Mr Desutoid invades AnimeMatsuri! Yes, Mr Desutoid.[Final Version with MOAR TEXT]
 by Redzie on 03.25.2008      20 comments




AnimeMatsuri, which happened this past easter weekend in Houston, has left me dead tired. But it was one hell of a time. I got to hang out with the coolest people EVAR.


Yes that is Destructoid's very own Dale North, who is also EDiC of Japanator.com, with English Dub Voice actor EXTRAordinaire John Martone, also a contributor to Japanator.com. Here they enjoy a touching moment with sushi. A penis fight ensued later or before this, Im just glad I wasn't there. Here's link to it.


I met up with the good Folks from Destructoid's sister site, Japanator. I even ran around pimping both Destructoid and Japanator whenever somebody asked about my costume. I present to you my Cosplay that I rocked at a convention for the Japanimation:

I name thee, MR DESUTOID!!!






The helmet creation is a trade secret for me. I plan to make a new version for A-Kon (which I will blog about), but it will be expensive and if only I got a 3-day pass to A-Kon for *cough*FREE*cough*. This was about when I met the Dale and the gang. I only recognized Dale cause I've stalked seen him on Destructoid. I recognized John and Gia by their voices and Tim, who posts on CBlogs is just a cool dude. We chatted a bit and went over to the opening Ceremonies where Dale took video of Vic McNugent all throughout. Then went up to their room and had a few beers. The experience was surreal and I couldn't help but watch them, it felt like a live-action Podtoid-San.

We hung out at their hotel room and geeked out about all things geek. More hentai stuff happened with one of the people in the group whom I shall not name. Shortly after that, I carted the gang over to dinner at Benihana's. We went to a hibachi table and enjoyed dinner where I learned more about the people at my favorite blogs.
Me with the John and Dale at Benihana:



The pic we used for the flyer (That's Tim with my helmet):

After dinner we went over to get flyers at FedEx Kinko where Gia had a stalker. That's FedEx Kinko's at WOODLANDS, TX MMKAY? After that we took a walk to the Best Buy close by where we geeked out in public even more and picked up prizes to give out at the Japanator morning panel. On the way back we dropped by HEB to pick some more intoxicants. On the way to a parking spot I saw a posse of Japanese people who I recognized as Bespa Kumamero one of the Japanese Artists at the convention. I gave them a quick awkward "Konbanwa" which they replied with another "Konbanwa". We get beer and head back to hotel for further chilling and blogging. After planning stuff, the rest head down to the Jacuzzi while I went to rendezvous with a girl I met earlier. John calls me up and we get ready to record a segment fot podtoid-san 53 with Marc Pedrogosa. At around midnight I had to leave and I couldn't join the rest of the gang for more partyi---er, I mean blogging.

The next day was great. I got back to join them for the Japanator morning panel where gave out prizes and showed them horrificly hilarious videos on Japanator. After the panel we head promptly to some Anime Speed Dating
Where I met all kinds of girls who like anime, all kinds of fans (even those who can do nerdcore)Here is Mr Desutoid trying to find "The One":


After the speed dating I parted with the group once again because of a cute asian girl while they grabbed lunch. A bit later I ended up at the Nirgilis panel and I learned that people are stupid and make up stupid questions. I rejoined the gang for the fashion show where a many cute asian girls walked the stage, and some boys who looked like girls. After the fashion show I had to part ways with the gang for good cause I had to go to megabirthday party. Im glad to have Destructoid which begat Japanator and those who blog on it. I am glad that the internet isn't just filled with idiots. Thank you, Niero.

Better late than never, nobody gave me heads up but here it is:

Awesome!
Is it jsut a cosplay thing or do they announce things there too (like new trigun animated film coming next year or new TTGL movie coming soon :D)

@justice
It was an anime convention where they had cosplay and other anime-related and Japanese Culture activities. There weren't much industry panels except just voice actors like Vic Mcnugget and the like. Sadly, no ADV present (they have TTGL license in the US) which made me and Jtor crew sad.

It looks like cheap cosplay but its crudeness represents the fan that just wants to dress up as their hero.

My name is Red. My gaming roots consisted of me watching my cousins
play games on the famicom from 9 in the morning til 3. Then I had to
go away to the land of sand where I was trained to be a ninja of the
sand to fight terrorism. My training consisted of the Sega Megadrive
which came prepackaged with AlienStorm, which was once dubbed as
"Showgirls of video games" by the Concelmo. Later on I moved on to
the Playstation. Due to my limited funding and due to game publishers
in the US not caring about Ninjas training in the sand like me,
I resorted to black market alternatives. My great gaming memories
consisted of pirated games which I had plentiful of due to the lack
of giving a damn by the local authorities. All those games kept me
sane in the desert wasteland. I was a prisoner in my own ninja fortress.
Then all my training was for naught when the US military beat me to
my ultimate mission: CAPTURE SADDAM HUSSEIN. But then they discovered
that he was an impostor. Intelligence reports point out that he is where
I am stationed now: TEXAS. My mission continues on.
You have read this, you shall be exterminated.

AWESOME ART but not by me:


I lost one of these at OniCon 2007 Houston
