00:05:29 [nathanbp]Hey
00:05:42 [nathanbp]oh boy Kyoukai no Kanata film
00:05:52 [Cassian]Hey
00:05:53 [Cassian]Yeah
00:05:53 [nathanbp]I guess Kyoani can do whatever they want at this point >_>
00:05:58 [Cassian]True
00:06:10 [Cassian]I'm not sure people actually wanted that
00:06:26 [nathanbp]yeah, that was my impression too
00:07:20 [Cassian]It wasn't that popular. Chuunibyou made sense
00:07:45 [nathanbp]I'm not sure I even wanted a Kyoukai movie and I liked it >_>
00:07:56 [Cassian]Lol
00:08:04 [nathanbp]well they're doing the Tamako market movie too and that was even less popular?
00:08:10 [Cassian]Yeah
00:08:18 [Cassian]I heard the movie did pretty well in Japan
00:08:33 [Cassian]And at least it's not even more Free
00:10:30 [nathanbp]hmm, that surprises me (the Tamako Market movie doing well)
00:10:32 [nathanbp]true
00:10:54 [nathanbp]I feel like we're going to be stuck with free forever though
00:11:11 [Cassian]Yeah DX
00:16:37 [nathanbp]are you planning on going to NYCC or not bothering after last year was terrible?
00:16:54 [Cassian]I am since my friend from Cali is going
00:17:03 [Cassian]But I only have a Friday pass right now
00:17:26 [Cassian]Because of ReedPop's shitty system that encourages scalppers
00:18:08 [nathanbp]oh? do they not announce when tickets are going on sale?
00:18:18 [Cassian]They do but you can buy 6 at a time
00:18:38 [Cassian]So even if you are high in the queue you still have a chance of not getting a 3 day
00:18:54 [Cassian]4 days are always gone in a few hours
00:19:06 [nathanbp]6 does seem a tad excessive >_>
00:19:18 [Cassian]It does
00:20:24 [Cassian]The only other way to get one is buy a three day from Kino or a comic store in NY but those are almost always gone immediately too
00:20:41 [nathanbp]They also have basically no guests announced?
00:21:01 [Cassian]Except Stan Lee
00:21:06 [Cassian]Because Stan Lee
00:22:07 [nathanbp]no author guests that I might actually care about?
00:22:18 [Cassian]Not yet
00:24:06 [Cassian]The good thing about the actual book author signnings is they're generally not long lines
00:24:24 [Cassian]Unless they're a known author
00:24:48 [nathanbp]I'm not sure how many authors there are that I'd care enough to get a signed book from >_>
00:24:57 [nathanbp]I think they had Sanderson last year
00:25:07 [Cassian]Huh
00:44:11 [nathanbp]I wonder if Otakon will end up with any guests I care about this year...(betting on no)
01:02:44 [Cassian]Yeah....
01:03:01 [Cassian]It's a month away and there's still not a lot of guests announced
01:06:05 [nathanbp]I guess a couple of the Japanese guests I'm vaguely interested in, but probably not enough to deal with the autograph lines >_>
01:06:23 [Cassian]Yeah
01:06:57 [nathanbp]hmm, they're still looking for volunteers, I feel like that is not a good sign >_>
01:07:08 [Cassian]Same
01:07:21 [Cassian]Vegas probably threw them off a lot this year
01:10:30 [nathanbp]oh yeah, I forgot about that
01:10:34 [nathanbp]any clue how that went?
01:11:10 [Cassian]It went pretty well for a first year con
01:11:22 [Cassian]But it was just a hallway
01:11:52 [nathanbp]lol
01:12:06 [Cassian]And $40 meals because Vegas prices
01:14:16 [nathanbp]I thought food was cheap in Vegas because they wanted you to stay for the casinos?
01:14:26 [Cassian]Nope
01:31:43 [nathanbp]hey, my coworker got one more piece I was missing. 3 more!
01:31:54 [Cassian]Yay!
03:11:36 [nathanbp]well, that was certainly a show (Brynhildr)
03:12:25 [nathanbp]it probably would have been better if they had 26 eps instead of squeezing into 13...
03:41:33 [Cassian]D:

23:26:48 [Cassian]Hey Nathan look at what you're missing at AX https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BrkrGm7CQAE2WBn.jpg
23:29:12 [nathanbp]wow
23:29:14 [nathanbp]uhhhh
23:29:17 [nathanbp]that's sure a thing
23:29:21 [Cassian]Yep
23:29:42 [Cassian]There's also a Gatchaman Crowds snowcone truck from Sentai this year
23:30:37 [nathanbp]that seems more cool than the SAO bus?
23:31:08 [Cassian]Yeah, there's at least effort in that one
23:31:31 [nathanbp]Clearly they should have an SAO truck selling guns >_>
23:31:36 [Cassian]LOL
