UlasanAnime.com – Day 1 of Otakon 2013 was largely successful, despite a significant bottleneck at the ticket line for the Yoko Kanno/Chiaki Ishikawa event, where 600 people vied for only 350 spots.
The overall experience was described as “mindblowing.”
The author reconnected with many Twitter followers who were attending the convention from Day 0 and Day 1.
A panel featuring the author and WAH is scheduled to take place in BCC, Panel 4, at 7:30 PM on Saturday. Dave Cabrera from Kawaiikochan, who will be contributing game content, is also slated to appear, as the author and WAH are not avid gamers.
Yoko Kanno maintained her enigmatic presence. There was a desire for more iM@S content. An amusing anecdote involved a blog reader approaching a friend dressed in iM@S gear, mistaking him for someone named “omo,” highlighting a sense of global unity, or “UNITY MIND.”
The OreImo panel was enjoyable, and the author expressed satisfaction in having completed it, noting that the anime adaptation still retained the emotional impact of its source material.
