I work in downtown LA. I don't know how you people are walking around in full costumes with this heat but have fun.

If you managed to get in via the autograph line or the exhibit hall line you don't go through any bag checks btw. Our maybe you can get lucky; I went through two bag checks and nobody cared that I brought chips and drinks.
Managed to get the FSN staff autographs! Now my day is made.

Yea I asked a few people that went through bag check and they said they went though fine. So idk. Maybe some people got one of those "try hard" guards.

The 'H' stands for hentai.

HOLY CRAP, it is like Game of Thrones before game of thrones existed. Easily one if the greatest anime ever made (Which SHOULD get a remake)
Holy shit. I talked to a publisher about this before and he said the costs were incredibly sky high, wonder if things changed.
*Somehow I feel maybe it was because Sentai was cheap and the TL won't be very good, help im crumbling
It is! It's pretty exciting. I wonder how they'll release it? As far as I know, the Japanese BDs are upscaled except for the movies.

This calculation probably included dubbing, which this release most likely will not include.

Day 1 done.
Got into none of the panels I was aiming for though. That line for the Bamco panel was crazy line. Should have just said it was filled if they saw it was that long, geez
Bought way too much stuff from koei tecmo, mangagamer, gsc and other places lol
So tired now though

He specifically mentioned rights alone, without talking about dubbing.
Security checked my bag and saw my gatorade, he just told me "I'm suppose to take away your drink but I'll pretend I didn't see it" and lets me through. Good smiles company booth was insane, line went all the way to the back. Pretty packed for day 1, tomorrow and Saturday will be crowded for sure.

Saturday will be insane. I was surprised by how much more crowded it was this year in the exhibit hall for Thursday than it was last year. Hell I needed to get in line to get into the Kinokuniya booth and I've never had to do that in any previous year.
The bad today though was waiting 3+ hours in the ticket line for the FSN panel on Saturday. I'm just thankful they had canopy tents set up.

Some of the lines for booths were crazy
Sure GSC would always have one
And I assume everyone wants the P5 bag, that the line for Atlus actually closed like in mid afternoon
Yeah, I thought it was crazy Kino had a long line too
Somehow managed to get through the GSC line in less than 10 minutes this morning. Atlus took 30 or so. Just got done walking the entire expo hall, my feet are killing me. Gonna have to take the loot back to the hotel soon to be ready to line up for LWA2. Then it's dinner before our panel tonight. Busy ass day.

Hey! It was nice meeting you too!
Also met another gaffer during the Aksys panel (not feep), but completely forgot the name during the ZE3 frenzy. Shout out to you too!

I just got an autograph from Uchikoshi. This week has been fantastic.
This would explain why it was capped 30 minutes beforehand... Fuck.In line for LWA2. Apparently they aren't going to clear out the people at the panel before us (the Funimation panel). I feel like I won't get in despite waiting two hours.
The room seemed completely full. I wouldn't be surprised if people in line didn't get in either...
We were planning on going to Funimation and then not leave, but the guide said they'd clear the hall for "special events" which I guess I assumed the movie would be. I'm pretty sad I didn't get to go. It was the one thing I wanted to go to the most.

I'm jelly.
At one point the panelist mentioned the Gundam fighting game. I am the lone, deep voiced person that cheered.
I didn't plan on going to that localization panel previously, but now I am...
So according to my Galaxy S4 I walked 22,129 steps today for 11.4 miles my feet are killing me and my back creaks when I get up off this bed now gonna watch jimmy kimmel then sleeping hopefully. I was not very smart that at 9 pm I walked 2.4 miles from convention center to my hotel just to save the 20 or 30 parking fee. As I left for the con I saw two guys going so I asked for a ride they were cool
I was going to stay at con until like midnight or 1:30 am but around 9:15 the panel ladies guide to hentai was full when I got the end of the line 218 people in line for a 250 person max then this guy saw I did not have the 18+ tag on my wrist so I just called it a night walked back man walking back was so painful #complete regret on that idea after the ladies hentai panel funimation was gonna do their each jiggly panel and then some other hentai panel then the ghost in the Shell 3 episodes which I haven't seen so that woulda been cool but way to late in night glad I bailed and trekked back to hotel.
Just not sure where to watch fireworks to or row night or skip thme and do more panels
Oh yeah that NIS America game panel was terrible mistake going to that

Second day in a row I didnt get into any of the panels I wanted. Seems silly all the ones are in the smallest rooms possible.
Hopefully I'll get in Danganronpa's tomorrow.
At least I managed to get my copy of Another Episode signed.

Our panel went pretty well, I'm so glad it's over, though. Just got back to the hotel and had a drink, now it's time for sleep so I can be up and ready for the Inafune panel tomorrow. I'll be wearing a really dumb shirt.

Crap! I didn't realize the actual LWA2 thing I wanted to go to was yesterday, and the one I'm in right now is a Q&A panel. I guess I'll look around elsewhere and get ready for the DBZ panel later.
Doesn't look like much is happening tomorrow so I'll spend most of the day at the exhibit hall.

My wife and I are repping our Animal Crossing love by doing Reese and Cyrus cosplay today. If you see us tell us you're from GAF and say hi!

Not even an hour before the DBZ panel, and the line is already capped.
I'm currently in a 'standby' line, and a few people there and the main line are leaving for some reason or other. So I among others still have a bit of a chance.
EDIT: Holy crap! There are more than enough seats, but it looks like they're filling fast. Glad I got in.

People are camping because AX isn't clearing people out of room. If you want to see a panel arrive an hour early and sit in and wait.
