Dealers Room Excursion
animenext:
The Dealers Room and the Manga Library open now at 10:00am
Narutaki:
A little dealers room action then over to history of manga.
Greg:
Doh. Someone bought used vol. 1 of Initial D manga before me. Maybe staggering purchases across 3 days wasn’t such a good idea.
Scott:
Shut up, just shut up. You had me at, “boobs”.
Scott:
It’s so moé that you can practically hear her crying, “oni-chaaaan!”
Scott:
There are so many figures for the obscure Chocotto Sister.
Scott:
Either it’s because of the ecchi cover or because of the Neko Nyan Dance.
Narutaki:
Dealers arent makin deals! No 1/100 aegis for me this con.
Scott:
The only thing I bought in the dealers room. The power of Nekomimi Mode was too strong. (>_<)
Kim:
One last trip to the dealers room put me down $40.

This otaku misconceptions panel is a little all over the place.

Ani-Bloggers
Scott:
Boy, AnimeNEXT kinda screwed up with the Anime Blogging panel.
Narutaki:
Waiting for the blog panel to start.
Scott:
Yeah, AnimeNEXT REALLY screwed up this Anime Bloggers panel. The only folks here are other bloggers.

@Scott I call shenanigans!
