Day 1: Friday, August 10 dealer’s room chaos Since it was not even 11am, there was a huge line of ppl waiting to get into the Dealer’s room. The tour of the Dealer’s room by press was taking place so I jumped on to enter the hall. We got to walk around, grab pics and then at 11:48, we were set free. I immediately went to the Cheritz booth to grab their special boxsets for the fanclub. https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron inefficient line issues Otakon’s new autograph line policy is to have a single line where all the fans gather for all the signings. They hoped to trickle the fans into their separate lines for the guests, but it wasn’t a good idea. First, they didn’t know who wanted to get into which line. So there were some lines that were filled with people so they ended up not letting others into the other lines. So some lines became empty. Also, they placed each guest into their own line, even with two or more guests were from the same company or series. Which made no sense since if someone was a fan of the series (Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans), they would want both of the staffers from the series. Instead, they asked them to choose one guest, get them to sign and then go back to the big line. For something like Mystic Messenger, they were expecting fans to go into the line 5 times for the 5 separate guests. Thankfully, by the time we got to Mystic Messenger, they realized the ridiculousness of the plan and had a single giant line for the guests. signings Ie got onto the line for Canna Nobutoshi. The signing started a bit late, but it went through very quickly. I got on the line for Matsukaze Masaya but the wait was very long. When they were letting people sign for Ebikawa Kanetake and Nagai Tatsuyuki, I hopped over to grab their autographs. I told Ebikawa-san that I really thought the Gundam mecha was amazing for Iron Blooded Orphans. I mentioned something similar to Nagai-san, noting that I was a fan of the series. https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron Then I quickly got Matsukaze-san’s autograph. I told him that Gaelio was a very interesting individual. His motives and feelings for McGillis in the series was very unique and the anime really gave them a lot of time to develop their characters. https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron For the Mystic Messenger signing, RFA and Special Believer fanclub card members receive a special cardstock with additional printed autographs of the voice actors not at the convention as well as the entire Cheritz staff for the game. Others receive a blank cardstock for the voice actors and creator to sign. https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron https://www.liheliso.org/2018/11/15/otakon-2018-a-con-in-review/[4/27/2019 6:01:34 PM] Otakon 2018 – a con in review – The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Miscellanea and Ephemeron Since we were able to get an additional thing signed, I got the developer and voice actors to sign the shikishi.
