i went to a couple animazements several years ago, they usually have a pretty epic rave on saturday night. nothing like going insane on the dance flo to some infected mushroom while shwasted. this was when they did it at the sheraton in durham though.

the only downside is the overload of nerds who don't seem to know what deodorant is.

5/27/2011 1:34:23 PM

I kind of wonder what the Gyarados will look like all put together.

5/27/2011 1:36:00 PM

I second the raves. I have two friends that came into town just so they could go and find out where the rave is. One of my friends last year fucked a girl dressed as Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII

it's pretty hard to find people less cool than the ones that attend these events

5/27/2011 3:30:18 PM

LOL you call those raves "epic" ???

Both my roommates are there.

I loathe them.

Not that I have anything against anime.

But my one roommate is a major fucking weeaboo, and I can't stand it.

i don't have a problem with anime

the best japanese animated content is really great

i do have a problem with people who think that it's better than the best western animated content simply because it's japanese

5/27/2011 9:28:26 PM

yeah thats basically what i mean.

5/27/2011 9:29:16 PM

^^ It was fun dealing with people like that in J-pan.

5/27/2011 9:31:57 PM

at least in japan you've got the ethnocentrism/nationalism angle

this is just smelly white kids who don't know shit about shit

5/27/2011 9:44:05 PM

No, in J-pan, it was alot of smelly white kids who didn't know shit.

5/27/2011 9:49:49 PM

"Weeaboo (a.k.a Wapanese) is an English slang used to describe a person (typically of non-Asian descent) who prefers Japan and all things in Japanese over one’s indigenous culture. The term is a successive mutation of “Wapanese,” a derogatory slur referring to western Japanophiles with a strong bias towards Japanese cultural and tech imports."

To the Japanese it doesn't, the characters just look like the Default Human Being and they have their own stereotypical depiction for whitey: http://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2010/08/30/guest-post-why-do-the-japanese-draw-themselves-as-white/

5/28/2014 2:26:27 AM

So is it just a general convention of fandoms now? Because anime is not that good right now to justify that many people.

5/28/2014 8:13:54 AM

its probably drawing in scifi as well.

but i think anime is its main goal still

5/28/2014 8:14:55 AM

There isn't a lot of local competition either. Lot's of people just go for the excuse to party for a few days straight. (*I haven't been in a few years, but I assume that it hasn't changed much)

5/28/2014 8:17:13 AM

DA faq. Sword art online and attack on titan are baller... Blue Exorsist is pretty good too.

5/28/2014 8:32:11 AM
