Hey there guys. I went to take some pictures at the event this year and I was wondering if anyone knew those two girls who were dressed as QB and handing out contracts. They were really great and I was wondering if they've done anything else in the past...
Yay! I'm glad you liked us! The one in the white wig was me, and the other was my friend. We've both cosplayed other outfits both this year and in the past, but I don't think we've done anything interactive like this before. I was also the clumsy Celty in the Durarara gathering this year.
It truly was fun getting all the contracts signed and seeing what people wished for. And I was so happy there were other Kyuubeys at the gathering as well! He hasn't gotten enough love at the other conventions I've seen pictures of.
Also! There was a guy from Aniplex.jp that was scoping out the scene to see if Madoka would be profitable in the US and he talked to us, took a picture and even signed a contract, too. His wish was to "Buy Madoka DVD in US." So if AniplexUSA happens to dub Madoka, our little gathering may have had a hand in it. How cool is that?
EDIT: I know that there were people who wanted to read/sign the contracts and weren't able to because we had to run to the FLOW autograph session right after the gathering, so I'll share the contract here. And yes, the rune border does say something. ;)

the maturity level as addressed, no way... if anything.. the attendees were very much LESS mature than previous years... it is most apparent during the late hours.. especially during dance. if anything... the maturity levels you witnessed were because of Rovers keeping things in order.. and made sure those immature folks were taken care of so you could enjoy the con.

But Rovers HAVE gotten better at handling situations such as hug lines, people swinging swords around, catching weapon policy violations faster, etc. so that the situations are handled BEFORE they become a large problem for other attendees. So if you saw an improvement in the overall behavior of attendees, THANK A ROVER.
[ It should be obvious, but everything posted here is my opinion and does not speak for the department. ]

You know the problem is. People don't realize how much work is actually out into the maid cafe not only just the time dedicated during the actual cafe but practicing and training for the Fanimaid Stage Zero performance and such.
Though I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes, I can for a fact say I've been there since the Maid Cafe started and I've seen how much it has grown up to now. Every second of time they put in they do it for the fans so to bash that and the people who work there, maid or staff, there better be a damn good reason and not just " the food is pricey and sucked so the maid cafe and maids SUCK" type of stuff. People want proof of how awesome the cafe was this year? I have a picture for almost every table and a number of pictures overlooking the entire cafe inside and out to show that.
Spoken like a true sycophant. it is "the complainer is always wrong" types like this person that ensure that nothing ever improves at this convention.

Maturity Level of Attendees I'm not saying it's perfect, but I'm seeing a lot more maturity from the attendees. In years passed ('04-'07ish) I noticed a lot more annoying squealing/glomping/general discord. I remember seeing people do stupid and dangerous things (back in the days of Der Cosplay, on my way out, I saw 2 guys having a battle with the swords they bought from a booth) and reflecting back on that, it seems it's gotten 100x better.

Why did Press get to take up the first two rows when some girls had been waiting 10 hours or so just to secure those spots? They ended up in the third row! I thought that was somewhat disrespectful to the fans.
As he said "Well, it isn't that far."

Before I add to the compaints here, let me say I love Fanime. It's always a nice way to spend my weekend and unwind, especially after the school semester. However, this year, I was feeling a bit let down by the organization.
1. No schedules - Wiith so many events going on, you're bound to miss something important or something you'd like to go to without a schedule to tell you when everything is happening.
2. Congestion - There needs to be some ways to deal with the massive crowds that might occur. I never had a problem with this before, but with the super-heavy rain that occured this year, it was literally shoulder-to-shoulder costume-breaking crowds.
3. Rudeness of rovers - During the dance, my girlfriend wasn't dancing and instead was holding onto both of our badges while I mixed it up. She went outside to get a drink of water, and a rover threatened to pull both of the badges. Also, waiting in lines for events was absolutely ridiculous, especially in regards to the B&W ball (though I'm not sure if those are Fanime officials or not). The people supervising were just obscenely rude to those in line.
4. Supervision at the B&W ball - Very simple, but people should not be running through the dance floor or trying to start conga lines at the ball. That kind of thing needs to be put down fast.
5. Lastly, the DJs at the dances - The beats were super weak this year. The music would not keep flowing like it should for a rave.
However, despite all these, I still had plenty of fun at this year's Fanime. I especially enjoyed plaing Marvel on Stage Zero. It was a nice touch not having to donate tons of money to get up on stage.

Yeah the crooks are really killing the scene! I do agree too that it is turning too much into a free-style, all around convention.
it's true, I enjoyed the innocence and the bliss of the nerd energy back then. well don't get me wrong, I was only 15-17 years old when I truly enjoyed Fanime the most. maybe yeah, I'm getting too old, but I just get a vibe that the older crowd had much more charisma.
There are definitely crooks there and they seem to be doubling in size and numbers since last year. (last year was when I noticed it was bad, but this year was even WORSE) pretty soon, the scene will be more about "protecting myself, staying safe, gotta stay away from this area and that because there are creeps," blah blah.
I think the original nerdy people (who were awesome) and used to go have been reduced.
honestly it seems like people don't respect the convention anymore
edit:Quote from: LordKefkaAnd the guy talking shit about the maids, what service were you expecting?
What was I expecting? Not much. I am not expecting a 5 star restaurant service. In fact, maybe I was being a little too critical, since I work at a 4/4.5 star restaurant, and since I do great customer service on the ordinary. So if I sounded too blunt, I apologize. but what do you want me to say? Should I have worded it alternatively?
