THE CURSE OF THE CON

Sun May 24, 2009, 10:17 PM
  • Mood: Tired
  • Listening to: Radiohead-Optimistic
So in a feeble attempt to update my journal I'm going to take this time to talk about fanime and how much it disturbed me.Have you ever been to a place that you thought you'd really enjoy but instead came out of it feeling disturbed,annoyed,and maybe even a little scarred for life?...that in a nutshell was fanime for me.Admittedly this was my first time going to a full fledged anime convention so perhaps I was just in shock..but the fact that people felt the need to run around barely wearing any clothes(boys and girls alike)did not help.I like anime and all that but certainly not to the extent that I would cosplay,and I sure as hell am no gamer so in a way I felt slightly out of place.These people were hardcore fanatics and it was made pretty clear by the time I walked in the door that this was their way of life.In actuality the whole point I had even shown up to the event was to see starchildrose(which was very fun since I hadn't seen her since January).Once I met up with her and her sister we ran around like maniacs taking in the sights and sounds and being generally creeped out by the various cosplayers,and it was fun,for about half an hour,let's face it...there are only so many times you can go in and out of 3 rooms before it gets very very dull.I saw some familiar art at artists alley though but didn't stop to buy anything,and I was kind of surprised to see some somewhat obscure animes being cosplayed(kuroshitsuji,gintama,and katekyo hitman reborn to be precise and is sailor moon popular again?!).But one thing I still have yet to understand is why so many people felt like they should be wearing gothic lolita and VK wear...I'm sorry to say it(actually I'm not)but not everyone can pull that look off..it just doesn't work and it kind of annoys me to see people in VK when the style is at an all-time low(since certain people just overkilled it).All in all it was...interesting,and I have no idea if I'd go back next year..we'll have to see.

the reasons why one can't laugh from the heart
the treasons which one can't take from the heart
it's a simple reason
it's a nimble treason

By the way, if you have nothing else to watch, if you haven't already seen Kyo Kara Moah! it's actually pretty funny

Oh yeah I've heard of that...thanks for the suggestion!
right now I'm ploughing through the last season of Scrubs so when I'm done with that I think I'll move onto Kyo Kara Moah

I love scrubs! But I only watch the episodes on Comedy Central (which are really old). Anyway, KKM is pretty funny, I wouldn't necessarily compare it to Gintama, but it's in the same vain (except the writers of KKM aren't on cocaine like the Gintama people are)
