Welcome to the official convention gathering blog for theOtaku.com. This is a place where theOtaku.com members can read con press releases, make plans and discuss the conventions we are attending.
Current Conventions:
Anime Vegas' programming schedule does not seem to be up anywhere...
Hey all, hope you're all healing up and getting back into your normal routines again (which sucks for me, 'cause my normal routine isn't very interesting).
Until we can start getting some better pages up, I'll use this post as a means for us all to share pictures, videos, and our reviews/reports of the convention.
Link them in the comments below, and later I'll make a more definitive post with all the links for this stuff in it. So yeah, if you've got 'em, let's see 'em!
Only one more sleep until the con'! I'll probably already be on the road by the time everyone reads this, but just for fun if anyone's too anxious to sleep right away . . .
What are you looking forward to for this year?
Who or whose panels do you want to see? Hoping for any autographs?
Are you cosplaying as anyone this year?
Have you had any troubles getting ready for the con'?
For myself, I'm looking forward to plenty this year. Our theOtaku.com meet-up is going to be amazing, and I can't wait to take a bunch of pictures and video of everyone, as well as get a chance to record with the podcasters. I'm also excited to learn the ropes of doing press work with Gail and taking advantage of all the perks that entails. Other than that, I'm looking forward to the Masquerade Ball, the Ali Project Concert, and just getting out of town for another anime convention.
Of all the people and panels, I'm most looking forward to seeing Brina Palencia (who voiced Maho in "Beck" as well as directed the ADR recording for "School Rumble"); it will probably make my convention if she can sign my "Beck" DVD box, too! I was also hoping to go to Ocean Studio's panel, but sadly they had to cancel this time around (it's very busy over there right now, I was told).
I will most certainly be cosplaying! I'll be Sing from "Kung Fu Hustle" on day 1, Nathan Drake from "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" on day 2, and (of course) Nagakura Shinpachi of the Shinsengumi from "Peacemaker Kurogane" on day 3.
I'll tell you all about my con troubles on Saturday - plenty to talk about, no doubt.
So how about you guys?
With that said, I wish you all a safe journey, a fun weekend, and four boxes of Pocky (I promise, four boxes should be enough). See you in Seattle!
