Matsuricon ’09 Report: No, Caramelldansen’s Still Not Dead

CJ and Rakuen rocked Columbus! Well, CJ only rocked Friday night, but she made the most of what time she had there with the first ever Borderline Hikikomori Aniblogging Panel. After her and Rakuen babbled their way through that, there was lots of time for Brawl, the dealers’ room, crazy fangirls in Artist Alley and… Caramelldansening with Rakuen’s hijacked cell phone. Yes, we did get a group Caramelldansen going. And yes, CJ looked like an idiot.

Even after the beloved admin’s departure, though, there was plenty left for Rakuen to do. Between panels and gaming and tons of other stuff, Matsuricon was a blast all three days. It continues to rival larger cons’ quality, especially with its atmosphere and teen-friendliness.

I really liked Alice’s outfit in this episode. I thought it was cute.

Nice little expression there too...

So when a show’s not working out so well, what should one do? Make it dark and depressing!

 

Aoi Hana episode 9-A pretty quiet episode

Compared to the drama of previous episodes, this one was pretty quiet.

Akira is so cute

Matsuricon 2009 Anime Blogging 101 Panel is a GO~!

we blog far more excitedly than this, trust me

The title says it all – writers of Borderline Hikikomori will be presenting an anime blogging panel at this year’s Matsuricon~! “Anime Blogging 101″ will take place at 5 pm Friday, August 28 in panel room 2 at the Holiday Inn in Worthington, Ohio. The hour-long panel will cover the ins and outs and do’s and don’ts of starting and maintaining your own anime blog.

Unforunately, a few things are still up in the air regarding who will actually be at the panel: we originally had 3 writers scheduled to present, but now we’re down to only CJ with Rakuen being a biiiiiiiig maybe. But no matter what, the panel will happen, so be there! Maybe CJ will bring Pocky if you ask nicely. Maybe.

Remember: 5 pm! A bit awkward timing, with CJ’s school not getting out ’til 2:45, but WE’RE DOIN’ IT! <3

Now is time to be down to earth

I’m sure as many people have noticed, I’ve been really consistent with updating Borderline Hikkomori this summer. Unfortunately, I don’t know how consistent I will be once school starts. On Wednesday, I will be starting my senior year where I will be taking two AP classes, and school work is more important then watching anime.

I do wish to keep blogging though, and do intend to keep up the best I can. While I don’t want to get too sappy, I would like to say thank you to the consistent readers of Borderline Hikkomori. I’ve been a blogger here for over a year where I’ve jumped from blogging style to blogging style until I found the one that fit me. I have also found myself gaining a sense of self, and self esteem, while doing something I love. Being the typical insecure teenage female, this has meant a lot to me.

So here’s to you all, the readers who take a few minutes out of their day to listen to the ramblings of a Borderline Hikkomori.

Maria=me. Canaan=the readers of the blog.
