The "iron chef" event at AnimeBoston 2003 was a travesty unworthy of the name "Iron Chef." The original AMV Iron Chef event was created by Quu, and to this day the ones he runs are the only ones that function properly and are even the least bit entertaining.

Hells, I was MCing the AnimeBoston event on Friday night, and I was bored to no end.

You do realize that the "panel" was a joke at first, right??? We were only screwing around. Also, you do realize that even though we didn't plan and we still had more people than we started? I was told by several people it was their favorite panel, so screw.

ANYWAYS... we are hoping to make it a real panel next year by, you know, planning and stuff.

Also, DOkool and I are hoping to get in touch with Quu too. You know, we can't be as good as the original; it's impossible. Plus, if you didn't like it, then you shoulda left. It was not a serious panel; we were amazed that there were more than five people at the start and more than five at the end. Last I checked, we (those involved who started the panel) were all less than 22, so you can't expect expert planning or quality.

Last I heard, Quu did offer to help, but was denied. It's not a lack of interest on his part and more of a lack of interest on Anime Boston's part. I also heard there were a lot of complaints too, but I wasn't there and have just heard things, so perhaps they're wrong. I do have a tendency to believe jbone though.

I never heard a thing about Quu being asked. We (DOkool, Otakuforlife, myself) acknowledge the fact that it could have gone better (especially Sunday), but it WAS badly planned at the last minute and we didn't expect people to show up. Apparently people either loved it or hated it, no inbetweens. However, it was blantently obvious that we were clueless on how to run it. Once again, we are planning to do it next year, but with planning and (hopefully) a clue on what we are doing.

I was there at Anime Boston 2004, excellent, I was there to see the AMV contest 2 twice, it rocks. All of em were good, some better, and others very disturbing, like the YMCA one.

Hey, it was fun. At least on Friday, anyway. On Sunday, it was honesly more the audience's fault than anything, and the fact that the judges had no clue at all what the hell was going on.

Next year, however, will be planned, and it will kick ass. So, yeah, I'm assuming I'm still in on this. XD

Awesome! Brian says "Hi!" Of course you are on the panel, Alucard. Hehe. But here's the question: I'm cosplaying as Paladin Anderson, but should I dress up as Chairman Kargo? An apron with CD-Rs would be funny
