It seems to have everything but the anime itself. I don't want to diss this, but where's the beef?
ReplyDeletehi Sir B...you mean you are looking for something like an anime film festival?
ReplyDeleteI think so. I have a uneasy feeling that the kids are getting enamored by the fringes or sheen of them all, in the way we enjoyed singing "Dashing through the snow" when we don't have nor most of us will ever see snow. I don't know if I am making any sense her. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteok, I think I got the gist of what you may mean with that snow (or lack thereof) simile...
ReplyDeleteits very possible its like that...I'm guessing true-blue anime enthusiasts or even kids who just have particular favorites will be enjoying the offshoot activities ...like co-splay, or even the contests outlined here.
Since there are just so many anime characters, the organizers (and I am sorry if I made it initially sound as if this was an Animax event pala) have a free-for-all festival (kaya overload kc maski anong anime)...:-)
Oo nga. I am wary about us absorbing fragments of a culture without realizing the progeny of them all. Doon nagkakaroon ng dislocation.
ReplyDeletehay nako...Spanish convent and Hollywood...add more to the mix..pero wag sana Bollywood...
