There was also practically zero signage directing people so there were constant traffic jams near the front of the convention center of people asking all kinds of questions about where to go. Seems like resources weren't allocated to what actually mattered or something, but in any case it was a massive bummer. And they didn't seem understaffed either because my one friend who did wait it out said there were a bunch of volunteers or employees or whatever basically just chilling/being greeters. Pretty much every other event I've gone to post- vaccine has people going down the line and doing it that way while people are waiting for their badges/tickets/just to get into the show. It seems like they were only doing vaccine checks at the very front of the line which is massively inefficient. Just a shame I had to go to the Fyre Festival of anime cons as my first pandemic-era one. Surely, when he visited the Ghibli shop in Tokyo, we bought the Sheeta’s small blue. It is a theme Seiko Presage which has developed a strong watchmaking identity by combining Japanese aesthetics with traditional craftsmanship is also familiar with. How many times did our child watch Castle in the Sky, we can’t count the number of times any more, but every time he watches it, he is freshly fascinated with the world of Laputa. Released in 1986, Studio Ghibli’s maiden production Laputa: Castle in the Sky centres around the transformative power of forging one’s path in the face of adversity and challenges.
I'm not even THAT into VTubers (mostly watch clips, rarely streams) but the IRL panels always seem like a good time. Our favourite Ghibli movie 'Castle in the Sky' is now on Netflix. I've been to plenty of cons and rarely is the wait more than 45 minutes to an hour to get in even at peak hours so plenty of other cosplayers were getting fed up/freezing too.Īt that point it was close to the panel time and we were nowhere near the front of the line so we bailed. 2 hour drive followed by waiting in a 3.5 hour line just to check vaccine cards, ending with my friend who was cosplaying and not prepared for the cold literally crying. I bought a 1-day ticket to tag along with friends and catch the HoloCouncil panel. Just chiming in to say that AnimeNYC was a complete disorganized shitshow.
