I swear there was another thread like this, but for revival sake, yes I am.

 

[TorLin]

this post should be mosted in the Entertainment section, not the Geek Section lol

 

[kenny87]

well anime can be considered a "geek" hobby so it could go either way.

 

[lineal]

[Akane]

Headed to anime central next weekend.

 

[solitarymonkey]

dependant on my depression level, i'm definately an anime fan!! my dvd collection grows quicker than i can watch it!!

 

[Hot Chocolate]

ME!!! Name any, I could have already watch it.

Especially horror/shounen genres.

 

[liliaceae]

I got into it in 7th grade as a method of escapism. lol depressing.

But I love it still. Especially shoujo romances.

:yay another anime thread! Fellow otaku here

Anyone headed to Otakon in July?

 

[Akane]

I might be at Otakon. I was invited by someone who helps run it but I haven't given him an answer.

 

[IcoRules]

I watch some. I'm pretty picky about what I watch.

Cool. Ever been there before?

 

[Akane]

Never been to any anime con but in about 30mins I'm going to be on my way to a crash course on it. If I don't return....

 

[kenny87]

I have thought about going to one, but there isin't any within reasonable distance in kentucky and I have heard they are just no fun alone, which is the only way I see myself at one.

 

[SoloSage]

I'm a fan, but have only been watching for 1 year. So far I've seen Ergo Proxy, Elfen Lied, Serial Experiments Lain, +- 200 eps of bleach (waste of time compared to other anime's, imo), Samurai Champloo, Neon Genisis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop (my favorite so far) and the entire dragon ball/dragon dragon ball z/ dragon ball gt sagas. Yes, I watch way, way too much.

 

[yellowpaper]

No. Kind of interested in getting into it... kind of. I watch some randomly.

But I do agree that the anime topic fits the Geek Central forum.

 

[joggle]

I am, but I'm fairly picky. I actually prefer manga since there's a bit more variety. I especially like shounen; action and gun totin' makes it all the better.

 

[Akane]

Well I have returned. We actually didn't see that much of the convention. We ended up both sick the 2nd day and spent it watching tv until evening where we wandered across chicago getting lost trying to find a pharmacy open 24/7 just to get some cough drops. That was fun though. Then there was little left going on when we finally did feel better and all the rooms playing anime and hentai were so packed they had lines going out the door plus the rave had a block long line outside to get into it. Not that we really wanted to go anyway but we accidentally wandered that way and got told to get in line outside.

Turns out otakon is over a family reunion so I probably can't go.

An anime convention could be fun going by yourself depending on the person. Depends how much you like sitting at panels listening to them talk about different animes and japan. There were also plenty of people there that only knew each other from past years at the convention and the people we were sharing a hotel room with generally went off on their own to see whatever interested them. Sure the large groups probably have more fun in some ways.. they were at least much louder... but it seemed like there were lots of people running around by themselves or meeting up with people they'd only met the last time they were there.
