You know, what's really interesting is that
the launch of the New Nautilus is paid homage to in Evangelion 3.33 but the scene in Nadia was, itself, a homage to the launch of the Space Battleship Yamato from the anime bearing the same name. So by the time we get to Rebuild it's a reference to a reference, a snake eating it's own tail.
I'm too much of a self-loathing anime fan to have ever actually gone to a con, but from what I hear, beware yaoi paddles.

anime fans definitely
keep a bottle of deodorant, a water spray bottle, and hand sanitizer on you at all times
if you are wealthy enough have a computer capable of playing minecraft and MLP videos to lure away some of the more problematic types on you as well
Yaoi paddles are so passé.
Just like anything else, there are good ones and bad ones. The good ones generally keep to themselves and their friends and are too busy enjoying themselves to act stupid. The bad ones are noisy, obnoxious, and rude. They're attention fiends who aren't really into anime, but instead just place themselves alongside it as a facet for their inability to act normal.
I'm actually going to be at AX this year. Already got my pass and errthang. The year I go is the year I've barely watched any anime. It makes perfect sense!
But AX is supposed to be rad, and I'll get to eat a ton of Roscoes in LA while I'm there, so I'm STOKED

Ogie is like the only likeable character in the series because he's a calm, rational everyman.

While I'm too nervous to ever go to one, though I'd love to sell my art at one some day.

I've been to only two cons.
Being in small midwest cities they sucked ass and were small as fuck.

Anime Cons: You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
I don't understand why you seem to hate the fandom so much., anime fandom is such a wonderful thing. It brings us all together into wonderful communities like this filled with personalities and varying opinions while we passionately talk about something we all really love. I think its beautiful. Yes there are silly teenagers and social miscreants about, but there are far more people who just want to mingle with like minded people who share a hobby. One of my favorite things to do is hang out with artists and commission personalized drawings from them. You might even make some friends along the way. Maybe its because Im a bit outgoing, but Ive never felt alienated at a convention.
Learn THE TRUTH from the great Anime World Order beforehand and…
THE TRUTH: The Japanese Animation Convention is Decadent and Depraved, Part 1 (49:00 – 1:02:45)
Daryl Surat has noticed how all the other anime podcasts refuse to reveal THE TRUTH about anime conventions, and that’s been especially so as of late. Here’s what all the OTHER podcasters and websites don’t want you to know: anime conventions are a den of sin overrun by people whose interest in anime is but tangential or secondary to another, more primary interest, usually some freaky kink. The word has spread about anime cons being “safe” territory to practice one’s deviancies without fear of retribution, and this is the result. In the first part of yet another SHOCKING and COMPLETELY NOT DISHONEST look at anime conventions in the light of the Katsucon and Megacon reports of shows past, Daryl once again does what those OTHER convention reporters don’t have the BALLS to do, and that’s flat-out lie, deceptively edit, and plagiarize for the sake of proving his pre-conceived conclusions. Just like the real news you see on TV!

… heed these incredibly wise words and you should be good to go.

I'm on the fence on going to Fanime next weekend.
Game convention are worse.
I like Suzaku, but I suppose he has all of next season to sink into a terrible pit of despair before inevitably being forced by the Gods of Anime and yaoi fangirls to make his peace with the scum of the Earth. I also
liked Euphemia, but that ship has sailed.
Ogie is definitely the most reasonable guy in the show, though. No ideology, just a nice guy who wants nice things.
Gun x Sword 6
HER NAME IS BUNNY AND HE IS CLAT. GEDDIT? BONNIE AND CLYDE? Seriously though, I can't tell you how fun this episode was in mere words. It wasn't Eldora 5 makes you cry, but it was still crazy off the wall fun.
HER DAD IS THE GOD FATHER.
Last time I went to AX was back in 20...10? I think. It was really fun from what I remember.
I'd love to go again this year but I doubt i'll have the funds to make it.

What are yaoi paddles, how have I not heard of this before?
cause its bad
Oh ho? I would love to hear more about this.
Its not bad. It is beautiful.

Nothing that made SAO as popular as it is could be beautiful.
is bad
I did not see any Buddha nature in this link. How disappointing.
The guest list is too weak for me to bother with a weekend pass this year -- I've learned my lesson by now -- but I might buy a Saturday pass for the 7!!/ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D concert. The Omori/Sato panel is also that day, and if I'm lucky they might have autographs too and I could get my Baccano copy signed.
Of course I can always just drop by any time during the weekend to see the hall cosplay anyway.

I'm sort of on the self-loathing anime fan side, though it may just be because I'm not generally a social person and have met my fair share of anime fans I don't particularly care for.
I find beauty in the community it creates. the friendships and bonds, the love shared for this hobby. That's what is beautiful about it.
The passes aren't too bad: 65~ for all four days, but I'm sinking a little more cash into the hotel than wanted.

Man a lot of you guys really hate yourselves, don't you?
I can't watch Kiddy Grade around or tell people I know I've seen it for the following reasons:
1. OP sings the word TWINKLE without a hint of irony.
2. All the panty shots.
3. Finding people to watch anime with is hard enough.
4. Kiddy Grade just SOUNDS like the kind of show you'd tease a grown man for watching.
This is all disregarding the content of the show, mind you, but when you think about a grown man watching animu, and he tells you he's watching something called "Kiddy Grade" the urge to make fun of him is almost uncontrollable for anyone else. Hell, I'M WATCHING IT and I still want to make fun of someone for watching it. It isn't even BAD, it's just the TWIIIIINKLE and the name and the eyes far apart.
It's all such easy pickings, haha.
I can think of nothing I love more.

If you would rather admit to watching Saturday's Warrior then something is seriously wrong.
Daggum Kiddy Grade OP is so catchy, though.
TWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINKLE
Is Saturday's Warrior the one where the guy finds out his mom is pregnant and quips "Geez maw, next time, why don't you just drop a litter?" I don't know that I've actually seen that one the whole way through. I don't know that I've seen ANY of those the whole way through, except like, Single's Ward.

Not gonna lie. The name of the show is kind of hilarious and creepy out of context. the title actually means that Éclair and Lumiere are in the low tier of GOTT, the "kiddy grade". Its a silly and stupid name for a very fun show.
Plus, PLUS, the artbox came with a hat with Kiddy Grade emblazoned on it! Imagine wearing that without an explanation.
Still a marvelous show though. I hope you continue it.
The various ES members are pretty cool with all the various powers and abilities. And then shit goes south in a hurry.

Self-loathing is the fuel of my existence, but that fires beyond just liking anime.
Oh I haven't even considered dropping it. I'm just saying its so, I don't know, prime for mocking?

I must hate myself if I managed to plow through Max Heart within a week.
Oh it definitely is.
I bet just the name turned people away from this show. But that's their loss.
Also IT WILL NEVER LEAVE
The ending theme is pretty wonderful too.

K-On! 2
Unrelated to the main premise, but it's instruments get episode! Mugi's eyebrows are practically an ID, it's like a whole new character!? Which would've saved them a lot of trouble earlier.
Mio stop being a blob, I want to poke your cheeks. We're still on good terms, so I think I'll continue.
Question: Asuza or however you spell it is the second season, right?

Take some drinking water with you. These places can get hot and uncomfortable, and beverages can be hard to come by and/or expensive.

hahahaha isn't episode two a kick in the balls
episode three is good, but Re: Cutie Honey is special in that every episode has its own feel.
Mostly they just have ramune and that's just sugar water.
Or that Pocari sweat stuff.
Azusa shows up in S1 later on. She actually does things in S2 or so Ive heard. Up to episode 8 Jun and Ui are better.
