Anime Expo

I am, and I'll be working at Danny Choo's booth this year. Come and say if you're around!

Sadly, the guests this year are rather lackluster compared to previous years. One of these years, we'll get a year like 2010 again.

I'll finally end up with an admiral costume this year.

I think I will. Can you give out special discounts?

Are the only worthy guests this year Kawahara Reki and Gen Urobuchi?

I haven't heard anything of Urobuchi being there.

As for guests, it's best to do your research about the various anime titles they've worked on to decide whether they are "worthy" or not.

Uhhhh. You haven't? http://www.anime-expo.org/2014/06/ni...honor-line-up/

Hmm, I see a fair bit of kill La kill and ghibli. And one person from bones. I'm not too interested to see what westerners think about anime but I suppose the guests are acceptable. There's also the 9nine girl I want to ask about Japan's music scene and I suppose that's it.

White uniform or a black uniform?

I'm making my own costume. Hopefully it'll turn out well.

I just bought a bamboo stick and I realized that it's not allowed as a prop...

Curses.

With such limited merch, I unfortunately doubt it.

But hey, pop by and say hi! The experience will make up for the cost.

A quick little update on the Culture Japan booth: it looks like Danny Choo's massive Smart Doll project is finally prepared to enter a selling state. I recommend arriving super early if you're interested.

Details on my latest post.

[Hiroi Sekai]

I know it's a bit early, but who's going this year?

[Esclair]

I'm going again. Not sure on what costume to do though. Might do something a bit simpler this year.

[Hiroi Sekai]

Awesome, for people who haven't decided on rooming yet, I'm looking for people to maybe split costs with this year. Let me know if you're looking too!

[Esclair]

I live in LA so I don't need to worry about accommodations

[Hiroi Sekai]

Yeah, AX took down their forums where people decided on these things, so the process has become a lot more tedious than it needs to be. LA hotels are stupidly expensive too. >.<

[Esclair]

The forums are gone? That sucks. Although with the site revamp maybe they'll bring it back online later.

Hopefully yes. They've revamped the site for a while now though, and with the event about 2 months away, they need to do it now if anything.
