[Con] NY Comic Con / NY Anime Festival

[The Eva Monkey]

Then we need someone else to give fandom a good name? Doesn't anyone here ever do a panel?

I will be adressing that soon enough.

Also, in case you haven't read it, this is also a good read:

Make sure you scroll down until you get to the actual substantial part about V.

That was a good read, Old Snake was pretty cool. I would've loved to sit in on his panel and laugh my head off.

One of my home town friends is up there with some NY friends at Comic Con, and the subject of going to his panel to heckle for me was brought up. She laughed and said "Nah, that would be giving "V" too much credit".

Best. Friend. Ever.

Read the Japanator article... Found it damn hilarious until the Fort90 article was brought up. That was even more hilarious.

Anyway, besides that bomb, what else from the event?

The original Mobile Suit Gundam is finally getting a billingual DVD release.

@V Fail - V, you sad, fucking fail you.

Oh god this is priceless.

Words fail me...

...it makes me sad to be an Eva fan.

I loved this comment at the bottom of the page: "People give Evangelion way too much credit. My guess is that this man is a self-aware manifestation of the misaimed reverence that anime fans give the series and seeks to subvert their interests. "

V fails so hard, he circles all the way back around to subversive Pop Art.

V is the Ultimate Warrior of Evangelion fandom

Now to bring this topic back to Comic Con and not about V....

I had a pretty good time. Made several mistakes that I surely learned from and saw cosplayers as far as the eye can see. Some really good costumes, some very bad costumes, and some mentally scarring cosplayers.

Went to a panel where Stan Lee and X-Japan pianist/drummer Yoshiki announced a new motion comic project.

Played Marvel vs. Capcom 3(freaking sweet). Saw a demo for a new Captain America game.

Got some free comics and spent most of my money on others.
Also picked up Hetalia: Axis Powers.

I checked out a Durarara panel featuring Crispin Freeman where there was a sneak peek at the dub and very lulzy outtakes were shown.

The South Park Butters panel was pretty lame.

I did not go to V's Rise of Gainax panel due to losing interest.

Europe has Dusseldorf. They might just have us beat, from what other Germans have told me.

Well, i was talking about Greece and the near-side countries actually, just did not wanna put the middle finger towards my own country, heh. /guess i did it anyway.

The only one i will be attending next year, is Paris's Japan Expo which is hugeass, so better start saving from now.
Also, this is getting OT now so..back on track.

[The Eva Monkey]

I really need to make it up to something in NY someday.

[Sailor Star Dust]

Any other members going just let us know!

If it's any consolation, I was planning on doing an NYC-con EGF meetup this year but things didn't work out. Maybe next year for that or Otakon. Maybe.
