot of time catching up on them I know.
Now lets talk about what I have been doing besides school.
- During the summer I got guitar lessons, my teacher is cool and apparently my Sax playing traits shift over to my guitar playing and it causes me to play Legato very naturally.
- I have been listening to a lot more music as of late.
And thats all I can think of, sorry.
Ok so after months of nervousness (and diarrhea) I am going to my first anime convention, the New York Anime Festival. So is there anything I should know in advance, besides guard your ass from Yaoi paddles? For the record I am only going Saturday and Sunday, and because I’m a minor (meaning I can get away with anything) I am going with my mom so don’t expect me to come to an after-con get together, even though I really would like to, because she will think you are all pedophiles (Even though pedophilia is the fetish of child-like features which I never had, I had a mustache in 5th grade).
I plan on going to Hinano’s panel and maybe some other events too, maybe even block up a few toilets. Hopefully I can buy some merch.
But yes, any warnings before I go?
Its Yui’s turn! First let me say that it could have been better. Well then lets start, I will be doing this is list form so if you don’t like it tough shit.
- The moe voice was really annoying, it really doesn’t mix well the sound of a Les Paul.
- The guitar sounds like it used the Neck pickup, which is my preferred tone.
- (This one goes for all of the albums) Too cheery and upbeat.
- (This also goes for the rest of the albums) When they did Fuwa Fuwa Time they provided a four tracks that let you play along too with a Guitar, Bass, Keyboard, or Drums. Now why couldn’t they provide that on these albums.
Ok now its Madame Moe’s go. One thing I have to add is that for Yui’s, Mio’s, and Azusa’s albums they all use the instruments that they used in the show.
- It actually sounded like she used a Jazz Bass.
- The opening riff to “Heart Goes Boom” is very Nirvana, actually Krist Novoselic is a Jazz Bass user.
- This one is very well played and written, the lyrics aren’t as fluffy as Yui’s which is a good thing.
Now its time for Mugi-chan’s. This one was actually good too. It sounds like Mugi too. Also I love the artwork.
- Like all others the character’s instrument of choice is front and center and very visible and I must say the keyboard playing is good.
- The lyrics were a mix of Mio’s and Yui’s.
- What else is there to say.
So this album was alright too. It wasn’t spectacular nor dull.
- Once again they used their selected instruments, the guitar sounded very Mustang-y.
- It pretty much sounded like Mio’s with the rhythm of Yui.
Ritsu’s was very nice to listen too and very fun.
- The drums have the feeling like Ritsu is playing them which is the point of all these albums.
- And the songs are just fun to listen to.
This is my favorite out of all the albums. It just sounds so metal and not moe.
- This album is just proves that Sawako can be the wife of Krauser.
- It kind of has that Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth feel to it which really got my johnny up.
- And when you realize that this is also Kanako from Maria Holic its even more awesome.
