Thumbs down A Day At The Japanese Anime Convention

There is nothing wrong with Japanese Anime. I used to watch it ways back, Some Dragon Ball Z here and there.
My friends forced me to go to this Anime convention in Baltimore because I haven’t been out much lately. I didn’t want to go but I said hell, I suppose I will just cause some havoc and laugh at people. So I called up my friend Sean that doesn’t even know what Japanese Anime is and told him that I got Tickets to a WNBA game. We both think the WNBA sucks but basketball is basketball you just got to love it. I had no choice but to lie because I know that he wouldn’t go, and he is funny so I wanted to see his reactions.
So we get there, my Anime friends run towards the Baltimore convention center, as if it’s the Super Bowl Screaming. I am like Oh Gosh …
My Sean looks around as some girls with make up and Cat Outfits run inside screaming something in Japanese. My friend looks at me and says what the **** ?
I look at him and think of any team to say and yell lets go see those Mystics ! So that he will go inside because he would of stood there or sat in the car.
So we get inside after we both had to pay $35 to get in. And a Japanese American female greets us in Japanese and hands up some booklet.
My friend said where are the Mystics !!!!!! The girl proceeded to point to the Mystic Ice Tea for sale and walked away.
I laughed my *** off and ran away from him, all I could hear in the background was, “Awwwwwww Man ! What the **** is this !!!!!!!!”. I kept saying you been Hosed Tommy, YOU’VE BEEN HOSED !
He was so upset, but soon began laughing at people.
We went to this table and there was some cartoon **** on it …
Look like Elf people ?!?!?!?!?!?!
All these people just dazed at it, male and females. Some dude was about to cream in his pants it seemed and said to the screen…. Take it off Sakura ! Take it off !
Once I heard that gay ****, my friend attempted to turn the TV of with his remote control watch, I got upset and said this has gone to far ! Justice had to be done. That was the most craziest and stupidest thing I seen in my life!
I brought a bag of Skittles candy, not to eat but to use as a weapons hehehehe.
I threw a couple at that dude, but after the 5th try I popped him right upside the head and he got upset. After that I realized someone could slip and hurt themselves, HOW thoughtful of me hahahahaha.
There was plenty of Japanese Rap … And Rock …
People signing autographs …
Some dude said something in Japanese and tons of females screamed, one fainted …
Blah Blah Blah

These Anime Fanatics also think that since they watched some crazy anime that they are black belts in a martial art. Tons of people said they where black belts… Even out of shape people. My friend Jarone claimed to have studied some rare form of martial arts and began performing the stances. He challenged any of my friends to a spar real quick and I stepped up for the challenge.
I don’t know if I spelled this correctly but Jarones art was Shod Khan, Mines is Ninjitsu. I studied that a long time ago.
We sparred for a bit, he got the best of me, but I took his anger for granted. Because I noticed that the harder we fought the madder he got. So after 15 mins, and have gathered a crowd of people. We where both tired and I thought it was over so I turned my back and stretched, and I got kicked in my back. So I got knocked down and got back up, and got a little mad also from that cheap blow.
I proceed to just go into boxing style or street brawl not to serious though, and people boo’ed at me and told me to keep it to martial arts. So I did that. At one point he swung and I ducked it and simply pushed him and told him to aim better. Everyone laughed that was a taunt lol.
So he attempted to go all out, but took off all defenses and lunged in for a punch, I managed to block with my left quickly lifting his arm upward and striking the center of his stomach with my palm, to make it seem more flashy I held my stance where his stomach was at and he gasped for air and dropped to the ground.
It’s a move I learned that I never thought would be effective. He laid there for 5 mins, I helped him back up and we had a good time. It was in all good fun, I know damn well he isn’t a black belt but I got a few bruises from this but I had fun in the end.
But with the anime stuff .... Its gone way WAY TO FAR

that was sad and funny at the same time. At least you got to beat someone up.

My best friend since high school used to be a martial arts instructor. I'm one of 8 kids, and the ultimate way to learn how to fight is growing up constantly under attack from your siblings. I used to toss him and his martial arts buddies around like rag dolls. Granted I took Tae Kwon Do for a year when I was in 7th grade, but never found it interesting. My older brother has recently started attending at some martial arts place though and he's been telling me to sign up.

Maybe after the turbo is tuned correctly - then I'll have time for it.

I love Martial Arts. It just that I get lazy from time to time from the intense workouts

I am to lazy thats my problem.

I always wanted to become a martial arts master one day.
But i know i would get my *** shot because i would use my skills for evil purposes. Because it for self defense, i would just attack everyone who pissed me off lol

So i guess its good i didnt follow that fate

But Martial arts is cool !

I seen some on tv where they do some outragous ****, like live contest

Anime is one of those things I just don't understand, to me it's just poor animation. But whatever does it for people...

Angry Poor Animation!!

Are you all crazy?!? Anime Rocks!
You all obviously need a education on the art of anime. Watch FLCL on Adult swim @12 midnight ET on cartoon network. Funny stuff.
