Fanime (in California)


Mephisto

Recommended Posts

Yo guys, Fanime just started today ( and will be lasting for memorial weekend), since I noticed that there were quite a few people here from California, I was just wondering if anyone else went/is going to go.

There actually isn't much stuff for visual novels there :( no panels. Hanako Games is there in the artist gallery though (bought two VNs from them, not sure if any good will try them out later), and Mangagamer has a stall in the Dealer's hall (although it seems they only have porn and stuffs, didn't pay much attention. When I passed by the guy running the stall was trying to sell boob wars to someone)

So, anyone in the area? :o

Well I looked up Hanako Games, having never heard of them, and was surprised to find on their page:

"For too many people, "games for girls" means nothing but bright pink and dolls and dress-up and shopping...why aren't there more girl games with unicorns instead of prom dresses?"

Sounds pretty rummy to me.

Well, I brightened up when I saw this:

"Georgina Bensley once had a ColecoVision, and it gave her a lifelong fondness for games that are small and simple but well-designed and fun. Some of her more recent favorites include the classic Quest adventure games from Sierra, the never-officially-released Princess Maker, and the excellent Fallout RPG series."

Hear, hear! Clearly their designer has good taste.

These are the two VNs I bought. Not sure to start playing them now, or finish hoshizora, or start koihime ahhh.

They have reasonably high ratings.

Edit: oh yeah, forgot to mention

Is Madoka like super popular or something? It is freaking everywhere at this convention. 1/2 of the stuff in the Artist's gallery is Madoka.

Oh yeah. I was looking specifically for Steins;Gate stuff, but there wasn't much.

There was a Kurisu figure and a Steins;Gate art book, but I wasn't sure if I should get them or not.

If the art book was in english, definitely would've gotten it, and if the figurine was Okabe, I probably would've got it. (honestly, why isn't there a Kurisu pin or keychain or something, a figurine is way too big)

Madoka is very popular, considering the 2 movies that came out + the 3rd this summer x)

I got complete set of figures (*.*)

Madoka is ultra-popular because everyone, even non-anime watchers, saw it, and it made quite the buzz. Same thing in France, you see it EVERYWHERE at convs and half of the cosplays are Madoka ones.
