CAH was one of the things that immediately came to mind.

Seems like a great way to change the gaijin stigma.

What kind of games?

We’re thinking of trying to bring a couple of board games (nothing too big, and space permitting, of course) just to try and have some extra fun where we could.

We read the manga in the early ’00s and thought it was amazing (del ray release, not the tokyo pop one). We were initially a little worried about the adaption, but it’s shockingly good. It’s also been a lot of fun to sort of re-explore the series through the anime.

I remember one episode in particular… We knew it was coming, but had forgotten just how soon it takes places. It was kind of amazing to get that level of surprise again.

What brings you to the tour?:
My wife?
No, but I’ve had a standing appreciation for the kind of art/entertainment that either takes place in or uses Japan as overt inspiration for the thematic elements: cyberpunk, sprawl, endearing light pollution and adventure all come to mind.

Besides, I’ve never been a trip of this magnitude before and PacSet sort of made it pretty easy to go to a place that we both think of as mythic or special.

Looking forward to:
Gundam. Front.

What’s on your desk?:
Mega Size Zaku @ 85% completion, cutting mat, nippers, sanding sticks, Raspberry Pi emulator station, 20th Centruy Boys, Cards Against Humanity, and some applied statistics textbooks that I don’t want to talk much more about.

Recent Anime:
Parasyte is probably my fav of the most recent anime. Knights of Sidonia was also pretty good, but I follow the manga a bit more than the anime. Kill la Kill, Attack on Titan, Barakamon, Hozuki and MgRonald’s Devil were are pretty great, too.

Anything else?:
Heather’s (AppleCat) hubby. Looking forward to meeting everybody and have a good time…
