TAF:買えるともらえるもの

Seems like dakimakura is always the high point of the anime events like this and Comic Market.  What a wonderful world?!

There is only one event that I know, nay, heard about, but I found out about it after it ended. It was held at the Neal Blaisdell center, so can't comment on the quality.

Wow, looks like a whole lot of fun there ^^.  I saw a lot of stuff I would buy, lmao.  And yes I have attended somewhat of an anime event before, Comic-con in San Diego.  I've attended there for maybe 5 years in a row now.  This year I'll be going there for 2 days and this year I will also be going to Anime Expo in LA.  This is my first time at AX and I'm only going 1 day this year but... should still be fun :p.  I'm hoping to find some of the things you post about there, maybe I'll buy my first figure there xD lmao.

I got the same load of bags and flyers ;p Just missed one bag though,that I wanted. There are two with Gurren Lagann on it, one with the whole group, and one with just the main character. Missed that last one ;(

And no, they weren't handing out drinks, not that I've seen. I think they would be out of drinks very quickly with all those people.

I now have only one problem, getting these bags into my suitcase, cause there's this one bag from Soul Eater that is bigger than the others. It will be a puzzle... (with all the other manga and merchandise I have to get in there...)

*Boohoo, sob, cry*. Soo many FREE goodies to get, man T0T, I really need to get to Japan at the time of a show like this. I want to suddenly acquire stuff

Any anime events over here, you ask? I've never even seen the word 'anime' uttered in any kind of media, much less an event and certainly not as large as this. I believe there are things in Germany sometimes, but I have no idea of the scope and scale of that...

And all that free stuff, jeez.. but i recall back the years when i was into the scene a friend in tokyo did send me a bunch of stuff too... enough flyers to plaster a wall in my house - didn't look bad (better then a boring white).

Hmm i didn't attend any conventions for a while, german anime conventions tend to be rather boring and not filled with information as the japanese ones. Though they have had some mangakas and interesting special guests, those would be the only thing i would be interested in but then... geting a hotel and all that just to see someone i could see when i go to japan too? nah... rather save the cash for the japan travel. :)

We've got Anime Central coming to Chicago, in a month and a half, which is pretty much the only con I can afford every year.  And is usually what takes the most prep time for me, either designing a new costume (Nothing this year :( ) or prepping my old ones (Gotta still make 100 soap tokens for the No Face costume).  And hopefully, I'll get the request to work with Funimation again this year, working thier booth in the dealer's room.

As for anime events held in the country we're in, sadly Singapore doesn't really have a major one, maybe the annual event held at Expo in Dec if you would consider it. So far for a big event, the last comiket would be considered my maiden trip. Too bad there's no anime events held in Tokyo during the June period (I'm going in early June!!).

Hmm, CLANNAD pillow and School Days merchandise. Me do want.

In my country, there's one called "Hataw Hanep Hero" by ABS-CBN. But unlike the other anime conventions, it seems that a portion of it is for marketing of their so-called "merchandise", which is not needed for an anime convention. And it seems that they cater it for everyone (no anime NSFW merchandises). But still I attend it just for fun.

In late June there is a big anime convention at GVSU (Grand Valley State Unvercity. It is hosted by the anime clubs of other colleges too.

It is called the inconvetional convetion because there is no entry fee. The vendor like that because people will spend a little bit more at there stands.

I am planning on spending at least $300 in merchandise.

Here in Brasil the most famous events are placed in Sao Paulo dc. They are Anime Con and Anime Friends(that i know), there are a lot of stands of games and anime. the most part are stands of specializer shops of imported anime and manga etc. Too expensive to buy figures here.. the only advantage are the dvds shops to search "that" anime what are you looking for. I like the events but they are 3 hours of distance + traffic + queue of me. Very difficult to go every year but i try get oportunits to come out. ^^

The biggest one that I know of in the US is Anime Expo. I went last year, had alot of fun. Its big enough to get companys like Bandai, Funimation to show up and have huge booths. In '06 Clamp came and in 07 the big event was the SOS invasion tour. Waited in line for 4 hours in the California sun in the middle of the summer to see it. Aya hirano and the other voice actors from both the japanese versions and english versions came. Aya sang all her songs from the anime, that was more than worth the long wait in the burning sun. Yuki's voice actress also sang some of her songs. Great times, I'm going back with my friends for all 4 days.

Why are pillows and pillow covers always so much money? I always see a big deal about DAI MAKURA KABAA! and like, they're always crazy amounts of money. I just happened to notice the picture of the mini makuras that you said were normally 2700 yen and were less at the show. The oppai mousepads also seem expensive, the cheapest I've ever seen one of those for was 4000 yen, and it was from Doki Doki Majo Shinpan. Conversely, I have a body pillow cover from Fortune Arterial and it came with a magazine I paid like 1500 yen for, heh.

There are a few yearly anime conventions of varying sizes in the UK - they are mostly fan run however and although we like to involve the trade, it's not the main reason why they happen - cosplay and party events are the thing. Also we prefer to keep them small - apart from being more friendly and easily manageable this way, there are very few venues in this country that can accomodate more than a thousand people for a convention!

Anime North, but I never got the courage/time to go. They charge 50 bucks admission I believe. If one day I do decide to go, I want to cosplay as a cradboard box robot with "I love Jesus" bumper stickers all over :).

I recently went to my first anime convention, which was Fanime 2008 in San Jose, CA. It was fun due to the fact that everyone was really nice and allowed me to take multiple pictures of them. I bought a nikon d40x exclusively for that show and was trying out some of the different settings. Did anyone else goto Fanime?

I also went to my first convention this summer, Anime Expo in LA.  I think  AX is the biggest anime convention in the country.  If not, it's certainly one of the top five. Over forty thousand people attended! It was awesome.  They ran anime on four different screens for 24 hours a day the whole convention, and also had a 24 hour arcade. Additionally, they had workshops on all kinds of stuff ranging from photoshop coloring to resin kits to traditional Japanese dance, and several guests held panels.  I could only make it to the panel held by Mega 64, but those guys are so awesome I can't complain.  There's even a dedicated section of the exhibit hall where artists will sell prints and on-site commissions. And there were cosplayers EVERYWHERE.  Seriously. Even in stores and restaurants as much as three blocks away from the convention center, you could hardly turn around without finding one.  

I loved it so much that I'm already planning for AX 09. =P Any surprises there?

Just when I want to, I can't find that a recent post of yours about your childhood. In any case, Danny, I think that was one of the deepest pieces of blog writing (combined with the pics etc) I've read in a while. Past, present, compassion. You've got some wisdom to share. I also really identified with the 70s Buck Rodgers (and have a Corgi Starfighter to prove it!). Undermarketed by a longshot, I recall Erin Grey being a very early TV crush (w/ Morgan Fairchild in close 2nd). Twiki was a force unto himself, voiced by Mel Blanc if Im correct. Kudos to you.

Here, there isn't a single anime event. In other provinces there are though.

not a lot of anime conventions here, merely toyshops organizing "convention" to sell their merchandise. Some, like "Hataw Hanep Hero", give a little more effort to be more than just a toy flea market.

I would never do that to my Shita Jiki ;x 
Shita Jiki was popular because it's one of the first few merchandise you can get in the early days before wallscroll became popular.  I still have some of my earliest collection of Shita Jiki and they almost date back 20 years!

Quite a few conventions in Sydney. Animania, Mini Animania, Smash! and Supanova which is more of a sci-fi confention but has quite a lot of anime stuff. Mini Animania is coming up next week. There isnt anything as nice as the stuff you've posted though. I mainly go to see the cosplayers.
