It's been about a year and a half since I posted here. I suppose I should correct that.
This weekend I went to my first full anime convention, ACEN, and it was really fun. I see why people do it so often. There's just always something going on, something fun to do. I went to a few panels (including two hosted by Crispin Freeman), walked around a lot looking at the vendors, made use of the manga library they had on site (which was a really cool feature), and spent a good two and a half hours at least in the AMV screening room. Because I love me some AMVs, and I honestly could have stayed in that room all day if there wasn't other stuff going on. I really want to make more AMVs myself as soon as possible, but I'm having a problem finding software that will work on my computer currently...but, that's a different topic.
I was able to be frugal with my spending throughout the three days - the only thing I bought from the vendors was the DVD set of Kino's Journey, a show I haven't yet seen but deemed worth buying and owning from all I hear about it. I plan to watch it sometime relatively soon. Though, it doesn't help that I have a few shows to catch up on as it is... I've been pretty bad with my anime watching lately. Currently I have more than half of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure season 4 to watch, 20 episodes left of Yugioh Arc V, and I am now slightly behind on the airing Attack on Titan season 2 and Eccentric Family season 2. Long story short, I'm not the best at keeping up with airing anime. Maybe I'll improve eventually.
