Lady Gaga x Crunchyroll
Haven’t been posting often as I used to, but man…where do we start?
I’m sure you have went to the Anime Fest @ NYCC which was supposed to be a part of Anime Expo. At first I thought this side con was going to be the biggest, most awful, most tragic moment in convention history as a dud turned out to be a fair and balanced convention.
One of the highlights that caught my attention was the schoolyard (LMAO). The Schoolyard section turned out to be a joke, but I’m glad that it was no DashCon as many people occupied themselves on the fake grass. Plus, they had activities going on from playing group games to doing yoga.
The panels for Anime Fest NYC were really lacking. While some stood out, others didn’t gain enough for audience attention. One panel showing a screening for Goblin Slayer wasn’t moderated as the show was intended for mature audiences, there were minors at the panel. Why didn’t they check people’s ID for this? And second of all (I want to watch this since its good for the first episode) the screening was in the afternoon. Yeah, what a problem indeed.
However, I know that Funimation had two panels and it did brought in crowds. It’s a saving grace for this con, but everything else was a hit or a miss.
The Cosplay Meetups were a drag. Barely any cosplayer would show up, being the exception of My Hero Academia. Majority of cosplayers would be back at Javits. While here at Pier 94, it was a total drag and there was barely any cosplayer showing up for the meetups.
I heard that some people had a hard time getting to this convention as its location was twenty blocks from the Javits Center (Pier 94). I read that one individual had to walk up from Javits just to get to Anime Fest whereas some people are mislead on information to board on a shuttle bus to get there too. I didn’t take the shuttle because I did not go to NYCC this year (I’ll give a reason).
Can I tell you how funny it was that there was no service in the ATMs at Pier 94? At Javits, there’s a row of ATM’s where you can withdraw cash. Here, there’s barely any as there was only two machines that are completely out of service lol
Artist Alley was still a great alley. However, a few people critique the alley as lacking compared to the Artists in NYCC. I wish that people should give these artists the respect that they deserve. These are the people that are fans that made these works and they put in time and effort on their masterpieces. I threw in money for at least three artists that stood out for me.
AnimeFest @ NYCC consists of 70% Anime content and 30% NYCC related content. The booths that you know of from VIZ, Kodansha, Funimation, Aniplex, Cruncyroll and other major names were all at Javits. Same goes for video game companies as Square Enix and Bandai Namco had demos for upcoming titles. It would be really nice that they should’ve made a mini booth for others to enjoy at Anime Fest. Too bad ReedPop did not thought of that sooner.
Despite all this, I had a fun time at AnimeFest over the weekend. While Cosplayers made the best effort on putting themselves out there, to the fun activities that are provided, this was a space that really needed improvement. I am sure that they’re taking their jealously over AnimeNYC, but hell, I am not paying $200 for four badges to be at New York Comic Con. Once you bring back three/four day badges, then we’ll talk.
AnimeNYC, here we come!

So, while randomly going through the Crunchyroll Dubs youtube channel, I stumbled across this debate over whether you should watch “Spy x Family” in dub or sub. The dub is great, but there was the usual band of assholes saying “sUb oNLy!!111!”. However, one user actually wrote that people should only watch the sub because the “right” way to watch anime is to watch in the “culturally accurate” way.
That argument is hilarious to me because, if you REALLY want to watch a culturally accurate “Spy x Family”, you’d watch it in the German dub. The show is based on Cold War-era East and West Germany and the capital city is literally called Berlint. Also, even without the German background, the English dub would be more culturally accurate since all the characters and setting are obviously European-based.
So in the pointless war of subs versus dubs, this is one instance where the dub side wins.
Dabi: “I just have a really strong pull to you I don’t know what it is.”
Me: “Really you feel it too?”
*Me with magnets secretly hidden in my pockets*
Me: “So weird :).”
Shigaraki: “Okay does anyone have any ideas on how to defeat AllMight?”
Me: “SEDUCE HIM!”
Dabi: “Y/N I SAID NO”
*Dabi and Hawks having a very intense battle to the death*
Toga: “You go Dabi! Fuck him up!”
Me: “Yeah Dabi fuck Hawks!!”
Toga: “…”
Hawks: “…”
Dabi: “You mean upright?”
Me: “That too!”
Me: “Dabi and I like to commit arson together.”
Shigaraki: “You too are the worst people to be dating I stfg”
Me: “Babe are you okay? You haven’t made a sex joke in about 5 hours?”
Dabi: “I don’t wanna talk about it.”
Dabi: “Idk how you’re a villain. You can barely open a pickle jar by yourself.”
Me: “I may not be able to open a jar but I can open up a can of whoop ass. *insert karate hands*”
Dabi: “I’m breaking up with you.”
Me: “BRING ME A DOCTOR PEPPER AND A BLUNT IMMEDIATELY. I’M DONE WITH THIS SHIT!”
Dabi: “What tf happened?”
Me: “NOTHING! LIFE IS GOING TOO WELL AND ITS FREAKING ME THE FUCK OUT.”
Toga: “Hey Y/N what made you so attracted to Dabi?”
Me: “Well first, I found him really funny-“
Shigaraki: “You laughed at a fart joke yesterday.”
Me: “Listen I never said I had a very advanced sense of humor okay?!”
Me tightly holding Toga in my arms: “I just want to make one thing clear. If anything ever happens to my poor, sweet, baby Toga. I’d kill everyone in here and then myself.”
Dabi: “Wtf what about me?”
Me: “Eh.”
Ouran is understandable, but it is tags like this that gives the false assumption that Fruits Basket is a reverse harem anime. Come on Crunchyroll! At least you were smart enough to also put Fruits Basket in the ‘strong female lead’ category, so you win points back for that one.
