Only stayed for half the pannel cuz we had to leave back home, but out of all the other pannels we visited it was the only one that was legitimately interesting and on-topic lmao. Good job guys. Room was bigger than last year, but still not enough it seems. This is good news for Touhou in Toronto, means there's a dumpload of interest. Hopefully next year it'll be like last time on a friday so we're not caught on a late sunday morning when erryone's gone or leaving haha.

also mad props for setting up pop'n :3 hope your games weren't too badly water damaged, that was of poor taste.

I'll ask Fingers personally (at the next AN staff meeting) to have a bigger room and a longer time slot for next year.
Also, thanks! It was a good idea to bring pop'n after all. I've never seen so much traffic for such an obscure game (due to new interest + people that had experience w/ popn games). Definitely bringing it back next year.

Also, about the water damage, it honestly didn't seem as bad as I thought it would be. When I went home, the damages were hardly visible after drying up.

man that guy who came in all the time was an asshole lmao

White guy w/ the glasses that escorted me to the front of the panel? Yeah, that's Chris. He's really strict w/ rules and stuff so of course he's going to come off as an asshole. :3
Haha yeah he told me because I guess one of the panellists didn't say much.


I am the guy that said little to nothing on the panel. Sorry about that. I guess the fact that I was really tired at the time (+ no one wants to really talk about gameplay as much) prevented me from saying anything of significance. XD

I had more than one cosplay. The red shoes I wore for Remilia hurt my feet, so I started cosplaying as Koishi as a back up and her shoes didn't hurt my feet. And honestly I love Koishi waaaaay more than Remilia.

I sincerely wish you good luck on getting a bigger room. Unfortunately it seems that AN has hit its size limit, or is very close to it, considering the possibility of an attendance cap.

Also, I agree that longer time is needed. There were other things that weren't mentioned in the panel. I don't recall WaHH mentioned until the Shmups/TouhouHijackLol that lasted some hours. Then again, there were many things that occurred in the past year, including a copyright update.

Good thing there was the Shmups event after the Touhou panel which partly made up for the time constraint.


On a side note, 神々が恋した幻想郷 = The Gensokyo The Gods Loved.

I spy an Utena. *_*

We were supposed to have the Canadian premiere of Utena Remastered at the con, but that got cancelled for some reason and they just ran various Sailor Moon specials in that slot instead. There was also an Anthy earlier on, but I had to throw out that picture since it was blurry as hell.

Oh damn, I almost forgot about the remastered release. Should definitely set some pennies aside for that~

Still, nothin' wrong with Sailor Moon, either. :3c

Could have added to her creepiness factor, provided this is TV-series-Anthy we're talking about here. :P

I just loved how we organized the panel, met new people, and got an extra room to continue with all the goodies and Shmups.

I hope next year will be even more of a smashing success!

With that said, here's our MoTK group pic for AN2011, =3
