I can't believe someone actually tried to bring up the CD destruction from a while back.
Not the right place for that at all. Most of the other questions and answers were pretty great though!

Woot for mentioning Eternal Sonata! I would have asked her to do one of her special attack lines had I been the interviewer. :D

Now I'm wondering which Katja-sama line she said. Would have loved to hear that. She's got a lot of great perverted lines.

The entire audience was shocked too and we all screamed noooo when the translator asked if he should ask that. But anyways Aya was really adorable at her Q/A and gave a great concert. My appreciation for her definitely grew after the con. |

I would have loved to have gone to the Q&A, but the incompetent Otakon staff rescheduled it for an earlier time than indicated on the printed out schedule, so I missed it.
At least I made her concert. But of course, the incompetent Otakon staff likewise prevented me from getting her autograph because they misdirected me towards the wrong area to stand in line. Love Aya Hirano. Hate Otakon staff. |

More like they need to drag their series for hundreds of episodes.
Oh please, just leave all of them single. They're all way too immature for this kind of stuff. Besides, Lucy's boobs are everyone's property; things never stop growing! |

If Lucy hooked up with someone the fanservice might go away.
We can't let that happen. |

Sorry you got misdirected...though the post concert autograph lines are usually in the same place. I'll speak to the main events staff to find out what happened. This is the first I have heard of an issue with her signing. For what it is worth, the reason Hirano-san's schedule had to change was that her rehearsal time was tied to the arrival time of her backing band. It was unavoidable to reschedule it when their timing changed, which was after the schedule was printed. As always, however, we posted schedule changes in the relevant locations, and the online and guidebook versions were updated within minutes of determining the change had to be made. We hate schedule changes too. |

The issue was, I was right near the inside wall where the line was formed, but staffers kept pointing in different directions, because I think some of them didn't know where the sign for the end of the line was, and a couple of them had me going in a circle around the room while people were still filing out and/or getting in line. Then when I finally did get in line it was almost at the very end, even though if I had stayed where I was to begin with I would have been at the start of the line. Listening to the staff's directions led me to be in the cut-off point, and from what I understand, after I was dismissed with others, the session was extended.
If it were the one time something like that happened to me at the con, it'd be easier to accept. But it was the third time I failed to get an autograph, despite being in the right places. With Brina Palencia, it was because the people getting autographs were wasting time with chit-chat and with Tetsuya Kakihara it was because of the 100 autograph limit. This despite me getting to each signing at least an hour early. I stood in line for Aya's concert for two hours and was one of the first people in line. They should have made that the line for autographs as well. I put in the time, I should have received something for the effort. Aya Hirano was the main event for me at Otakon. If anything, I was going to get her to sign something for me, and it was disappointing that I not only didn't get her autograph, but none whatsoever because of various mishaps. But the concert itself was very good and I realize I should probably be more appreciative for that, at least. |

I recognized that guy; he sat next to me at another panel earlier. At that panel, he took up 1/3 of the space of the seat I was sitting in (which I did not appreciate).
It was requested that there be no pictures or videotaping, so certainly we all respected those wishes. |

That's really surprising, as her visit to Taiwan last year had no such restriction. |

For me it would have to be Earth Growth, because it always sounds to me like "Arse Gross!". |

Sounds like it was a very interesting panel. Plus, she has cats, which is always a win in my book.
Being a little nit picky, but Avril is Canadian. |
