Geass is now Bandai's bitch
I am just writing this to let people know I am back from Otakon. It was full of awesome and win, aside from my hotel bitches who spent all of Saturday reading HP like dorks. But I got some of the best Geass doujin in the world, two of the voice figures, lots of pretties to stick on my wall, all of the released manga (not Nightmare of Nunnally), the Ashford artbooks, saw a beautiful Kallen cosplayer and a fine Lelouch cosplayer and best of all, got accosted by Bandai's industry spy while waiting for Seki to sign my Gravitation poster.
I've never been privy to the official announcement of the licensing of one of my favorite series so this was very interesting. But I did love the part where Bandai U.S. assured us that Pizza Hut will continue to support the Rebellion in the U.S. Yes, in those words. They are well aware of what American fans have been saying about the show. Also, the announcement of showing Geass on TV did not say "American" broadcast; it said "international." ANN mispoke. I was there. A few fans and I made damn sure Bandai knows we want all the DVD extras, including the DVD booklets and the picture dramas. It's going to be fun dealing with the final two episodes when it comes to subbers, but other than that, I knew Bandai was going to get Geass around this point, and I am insanely excited about buying the animation-restored/rechecked DVDs. Also, it was great fun to watch Geass at Otakon and hear a bunch of guys go "NO ___ put down the gun" when a certain character showed up in the episode preview. Hah! I love being around Geass fans so the excitement that tore through the air when the Geass announcement came up was intense. I was not expecting so many to care. Guess Geass is making an impression after all. How I love my Geass.
I also chatted it up some about Seki with Maki Murakami and fully enjoyed both the AMV contest (almost all my favorites won) and the masquerade. Harry Potter Release Night was also amusing, as was hanging with the CFUD peeps in the artist gallery and having a super-quick chat with silver_huskey.
In conclusion, I am now avoiding the Internet until I finish Harry Potter and possibly until the final two episodes of Geass are released. SPOIL ME FOR GEASS AND YOU FUCKING DIE!!!
