Otakon bans vuvuzelas; the world rejoices

I really, really hate the vuvuzela.  The noise that those cursed “instruments” make sounds to me like a cross between a pair of yaks mating, and a pair of yaks dying an excruciatingly painful death.  As I wrote previously, those abominations were all over the LA Convention Center during Anime Expo, and it seemed to [...]

Save $$$ on an Anime Expo 2011 4-day Pass — but only if you act quickly!

Did you have so much fun at Anime Expo this year that you’ve resolved to definitely attend next year, come hell or high water?  Or maybe you couldn’t make it this year because of financial reasons, but really want to try and go next year?  Or maybe you’re a tightwad and want to try and [...]

And thus ends another Anime Expo… (Updated)

I write this from our tiny hotel room at the Kawada, on the eve of AX Day 4, after an enforced 4 hour-ish nap.  Anime Expo 2010 was another phenomenal event.  Some among our panelists will disagree (and I’m sure they’ll elaborate during our inevitable Panel Review of Doom, which we’ll try to get to [...]

My AX 2010 Schedule

Here it is, in all its glory.  Again, the usual “I am only human, and a pretty flaky one at that, so may not (most likely won’t) make it to every event I’ve highlighted,  the mind is willing but the flesh is weak and all that” applies.

(Yes, I know, I’ve seemingly double- or triple-booked myself [...]

Make the most of your time at AX with these cool new scheduling tools

When you look at your typical anime convention’s schedule, what do you do?  Does your mind seize up with panic and indecision?  Do you just say “screw it” and decide to “go with the flow” and just randomly drift between whatever events interest you?  (One of my friends and co-hosts swears by this method and [...]

It’s officially official, part deux: Looks like I’ll be at Anime Expo as well!

Looks like I’ll be pretty busy this summer.  Not only will I be presenting a panel at FanimeCon, but today I found out that I will also be presenting not one, but TWO panels at Anime Expo!!

Anime Expo is, I would wager, one of the US’s largest anime conventions (44,000 attended in 2009), and is [...]

Holy crap, that’s a lot of people!

If you’re a long time listener of Otaku no Podcast, I’m sure you’ve heard certain of our panelists complaining about the large crowds at certain of the more high-profile anime/comic conventions.  Indeed, when you look at the attendance figures for two recent events, Anime Expo (reportedly 44,000) and San Diego Comic-Con (reported by Wikipedia as [...]

Anime Expo 2009 photos on Flickr

Friend of the show Beep has set up a Flickr group to share your photos from Anime Expo 2009.  A few of us have already started posting pictures there.  If you’ve got pix from AX’09 you are welcome to share them as well.  Or just click the link and check out all the cool cosplay.
