I didn't go to Otakon because it was absolute shit last year.

How the the con as a whole this year?

Also, looking at the panel list, I was interest in "Phenomenology of Ikari Shinji" and "Kigurumi 101 & 102"; how were those panels?

Otakon was actually a lot better this year. It felt like there were alot less annoying kiddies running around than in years past. Also there were very few cancerous 4channers fagging it up either. I had a really good time this year, probably the best I've ever had.

Oh well, I had other aspects preventing me from going, so none is lost.

What were you expecting? I mean, really? I was expecting there would be some anime to watch, a panel or two to attend, and some anime shit to buy.

Look, you're either going to have to come up with something concrete that you were expecting or you're going to look like one of those tantrum-throwing children who has determined beforehand that he will never allow himself to be happy. If that's the case, then shut the fuck up and live with the fact that you spent money on something that you couldn't even justify to begin with.>>286listed concrete examples of what he expected, and from what I understand that's basically what happened at the convention. No, there weren't fireworks. No, there wasn't a shooting or a bomb and moot didn't break dance whenever people called his name. It's an anime convention, nothing particularly special in that sense.

It was s'alright. There was the usual amount of fail and yaoi, but it didn't seem so bad this year. Maybe I'm jaded or maybe it really is less.

It was pretty average. My only complaint is that MOOT GOT SICK WHAT THE FUCK MOOT YOU SAID WE'D PLAY MARIO KART.

The "Welcome to Touhou" panel which promised drunk lolis among other things, was suddenly replaced with a panel about the psychology of cosplay. After 3 minutes, people started to look at one another, and finally someone stood up and asked where his drunk lolis were. The guy sounded like he was trying to troll us. It worked. 3/4 of the room left.

Aside from that disappointment I had a blast

They banned the Yaoi and Yuri paddles. Thank God, I was getting sick of those and the obnoxious squealing fatties they gathered.

The whole point of cons is to watch all the lolis and jailbait run around half naked.

There used to be other points, but Otacorp has made a point of banning anything fun or interesting as "disruptive".

Me and my friend trolled people on Pictochat posing as Moot. We got one guy to walk into a wall, fucking hilarious.

Last year was the best fucking year I ever had, partially due to how fucking good I felt about my Segata cosplay, and having a journalist's badge.

This year was still pretty good. Had a whole lot more hawtness for one thing.

it was ok as a whole, the Phenomenology of Ikari Shinji sucked balls. It was some philosophy majors that started ranting about how deep FMA was. I miss the Eva panel from last year.

Bad, Anime, Bad was ok, but needs new content. If you went to the eariler versions, not much was added. Also, otakorp, NEVER, EVER invite those fags that did the Alcohol and Anime panel. The worst 2+ hrs I wasted online for pretty much a powerpoint presentation and shitty skits. If I wanted to be entertained in a better way, I should have touched myself instead.

Oh yeah, and there were a lot of fucking people here this year.

The Kano Sisters Panel was the most weak.

Otakon was spectacularly mediocre.

I spent 99.876% of the time that I was not at the rave, shit-faced, or both, in the game room, waiting an hour just to play a game once.

It's an anime convention, only losers go to those things, and if you even want to go to one, you're a loser too, so you reap what you sow.

"Phenomenology of Ikari Shinji" - ok, but mostly talked about Trigun - was like a lecture really

"Kigurumi 101 & 102" - was full of FAIL, but no people
