Otakuthon ’09 – Summer’s Best Days (Picture Spam!)

This weekend, July 31st to August 2nd, I was busy being at Otakuthon which was being held in Montreal’s Palais des Congrès. It’s my second year at a con, so I wasn’t as intimidated as last year.

The following post is more of a picture spam rather than an actual post.

(By the way, a lot of pictures courtesy of my friends Hobo-san and Cass. I’ll update the post with mine when I get them from Rosabelle.)

Back from Otakuthon ’08

Considering my age and how poor I am, Otakuthon is the only anime convention that’s possible for me to attend. It was my first con and I have to say I had a lot of fun.

Treasures from my Two Weeks of Heat

The anime store in Chinatown updated itself. Too bad I only had money for new posters … I was going to get another Ouran but I decided to get TTGL since I couldn’t afford the soundtrack. I’m just praying it’ll still be there when I come back with the money. God knows how much I want that soundtrack. But I probably won’t be getting it soon since I’m saving for Otakuthon … which is the only con my sad 15-year old self can attend.

Back to gawking at my Geass poster.

Feet. Hurt. Like. Crap.

Yesterday I went to La Ronde … which is, if you don’t live in Québec, the amusement park in Montreal. We somehow managed bringing two other people to buy a pass (we were four at first) to pay it cheaper (66.5$ plus taxes instead of 81.25$ plus taxes!) … still, my savings have been almost completely obliterated because of that. It’s hard not having a job …. and parents without nice paying jobs (my dad doesn’t even have one ==;) My friends and I were thinking of finding a job this summer. I really need to save up for Otakuthon and Junjo’s limited DVD release. Well anyways, because of La Ronde my feet hurt like hell. I am NOT going to blame it on my new (and pretty) new shoes though. Their nice black skater-shoes, btw.

The depressing thought is that I’m not on vacation yet. Man. 19 days of school left to suffer.

So onto more pressing matters than real life!

I just finished watching a Monokuro cast talk on CR (w/ Suwabe, Kamiyan and OnoD) … and it seems the single of “Awake ~my everything~” is being released the 28th of this month! HOURRAY! I’m honestly tired of listening to the short TV version. Kamiyan and OnoD are such a great duo -Kotohana no Hana flashbacks- I love how similiar and in sync their voices are. It took about five listens before finding the difference between the two >< Kamiyan has a much … “softer”? voice than Ono. So it was pretty easy to differenciate after that. Gods do I love Kamiyan’s voice ❤ I wish he had more songs. I only know of Zesshou and Awake. -sob- It’d be nice if someone could give me a holler if they know any other Kamiyan songs. (And speaking of seiyuu songs, I sure would love another Shimono Hiro song …. his little solo in Hidamari no Gate is NOT enough for me)

That said, I haven’t listened to a BLCD in a while. I promised myself to listen to Shounen Yonkei and Double Call 04 (which somehow ended up being delayed over a month) soon but with Dark Crimson and everything I’ve been going to bed later than usual and forgetting about BLCDs. I kind of don’t want to push myself to write DC in this stressed/panicked way … but I’m really enjoying myself writing so I guess its okay. About 66 or 65 days left. Even if exams come up and bother me, I should be able to finish anyway. Banzai?

Rant over. Back to waiting for Eclipse to sub Code Geass and to write a bit of DC.
