But I don't have anyone to go with so I won't.
-
Are these ppl who want to do Pikachu or what?
-
Pretty much.
-
You just want to go there to break everyone in half and steal the women.

Brent Allison is a well educated scholar at the University of Georgia in Atlanta, GA. He is presently working on his dissertation (A very long Academic letter showcasing his talents in his field) on Anime Fans in the United States. His paper is a study on how anime fans oick and choose the parts of Japanese Culture they learn from Anime and the beliefs about the Japanese that are created from selective learning process.
Brent will be giving us a lecture on how he sees anime fans from the perspective of a researcher looking at us as a group. You will also be able to discuss some of your ideas and thoughts with Mr. Allison.
For a better idea of what he is doing and who he is visit his website at www.animefandom.
org.
This is fucking hillarious. His professors must either love or despize him. Since I'm studying Japan in part (along with Korea, France, England and America) I am used to Japanese papers somehow incorporating Kenshin or some other anime bullshit, but to write a whole dissertation on it? Wow. I don't know why anyone would want to or how it could ever strengthen the field.
I suppose it's better than studying ghetto culture, though.

As if yiffing wasn't bad enough. Now we have to hear about oicking. :goddammit:
-
I enjoyed that spelling error.
I feel bad for the people who'd have to review this paper. I smell elitist weeaboo all about this mofugger.
-

Probably the latter, but probably with another two z's attached.
-
If you're ballsy enough to spend 4 years on that godawful subject, maybe the professors might like him, though knowing the state of the Asian studies in the American South (Florida being a sole exception) I doubt any of the faculty cares enough about modern Japan to understand the concept beyond what they'll read of this.
There is a book out there about this, but it's so horribly written that I bet it's going to be his primary source.
-
Your only recourse is to go to this anime con and write a rebuttal.
-
By write a rebuttal, do you mean get drunk and take a shit on the dissertation... you're on buddy.
-
Only if you do it in public. It's the only proper way.
-
Well why else would I bend an academic biscuit?
-
Do it at the convention while dressed as pikachu.
-
Pika....Pika....CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
*Plop* *Plop*
Ah.....pika.
-
Do it at the convention while dressed as pikachu.
Get me a pikachu costume and a liter of something, and I'd probably do it.
-
Devise some sort of battery pack for the lightning effect.
-
And once your done reaming that guy, go to public bathrooms, surprise people using the john, and yell "I peek at chu!" and run away.
-
I thought Koffing sounded like Timmy on South Park.
-
I AM going to Meg's Ass.
Though I'd rather go to Otakon because it's huge... the second largest con in the US.... 22000 people..... and it's awesome. Maybe next year.
-
I always disliked anime conventions.
-
I always liked this thread.
-
I always disliked lettuce.

I always disliked anime conventions.
Huh? Didn't you go to one as Miroku(sp?)?
-
The truth revealed.
-
Hey! I got an idea!
How aobut instead of going to an anime convention, you instead make your way to a dipshit-fuckface-cockwhore convention! :-[
You would fit right in there, you colon diver. :finger:
-
Let me know when you host the next one.
-
:razz: !
-
Is this preschool?
-
I hope so because I just ate my red crayon.
-
Is this preschool?
I don't know...are we dressing up as cartoon characters or not?
-
Could only get one day off of work for the con. Better than nothing I guess.
But even with 9-10 drivers, Fri and Sat are so busy that They need me badly! Oh noes! Even if no one else asks for those days off.
-
Did you know people do goofy skits in their cosplay costumes? Like doing the thriller dance dressed as the cast of naruto? I hear girls screaming in the crowd too. Is it possible that's getting them laid?
-
How do you know these are hot girls screaming? Or does it not matter?
-
I probably shouldn't be assuming that huh.
-
I've been to an anime convention -- no, you definitely should not.
-
:lol: I guess the second question is answered then.
-
I don't care I still wanna go. Also, A top modeling agency has agreed to represent me. I need to have my cards and/or head shots done and then it's pretty much on. I never thought I'd be getting by on just my looks. He said he could tell I've had some acting training and that I have a strong look. I don't have to sign an exclusive contract until he gets me a really big job. This agency takes 20% but I don't care I just wanna work and they seem to be really good at getting people work. Once I've been paid $1500 to sit around and have pictures taken of me I guess I will start going out to clubs alone (because I don't know if models make friends at work) and other models will flock to be near me because I'm a model...you know what I mean.
-
Well models make love to the camera. You already have that part down.

He is gonna rape and rob you.
Plus models only date sports stars.
-
Rutgers University's female basketball team has a fine selection of nappy-headed hos to choose from.
-
But I'm really an actor so other models might date me.

Here's another anime con I won't be attending because tom-derrick refuses to don his miroku outfit.

LMAO!
There is a creepy 40 year old dude who hangs out at the anime club, who gravitates towards the young girls (He's like 40, balding, and has a body of lard) and all he does is ask if we're going to that thing.
-
I'm surprised he just doesn't go by himself. He's already creeping around on the small scale. Why not just go for the gusto and be creepy fat guy at a convention full of young broads.
Does your anime club cosplay as a group at things like that?
-
At parties.
-
but no going as a group to cons and winning glory for the fiu anime club?
I need to join up with a crew that does that sort of shit so I can find threads in /cgl/ about me having a triple kiss as kenshiro with 2 chicks at the dance/rave before vomiting all over them.
-
They do. I don't.
They have their own con in the summer at the Micosuke Casino. I've never been, though I am fairly certain it's not as fun as it should be.
