Hi everyone,
I agree with Yoshi having the civic half-way did add to the poor sound quality, and that was because people absorb sound. The less people the less absorption happens. What happened was cause it was not packed the low end frequency expanded creating a muddy sound to all those fan sitting in the back. It was not bad but it was not good either. If we would've had AnCafe play in the J room with the same amount of people that were in the civic, it would've been considered packed. But you have to take account of the popularity of the band, one could never know how many people are going to show up, are people going to try to rush back stage. I do believe that having all the security did not give the fanime vibe, but sometimes it is good to have around you never know what might happen. It like what Shi_Musouka said better to be safe than sorry.
Plus the Civic might make it seem like a real venue, but some people are lazy and dont want to walk across the street. I think that is where J had it advantage. People would walk be interested and walk in to check it out, if they liked it they stay. If they didn't the can leave and go back to playing video games in the gaming room.
