Atlanta Anime Day
Any other Atlanta area editors going to bother tomorrow? It looks likes its going to be a swap-meet dealers' room with some naruto cosplay. None the less I'll give it try since it's just up the street. I still have some freebe tix for anyone who wants to meet up before hand. We're also planning a lunch meet up.

Re: Atlanta Anime Day

Re: Atlanta Anime Day
Yeah, I was bored to death.
It was a dealer's room the size of my apartment... literally. If that was 2000 sq/ft I'm the Czar of Poland. AWA was representing
and thank god weren't sold out like momo's faggotry. There were No DVDs, only used manga, the rest was all needless trinkets and the usual combo of cheap-imitation weapons, virgins and American comic books. I've seen more anime related paraphernalia at the buford highway flea market. We waited in line 15-20 minutes, bought nothing, and after 30 minutes in (less than an hour after it started) driven out by the wreak. It was a scaled down version of DragonCon minus the cost.
My final thoughts: Another decent anime convention in Atlanta wouldn't be unwelcomed at all... but thus far everything pales. Period. No need for comparison.
