15 DAYS UNTIL KUMORICON 2011!!!

A part of me wishes that is would be 15 weeks instead...

Sounds good to me. I know in the past, actually, there has been a Forum Meet-Up panel at Kumoricon, though I haven't heard anything about one for this year yet, so I don't know if it's happening. Regardless, it would be great to meet everyone.

It looks like there isn't this year. It might be possible to talk to the Director of Programming and seeing if there can be a way to quickly pencil in a small panel like this in the morning (it looks like that'd be the best bet, if she were to say yes, that is).

Cannot wait! If you notice my avatar, I finally got a picture of me cosplaying Canada. I still have to work on styling the wig and might make Kumajirou a tad bigger. (I ordered a 12 inch plushie and this one is like 6 inchs...)

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #104 on:** August 19, 2011, 04:37:05 pm »

...has anybody else noticed that there's a Kumoricon countdown at the bottom of the forums' pages?

14 days, 15:22:55

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #105 on:** August 19, 2011, 05:30:22 pm »

I did notice that the other day. Nicely convenient, even if our countdown is technically a day off, lol

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #106 on:** August 19, 2011, 06:11:22 pm »

I knew there was on the the main page but I never saw that one before

So? This way is more fun. ^.^

Randonarnold · « **Reply #108 on:** August 19, 2011, 10:34:24 pm »

13 days and 9 hours until day zero! Cannot wait! I was worried that things wouldn't work out, but they seem like they will. So all is good

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #109 on:** August 19, 2011, 10:50:51 pm »

THAT COUNTDOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FORUMS IS SERIOUSLY FREAKING ME OUT. PANIC!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #110 on:** August 20, 2011, 12:19:40 am »

14 days until Kumoricon!

Randonarnold · « **Reply #111 on:** August 20, 2011, 12:24:18 am »

Anyone here watching any last minute animes before the convention? I started Gurren Lagann and I plan to finish it before the con. I also want to watch more of The World God Only Knows. (I'm on about episode 5, very funny and enjoyable anime) I cannot wait for the con! (I would say start it now, but I still got to earn some money for food and the dealer's hall/artist alley)

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #112 on:** August 20, 2011, 01:14:41 am »

I'm trying to finish Durarara!! as fast as I can. I doubt I'll be done by the con, since I'm only on episode 6 and I'm gonna be out of town for the week leading up to the con, but I want to get as far as possible. That and trying to read as much Homestuck as possible because I want to be able to talk to all the cool cosplayers without looking like an ignoramus.

Gah, 14 days and still so much to doooo. Where did all my motivation go?!

Randonarnold · « **Reply #113 on:** August 20, 2011, 01:34:32 am »

I finished Durarara!! a few weeks ago, very good series. I enjoyed it a lot, Izaya has to be my favorite character.

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #114 on:** August 20, 2011, 01:41:07 am »

Yeah, I'm liking it a lot. Think I may see if I can buy it at KCon, it feels like something I'm going to want to rewatch. I like the kids, Kida Mikado and Anri, so far.

That countdown is mocking me...should be sewing, but instead I'm eating cereal and watching AMVs at 1:40 in the morning.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #115 on:** August 20, 2011, 06:03:37 am »

So soon!!! *runs in a circle until falling over*

I've been watching a lot of anime, too. I'm going to be cranking it to overload the next two weeks though. Next week my wife and I will be having a Miyazaki-thon (or more appropriately, Ghibli-thon), and watching as many Ghibli films as we can get our hands on.

We've also been watching Eden of the East, which I absolutely love. A very enthralling plot and likeable characters. Nice animation, too.

Finished The Sacred Blacksmith before this. Didn't really care for it. Thought it was pretty generic and forgettable.

Aiming to watch as much as possible in the next two weeks. I've got a ton of stuff lined up in Netflix, and also have a lot I'm meaning to rewatch (Le Chevalier D'Eon, Azumanga Daioh, Akira, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Ninja Nonsense, Utawarerumono). That's a lot, so we'll see if it actually happens, heh.

Randonarnold · « **Reply #116 on:** August 20, 2011, 09:03:02 am »

Eden Of The East is one of my favorites, I heard about it at last year's Kumoricon at Funimation's sneak peak panel. I own the first movie, and the second movie should be coming in the mail any week now. (comes out on the 23rd)

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #117 on:** August 20, 2011, 09:13:11 am »

Cool. Yeah, I'm watching through the series, and I've got the first movie in the queue to watch after that. Good stuff.

Randonarnold · « **Reply #118 on:** August 20, 2011, 09:14:07 am »

even though I've already seen the second movie with subs..... (I couldn't wait

)

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #119 on:** August 20, 2011, 09:25:12 am »

Eh, waiting is overrated, lol. (Crunchyroll taught me that...^_^)

Randonarnold · « **Reply #120 on:** August 20, 2011, 09:28:26 am »

I love Crunchyroll! It's what I watched Durarara!! on, and I'm also watching The World God Only Knows (and soon Blue Exorcist) on it. 720P, that's all I'm saying.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #121 on:** August 20, 2011, 09:47:55 am »

Yeah, I stream it through my PS3, and it's as good as watching a dvd. The quality is so clear, I'd have never guessed I was streaming from a website.

Speaking of Crunchyroll, have you watched Deadman Wonderland? That was my last addiction. Still need to finish the last episode, actually. But it was my favorite thing on CR.

I don't think it's that we're a day off, necessarily. Keep in mind, that it also has the countdown down to the second, where as we're going off days only. Right now, as I type, it says "13 days, 21:41:20." It just means about 2 hours & 20 minutes ago, it was exactly 14 days ago.

TheArtNinja · « **Reply #123 on:** August 20, 2011, 01:23:02 pm »

13 DAYS!!!

Im not watching any last minute animes, but i am trying to finish birth by sleep on pro mode as ventus by day 0.

No, never have watched it. But I heard about it. I'll put it on my list of anime to look into. (it's a long list...)

Anyone else besides me that refreshed the kumoricon website like 30 times a day hoping for news?

maydrock · « **Reply #129 on:** August 20, 2011, 10:04:54 pm »

no i do it 60 times an hour

jam112383 · « **Reply #130 on:** August 20, 2011, 10:17:18 pm »

It has been confirmed the schedule will be up this week if that helps

but I also refresh it quite often and check it on breaks and stuff at work

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #131 on:** August 20, 2011, 10:28:20 pm »

Nope, heh. Been too busy at work all day to check the website. And with two weeks to go, I wasn't expecting the schedule for at least another week, realistically. Of course, the sooner the better, though.

I might be stupid, but this week as in this past week? (august 15th-21th?) or next week? (august 22th-august 28th?)

i know! try finding two wigs in 12 days for a decent price as I am at the end of my con budget

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #137 on:** August 21, 2011, 12:10:54 am »

I'm practically passed my budget! No job and all my graduation money out the window. woooooosh. I'm so dragging my mom around town tomorrow so i can find some stuff that i still need. Hopefully people have put their halloween stuff out. i know the goodwill near my house has.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #138 on:** August 21, 2011, 01:52:02 am »

My costume are just about done and I am starting to pack 8D

Randonarnold · « **Reply #139 on:** August 21, 2011, 02:04:29 am »

I'm trying to sell some stuff on craigslist and get some jobs from friends and family for I can have money for food and spending. (I want to get a good manga/anime library going and a con is the best place to get both, correct?) My dad might give me some money, but we're not sure. So I'm just trying to secure things, but things will work out and I'll have an awesome time! Anyone here going to the pre-party on day zero for all ages? (at pop culture) If so, we should organize a forum meet-up.

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #140 on:** August 21, 2011, 02:08:16 am »

We should do a forum meet-up, that'd be cool. I'll probably go, I don't have anything really planned for Day 0. When is the party?

jam112383 · « **Reply #141 on:** August 21, 2011, 07:19:05 am »

yeah there's two pre-parties. Once in downtown Portland that's 21+, and one in Vancouver, WA that's all ages. (one I'll be going to)

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #146 on:** August 21, 2011, 06:58:40 pm »

I hope to go, as well, so that I can get one of their hot dogs. I don't remember what it's called, but it has BBQ sauce & lots of bleu cheese!
