DBSuper Panel, Zelda Announcements, & Cosplay for Days!! (AX2017, Day 2 & 3)

This whole experience has been mind blowing. I write today as Chronic and I camp the hall which is to hold the DBSuper Panel in three hours. The hall doesn't clear, and based on the number of Dragon Ball shirts I see in this crowd, I'm pretty sure many others are camping, too. In the …

Cosplay, Lines, and YURI ON ICE PANEL (AX2017, Day 1)

Dear Diary (No, I'm kidding.), I begin today as Chronic and I sit in line for the Yuri on Ice Creator's Panel. Luckily, we have hope of getting in; we've been here for about fourty minutes now, and (OH EM GEE, I JUST SAW MINAMI-KUN.) the panel with both co-creators is to begin at 4:00 …

A Proud Display of Cosplay (AX2017 Pre-Show, Day 0)

Good morning, everyone!! Yesterday was a roller coaster and we managed to stay awake for nearly 24 hours when you consider the time change!! (Rapidly approaching the longest I've ever stayed awake!) I was so tired I was unsteady on my feet, but we got back to the hotel just fine after my turn at …

One of our presumed conference compatriots (not Chronic, but rather "he-who-as-of-yet-must-not-be-named") won a bad concussion …

I should probably watch Haikyuu… — a “Shoujo Thoughts: Otaku Ramblings” podcast (6)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGy62UH6izQ For some reason, my breath is being picked up by the mic. It gets better as the podcast goes on, but I'm going to have to figure out how to rectify this issue. Immediately. I haven't changed anything about my mic positioning or recording process, so maybe I need to invest in a new …

Shoujo goes Conference Crazy! (Anime Expo 2017)

I suppose I should begin by saying that I bought the tickets. Well, we bought the tickets, but I booked our hotel accommodations with my AAA discount, and now it's up to [SCREEN NAME TBD--He's deciding as he'll be mentioned quite a bit!] to book our two-way flight. Yes, my dear anime compatriots, we're going. …
