kristensk: FMA - Ed is all fired up. (FMA - Ed Fired Up)

Ah, it's that time again. [livejournal.com profile] seekersks and I have once again signed up for Otakon! Sadly, this year it's at the end of July, which means waiting to pick up our badges on Thursday afternoon will probably be like standing inside an oven. Ah, well. As is the norm for this early in the game, there aren't a lot of guests or events officially announced just yet. But, I see that "Jordanna's Ed", Vic Mignogna, is already on the guest list. Shame there's nothing in the FMA:B soundtrack to cajole him into singing (and why couldn't "Bratja/Brothers" be re-used in FMA:B? Or a new ballad for the brothers?). But, maybe he'll have some funny stories from the recording process.

In other fangirly news, FMA:B is moving into the final battle. Episode 50 just made me want to stand up and cheer as some familiar faces showed up again after a long absence and we began the prelude to some really awesome action. Yes, I know from the manga things are going to go south soon, but the tide is already turning in the most recent manga chapter, so I'm just going to enjoy the ride.

And, my plans for tonight are to sit down with the final three episodes of Inuyasha. Yes, I stopped watching it weekly so I could see the end all at once. "Final Act" has improved in leaps and bounds since its rocky beginning, so I expect to be a very happy fangirl by the end. But, a sad one too. Because this is it. The manga has ended, now the anime adaptation will have ended. ::sniffle:: No more Inuyasha. Hmm... I wonder if they've considered doing another movie. ....What? The fangirl needs more of her fix.

Well, admittedly, you might have to compete with a lot of crazed fangirls to make that claim too publicly ;)

I've seen him before as he tends to be a regular face at Otakon. And, my brother and I probably like the voice actor question and answer sessions best of all.

Meh. There are way too many financial, familial, and assorted other reasons for why me + anime con is... well, just plain not something that will happen.

::chuckles:: Given FMA is your only anime fandom, I didn't think it would be something for you. But, in my case, it makes for a nice vacation all of my immediate family can enjoy. My brother and I take in the convention, and then Mom and I check out Baltimore. (And, thank goodness I talked Mom into joining us because it took two trips to drag my brother farther than the Burger King across from the convention center. I live in a town that lacks even a bookstore; a city like Baltimore is something that must be explored. That and I get really tired of burgers for every meal.)

A friend of mine is very fond of Baltimore, and it sounds like an interesting place. I don't think I'd be much of a traveler even if I could afford it, though.

Orlando has become a ridiculously big and sprawling city, and lots of stuff goes on here--but not generally in my other [old-and-obscure] fields of interest.
