Just startin' off the conversation. Had to make the first post for technical reasons.

Now I really want to play Hungry Hungry Hippos, also did I recognize a song from Wedding Peach that they were either dancing or singing to?

I really didn't like that part of the fandom very much, but I couldn't stop giggling when I heard the Sailor Moon theme song. >.>

So is it normal for them to sell uh... "service devices," poop characters, and guns at these things? Between some of what they were selling and the maid cafe with exciting board games, these videos are quickly becoming warnings on why NOT to attend anime cons.

The maid dance is nice, but why the huge 10-seats round table? Those just don't fit in a maid cafe theme.

Wait a sec, is it really okay to show the video between 05:43 to 06:00? Shocked

If anybody ever asks me again why I never want to go to a con, I'll link them to this video.

Those poor guys being dragged into that cafe....they look like how I felt at the last business christmas party! I can guess why those guys are there, but what are most people doing at a convention? Otakuthon is this weekend here in Montreal (i think). I'm curious because I've never been to a convention, but this video makes me wonder if it is really for me
