This is a pretty darn good AMV. I found this one when I was looking for a different one. I’m posting it here because it doesn’t quite fit with the ones I’m planning to post on AnimeFansOnline, but I wanted to share it anyway.
Speaking of Angels.
I was going to post this later, but since I’m talking about Angels I’ll post it here.
Angel over at WorldOfAngel.com is giving away $100. That could buy a lot of anime. Well, it could buy some anime. As expensive as it’s getting an extra $100 would help. So go check out the contest rules and enter. If you win, feel free to send a little thank you this way. *L*
If you want to win the Conqueror of Shambala special edition, then head over to AnimeFansOnline. I’m giving away 1 special edition, 1 regular DVD and 1 music CD by Vic Mignogna, the guy who plays Ed in the English dub. All three are autographed.
The rules are simple. Just leave a comment there about your favorite character or episode from Fullmetal Alchemist. In a couple of weeks I’ll pick the winners.
Win the Conqueror of Shambala Special Edition.
As will happen from time to time when attending conventions, I came home sick. I have the Con Flu. Mine is really more of a cold, but Con Flu sounds better. I suppose it’s bound to happen when you get that many people together.
The last I heard, Dragon Con was estimated at 40,000 people this year. Sounds about right to me. There were about 12,000 people trying to squeeze into the anime track panels. Well, maybe not that many. Though it does seem like Dragon Con severely underestimated the anime track’s popularity.
Even though I spent a lot of my time in the anime panels, I don’t think I caught this bug in there. I blame the elevators. Small boxes that a high percentage of convention goers are packed into at one point or another. Yep, the elevators seem the most likely candidate to me.
I believe I’ll pack a few cans of lysol next year. Maybe even a few surgical masks. Think if I dress like Adrian Monk I’ll seem less crazy?
Well, the Naruto Hundo is over. It was great. Sure I’d seen most of ‘em before, but that’s not what a TV marathon is about. It’s about pushing your TV watching endurance and watching a show you love.
Whatever happened to the TV marathon? This is the first one I’ve seen in a while. they used to be on the weekends and holidays more often. I remember when a local station did a Star Trek marathon every year. Every episode of Star Trek: TOS all in a row. It was awesome.
Now the closest thing to a true TV marathon we can look forward to is A Christmas Story Futurama hard to find. I’m glad Cartoon Network ran this one. I have a better appreciation of the show now. Check AnimeFansOnline.com later for more of my thoughts on the Naruto Hundo. The post should go up in a few hours.
Man, time is flying by. I still have tons of stuff to get done, like my Space Ghost stuff. I still need to write up a couple of blog posts to go up automatically. Just in case I can’t write up anything while I’m there. Yep, lot of stuff to get done. I’m excited that it’s almost here though.
Things are being switched around in the hotels. Since the Marriott is undergoing construction the dealers room has been moved to the Hilton. That sucks for me because I’m staying in the Hyatt. That’s a long walk. It’s made even longer since they’re closing the street between the Hyatt and Marriott to foot traffic at “peak hours”. So I won’t be hitting the dealers room nearly as much this year. That could be a good thing, maybe I won’t spend as much money.
Fewer trips to the dealer’s room should free up some time for me to get more pictures. I need to get a few shots of cosplayers for Anime Fans Online. I also need to see if there are any good anime events scheduled. I know there’s an AMV contest, but I’m not sure how I’d write up a post about that. I just hope they set up a site with the winners I can link to.
Looks like there are some great guest this year too. Here a few people that are supposed to be there.
A few of the scheduled guests.
Just a few of the guests I’m looking forward to seeing.
- Jamie Bamber & Richard Hatch Wooo! Both Apollos!
- James Marsters
- James & Oliver Phelps Can’t wait to hear what the twins think of Deathly Hallows.
- Matthew Lewis Ditto for Neville.
- Claudia Black
- Gil Gerard & Erin Gray
- Jason Hawes & Grant Wilson
You can never tell when someone will have to cancel, like these folks did.
Cancellations.
- Sean Astin
- Mary Jo Putney
- Jeff Austin
- Lance Henriksen
- Stolen Babies
- Virginia Hey
- Teresa Patterson
- Richard Epcar
- Jan Osburg
- Crab Scrambly
- Katee Sackhoff
Too bad Starbuck won’t be there. That means both Apollos will be there, and both Starbucks won’t.
Yep, it’s true. It’s being built for a good cause too. Check out the article on AnimeFansOnline.
Just a little heads up. Starting Monday Anime Fans Online will be running a contest. The prize is a $50 gift certificate to J-Box. Check the site on Monday to get all the details.
I just wrote up a short review of OtakuUSA for animefansonline.com, it should be posted in about an hour. (It’s up now, been up for a while)
Check out OtakuUSA. It’s a good anime/manga magazine.
Yesterday someone talked me into checking out Squidoo. I’d been reluctant to check it out because it just sounded weird. Kinda like a mashup of MySpace and Digg. Well, I was wrong. It’s not quite like anything I’d ever seen.
What is it? It’s a free web page builder with lot’s of stuff. Lots of different modules to add. It’s pretty easy too. It kinda reminded me of setting up a MyYahoo or iGoogle page. Just pick the parts you want on there, arrange ‘em and click the edit buttons to customize each part. It’s a breeze to set up a lens. Oh, a lens is what they call a page.
The really interesting part is the different modules. Text modules, guest book modules, lists, even flickr and youtube have a module. Some of the modules, like the Amazon one, can earn money. You get to decide where the money goes. It can be donated to charity or paid to you. It can even be split between charity and your account.
I had fun setting up my lens. I enjoyed arranging and editing the modules. I might set up a few more.
Well, it official. I’m now doing an Anime blog for 451 press.
You can visit it at animefansonline.com.
