yeah, it sucks

Yeah, CN Anime sucks the big one. I had to see for myself.

It wasn't any better or worse than I was expecting, really. CN Anime is what it is. It doesn't have that frustrating, so-much-wasted-potential feeling that Anime North has. Because you pretty much go in knowing it sucks and you know the only reason you spent the $40 was to get into the dealer's room. Because that's all you needed the pass for. At least they're up front about it.

Really, it was all about this:

So I'm happy.

I hate getting autographs, but I knew I'd regret it if I didn't.

I spent way too much money at this thing. I guess I figured since I already spent $40 for the opportunity to spend money on crap, I might as well buy a whole lot of crap. Here's the list, in rough order of purchase:

A bunch of issues of the old 80s Marvel Doctor Who comic.
Count Duckula issue 1, just because.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventures DVD vol.1
Kindaichi's Case Files manga vol.1
Alien 9 manga vol.1
2 Sakura posters for Dan.
Utena DVD vol. 7 with box.
Megatokyo manga vol.1 (signed)
Broken Miho poster

Then I ran out of cash. Two trips to the bank machine for one con is quite enough.

As an opportunity to hang out with people, it was pretty much a failure. That was probably my fault. I would have stayed longer to see if there were any further hanging out opportunities, but I couldn't bring myself to sit through the masquerade. It was pretty packed, so I decided to give up my seat to somebody who (I assume) actually wanted it. I have a headache and my feet are sore. Home is a good place to be right now.

Sorry to hear that things weren't as exciting as they might have been... but it sounds like you expected that.

(Congrats on the haul... Ah, Duckula... those were the days... :-)

Anyhow, here's something kinda neat...

Jojo's is awesome. The first two volumes are the newer prequel OAVs (I hadn't seen them before). It mostly just introduces the characters and sets things up for the older series, but it still kicks serious ass. It's gotta be one of the coolest, shamelessly macho series out there. I love it.
