I'm about to go away to college and I have a ton of manga I need to sell. I would really prefer to sell the entire sets that I have, but if you so desire, I will sell you the last book that I have in the series, or the last couple. For instance:

I have Get Backers 1-21, I will sell you vol. 21. I will also sell you vol. 19, 20, and 21. However, I will NOT sell you only vol. 1 or only vol. 16.

I'm selling individual manga for $7, unless otherwise noted. I'm willing to haggle! If you want pictures, I can also provide those. Also, the books are in excellent condition, and I mean supreme! I take extremely good care of my books, and there aren't even any creases in the binding. You will not find used books in better condition.

I don't know about shipping costs, but I can get back to you on that. I live in Oakland, but I'm not willing to travel very far, considering I don't have a car nor insurance :P. I'll go as far as Berkeley, San Leandro, and maybe San Francisco.

Please take this manga from me ;___;.

I'm selling:
Get Backers 1-25 -- $150 (my volume 14 was printed slightly strange with a yellow tinge, but it's otherwise in great condition)
Fullmetal Alchemist 1-21 -- $126

[BREAKING NEWS:]

For a third year in a row, I will be running the Visual Kei panel again >w<!  I was so amazed at the turnout last year, I just hope I can do it again this year!  As usual, I will try to bring new information and raffle prizes this year, so I hope you guys enjoy!  Whether you're a new or old fan, this panel will have something for you!

When will it be?  12PM on Saturday!

BREAKING NEWS: Yoshiki will be a special guest this year!  Come to the panel to learn a little about him!

[WHEN:]

WHEN: Saturday at 4PM
WHERE: Marriott Salon 1:2

I know it's kind of late, but I just want to thank everyone who attended last year.  You all made that panel awesome :3!

However, it still wasn't that great and I can definitely do better.  This year will be much better!  I will hopefully get a connection to the speakers from my computer so that we can listen to music and watch videos.  I'm not sure that the content I will be talking about will change, but it'll definitely have more.

So, if you like visual kei, or you're interested in discovering a new genre, than join me in Visual Kei: More Than Music!  Come learn about the origins and how to get started down the path of visual kei enlightenment.  

Also, if you want to confirm that you're attending, that would be awesome.  Then we could meet each other there :3.

[Pros:]

I am stuck between two characters to cosplay as!  Long story short, I'm 5'1", female, 115 lbs., and er... blue-eyed.  I have two girls in mind, but I just don't know who.  I am fine at sewing and construction (except shoes), but I don't have much money to spend on materials.

Yako Katsuragi from Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
Crappy Picture is Crappy

Pros:
- She has great hair clips that I'm interested in making
- Her outfit is fairly simple
- She's from an manga from Shounen Jump... so, you know, that's awesome
- The wig I have is perfect for her

Cons
- She has brown eyes (I know, not a big deal, but it still bothers me)
- She is skinny, and it shows
- Might not be recognized too easily

Rhyme from The World Ends With You
Pretty Picture is not so Crappy

Pros
- She has blue eyes 8D!!
- I am also interested in making her bell
- She wears baggier clothes that I won't have to be too nervous wearing
- She might be recognized more

Cons
- I don't know the game as well as I know MTNN
- Her hair might be just a tad bit longer than my wig
- Those shoes are impossible (ideas?)

I am looking for your guys' opinions.  Which cons do you think are stronger than others?  Pros?  Which do you simply like more?  

I really appreciate any input!

Simply put, is there anyway to change your fan name after registering?  I really don't like "Pengin-san" anymore, even though I've always used this name, as it reminds me too much of my weeaboo days @_@;.  However!  If it's very complicated or near impossible, then I don't want to be a burden or nuisance or anything. 

So there is a J-rock panel already, but I think visual kei should have it's own panel.  Now I'm not talking about your typical visual kei bands that everyone has heard of like Malice Mizer.  I personally believe that I can go much deeper as I've been listening to visual kei for a while, and I listen to a wide array of bands.  However, that sounds really cocky, so it makes me feel terribly awkward.  Anyway, I think Fanime could really use a genuine visual kei panel that will apply to old fans and new or curious listeners.

I've had this idea for years, but I just didn't know how to go about it.  Plus, I still don't know if you guys would really be interested.  So would any of you be interested in attending a visual kei panel?

For those who don't know what visual kei is, here's a good article.

I'm sorry if I'm not supposed to ask this, but I too want to get prepared.

So, are we allowed to edit the karaoke tracks at all?  As in, I want to change the instrumental version of the song to a lower pitch.  Can I do that?  Or does it have to be the original, official karaoke track?
