Anime North

[Technomancer]

Well, I just got back from Anime North. It was a real blast, although sadly I couldn't find a copy of the Ghost in the Shell 2 soundtrack anywhere. Despite this, it was definately a fun trip. A few highlights for the interested:

Full Metal Fantasy- If this shows up at your con, go and see it- it's really a hoot. Basically, the English voice talent for the show got together for a lark and made a live-action version of sorts. It's not done with any seriousness but is a lot of fun to watch.

Worst Toon Ever- This was a mystery showing, so how could I resist? The title turned out to be "Titantic: The Legend Continues", and it really was a god-awful trainwreck of a film. Blatant copyright infringements, hopelessy illogical plotlines, and a completely inappropriate, out-of-the-blue rap sequence all combine to make a really, really bad show. Very funny. Go see this and inflict it on your friends.

Xerxes Tireiron Dada- This was actually the name of a major anime villain in one of "the worst of" screenings. Best. Name. Ever.

AMV's A bit of a disappointment actually. There were a few good ones, and a lot of mediocre ones. PS. All Pandas Must Die.
