Oh no! I hope he's among the percentage of patients that recover their hearing!

Here are my annual requests for: Musical Guests: DO AS INFINITY (of whom was in Taiwan during Otakon this year. ) Voice Actors (Seiyuu): Mitsuishi Kotono Hisakawa Aya Tomizawa Michie Shinohara Emi Fukami Rika Furuya Tohru Han Keiko ...and any of the other Sailor Moon seiyuu from the 90s series. I'd die happy if either DAI or these fine seiyuu were to come to Otakon 2018 (or any year possible). ...more seiyuu: MEGUMI HAYASHIBARA! Please and thank you.

Hey guys. Here's my review of Otakon 2017 vlog style. I'm aware I left out mentioning the Autograph "rooms" being in Artists' Alley, but I'm not too concerned about that since this review is what I remember of my experience of the WEWCC and the events I attended.

@MattTheMinion any word on the final count yet?

...Sorry for causing such controversy guys... this guy bothered me with his ignorance and I wanted community feedback/I wanted to vent.

Okay, well they're aware of him anyway.

Staff is aware of this douchebagface. I know some staff members and they're on it. This Bruce Allen dude is likely gonna be blacklisted if he isn't already.

Thanks! And no not yet... If it was found they should have it by now, and if I don't hear back from then in the next 10 min when they close I'll call them tomorrow to see if they've received it etc. I really only lost clothes and yes my cosplays, but I can make/get my cosplays back. I was just depressed/sad that I couldn't cosplay like I had wanted to.

Here's a quick video reaction I made... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sure but comments like these also annoy me a little: ShiggitayMedia1 hour ago (edited) You are an idiot. Do you not understand that you need a badge to attend such a convention? Public space? Maybe outside the convention center where people are out on the street walking around, but when you're in the DC Con Center for any event held there you NEED TO BUY BADGE! Why did you even try? Are you that inept and ignorant... I'm also surprised that the attendees didn't call you out and report you... I know I totally would have. Reply Jack Garrison31 minutes agoHighlighted reply ShiggitayMedia Jesus. You actually watched the video, right? This guy had no clue what the hell Otakon was when he started - he didn't even know the name! How the ---- can you expect him to know all the "paid annual convention of Otakorp, inc." stuff? He just wanted to come and take pictures. If the security had handled it better, he might've even become a recurring paid attendee. He had clear interest, and was a new face. If Otakon doesn't want to keep hemorrhaging attendance and stay solvent, these are exactly the sort of people they need to attract. Those with a casual interest who have a reason to be there. He never intended to "sneak in" - he just didn't know the rules. Instead of having them explained, security mismanaged the situation - and now the mighty Internet Warrior ShiggitayMedia is going to heroically call him an idiot for casually checking out a convention. Your mom must be proud.

Yeah I mean he's an idiot. How did he not see "Registration" right there in clear sight? I'm mentally preparing to record a video about this, cuz he pissed me off a little.

I'd guess that it's easily AT LEAST 25-27,000. For its first year in DC and with it having had moved that'd be an excellent number. if we indeed had 30k+ it didn't feel like it thanks to the vastness of the WEWCC.

Oh well... I'm tempted to come to AnimeNYC later this year, but I don't know if I can swing that yet. If I can't make it, then there's always next year at Ota. Thanks for watching the vlog.
