| 1:37am | Watching Crap Anime for the Actor | | | | There are a lot of actor fans out there who would watch every film or TV show with their favorite actor in it. That is basically the same as your average seiyuu-ota types. The difference is that in Japan they’re all into brand management and the like, and for some of these seiyuu types, they... | | |
| 4:21am | AnimeNext 2009 Dead Blogging | | | | I figured it’s not live blogging, and it’s not quite semi-live blogging, so for the want of a better word I went with that. It was definitely a con where I met with a bunch of people that I should have met face to face more often or much earlier. That’s the #1 draw. Good times. I... | | |
| 10:40am | Con Season 2009 | | | | Despite my best efforts, con season gets the best of me yet again. What’s special this year is that I’ll be more broke than ever, gone to more places than ever, and probably have the least amount of time blogging than ever. It is fun and frustrating, but hopefully it will also add to some... | | |
| 4:08am | The Terai-Dobashi Reversal, Or the Ayumi Axiom | | | | Hatsukoi Limited is like a suite of thought experiments. Let’s look at Dobashi’s one-shot. [img src] I picked this one out of the mixes of relationships from Hatsukoi Limited because of the contrast between the manga and the anime rendition. At this point, it might be safe to say that the... |
| 7:49pm | Space Bio DUH or the Greatest Journey I’ll (Probably) Never Make | | | | I like anime music. I like Yoko Kanno’s anime music, very much so. I read Mai’s very excellent Kanno blog regularly. So why did my mind “click” just only now? Let me elaborates some. I like live music a lot–thanks to my proximity to one of the best music scenes in the world,... |
| 5:19am | The Blogging Panel @ AnimeNext 2009 | | | | I’m running a panel along with Super Rats, Moy, and SDS at AnimeNext this year. The date for the con is June 12-14. The panel is currently slated for 2pm on Sunday, but that is subject to change. I’ll try to note it on the blog if that becomes the case. AnimeNext is this anime convention... |
| 2:45am | When Aniplex Attacks | | | | Just trying to sum up thoughts about Japanese anime producers, marketing in the US market, via the lens of Anime Boston 2009 Con-based marketing blitz is something of an enjoyable mystery to me. When people talk about bringing over Japanese guests at anime conventions, often times someone will mention... |
| 1:34am | New Anime Song Tie-Ins from Abroad | | | | Anison or anisong? Anyways– So it’s a spur-of-the-moment question, but what are some new acts in Japan that are western transplants? What kind of a list I can come up with just through westerners who consequently moved to Japan and got signed up by a label there? For the sake of simplicity... | | |
| 3:37am | An Otome-kei Nitpick towards Purity in Yuri | | | | Traditionally yuri manga and anime are made for girls (generally, I guess, teenagers/young adults). Is this how Americans consume yuri manga and anime? I guess it’s also a bit of a misnomer, being a marketing term nowadays. This question popped into my head while reading Voiceful, an almost-one-shot... | | |
| 5:47am | Anime Boston 2009 Wrap | | | | Keeping this one simple. So I can spend more time cropping and uploading pics, more time sleeping, and less on writing. I also added title pics from, lol, my phone cam, to the old Anime Boston posts:Day 0Kalafina focus panelDay 1VGO / Kalafina concertDay 2Day 3 / Kara no Kyoukai focus panel Wow,... |
| 11:50pm | Anime Boston 2009 Day 2 | | | | Day 2 was the big Saturday or whatever. As a note on con attendance pattern, one thing that I thought which sets two types of con goers apart are those “casual” goers and those who are much more serious, like new-con buddy Jabel who flew up from FL, is which and how many days they’re... |
| 11:12pm | Kara no Kyoukai, Anime Boston 2009 Day 3 | | | | I’m just going to throw stuff in here for brevity’s sake. This is going to be a TL;DR post Also, I updated the Kajiura concert report based on a real fan’s low-down. I confess–I am not a Kalafina fan even if I do like their music! It’s probably not a good excuse though,... |
| 1:48am | Kalafina Anime Boston Live | | | | Free wifi is the one single tool that marketing companies should offer to fan bloggers and the like if they want like, hyped words from the fatigued wireless army of today’s convention fandom. Not kidding. That is if they all had 10″ laptops with massive battery life, that is \o/ Kalafina’s... |
| 7:08pm | Anime Boston 2009 Day 1 | | | | [This post was published about 5 hours after the fact :3] Just wasting away at Chris B’s panel. It’s definitely THE state of the industry panel to be in! Anyways– Woke up at 5 am. Jabel and I are damn troopers I tell ya. Got registered pretty quickly, and had some time for breakfast!... |
| 5:48pm | Kalafina Live Blog @ Anime Boston - SUPER Rough Version | | | | God bless free wi-fi. And no, this post does not auto-refresh so hit that refresh button every now and then for STUFFS [1:43] I’m in a line of sorts, snipping away at the odd cosplay here and there. The panel actually starts at 2pm EDT (5/21/09) so uh, come back later. And since I don’t... |
