Ittai! Watch it! Don't make me get my mousetrap! ^_-
At 1:00 we got back to the Wyndham to watch Flame of Recca. This is a
CoolShow(tm). We also came to the conclusion that the screen setup
SUCKED in the main showing room. To many heads in the way to see the
subtitles easily. Aarg. After Recca we wondered off to see the first
episode of Tico&Nanami(which failed to impress me) in a different
showing room, which had a much better set up since the screen was set
higher. Then back to the main room for Haunted Junction and Lost
Universe. Inbetween HJ2 and LU1 I discovered that Damon "Mouse" Castle
is DEAF!!! I shouted at him from almost right behind him a few times,
and he didn't respond.
Aah! Thou shouldst have talked to me afterwards! ;_;
Well, I was _GOING_ to talk to you at the Fanfic panel. It seemed like
a logical assumption that you'd be there.
Oh, and my last name is "Casale" not "Castle". :-p
I knew I had that spelled wrong...
After the panel it was back to the showing rooms for more Hyper Police,
Yawara, Maho, and Virus. During the opening of Maho there was the
traditional byplay of "Volume!" "There is no sound!" "What?" "There's
no sound in space!" ^_^
They've never seen Star Trek, have they? OF COURSE there's sound in
space! ^_-
<smirk>That has to be one of the best parts of watching Maho with people
who haven't seen it.
All in all, the con had good parts and bad parts. It provides a rather
dramatic comparison to AX. I can't say one con is all around _better_
than the other, but I can say they have differing high points.
Thou shouldst make an effort to attend Anime Fest this year. All of the
good points of Fanime Con, and none of the bad! The Masquerade was a
smallish affair last year, with only a handful of contestants in a room
which was plenty big enough for everyone. The convention itself was four
days long (over Labor Day weekend) so that one could see and do
*everything*! All we need are a large group of FFML otaku to host a
fanfic panel now ^_-
And AnimeFest is where, exactly?
