Good Evening once again, Boys and Girls of all ages. It's that time, or coming around to that time again! Something funky seems to be going down at ImageShack, but hopefully that clears up before Greg starts hitting me with some pictures. In any event…Let us begin day 2, eh?
Greg says that the weather is "Awful Tempo." He is arriving at the Convention Hall as we...read.
Greg: "The Line to get in is pretty crazy today" but he's in.
Greg dedicates this next picture to Carter.
There's a huge line to take a picture with the Cosplayers in the first photo. Greg surmises they must be famous or something.
He's got video of DBZ Burst and the One Piece Carddass game. News for Unlimited Cruise people: Brooke has made it in!
The 600 millimeter Chopper comes with a Mushroom and a Backpack.
He got in line to play DBZ Burst Limit: It's only a 20 minute wait.
Greg: "Words fail to describe the graphics. It's a DBZ fan's dream-come-true. The in-game graphics look better than the character select screen drawings. Attacks can send opponents into new areas."
I got two cryptic messages next to each other, the first of which being "I'm next" and the last of which being "F*ck me." Any guesses?
Moving on, it seems like something serious is preparing to go down at the Toei booth. It turns out that the crowd has been waiting for the One Piece show since Noon (The show is 3:30 to 4:20 according to the 2nd Page). The Voice Actors will show up, probably Luffy. Greg can't think of anything better to do, so he's gonna wait as well.
Mr. Redon, if you're still keeping with us, Greg has caught a little bit about Saint Seiya. There's a trailer but it's cut into parts and its very confusing for someone who doesn't watch the series himself. Pegasus Forever is the theme, and something about the "Hades Elysium Arc." As far as he can tell, Seiya wakes up in a field and says "Elysium?!" Does that ring any bells?
Greg: "This has been my life for the past 10 minutes…"
Greg: "…And it will be for 20 more. There's some godawful poppy crooning coming from the Bandai booth too...No, wait. They're seating 10 minutes early! Yahoo! 8 minutes to go."
They want everyone to put on a fake black 'stache in the middle of the presentation to fool the Voice Actors. Greg has opted to keep his dignity.
They were 3 minutes late in the seating, and the stage show is made of the same characters from yesterday and last year.
Franky spoke up first and the crowd went nuts. The crew has an arguement about the title of the new movie for a bit, each thinking that it centers around themselves.
Now the Voice Actors approach the stage! Luffy leads the pack, seconded by Nami. The announcer screws up Sanji's intro, but he's on! Usopp comes next. Franky in fifth, and now he has the Franky hairdo; the crowd goes apeshit over it.
Franky pointed out someone that was filming the stage show and told them to go home. (That jerk.)
Luffy thinks that Franky is drunk from last night, since Franky woke up surrounded by bottles. Franky defends by saying he got drowsy in the taxi.
Marubatsu Quiz! Unrehearsed by the VAs, it is lead by Franky quizzing the other Voice Actors.
Evidently Sanji wanted to be a Belt Train Driver. He collected train stuff and enjoyed photography. He could name the Belt Train's first stop on the Tokaido line.
Sanji likes trains.
Yeah.
He did his impression of a Train Driver Announcer. The rest of the cast decided Sanji's probably drunk too.
They decided to quiz the announcer next. (Greg: "Boring.") Franky and Usopp are teasing the crap out of her.
Nami can drink a lot. She loves sake, but in her defense...she left the party last night at midnight. Nami claims to be able to drink and remain in control still. (Greg: "Please let this insanity end...")
Everyone wanted her to sing, so she performed some cutesy little song. They moved onto Luffy, who is acting like a dumb blond.
Luffy seems like she's been in the drink as well. She asked Franky to take his pants off and told Nami to help. Then she did it. He's wearing a Speedo under there.
Moving onto Usopp...The Audience played the Mustache joke on him. He sung a bit with the Stache on, from the Crew Part of the Main theme to the SG part. Greg said it was pretty good!
Then he asked Franky if he was Bi. He isn't.
Usopp had everyone do a Robin Attack by waving their hands together. He was the best part of the show surprisingly. Zoro was supposed to be present but he was seriously hung over, according to Franky.
The show's over, and Greg is pretty bored. He doesn't want to line up at the Square-Enix booth for three hours to play a game for ten minutes. It's way more packed today than it was yesterday; they're in there like sardines even in the crappy areas.
He figured out why this is. Sasuke (Naruto?) is on the stage and reading lines for the fans.
Greg: "That embarassing One Piece presentation has raped and murdered my Christmas spirit. Still bored, so I'll take this time to say that the 2nd Day One Piece stage tends to be more grand but at the same time more party-ish so it may not have much info. They'll probably sing "The Blue Nosed Reindeer" and Oda will probably eff around with the Confetti Releasing Button like he normally does."
There are One Piece Bento boxes for sale, but the line is insane and they will never come close to filling his vacuous stomach.
And he's still bored.
Greg: "I'm gonna go blank for a while to save on my cell battery; I don't foresee anything ground breaking happening.
The next event is in exactly two hours."
I'll probably start a new post when that happens…This one is getting kind of long.
...Okay, so we both lied. I didn't start a new post, and Greg is still reporting in.
He's lined up for the Bleach show, and he's more or less where he was yesterday. When the crowd leaves, Greg's gonna try and get closer. No pictures of the Bleach event. He'll try at the One Piece event if the oppurtunity arises.
Greg: "Being here among them, I realize that Bleach fans are kind of squeal-y and obnoxious. By the sound of it, there are two giant mice right behind me."
Me: "Hah...Hey, I'm kind of a Bleach fan."
Greg: "Me too. But we're male and raised in America."
LOL @ Greg and the cosplay. Love the Reborn stuff~
why is that picture dedicated to me
what did I do to deserve this
He got in line to play DBZ Burst Limit: It's only a 20 minute wait.
Greg: "Words fail to describe the graphics. It's a DBZ fan's dream-come-true. The in-game graphics look better than the character select screen drawings. Attacks can send opponents into new areas."
That was in the Budokai games, too.
….
:(
We knew Brook would be in Unlimited Cruise but I hope Greg says if he's playable in the story/adventure mode. DBZ Blast Limit is sounding better and better. I thought it would be a crappy game but it sounds so awesome. Hurray for Greg!

Well, there is that awesome Yammy cosplay.
Considering you're one of the few actual Yammy fans here, maybe Greg knew?

You hit the nail on the head, Mr. Food. Greg "figured he'd like the Yammy. (^o^)"
What's the HxH presence like this year, if any? The return was hugely positive, and the Japanese net fanbase is colossal, was there much going in regards to that?
Any good Morau cosplay?
You hit the nail on the head, Mr. Food. Greg "figured he'd like the Yammy. (^o^)"
Ha, that's neat.
I'm not really one for cosplays, but some of those actually look better than I expected.
@Battle:
Any good Morau cosplay?
Oh god please no.
I'm kinda happy that that shit doesn't happen to Hunter often. (At least not the cool characters AKA not Ryodan.)
Let's keep it that way.
Wha, you wouldn't want to see someone nail Morau, complete with huge ass pipe?
(I should rephrase that)
Anyone who makes a good-looking version of Morau's giant pipe and totes the thing around at a con is awesome in my book.
Fuck the pipe.
Just get someone to nail down that awesomely hideous chin.
Chin? I'd think his schnoz would be the real challenge, also that hairline might prove difficult.

It was more defined during his early appearances.
But, ya….that fucking nose.
...uh, the One Piece card game sounds neat. (On-topicnesss.)

Hey, I saw those cosplayers at Otakon…
Anyway, I'm really jealous of Greg... I'd have loved to have been there to see all of that cool shit. DBZ DS and One Piece card game sound good, but I'm most looking forward to the new Tales game.

Hey, You went to Otakon? Cool. So did I. Good to know I'm not the only crazy bastard here.
My eyes bulged and I started to kick a bit when there was a mention of "Kuma still being around somewhere" >w< Oh christ, Oda, you tease. D:
Something big next year? NYAH. I WANNA KNOW. D:
@Battle:

(I should rephrase that)
No.
Because they'd just end up looking like an asian in sunglasses.
I wouldn't mind seeing someone make the pipe at least though.
But let's face it: I don't think Morau fans are the type to cosplay
If there was any of Hunter, it'd be of Kuroro or Feitan or someone gay like that.
In fact, the only Hunter cosplay I've ever seen was of Kuroro.
He got in line to play DBZ Burst Limit: It's only a 20 minute wait.
Greg: "Words fail to describe the graphics. It's a DBZ fan's dream-come-true. The in-game graphics look better than the character select screen drawings. Attacks can send opponents into new areas."
Man, the more I hear about this game, the more I wanna play it!
Thanks for the info!

The mention of Kuma is relating to something which we all already have access to…I don't want to say too much incase someone minds, but...yeah.
It was an awesome chapter.
HINT HINT
Okay, Greg is reporting in a bit on the Bleach show. So I'll start a new post about that.
Greg: "The Hitsugaya VA is kind of annoying; she puts up a really rough and demanding attitude to the others. Renji's VA is really cheerful.
She is seriously an annoying showoff B*tch. I'll explain in detail when I can post.
He just drew Grimmjaw live. It was badass."
The Bleach event is over! Greg has squeezed his way closer and aside from one tall guy, there's a good view.
Estimated Time Of Show: 22 Minutes.
Greg says that since he's flying solo, it might get a little bit crazy. Regardless…
There's an insane amount of people attending the show! The intro is the same as yesterday, and contrary to the earlier show...Zoro is here, and contrary to yesterday...
Chopper is here! Robin is here!
The theme of today is School Time and everyone is dressed appropriately!
Franky has switched into Mr. 2 Bon Clay instead.
There's no Shanks this time, but Oda himself has appeared with a chalkboard and a hot pink wig, introducing himself at Shanks. He says that the only reason he'd ever dress like this is for 10 years.
(We got some stuff wrong!)
The Crew has been split into groups, and each group has three minutes to present their research projects to everyone. The four groups are: Franky and Robin, Usopp and Luffy, Zoro and Sanji, and Chopper and Nami.
The first group, Franky and Robin, spoke about the events of One Piece for the year.
Usopp makes some complaint that they don't show any research, they just narrated some junk. Him and Franky get gassed.
Zoro and Sanji talks about the history of the Voice Actors.
They go to Oda's house to have Hotpot parties!
There's a bit that Greg has some trouble explaining quickly, but it sounds like they compared the original Robin to the replacement Robin. They ignored her until showing the video and she was extremely happy.
Oda says their presentation was very moving. They pass.
Chopper and Nami are next, and they just show the new movie trailer.
Oda says that Wapol's brother is his own idea, and he asked that it be put into the movie.
They passed. Then he gasses Franky, Luffy, Usopp, and Robin (Not Robin!) They complain, and then he just gasses everyone.
Luffy and Usopp are up now (Sorry about the confusion) and they're talking about what will happen, but it turns out to be more of what they want to happen.
Usopp thinks they'll go to Song Island and make a band!
Luffy says they'll go to Toonsen.
Usopp says they'll go to Hawaii.
Insanity follows.
Afterwards, everyone makes a wish for One Piece.
Now, they're all saying Good-Bye one by one.
This next part I'm having a bit of trouble with…Specifically something abbreviated as "btty" but it sounds as if there was supposed to be a new song about the Sunny by a dying Mugiwara member.
I'm sleepy, but I need to know everything….
So, the One Piece show is going on now?

If the speed at which Greg is firing text messages at me, and I'm scrambling to decode them and put them up…I sure hope it is.

- Franky wants everyone to Cosplay.
- Robin wants Robin to buy a pet.
- Luffy wants Erodebusu (?).
- Chopper wants Cotton Candy.
- Nami wants to get rich.
- Zoro wants Ossan, Tre, and Unicorn to join.
Now, they're all saying Good-Bye one by one.

OMG, if you have done it for my, thank you very much for it and I wait with desire the material that you had obtained .
On One Piece, I believe that this article is more complete that I have seen in Internet about that Event
A song about Sunny by a dying Strawhat? A Sunny song sung by Merry's voice actor? (tho Merry isn't dying, she already IS dead)
GAh wounder if he took pics when it was School TIme.
Pics? I want video of the bitch! Tho I'm not so sure if Greg brought his camera today.
A song about Sunny by a dying Strawhat? A Sunny song sung by Merry's voice actor? (tho Merry isn't dying, she already IS dead)
You mean he, lolz
You generally refer to ships and such as "she". I could care less about the little ghost fella with a hammer.
Day 2 didn't seem as interesting
Thanks for the summary though Taiar
Zommari cosplayer had me laughing. Brown paint. haha
Nice! I wish I had been there. XD
I am still very excited. And thats pretty funny that Oda was Shanks. XD Hot pink wig, eh?
Much thanks to Taiar and Greg for providing this.
Greg: "The Hitsugaya VA is kind of annoying; she puts up a really rough and demanding attitude to the others. Renji's VA is really cheerful.
She is seriously an annoying showoff B*tch. I'll explain in detail when I can post.
Crosses fingers for page-long, angry, Greg soapbox.
Hi guys. I have a free hour but that wouldn't be nearly enough time to write all that needs to be written.
Again, I'm not reading posts to avoid spoilers and I apologize for that yet again but your wait will be worth it I assure you.
Reading Taiar's great summary, I can see there are a number of misconceptions which is no fault of his own. I sent him rapid fire mails that looked a little bit something like:
mnky btsx dpr n th tme fr hmr nl hllgh crnz
So I will detail everything.
What I can say now is that the second day, overall, was a letdown but what second day of a con could possibly beat the first? However, watching Franky's VA practically sexually harrass the announcer of the small stage event was just disturbing and I really wasn't too thrilled with that. Again, maybe I'm making it sound worse than it was, you be the judge.
However, everyone dressed as Class 3-SEA was epic.
Your patience is appreciated and I will have up many movies in the next few days.
Yes, including some brief shakey video footage of the Class 3-SEA stage event.
Terrible signature
Y'know, I put up with your general crude attitude across this forum all the time, but I'd like to say this really is dancing on the line.
Greg has made it quite clear that he is in the process of a fairly big step in his life; something I'd expect most of us, if we have an opinion on it at all, to be happy for him.
And you have to go beef about his graphic design?
You're a real class act, Carter.
We were all awaiting your inevitable comment about Greg's signature Carter. ;)
This is all pretty awesome, especially the bit about Oda making his entrance, which sounds…Oda-y. I'm also interested in Franky's character single thing, what's it like?
Some guy with an afro was dancing.
best part of the show was the best part of the show
Carter, I know you get a kick out of being an asshole….but yeah, you can go fuck yourself.
We look forward to the info, Greg! Thanks as always and goodluck!
Taking Carter's posts seriously?
I think thats his way of pointing it out and saying congratulations.
Maybe I'm reading into shit too much?
I'll wait patiently for the summary of day 2.
That signature of Greg's is really cute. I like it.
Taking Carter's posts seriously?
I think thats his way of pointing it out and saying congratulations.
Maybe I'm reading into shit too much?
No I think you have it right. You'd think those two would know that since they've been here so long.
Anyway, thanks for the summary for this day. Maybe we'll get lucky and see some pictures? Oh yeah, and congratulations omae.
I think we'll see more than just pictures. ;)
Don't expect it too soon though, it was after all a big ass day for Greg.
Of which, congratulations to you Greg.
Taking Carter's posts seriously?
I think thats his way of pointing it out and saying congratulations.
Maybe I'm reading into shit too much?
That's how I interpreted it too.
Anyway, looking forward to the rest Greg.
yeah carter you ruined everyones day
Thanks for the info Greg, and congrats. Hard to imagine the webmaster of Ultimate DBZ gettin' hitched.
