robotech_masterAs an aside…it's funny how things change.
In VisionCons of days gone by, the animé room would have been the main draw for me. My first couple VisionCons, I lived in that room, barely coming out at all. One con, I actually stepped in to run the room given the total lack of anybody else to do it. Back in the day, it was about the only way to get to see new animé without sending out for fansub VHS tapes. But now…I barely peeked in. Not to say I would have minded seeing some of the things they were showing…but animé has become easy enough to get in other ways (between DVD rentals and BitTorrent for fansubs) that there's no point in going out of my way. Plus, the lack of speakers in that room made the whole experience greatly subpar to what I could have at home.
