The Animeroot crew rolled out and arrived at the DTC around late morning on Friday. The first thing that we noticed was that the hotel parking lot was already piling up at 10:30AM. After sorting a few minor issues with our rooms, we collected our badges and setup HQ in the rooms.
The first event on our list was Opening Ceremonies which left us with some time to kill, we decided to troll for photos of the cosplayers before finally hitting the dealers room. Zion, Crash and myself picked up a few items. One of the items Zion picked up being particularly interesting in the sense that it was a figure with fuzzy ears and a tail. Zion might make a quick review about this sometime.
Once it neared time for the Opening Ceremony we headed over to erect the audio/video setup as well as take a few still photos. Overall, I think the Opening Ceremony was
rather informative as to who the guests were, especially since we have a few first time con-goers in our group this year.
There were also some big announcements made, the main one being that there is a NDK New Years Costume Ball planned. If this will be a classic “Mask and Tux/Dress” ball or a Cosplay ball it isn’t really certain but we have a feeling it is going to be leaning more towards the cosplay type. Closely followed by Opening Ceremonies was Miki Nagasawa’s Panel. At the request of the guest no audio/video recording was allowed at the panel, however a few pictures are available in the gallery.

It is not new by any means new news but Bandai has gone and created an alarm clock.. which they conveniently named “Gun o’ Clock”. It is essentially a clock with a big target on top with a gun accessory. While this is all fine and dandy.. it is their advertisement scheme that is priceless. Click the “Read more” tab for animated deminstraton on how it works. Its’ cool!

Day 4 of anime expo was mostly just dealers room and autographs. The only other things really going on is closing ceremonies and origami (lawl). We bought a couple artbooks and a few other last minute items that we just couldn’t live without. Its’ been a good con overall.. and we don’t get on the road to Colorado till tomorrow. The rest of the day is looking to be prep.

Well it is day two of anime Wasabi and we currently have three of our four admins here on site. The day didn’t really begin till 4:00PM. Once we got here we had plans of picking up pictures of cosplayers before the Cosplay Contest. Unfortunately it had already started before we arrived. However, we did get lots of footage of cosplayers when cruising the hallways. Overall though the convention has been fun, at first we were a bit skeptical but Wasabi is looking promising and there will probably be a chance that we will be returning next year.
We’ll be uploading pictures to Here or it can be found in the Wasabi 09 album in the convention gallery.

This is gundam 00
This anime season is almost over and that means that a new one will be starting. In passing it has brought us
a few note worthy titles like, Gundam 00 Season 2, Asu no Yoichi!, Maria Holic and of course some of the on going series such as Skip Beat! and Tales of the Abyss as well as some series that may have been better off not making an appearance ( Zettai Shogeki: ~Platunic Heart~) but lets not focus on the bad. Below is a look at some of the up coming shows of possible interest.
