After a good long weekend of con-going there were lots of photos to sort through. A big thanks goes out to all the cosplayers that attended the convention as none of these would be here without you! Head on over to the Nan Desu Kan 2009 Gallery for pictures! More pictures are likely to be added tomorrow or the day after as I still need to get photos from two other cameras. Enjoy!
Noob Edit: All pictures from cameras are uploaded!

This year at Anime Expo 2009 some of the AnimeRoot crew sat in on the AMV re-screen. The AMV re-screen was in a small(er) room than the main event, but showed all the AMVs from this year’s contest, and also included some cool footage of Monty Oum’s Dead Fantasy series.
The best part though was probably that the line wasn’t absolutely huge (by mega-con standards).
This year’s comedy category winner, and winner of various other judge and fan choice awards was entitled “We Need You!” As the name, and the first few seconds of footage suggest, the AMV is put to the track of “Starship Troopers: We Need You!” After looking around for a while the AMV was nowhere to be found on the net, but sure enough after a few weeks have passed the AMV has hit Youtube and various other sites. AMV is embedded after the break!

Zion will be updating this with some posts he’s been working on, but we went to the AMV rescreen and as a cool addition we got to watch all of the “Dead Fantasy” (Final Fantasy vs. Dead or Alive for those of you who haven’t seen any of it) videos that have been released to date. Following is a list of the AMVs that made it to the finals for the AMV screening.

Today was the first real day of the convention. The day was mostly spent waiting in line for the dealers room which was really quite huge. After nearly five hours of buying the AR crew went back to the hotel for some refreshment and viewing of the “goods.” At 10PM JAST USA held a panel at the convention center that we had to go catch. The slideshow from the projector is all attached to the post. On another quick note Zion won another game while at the panel so things went smooth. To sum it up quickly the panel covered:
- Finished Projects
- New Game Announcements
- Current Projects
- Introduction of Nitro+ Projects (Videos to come possibly)
[EDIT] Images to come; tired and stuff is being retarded.
You can find the JLIST slideshow panels here: AX 2009 JLIST Gallery

A while back someone posted a video from playing a crazy mario mod. This guy goes nuts on just the first level alone, taking 12 minutes to finish it.
