also,
MOMIJI’S CHALLENGE 2008

Our mascot sure loves a technical challenge! Recently, she was shocked to learn that the animation she loves so much is made up of sequences of cell frames, creating the illusion of motion. She wants to study the kinetics of stillness. This year's challenge is to create an animated music video using nothing but still images and special effects. Possible sources include manga, wallpapers and still frames. Please refrain from submitting slideshows; your video must feel animated in some way. Due to the painstaking nature of this challenge and the lack of time left in which to complete it, we are lifting the minimum length restriction. This year, Challenge videos may be less than one minute in length. Otherwise, all other standard judging criteria apply, soplease try to conform to our quality guidelines. The winner will receive the Momiji's Challenge Award.

looks interesting =O

Oh, AN is always interesting. The first year i went it was cool ....second it smelled like BO REALLY bad ... but it was still cool, cuz i was drunk half the time.

Site note: Don't drink then enter the dealers room ... you will spend 400 bucks before u knew what hit you.

Oh last years AN was fun. I didn't have the money for it this time around though, being stuck in Northern Ontario and all. Hope everyone had an awesome time!

I'll sum up AN this year for those who missed it:
Chii won the amv contest
the rave went up in flames (that's right ... flames)
70%cosplayers
30% yaoi obsessed fangirls
Didn't smell as bad as last year (thanks god!)
You couldn't walk through the fucking dealers room, because people kept pulling cosplayers into the middle of the fucking isle and if you walk in front of them they get all "hey! i was taking a picture!" ...seriously, go outside people. :x
The deals in the dealers room varied from wicked to terrible and there were tons of cute asian coslayers .... and the white/black girls ... well, the tried :lol:
Oh, and this video was shown, this is freaking wicked:

I heard there was an ass in the Dealers room hitting people with a hammer... What was the con staff doing because they got a few complaints about it.

I didn't hear anything about that ... but a lot of people appeared to have been drinking there (then again, with otaku it's hard to tel if they are sober or not ...). So i don't doubt that that had happened. The security was pretty shitty this year, lol. You could walk right past them and they would be just like "oh ...wait ...ur not ...." lol. Not that i'm complaining :P

I noticed how it seemed no one had watched anything new since last year. Pretty much everything there was Death Note and Bleach. Not even the usual Naruto saturation.

Says the guy who sent in 2 Gurren Lagaan videos. :wink:

PS What Bleach videos? You must be thinking of last year. :P

But yeah, Death Note was the dominant anime this year. Though we did indeed have some Naruto footage.
