Anime Boston 2008. The Good, The Awesome, THE FUCKEN WIN!
This weekend was the annual Anime Boston and my god was it epic. I'll do a quick run down of all three days and what I've been doing in the most none-detailed description I can!
Day 1: Alright. On the first day I did not do much. Bought two wallscrolls and ended up leaving quite early. The only thing I went to was the Opening Ceremony, which was actually pretty good.
Day 2: This is where the fun actually starts. Started the day with the 2nd viewing of the AMV Contest from the previous night. The AMVs this year were epic to no extent. All of them were really well made and I was just blown away by what people have pulled out of their asses for the past few months. The AMVs overall were a lot better than the batch last year. Went back to dealers to pick up some manga. Then we got in line for the pillows concert. The line was pretty damn long, but it was the freaking pillows. I couldn't expect anything less from the crowd. We got pretty crappy seats, but it was alright cause while waiting for the concert to start we got a sneak peak at the talented Monty Oum's Dead Fantasy 2, also accompanied by the first Dead Fantasy. I'll say this. It. Was. Epic. The whole damn thing was so godly and awesome. It was one of those videos that can't be described. The preshow stuff is always good (especially this year). The concert started with Luv and Response, which were pretty good in my opinion. Then we got the pillows. Its been awhile since I've listened to their stuff, but god the bass in the room were awesome. We ended up leaving mid-concert, which sucks, but I'm satisfied. After that we waited for the Masquerade. Line was epic and we were moved to the balcony for epic seating. Saw great skits and also got to see the winners of the AMV contest. Day ends.
Day 3: Got down and went straight for the dealer's (when it opened). Picked myself up some more manga (two volumes to be exact), a Haruhi figure which was god damn expensive and a Gundam kit (cause my con experience would not be complete without me getting one). Went to cosplay chess, which lasted a little longer than I expected, but was great. The inside jokes kept coming. Preshow was still stupid-funny. Overall, the con was great.
Reasons why it was epic: 1. The Game. (yeah thats right, you just lost it!) 2. Mudkips... I herd u liek themz 3. Marco. . . <.< *silence* 4. I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, etc. etc. etc. 5. NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP! NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN! etc. etc. (thats right Rick-Roll) 6. BASS!!! SO MUCH OF IT!!!!!!!!! 7. Ninjas and Shinigamis and Death Note, Oh My. (no but seriously. . . it has to stop) 8. Still Alive. Cake. Lies. and more awesome. 9. (EDIT!!!) One more thing. CARAMELLDANSEN!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH

EDIT: This is probably a "beta" of Monty Oum's "Dead Fantasy 2". This video is freakin' epic!
