AX 09: Overheard at Anime Expo

There are a lot of people here atthe 2009 Anime Expo. By some estimates, there are 40,000 people in attendance. With all of those people running around in one place, there's bound to be some stupid and weird things said. We thought we'd document them for you for your reading entertainment. To protect the innocent, we've left out some of the names of the parties responsible for the quotes below.

  • "...Tito Kubo..." --someone who should know better, referring to mangaka Tite Kubo (Bleach)
  • "UniYasha" --someone who should definitely know better, referring to Inuyasha
  • "They taste like someone pissed in a bag of Funyuns." --Tim Sheehy on some snacks
  • "You wouldn't happen to have a bottle of shampoo on you?" --a random congoer to Japanator staff
  • "This is not the tentacle rape panel." --Atlus staff to seated panel attendees
  • "I hear the squee is out of style." --congoer on the strange absence of high-pitched squeals
  • "Why would she wear a bikini underground?" --About.com:Manga's Deb Aoki on Gurren Lagann
  • "I have to remain calm around the pretty girls..." -- Morning Musume's producer Tsunku
  • "Why are they selling empty cans?" --a newb referring to Tenga-like mastubatory tools on sale
This is only a taste of what we heard, and that doesn't even touch on what we saw. I'm already trying to forget those things.
