My friend sent me an article about this, and I can’t believe I forgot-Evangelion fan that I am- but yesterday was the day of the Second Impact, in which the event with Lilith killed half of the world and spurred the creation of Evangelion. Oh, speaking of anime, now that my ship date has been delayed (again :rolleyes: ), I can go to Anime Weekend Atlanta. Just out of curiosity, how does AWA compare to other anime conventions? I went to AWA last year, and blew a whole bunch of money, but really didn’t watch any anime there. It was also full of smelly people that haven’t washed in about a week, and the hotel in which it was held wasn’t exactly [enter fancy hotel name here]. Still had alot of fun tho. ---

At my anime club meeting I was told AWA isnt a good con but it’s a con and it’s close by so dont complain 😉 I thought it was fun last year, I got some cool stuff. ---

whelp, it’s at the Ravinia this year, so it should be really nice. maybe we could push the smelly people into the japanese garden to give em a semi bath. it would be a new experience for them. ---

My favorite episode is the movie (so I use the term “episode” loosely), which gave me weird dreams for about a week. 😃 ---

I’ve never seen the movie. ☹ My fave episode would have to be 24, the one with Kaworu. I wish Evangelion would come on again here so I could tape it. Tho I’d probably just muck it up again; the second run through the serries started before the first had finished here and I STILL couldn’t manage to get them all. 🙂
