Fine. Let’s do an anime con.
Where/When:
Dark_Sage’s place. This Saturday. I’m south of the Twin Cities, and if you don’t know what that means, it’d probably cost too much for you to come here anyway.
Who’s Invited:
You.
No, legitimately. I’m not really gonna make it easy to get my address, but if you wanna play my game, you can come.
Cost:
Free. You all get Special Guest badges.
Featured Guests:
Dark_Sage!
kokujin-kun!
Calyrica!
(Yeah, we all live within like an hour of each other.)
Panels:
Fansubbing: Why it sucks
Fansubbers: Why they suck
Fansubs: Why they’re all cancer
Fandubs: Why they need to happen more often
Events:
Manga reorganization. Because Dark_Sage can’t alphabet and Caly’s OCD.
“Hey we should really sub something together sometime.”//”Yeah, let’s do that.”//*20 years pass, Hyobu episode 8 is released.*
Autographs. If you’re a cute girl, I’d be willing to sign your tongue with mine. Crossplaying guys also count depending on how drunk I get.
Rave:
Featuring the stylings of DJ Dark_Sage.
Expect a playlist consisting solely of Mindless Self Indulgence and The Birthday Massacre.

Click play. It’s good. Promise desu.
DealerDark_Sage’s Room:
Dive through boxes of extra manga/anime and take anything that costs less than 25 cents on the open market.
Handy Dandy Website:
(I may actually do something with this in the future. We’ll see.)
Dammit, Crycon is so far away from where I live. If I could make it, I would.
Sounds fun.
I have a feeling this would be markedly preferable compared to the huge congregations of probably LoL cosplayers by now.
I can’t escape that damn game. Even my anime club is having a tournament for it.
I feel all old and style-cramping for saying this, but LoL pretty much took over my little brother’s life. He’s on the verge of repeating a year, practically. A year ago he was calling it gay, and now he’s married to it. It’s a cancer, man.
Oh, I used to play League a lot, then I switched to Dota 2 because too many of League’s design decisions pissed me off.
Fuck, it’s a continent over. No CryCon for me.
Also, count me in for Crycon 2015. I’ll be 21 by then (although you can mysteriously drink at 19 in Ontario…).
Are the Twin Cities near Glasgow
Considering D_S is American, surprisingly not :)
Me wa shock
I’m down.
And I’ve got evidence for why fandubs shouldn’t exist, maybe in the form they do now.
I am SO excited you guys have NO idea aaaaahhhhh best weekend EVAR.
hey guyz ill be their dressed (i looked it up on the internet and its called COSPLAY) as pikachu i luv pokemons and i hope their will b other pokemons fans theyre.
Love the idea. Too bad I live on the other side of the planet but I will patiently wait for a summary of what happened during CryCon 2014.
Now we just need a video of Dark_Sage, kokujin-kun and Calyrica singing anime songs ( preferably in a drunken state ).
About the only song I know is the Wolf Whistling Song. Caly/koku, for practice:

A solid choice. But I was hoping for something more crazy.

Dude, I can’t do Nip songs. There’s like too much foreign in them.
We got this covered. Believe it! But besides the mandatory american versions of Naruto songs you should also focus on more accessible and harmless works for a wider range of anime fans.

I can do the One Piece rap by heart.
All versions of it, ofc.

Cool! All I have to do is explain to the rest of the guys why I can’t TL Ippo this Saturday, lol
Fansubban > RL
Coincidentally, I just learned that a fellow fansubber was forced by his girlfriend to quit being online so much. So yeah, rl sucks.
As for me, the editor’s girlfriend demanded him to watch Kobato with her immediately. Happened a few hours after the new ep aired. So ikr.
(New ep referring to the show we were subbing. It means that he couldn’t edit that day due to his gf.)
See? Girlfriends get in the way.
Obvious solution: find a girl who’s willing to edit your TL.
It’s actually better for the editors if they don’t know me personally, since I typically jump down their throats.
True, true.
I was also wondering when you were going to tell me (oh, noes! your disgusting editor for Ippo)about your field trip. Though, even I am able to understand that it must be cold to sleep in a bed ALONE, and that by going out you’ll be increasing your chances to get laid.
I almost wrote “to shag”, but then I remembered you were from the US, so I must express myself clearer. :P
Unless Caly stops being a lesbian and Dark_Sage stops being straight, the odds of that are pretty low. I guess we could hit the bars though.
But wait! Caly x D_S was a thing for a while, so one of those statements must be false ;)
Nothing I said was false.
Nope, falsedawn. He was just very understanding of my gayness. It was also very strange and I would not recommend getting into such a relationship.
Yes, that does sound rather complicated :X
Just TL at the con. It’ll take like 30 mins, tops. I’ll give advice on all the complicated words to speed the process up. It’ll be great.
Haha, it takes me a minimum of five hours to TL an episode.
I wish I was kidding.

You know what it is. I’m not a translator, I’m an artiste.
No, you’re just a slow translator…
^
TBH I often take longer depending on how much I care about the show. Slowpokes unite… eventually…
Almost there…
Great idea! You can do Hyoubu while you’re there too.
A fifteen hour drive to a vague location in Minnesota?
Count me in!
Jark has the Crossplay role filled. Remember Jark, to play the part, it’s rape even though you want it.
Sweet. Toss me an email and I’ll give you the deets. See you there, man.
No take-backs.
Where are the Doctor Who and MLP panels? I thought this was an anime con.
Oh, I combined those into one panel, just forgot to list it.

Cosplay pics pls.
We’ll see if I can find any cosplay worth taking pics of. No promises, though. It looks like this’ll be a smaller con than most of the ones I’ve been to.
I’m glad you picked the map from FFT. It just proves you are a man of class and impeccable taste. If you picked that map on accident, however…
Let’s just say I’d crossplay Meliadoul at cons if I thought anyone was quality enough to recognize me.
I’ve been craving an anime in the art style of FFT for years. For now i’ll have to settle for the FFT doujins.
And honestly, some of the gamers might recognize that crossplay. Though Ramza is probably the most recognizable.
D_S are you actually worthy of the worship I throw your way? Because that’s only like 4 hours from here (maybe closer to 2 if I think I can take the Lotus out of storage). Work this week sucked and I need a distraction.
I think what I’m trying ask is if I manage to track you down, will you marry me?
Mm, you know Faribault? You can use that as a rough distance estimator.
Honestly, it’s not worth any lengthy trip. Reason being, my town sucks ass and there’s nothing to do even when it’s July, let alone February. The reason why I like to meet people at cons is because there’s always something new to do in case something isn’t working out. But a four-person house party in the Minnesota winter is… well, you’re gonna be stuck in a house. In Minnesota. In winter.
You’re totes welcome to come (seriously, the door’s open), but you might wanna temper your expectations.
Minnesota
In fucking February
Even where I am its a never ending, icy wasteland. I don’t want to even think about spending 6 hours to drive even further into this frozen hell. Why cant you live in fucking Miami or something?
Miami’s too Miami. Please understand.
can i attend the convention via skype
Uhh… sure?
On a sidenote, how quickly do u think the licensing studios would be contacting their lawyers is fansubbers really tried to start an anime con? >_>
Why would they contact their lawyers?
The joys of living in a (relatively) free country.
I need to see Dark_Sage doing the Haruhi ED dance like those fat landwhales on YouTube.
I need that in my life.
I never actually learned the thing, though I really wanted to. :(
Try to learn it now, you have tonight and tomorrow.
I expect video.
No way, man. I have anime to fall asleep to.
Is THAT what the kids are calling it these days?
It’s all right. I know it by heart. You’ll get your video one way or another.
Holy hell seeing “Mindless Self Indulgence” typed out help bring back a flood of memories from years past…really enjoying this “The Birthday Massacre” too.
Google tells me if I drive starting now. I could possibly make it in time.
I’d go if I didnt’ live in Norway. Especially to tell Dark how much his taste in anime stink.
I approve of this primarily because of the Takarada image.
