Forget you, I'm getting him a cake! And a belly-dancer. And drugs, he need drugs. Oh, and maybe a gun. People love guns.
Anime Expo, CA [Early July]

No, Oda has a very good supplier already, obviously. He does not need our low-grade drugs. :)
-
What, are you trying to kill Oda, Rootbeer?
I'd just buy him a Coke. That's not food, anyway.
-
You're right, B1B. Japanese crack beats American crack.
Oda is a metahuman, Cosmy, and he is not fuelled the same way you normal humans are.
-
A Coke is always good. It's more proper to offer drinks anyway. Food is for fun.
-
I think I'd fine some amazing way of carting mass to see Oda. but I'd probably still never make it and be filled with amazing amounts of regret for the rest of my life.
its a pathetic really.
-
I want him to come to Otakon!
…and that certianly has nothing to do with the fact that I live about 30 minutes away from Balitmore :ninja:

This post is deleted!

I would love Oda to come to America. While it's hard for OP Wikia to analyze One Piece stuff in Japan, if he does come it would profit OP Wikia
-
For some reason I find it funny that that thread is all "yeah, Oda coming to AX would be totally cool, someone should get on that."
Even if Oda did make an appearance at a con I could feasibly go to (AX is on the coast opposite the one I live on), I doubt I'd actually be able to see him, what with the lines and everything. Of course, knowing he was there and I actually missed him would probably make me bitter for months, so…
Wait, why would anyone want to ask him questions about the dub? I mean... what would he know?
-
@Pass:

I know, that's why I would buy him Coke. I figure he's cola powered like Franky. This also depends of course, on whether the cukoo sings or not.
-
id love for him to come to otakon, mainly because im an east coaster and i may be moving to the maryland/delaware area in the summer >: \
man i'd just love to shake his hand and have him sign/doodle in my sketchbook. Also, i'd totally buy him a burger.
-
Wouldn't he be turned off by doing such cause he doesn't know english? Now I'm sure tons of mangaka which come to the states don't either, but..
-
I have a feeling most of the Japanese guests don't speak English, or at least well enough to feel comfortable doing so in a room full of Americans. I'm sure they have translators for this sort of thing.
-
They do have translators for this sort of thing.
-
Yeah, most mangaka I've seen as guests don't speak any English, they have a translator at their side translating for them.
Heh, not many people knew about it, but I saw Trigun's creator Yasuhiro Nightow at some little, wacky obscure panel of independant toy creators at Comic-Con. He had a translator but preferred to just answer "I like toys" for most questions. XD

:blink:
Thats a funny and random response to give.
Anyway Oda coming to AX? I can and cant see that happening. I mean he still has One Piece to do every week (Im guessing thats what he does).
And even if he did come, as some said earlier, there would be a big ass line to take pictures and get his autograph. Even though the dub wasnt good, there are still a lot of people who read the manga and watch the anime. I wouldnt mind waiting in line though…........
Scratch that....I would probaby just push all the people out of my way.
-
Yeah, knowing Con crowds, the likelyhood of actually getting to talk with him, or even get an autograph is not all that great, without waiting in long lines.
-
Plus people have to place the thought of this into their minds, "Hey Oda is just another person as well, will he really want to be apart of an almost three hour american speaking fanfest?"
This whole issue reminds me of when I was young and I waited in line for almost two hours to get an autograph from the Undertaker. I then came to find out that when there was only ten people ahead of me, the Undertaker had to leave. Well life is not always fair in all truths.
Another question that would be interesting to discuss with Oda is his thoughs on Dub Piece and if he even knew that 4KIDS changed his work until a water down friendly version for children to comprehend.
-
I would perfer actually more meaningful questions like
"How long have they been sailing?"
Someone should ask him (if he goes) about questions that happen in water 7. He'd be like
"Ummm is america even that far yet?" -
I agree with warp. I'd rather ask about his work as opposed to 4Kids.
-

1. Hes probably never seen the American dub, just like many people in Japan.
2. The anime IS NOT his work. The manga is his work, and most America has done to that is change names and that's to do with translation, not the story or artwork.
-
So . . . I just started this thread on the Anime Expo forums about inviting Toei Animation.
http://forums.anime-expo.org/index.php?showtopic=4450
Anybody interested?
-
If it helps us get a good american One Piece, then heck yeah.
-
Bump.
I'm going to cosplay for the first time this year. Yoho yoho.
I'd kinda like to meet a few people this time around.
-
I'll meet ya!
I always want to cosplay but never get it together.get it together…get it together...get it together...
-
I'll be going this year again. I'll be cosplaying Zoro. I just need to find the swords and a Robin cosplayer ;3
Next Year i'll be going as Zoro from the Unlimited Adventure Version. Or Maybe this year depends if I get the stuff I need.
Would love to meet people from here.
-
Woot Cosmic's going?
-
Yes, this time I'll spend more time…and I won't forget to eat and drink anything all day again so I won't get a massive headache at the end of the day. XD
-
It would be an honor to meet you, CosmicDebris.
Sounds like things turned out kinda bad for you last year. :(
So I take it oceanizer's coming?
-
It was good for most of the day, I just got a really bad headache after we left the convention hall. We didn't get to dinner until around 8 and my head just hurt so bad I couldn't even eat. It was a combination of the heat that day, overstimulation from OMG AX, no water, no caffeine, and a long time without food, I guess.
-
Make sure to pack sandwich or something, so we'll have something to eat around 5pm… then dinner around 10pm this time :O We can leave all our belongings to e1n's table, lol.
I'm not sure if I come or not this year. I'll have more people to meet this year, but my gf might hold me back. If I go, though, it'd be probably my last AX/con to attend somewhere away from my hometown :/
-
be sure to stop by the artist alley. i'll be there with eggy pimpin' a bunch of female artists
and drawing horrible disturbing stuff -
What is exactly artist alley anyways? Just a place where artist hang out and draw? or take commisions there? o.o;
-
Will you be selling any hentai, e1n?
-

She freaked out last time when she saw bunch of cosplayers :( That, and since July 4 weekend is a long weekend, she wants to go elsewhere. We've been to LA too many times :ninja:
-
what's better than going to bookoff for a long weekend?

e1n will ya be doing some commission art?

Ness is still new here, and don' know no one. However she's still going to ask: How big is Anime Expo? Is it really worth the $45? I'm asking because Ness went to CC last year, and she is planning on going to AX this year, but only if it's worth it. Both conventions would add up to a rather large amount of money Hotel wise… Food wise.
Is sleeping in ones car wise when attending a convention?
-
Food is nice, hotels are good, the con is awesome.
Sleeping in your car? …............
@e1n:i dont draw hentai, rootbeer. talk to eggy.
Ha ha ha…....
No, seriously. Will you?
reads your deviantart journal Apparently, you might. Come on, please? -

XDDayum.
My schedule:
Breakfast - 9 or 10am
Lunch - 1 or 2pm
Dinner - Anytime between 5-8 depending on what I'm doing.
12-1am - bed And I thought I was late.She freaked out last time when she saw bunch of cosplayers :( That, and since July 4 weekend is a long weekend, she wants to go elsewhere. We've been to LA too many times :ninja:
The 4th of July thing I can understand. But cosplayers, what's wrong with them? Too geeky?

By CC I assume you mean Comic-Con? AX is pretty big, but not compared ot Comic-Con. The dealer room is much less crowded…you can actually walk and breath in there. I haven't been to any of the panels before. Last year I just bought a day pass. I'm not sure what I'm going to do this year.
I always go the full 5 days of Comic-Con. I'm pretty sure you would spend a lot less on hotel in Ahaheim. How much did you guys pay for the Super 8, e1n, ocean? Sharing space always helps too.Is sleeping in ones car wise when attending a convention?
Probably not…you better hope nobody catches you. ^^
-
Wait. So if there's a meet-up, it's going to take place around 5 PM? Yeesh, I usually go around morning time and leave before the afternoon starts.
-
e1n will ya be doing some commission art?
yes i will. ask what you want, as long as it's not naruto.
actually, i'll even draw naruto. i can't pass up on mockery material.
@rootbeer:
Ha ha ha…....
No, seriously. Will you?
reads your deviantart journal Apparently, you might. Come on, please?no. i DON'T draw hentai. i draw gay porn, if you want that. EGGY IS THE HENTAI KING. he can draw you some hentai if he ends up coming.
-
@e1n:
yes i will. ask what you want, as long as it's not naruto.

=D Awesome. Nah I don't want naruto art just a one piece one I been hoping to get drawn and it's not Hentai.
Anybody else be cosplaying?
-
@e1n:
no. i DON'T draw hentai. i draw gay porn,
Hand-drawn gay porn IS hentai.
But alright, alright. I get what you're saying.

This year, AX will be in Long Beach, NOT Anaheim.
I heard LB isn't as safe as Anaheim… so I don't know if you want to be sleeping in the car or not. Though, I remember they had karaoke and dance session in hotels (anyone can join) and they continue until pretty late.
As for hotel... e1n should know.
For the meetup, I don't know. I think it's just easier to meet up when One Piece photo session is taking place. Last year we overslept though D:
Cosmic, she fears cosplayers because... I guess it's too otaku-ish? >.> And they're crazy.
-
this year's AX is in long beach. DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT WALK AROUND AT NIGHT ALONE. the gangs BLOOD and CRIB are from the neighborhood. should you need to go back to the hotel late, walk with a bunch of people.
i went to LB once at night. oh man, i see people getting arrested and cops everywhere. >_>;
-
I wonder if those gangsta will freak out if bunch of Naruto are walking around together… Or bunch of Bleach captains... Or CP9 :O
