I realize it is thursday, but what time do we pick up badges?
And yes I have registered lol

I am not sure if I am in the right sub forum to ask this, because it said this is for suggestions and people interested in Panels XP... but is the Gaia Panel going to be there this year? I actually missed it last year due to the fact that I needed sleep when my friends went >.<

I wouldnt consider it fun- if someone were to get hurt, because they nodded off due to lack of sleep.

Been there, Saw that, Paramedics called......not fun, expensive for the con, taxpayers, AND you.

sleep, eat, and hydrate....shower too

been there done that >.< I had the meds called on me XD.
I was not tired, but getting there.
I fainted I later thought it was due to lack of sleep XP

I bet that this Zelda game will center around the creation of the Master sword. If you look closely at the picture, parts of the girl resemble the Master sword. For example, that little gem on her chest.

OH WOW! Then this will be a good one... I mean if it DOES focus around it's creation...

At Fanime, am I going to be so unoriginal? Or will this be somewhat unique... I was planning on cosplaying Kuromi... not the rabbit wearing the jester clothing, but the actual girl...

ok  :/ thanks...

I can hitch a ride with a friend or something, or possibly take public transit no problem at all lol.

Ok I am really on a limited budget lol... I LOVE Fanime, can not pass it up. Is there any parking? Free would be rad...

whn ppl type lik ths in emails...
lik how do ppl undrstand wht the hell ur trying 2 say?!?!?!
its lik totlly annoying; i cnt undrstand it...

BASICALLY when people try to paraphrase what they are saying in "internet speech" unless it is like LOL, ROLF or something of the sort.

paraphrasing though is just annoying, and I cant understand what they say.

as well as excessive ellipsis and semi colons when they are most likely unnecessary.

AWWWWWWWWW IF THAT IS THE GRAPHIC FOR THE NEW GAME! I OWN THIS GAME AT MIDNIGHT! XD if of course there will be a midnight release...

When is E3? I never really pay attention

Old school;

Like: Asteroids (Atari2600)
Hate: Pong (Atari2600)-trust me it gets boring when no one will play it with you >.- My family does not take my victories against them well XP

I was wondering if anyone had heard anything about the new Zelda game. I hear Miyamoto had confirmed the release, but at the same time Nintendo keeps him pretty quiet. Of COURSE there is always info that leaks out. I am mainly wondering if it is going to be another toon Link game, or another Twilight Princess style. I am dying with all this anticipation hahaha.

Also WILL IT BE FOR WII!? Or is Nintendo going to make me have to buy another system? hahahahaha

People would keel over in the fetal position, sucking their thumbs going crazy.

I am not innocent I would be one of them. XD

the toll hikes are CRAZY! Still does this not go to paying for city repairs, and the overall income of San Francisco?

HEWP! >_<

Hey girls hey! Dont hate on M. Night Shyamalan! I thought that Lady in the Water was a beautiful piece of work. The Sixth sense and his other works were pretty awesome too, sure some of them have flopped but give it a chance. M Night is actually a BIG fan of the Avatar Series so he could do it some justice. Though I am amused that Patel is playing Prince Zuko.

Also, It peeves me that people will be like "OMG AMERICAN LIVE ACTION ANIMUS, ITS SOOO GOING TO SUCK LOLOLOLOLOL LETS BASH ON IT BEFORE IT EVER DEBUTS, OMG JAPAN DOES IT BETTER" Honestly Shut Up and wait till it comes out, go watch it and then go complain about it. I personally am looking forward to the American versions of death note, At least it will give a better representation than the crappy Japanese version. Japan honestly has done some of the WORST adaptions in Anime. Higurashi live action, Deathnote, and a few others were just so bad that I am pretty sure the american counterparts will do much better because there is more production value and a hell of a lot of money put into it. Though I can honestly say Dragon ball and Chun li were pretty bad for the US remakes.

That and Zac Efron will make an Amazing Light, Hes a fan of the series C:

Also, Transformers isn't a Japanese anime IIRC, Also Enjoyed that movie, its what I pretty much figured if Autobots and Decepticons were to be in the real world.

Speaking for my self, I cant speak for everyone; I think the Japanese films are good. I have not seen that many adaptions of Anime or games. The only adaption I have seen was DeathNote. I think it was done well. Although the actors could have been a little LESS hokey. I still enjoyed it for what it was. MOST american horror film makers dont know how to make horrors that well. Freddy Krugar? Nightmare on Elm St.? Whats the point other than slashing teens to bits. I like stories that freak you out psychologically, like Ju-On, which is the japanese version of The Grudge. XD

As for Shyamalan, yeah lady in the water was a good film but got a bit hokey as I remember. It was a beautiful story though.

What are the prices? I know it was $50 was it not suppose to go up? If it has not when does it go up? I am confused @.@

Realistically yeah, fitting in legalities is nice. But then there are those borderlines that are really inappropriate and the what not.

Most obvious example I can come up with was "Towel Rei" from Acen 2001. She walked around in panties and had a towel draped around her shoulders covering her chest(although some people said she had a bikini top on just in case, I doubt that was the truth, seeing that I saw her multiple times and there was no way). Technically, she was covered, and many can argue that the towel covered more of her than some bikini tops do.

Would this be allowed?

Out of good taste and nature... no it shouldn't. Even if legalities DID stand on it being legal (which I'm not sure legalities would stand on), out of good taste it shouldn't be allowed. Even if it's a family oriented convention, even if it wasn't... it's just not tasteful.

Acen staff did force her to go back to her room and put on clothes.

Then we get to the broader range of taste. The idea is the same though, people that purposely whore for attention, good or bad. The Ayanami cosplayer was actually rather attractive, which was why people questioned the act. Had the girl been ugly and overweight, I doubt anyone would have said anything to her at all.

Which leads to the fun fun fun debate of Man-faye.

Man-faye was banned from Anime Expo... twice, because they felt that his costume was inappropriate for the convention. Funnily enough there were girls wearing far less clothing, and exposing themselves far more within his vicinity almost every single time staff approached him. I was present for a few of them as my ex-manager was a friend of his. One time was at the Anaheim walkway between the Hilton and the convention center. There were approximately 6 girls cosplaying the DOAX series. One girl popped out of her top and pretty much exposed everyone to her right breast. This happened no more than 5 minutes before staff approached Man-Faye and told him he had to go change. Staff was present when the girl popped out of her swimsuit, and nothing was done about it.

So the obvious reasoning... Man-faye is a hairy guy, the other was a (in this case I wouldn't say attractive) proportioned female. Not to say that Man-faye didn't do anything inappropriate, as in one incident, he lifted his leg and his testicle popped out of his shorts in the dealers hall.

So what was done right, wrong, inappropriately by staff? There is no realistic line of what is allowed and what isn't. And of course most of it will have to be just done on eye and on the spot based on taste and reasoning. But when obvious bias will be played on subjects like this. Guys will get away with far less than an attractive female. And unattractive females will get away with far less than attractive females. It sorta just goes in circles.

Really, no one likes seeing the fatties cosplaying really scandalously clad outfits, but are they allowed to? And in the same suit, what about attractive females? What draws the line between too scantily clad and just scantily clad enough?

But yeah. There's hundreds of lines that can be made on what's inappropriate or not, beyond just "the costume". One can say every one of those shouldn't be allowed, and can be allowed at the same time.

You are really harsh, but yeah you actually have a good point. I mean walking around Fanime, I dont see anything TOO TOO bad, but you know there are some costumes I say to myself "Is that... appropriate?"

Banning the Man-Faye is a little harsh, but you know... it depends how exposed he was, I have walked around the con wearing nothing but a net shirt, skirt, and of course shoes... not one ever bugged me: so what was the problem with the Man-Faye?

In my opinion you should be able to wear a bikini, if your a guy you should be able to dress like Man-Faye. As long as you are decent and nothing pops out that should be covered... you know private areas, I think we know what they all are, so no need to list XP
As far as Man-Faye, I believe that was handled properly. It seems like a good costume, but he should have had clothing that fit him better :/. Although I dont know the full situation XP... So I will admit, I dont have much room to talk >.<

I was scared of seeing a Zelda live action because the people who tried to do it failed miserably.  But then IGN tried to do one (it was a trailer for a Zelda movie.  April fools joke a couple years ago) and it turned out AMAZING.  

YES! IGN SHOULD do this. It looked REALLY well done. I mean IGN could make SO much money if they released it.

I mean there were SOME flaws I must say, like some of it in the beginning looked kinda cheap, but the effort was good. IT WAS A MEAN APRIL FOOLS JOKE! I cried when I found out it was fake, and nothing more than a joke. So IGN should spend the extra moolah and make it.

Nooooooooooo way, it would turn out bad. How can you make a movie based on a video game in which the main character doesn't even talk.

Well I dont think it would be too bad. It would make a few Zelda Fans irritated. BUT if they follow with some of the scenery they had in the falsie trailer, it would turn out fine.

As for Link being a mute through the game, that can be changed, find someone who sounds like Link when he grunts, lifts, throws, yells, and fights. I mean it could not be too hard. Sure it wont be as good as the games, but still I think it would be good.

First time I am going to say this, I agree with PyronIkari. I mean it IS a public place. If it is children that Fanime is worried about, they see worse at beaches. If it is not illegal out side.

I mean cosplay is suppose to be dressing up like an anime character you like. So why put restrictions on that. Well Ok excuse me, within reason. I mean if someone is cosplaying as Yoko Littner from Gurren Lagann then, uhm choose a different shirt haha. Or a larger bikini top XD, just to be sure your breasts dont fall out.

But still.

I agree with Liquid.

Although I am NOT crazy about some of his views and decisions. I am sorry to say if there are any "pro-Bush" people out there... he seems better than him, BUT only time will tell. Things seem to be picking up after this stimulus package he created.

Yeah people hate him, thats because... and I QUOTE "You can satisfy some of the people some of the time, but you cant satisfy all of the people all of the time." He is going to make some decisions that some people dont like, thats too bad.

I am with Jerry on this one, I dont know where I stand, but I dont have all the information. :/
