Anime Expo 2012, Day 3: It’s cosplay, deal with it!

Not a whole lot to report today. We didn’t really go to any panels. The day was spent mostly wandering around the (Xbox huge) dealer’s hall and artist’s alley, and attending Masquerade. So today’s post will consist of mostly miscallany.

I’m sure I’ve missed tons of industry announcements, even at the panels that we went […]


Anime Expo 2012, Day 2: Circling the drain

Note: the same grammar/typo/accuracy disclaimer from yesterday’s update also applies here. Didn’t take any notes, so my only reference is a log of my liveblog, which can be somewhat hard to follow at times (even for me, and I wrote the darn thing).

Attending an anime con usually involves a certain level of Con Drama™. […]


Anime Expo 2012, Day 1: Let’s do the time warp again

Before we start, I’d like to apologize for any factual errors as well as grammatical errors/typos. It’s been a long day and I’m way too tired to do anything but a cursory look-over of this post.

Day 1 got off to a promising start – I actually managed to get out of bed before half […]


Anime Expo 2012, Day 0: And so it begins…

The best laid plans of mice and men… or so the old saying goes. We’d planned on arriving in Los Angeles sometime in the early afternoon so that we could leisurely pick up our press badges and catch at least some of the press conferences; but alas, it was not to be, thanks to a […]


The FanimeCon 2012 Cosfest Post of Doom! (including pictures!)

Yes folks, it’s true: I’ve actually begun going through my FanimeCon pics! (See, I’m really trying to overcome this whole inertia thing…)

Unfortunately going through them is going to take a while. I vowed to try and be more judicious in the use of the shutter button, but failed miserably – I ended up with […]


FanimeCon 2012 AMV Contest Finalists and Winners (Updated)

OK, it appears as though the AMVs that were shown at this year’s FanimeCon have started hitting the org, so I figure now’s as good a time as any to post about it…

Overall there were some amazing videos this year, and aside from the usual technical glitches (c’mon people, just burn a frakkin’ DVD […]

The PMX 2011 Meta-Post of Doom!

You’re probably wondering “gee, where the hell has the Otaku no Podcast crew been?! Surely they must be back from PMX by now!” Yes, in fact we have been back for a few days; however one of us is more or less incommunicado while she’s helping to housesit for a relative…. and I have contracted […]


Going to PMX? Got a smartphone? Get the PMX schedule on it with Guidebook!

One of the benefits of today’s modern smartphones is easy, instant access to the data you need wherever and whenever you are. As anime fans and con-goers, this is especially desirable for us. Not having to fuss around with clunky paper-based schedules is something we’ve dreamed of for quite some time. And thankfully, a company […]
