AMV Salad 4: TV Dinner (next stop - Nekocon)

[moonbunnychan]

Lets just hope they don't randomly move us in with the other new stuff Friday. From what I can gather, schedule stuff right now is kinda fubar. I feel sorry for the Friday block because...I mean...no matter what kind of parody it is I'm sure they worked hard on it, and it's not really fair. I agree that parodies really are a late night thing, I don't think I'd want to start my Otakon with it.

[Gaelstrom]

Yeah. Let's just hope that the schedule being FUBAR is actually a good thing considering that means it's not set in stone, as I'm sure there are people there who recognize that the timing is important for the fanparodies and are fighting to get it changed. I'm not sure who is making this decision, but it's rather nerve-wracking. A friend of mine made a suggestion when I mentioned this to him. Since apparently Otakon is showing more big-screen stuff, there's a possibility that it could be under more scrutiny to cover a wider audience due to the place being turned into a sort of marketting ploy with the bigger titles to up sales or something. It was just a theory, but it did make me nervous that Otakon would become like Anime Expo. I went there once and it felt like the cosplayers and guests were the ones who were hijacking a business convention rather than the other way around. People were even kept out of panels because it was industry only. I sincerely hope Otakon never becomes that. Ever. It's one key reason it trounces Anime Expo is because it exists as a celebration of Anime and Japanese Culture with elements of localization, not the other way around.

You should go over to the Otakon Contest thread, that's pretty much exactly what everybody is saying and even the other staff people are pretty pissed.

[Gaelstrom]

Oh god... where is the thread located? Would you be able to link me to it?

Also, again, has dinner together just fallen through everybody?

The last few pages are about the scheduling.

Hehe, the family guy episode was on tonight which the Death Note clip sources and for a split second I was like "Why is AMVS4 playing!? ...oh." I found myself picturing the clip instead when I walked into the kitchen ^^ Epic win.

The same kind of thing happened the other day. I had just come into the house and heard...
"Voice authorization required."
"Uhhhhh..."
"Accepted."
...from Wall-e.
I had to go into the room to make sure they weren't watching AMVS3.
Weird.

HAHAH. I went out onto the couch because my fiancé rolled over on me in his sleep while I was in the middle of listening to a sleep hypnosis track on my iPod.... O_o so I went out to watch TV and that episode started right when I came out. I started imagining the rest of the episode with the DN characters.... it was kind of hilarious.

BRIAN, WHERE ARE THE GRAHAM CRACKERS

[Gaelstrom]

Heh, last night's episode where they make the club for men gave me another idea. Not sure who it would fit with just yet, but just when Joe loses it with "...this is stupid, I wanna TALK ABOUT VAGINAS!!" My first impression was that captain from Bleach with the bells coming off his hair Then I figured it'd be even more amusing with Ishida (think that was his name, been a while since I watched bleach). Sooo many choices for that one ^^

Just wanted to post here in case anyone missed it, dinner thread just finalized its time and place, apparently 8 PM Thursday at 5 Guys.
