I think everyone wasn't as enthusiastic because of the 8+ hour line. Everyone was drained or disappointed because they expected something better. Many cosplayers did a half-assed last minute job on their costumes as well, which wasn't fun to look at. I think the 7000 Death Note Misas (who surprisingly outnumbered the L's and Kira cosplayers combined) were my breaking point. honestly, I was very disappointed as well.

Those serious fans. "4chan fans" are easily moar like "4chan fags", but atleast they know what the fuck they're talking about. Besides, havent you seen /a/ lately? Its full of shit. @Leviahan: No I mean the “serious fans” who don’t go batshit insane for every fucking overpriced piece of Japan they can get their hands on and squee with retarded joy every time they see some 200+lb matt cosplayer kiss another fat mello cosplayer.

It's nothing to "join in" actually. ByteMovies probably meant the "serious fans" of 4chan, though they're mostly retarded but from time to time share some usefull news or doujinshis. They think thy're different from the rest because they show little enthusiasm and a lot of hatred and criticism towards most shows, regardless if they're good or not. They believe only "manly" shows are good and shows that involved emotions or moe are mostly second preference there. So no, don't bother to "join in". @Dm: well, simply look around fo some sources of information and stuff. It’s nothing to “join in” actually.

That's very disappointing to hear; the number should be WAY higher, something like 20% for each category. What makes them different from the rest, and how does one "join" them? -2% Actual serious anime fans
-1% Artists interested in Manga

Really? That’s very disappointing to hear; the number should be WAY higher, something like 20% for each category.

What makes them different from the rest, and how does one “join” them?

I have better things to do with my money, like shoes, manga, shoes, candy, all that good stuff. Your art is the shiz-nite! If you had done some Death Note stuff or Bleach you would have killed. Naruto is only really big with the elementary school crowd now. And not that it's entered the filler years here in the US my little bros and there friends are hating it something fierce. Little do they know the pain the coming years holds for them; but they still dig the manga. As for the generation thing, you speak like you're 30 or something. I don't know you're age (I'm 18-20) but you're not needing Metamucil and a cane just yet. And you know the effects of the popularity of crystal meth has scarred a generation or two. And don't forget crack! Meth & Crack babies do grow up and they are among us. :shock: I hope you can salvage some good memories out of your trip, because obese, B.O. fuming, singing nimrods isn't something I believe anyone would want to remember. But for the record, Death Note was good. Real Good! :) I went to a Halloween party as Misa & made my fiance go as L (I didn't like Light). Plus, stop listening to that depressing Boyz II Men song. :cool: Try the new Foxxi MisQ X-B-F song. I'm LOVING IT at the moment. I feel so sad that you’re down. :sad:

That's awesome. Well, Weeaboo is just a phase and hopefully the current crop of teenaged anime fans will grow up. Death Note AMVs? That’s awesome.

You and JP seriously have to consider coming to a con here in the Philippines... We are way more organized and the people who do the bulk of the organization (apart from the one organized by the anime TV networks) are done by volunteers who were part of the original cons when they started here in 2000. Cosplays are excellent (though here, we puke at Naruto not Death Note). Plus, it's only $2 to enter for the day and the loot people get (in terms of giveaways and the stuff make it all worth it).
