Colossalcon 2007 Report
Written By: Andy Floyd

View out the door. I never saw trees from any entrance of the places we went to in Toronto. At least not like this. The calm before the storm on Friday.

The first thing I have to say about Colossalcon is that I had a very good time there.

Registration opened up at 9 am!! 9 am! Anime North opens that at 1 pm. That means for Colossalcon, stuff happens as soon as the day starts. I got to see some Otaku no Video in one of the video rooms.

Oh hey - this will impress you if you've never seen this - the video rooms are run off computers. Unless they have to run a videotape, everything is loaded onto the hard drives and run off the systems, equipped with projectors. The neat thing, if the system is set up in this way, that someone could use their wifi connection, check up on what file is playing, adjust volume, pretty much keep up on the status of the video rooms at any moment. The only time this went bad was a Spanish subbed live action Death Note movie was playing, and someone volunteered the use of their DVD with English subs. I got to fix that, and the crowd of cheers I got when I figured it out (I haven't much experience withPowerDVD).

The systems ran all day with few problems. Neat.

I later was able to go into the dealers room on Friday and bought a copy of Otaku no Video on DVD. Only 1 dealer had it. And it's the only official Gainax release with any Daicon Bunnygirl footage in it!

Anime for Cheap Bastards #2
Written By: Andy Floyd

Time for another heads up on cheap anime on DVD, and once again Dollar General stores, at least in my local area, have another crop of cheap anime DVDs for $3 each! It seems most of these are Bandai Entertainment or Pionner aka Geneon stuff. A short list of titles (because sometimes I can't remember a whole lot) includes more or less...

Tenchi Universe - At $3 a pop, these horribly mastered Geneon DVDs, as part of their "Signature Series" titles, is likely the most you need to pay. I found and bought V.2 and 3.

April Update

I figured it would be good to say at least something this month.

First off, thanks to Adam Kanal and Jon Mays for notice on the following. There's an unsubstantiated rumor (note the link) that Japanese magazine Animage has announced that Fox has picked up the rights for a live action Sailor Moon flick starring Lindsay Lohan. I'll pick up a copy of Animage this weekend and see if they actually say anything, but I'm currently rolling my eyes at this.

Tokyo International Anime Fair 2006

Before we begin, let me mention that we've filled 9 of the Warriors of Legend Tour's 10 slots, and will be closing the tour for registration within the next few days. The level of commitment from Sailor Moon's fans blows me away and I'm honored to be guiding this group.

If everything goes well, when the tour concludes on June 30th, 2006 (Usagi's birthday), I'll be writing a letter to Takeuchi, explaining what we did on the tour and including some photographs of those in attendance. I think she will be absolutely thrilled by it.
