Inbetween quite a few actually, tsubasa chronicles (dont really like it but the wife does), Red Garden, Bleach, Code Geass, Moribito, Rave Master (just because), Claymore, and Baccano! Thank you netflix!!

i think that would be a great idea, i love it when people do odd obscure characters instead of just the main stream ones.

ok here is my go, Filler episodes in Naruto, i dont know of any anime with so many (and most of them pointless) filler episodes in history, they just suck and the animation has down graded immensely Full metal alchemist the movie, Seemed like they rushed it, wht the hell does Adolf hilter had to do with anything is beyond me and didnt need to be in the story, the worst part is that was the movies main hook and was kept a secret till a few weeks before release. I was expecting a better tie in to the epic tale not this garabage (good animation though) Just because there are some

Done with comics are they now onto manga and anime. May not be a bad thing, lately, Hollywood has been doing good with the comic movies will be fun to see an actual anime come to frutation. Even though hongkong does action better then USA. anyway should be interesting to see.

My girlfriend and I got one each as a sort of Sunday last-minute thing, hoping to discover some new, maybe obscure series. Although there were some interesting things (which have spurred a bit of exploration), I'd say they were not worth what we paid -- I'm no authority, but it seemed largely like stuff the vendors knew wasn't likely to sell off the shelf. A slightly broken wall hanging, a pre-opened action figure, vol. 23 of some graphic novel.... Has this been others' experience with grab bags? That said, if I could read Japanese decently enough, I'd guess the other one of the grab bags

Con noob! what, where, when is Katsucon?

Damn i missed that. I am an advid mecha collector and builder (though i am still a novice since i dont really paint my models, sand them down, stuff like that but i have a ton of models and action figures all mecha related.) I would of loved to have seen your panel as I am also interested in meeting others in this genre.

Yeah that was pretty sweet, i didnt see it in person though, unfortunately. Its amazing, for being there for all three days how many cool cosplays i missed. then agian with attendance of 26K+ it would of been impossible to see everyone.

So its probably only worth it to go one day and not the whole weekend. The flyer and site makes one think there there will be a lot going on this year, however.

Yea there was quite a few chars i didnt recognize but then again theres a lot of anime i haven't seen either. Also, i think some people dressed up just for the sake of dressing up. (like the three rave/goth girls i saw with gas masks on or was i mistaken?)

So has anyone been to NYAF. Is it worth it. It seems like it is a smaller event with less things to do even though the flyer says otherwise. You would think there would be a bigger crowd in the big apple though.

Yeah i felt it for about a week. Constatnly looking at pictures, and even got me to join this fourm. I tell you it really ramped up my anime obession by at least 100%!! I am higly considering going to the nyanimefestival. Anyone else planning on attending that!

Yeah i thought he was pretty witty myself not sure if all of his material was written for him but he was better then most of the skits. Seems like a really cool guy.

any place we can see pictures of the winners and such?

is that why they wouldnt let us flim and take pictures. if they have no plans to profit from it not sure why we couldnt tape it ourselves if we were able to.

will have to save this for later

Just seeing so many people of all ages and color together enjoying anime and seeing all the cosplay up close and personal. It was my first Otakon so just being there was awesome enough. Also my first Rave exp. and was pretty damn cool!

Speaking of grab bags, who bought any and were they worth it?

Yup thats the ticket. had some interesting side stories in it.

Here are my favs in the oder it appears in my head Naruto Bleach Gurren Lagan Basilisk Ninja Scroll Full Metal Alchemist Dragon Half Slayers Ranma 1/2 Speed Grapher Black Lagoon Death Note Samurai Pizza Cats Shin Chan Trigun Blood Plus Yu Yu Hakusho Samurai 7 Berserk Black Blood Brothers Golgo 13: the Professional Blue seed Blue gender Samurai champloo something...... Paranoia thats all i can think of now. oh and Trinity blood would have made the list if not for the half @$$ BS last episode.

How bout more trash cans in general in and outside of bcc. i swear i felt sorry for the poor saps that had to clean up after the con, it truly looked run down and full of litter, especailly outside near the steps. Otherwise going green is a great idea. I too felt some areas were far colder then others notabley the dealers room and artist alley. and the rave was the complete opposite!

Sounds like a cool idea, but highly doubt it would ever happen.......... Also, Anime + boring Baseball, just doenst seem so fun to me. Maybe the anime would spruce it up a notche or 10

Gas: 96 Tolls: 20 Hotel 2nights: 115 Parking: 28 Food: 70 Registration: 133 Merchandise: 500 Total: 962 Wow thats the first time i ever looked at it like this, didnt realize i spent so much!!!

Extended stay Inn (about 6miles from BCC) Only Me and my Wife Total cost of room for two nights 114 (made reservations thourgh Hotwire) Pros: Great price. Nice spacious room w/AC. Cons Asked for a nonsmoking room but the room (and hallway for that matter) reeked of cig smoke. Room was never cleaned the entire time we stayed. Again, you cant beat it for the price and the fact that i booked it 4 days before the con, but you get what you pay for in the end. I think even one of the dealers stayed here (HouseofAnime.com) I would definitely stay there again but would
