  1. They're expecting a second wave to happen this fall, so don't get your hopes up.
  2. I freaked out a bit because I saw the email late and thought I missed the Marquis, but seems like its not clear when that one will become available...how will registration be handled for a single high in demand hotel if and when it does open? Booked at Embassy for the meanwhile.
  3. Knew for a fact that it was coming, but its still sad to hear it.
  4. Well, even the ICP is canceling due to COVID - the annual Gathering of the Juggalos got canceled until 2021. Don't think Otakon has much of a chance.
  5. I don't care that its a small con, I actually enjoyed that part of it in a lot of ways (lack of lines, lol). But actually a big part of my bad experience last time was in part due to being a first time panelist there, where some people in charge tried to blame me for something that went wrong on their end and not mine. So that plus the decline in programming made me decide to end my attendance streak. Good luck with your panel though!
  6. No competition there. I've been going to that con for many years and its been going downhill. Didn't go last year because the experience was so bad in 2018. Anyways, I'm not optimistic about rescheduling for later in the year. There's very real concern of a second wave or coronavirus resurgence in the fall (Dr Fauci just made a statement on this), especially if it comes to overlap with flu season.
  7. Agreed. I'm immune compromised and would find it hard to commit to going even if it does happen due to fears of this...
  8. Anime Boston 2020 Cancellation Announcement Glad I went last year and checked this off my bucket list of cons to attend. Still sucks though, I feel for any AB regulars.
  9. Anime NYC just put out a notice on the website regarding the coronavirus: http://animenyc.com/coronavirus/
  10. So as many of us know, there are two live action Rurouni Kenshin films being released this summer, the first will be out in Japanese theaters on July 3, the second one comes out in August. What I'm curious about is if there's a chance that the first movie, Rurouni Kenshin Saishūshō The Final might be shown at Otakon this year? I would hope so, I saw the first live action RK movie at Otakon years ago and it was a fun experience.

  12. I saw a perfect Griffith cosplay at the Berserk panel on Friday morning.
  13. Forgot to include this under Bad: The Otakon Game Show. I didn't stay for the whole thing because, well, I couldn't see what was going on. You had to be in the first few rows to even get a glimpse. And from what I heard at the con feedback session, it didn't get much better, a guy was complaining that the whole thing was basically "elementary school games."
  14. I went but ended up leaving because we couldn't see anything where we were sitting. You had to be in the first few rows :/

  16. I was able to sneak in food just fine (there's a hidden compartment in my bag so I used that lol) but on one trip into the building security told me I couldn't have my mini water bottle on me because someone had put liquor in one of theirs. Fortunately she seemed to change her mind and to go on in. It was weird.
