Ahhh. Cosplay. I dont know what drives people to dress up as anime characters. If I went I would probably just wear a Naruto shirt. Razz

I am interested in the Bob versus Megabyte (Reboot) guitar cosplay showdown.

I may actually travel down the 401 to attend Fan Expo.

If not I can always settle for Ottawa International Animation Festival in September.

Very Happy

For those attending these guests, Crispin's recent anime dub airing on Sci-Fi is on Noein. At YouTube, there have been some funny outtakes from that anime series. For those that never seen the outtake clips should do so, unless the Fan Expo decides to have a special outtake blooper on English dubbings where there have been some funny, but mature themed lines that were by accident. Time codes were included.

I will attend the Fan Expo and will discuss with anime fans about the Future Of Anime and having them dubbed in English with the right staff members playing the roles of the characters.
We will see Death Note & The Familiar Of Zero in English dubbings and there will be a new series of Shana in October with another Familiar Of Zero series already airing in Japan.
Then there's other anime series that might be considered but not dubbed yet in English and if anyone has seen a 12 or 26-episode series, should it be dubbed in English if you like the series and who would you like to see doing the dub of which character?

I will also discuss on how some anime may not be suitable to young viewers. Those scenes include graphic/gun violence, nudity/women's underwear, coarse language and mature themes. The adult is responsible to show which anime is safe, which anime is OK to view at their own risk, or which anime should not be seen by young viewers.

So please don't be shy to ask or suggest what anime should viewers want to see. I'm sure something might happen if you support it.
