That’s right lads, this is just a quick update that tomorrow I’ll be bound for Naka-Kon in Overland Park, KS. This will be my second visit there and I’m incredibly stoked to check out some anime merch (on the hunt for Asuka goodness), meet some of my favorite English voice actors *fingers crossed* (including but not limited to: Austin Tindle, Apphia Yu and Erica Mendez), and possibly meet up with some of you!! I know Crimson (MyFujoshiLife) and Kausus (OtakuGamerZone) will both be nerdin’ out, so it’d be cool if we met IRL. Look for a terrible Mikaela Hyakuya cosplayer, that’s me XD On the iffy side, I heard their autograph sessions are ticketed events now, so God, I hope that’s not a huge hindrance. Not too happy about that. 
But yeah, it’ll be a lot of fun – We’ll make it fun! This does mean I’ll be out for another 3 days (whoops!), but my Rose of Versailles review is nearly ready. After that, I’m on break for a week, so lots of time for blogging and catching up with you all. It’ll all be fine.
Just a quickie from me, have a wonderful weekend!!~

It was pretty nice, my biggest disappointment was the dealers hall but near the end the manga booth dropped their price and I nabbed a few
then there was this lady who was selling/trading some titles and I bought a few from her 👍👍👍

I last minute decided on getting the VN that Ayu was selling but they sold out ;_; lol

Ooh, well glad you managed to get some cheaper manga! You managed to trade with someone, too? Wow, that’s neat, I’ll be doing a haul post sometime today hopefully, so then you can see da goods XD

I went to her booth on Sunday and saw her 😀 but was too scared to go up and ask for a picture…Dx Your mom sounds awesome! My mom would've been like uh uh you go. What movie?
Well, they said I could buy it online so I might do that maybe…xD

Oh, just noticed you mentioned selling, whoops!
and IKR, I have so many posts to write up it’s not even funny.
More importantly, you’re watching Psycho-Pass? First or second time, cause whichever, it’s an absolutely incredible series! I need to buy the movie whenever it comes out
My mom has this natural high to talk to ‘famous’ people, and also it was a bit of a competition to see who could meet more VAs XD
She was Airi in Robotics;Notes, Steins;Gate’s unknown cousin who IMO is wonderful in its own right. Also, it’s cool that you can buy it online. Not sure what it’s about, but yeah lols

I started watching s1 a while back but only got through like…3 episodes? so I’m going back to watch it and finish it @_@ I’ve heard it’s really good and I watched the preview for the movie and was like ‘the MC turns into THAT?’ she was really cool and all i remember was her being really timid xD
Who won? :0 Also, I haven’t watched Stein’s gate yet >_> I checked it out a while ago but didn’t feel like continuing it for some reason…? I’ve been meaning to go back and watch it but there’s other anime I’m more excited about xD
I have no idea what it’s about, I just wanted to help support since I thought she was cool :3 I heard it involved mystery and murder and lots of blood…

Oh yeah, Akane turns into a beast. Great character. Totally worth watching again, now that you mention it.
Well, I got the most autographed merch out of all of us, but getting to talk to Ayu and Micah as an actual adult would be an unforgettable experience for me. It’s awesome that you’d be willing to buy it just to support them! And hey, it sounds interesting enough, so that’s a plus. I’m a sucker for mystery 🙂
Steins;Gate, oh lord, this to me is the anime of all anime. If you’ve ever taken a recommendation from me and it paid off, this is the one I always entrust people with. It’s a story of complexity on many levels, so it’s hard to jive with at first, but by the second half it’s like a drug – Mentally draining, time consuming, addicting, but NOT bad for your health at all. Every anime fan should watch it. Done. Do it.
*sorry to tangent the chat, I just hold this one close to heart xD*
