Anime-Beta TNG

I knew going in that III would be bad in terms of what goes down, seeing it of course was something else. Especially Guts doing that number on his arm to break free. Talk about berserk! 8O I'm active on another forum and a lot of people on there who had been following the series more in depth were n...

I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum. The blurb for this series got me to check it out but I started to lose interest as it went along. I would have dropped it had I not been close to finishing season 1. Unlikely that I'll watch season 2 unless I really, really have a good reason to.

That aspect of getting something signed is what irks me too. It says that not all guests will be affected by drawings, but are otherwise first come first served. Haven't bought a ticket yet as that $100 for the premium has me thinking twice about getting it.

August 23-25, 2013 (weekend before Labor Day ) Santa Clara Convention Center http://www.japan-expo.org/ This is the first event in the US and an expansion of Japan Expo from France. I was curious to know if some folks, and I know that Cutiebunny said she has tickets, are thinking of going. I was not...

These caught my eye:

*Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu - Gainax is behind this, something worthwhile has got to come out of it.
*Gifuu Doudou!!: Kanetsugu to Keiji - Samurai action and the manga was drawn by Tetsuo Hara of Hokuto no Ken renown.

According to this story , he worked for "Ryuhana Press, a defunct start-up that sold anime art." Here's an archive of his profile off the site. This is interesting. In the BG are what look like cels from Ranma, El Hazard, Slayes, and Iria. Not sure what the fourth one down is. http://asset...

Hmm, I didn't know you were into American comic art, not seeing any on your RS gallery. And yes, I now recall you mentioning about Yokota last year. When I do get more curious I'll let you know. He was at PMX last year, maybe he'll repeat.

I wonder who else I missed besides Maeda, would have loved to get a Miko Mido sketch. Big Wow removed their 2013 guests already so I don't know who went other than the American comic artists. This is secondhand rumors, I heard someone mentioning in line that Yokota is persona non grata from Fanime, ...

The idea for Saboten sounds good. A red flag for me though that came up is that they don't have much of a forum , nor is it jumping. There's not even a general con type subforum for this a topic like this, with Ask the Staff maybe being the closest. Maybe I can contact the con directly so at least t...

Glad to hear that you had a good time. The issues that you mentioned with Fanime were still there, although I had an abnormal pre-reg back pick up wait time, just over an hour. Heard of some nightmare waits of several hours. The autograph lines this year though were different since the only artist w...

So, who ended up going? I posted a report on another forum , please let me know if this is not kosher. Very much an Eva-themed Fanime for me and overall I enjoyed it despite all the SNAFUs that plagued it this year. Met DrScorpio and learned how awesome a mecha illustrator Nonaka is. And that cutieb...

In what capacity? There is a Marisa that I know of but not sure if it's the same person. Last year she did swap meet and masquerade but announced at the latter that since she has a new son I believe she would be stepping down.

Cool beans, I'll be there too. No Yokota this year though.

Never heard of any of the new titles and the only one of the continuations that I'll likely pick up is AKB0048 Season 2.

I'd be curious if you have any Eva ones that haven't been listed yet. Or if not, that's OK too.
