If you have been following my twitter account lately you have probably heard of some unfortunate news that happened to me while at this year's Anime Central. On Friday afternoon I somehow ended up injuring my foot and sadly even got a small fracture in my big left toe and I had to leave early on Friday, around 5:30 PM, and was not able to attend anything on Saturday or Sunday (although I never go to ACen on Sundays). However I still ended up taking 21 pretty decent pictures from the con, which I'll get to in a bit, and even got some of the stuff I wanted which were:

- Volumes 34 & 35 of Gantz (the final two of the series)
- Garnidelia's first major release "Linkage Ring" (also more wanted to get stuff from "Nano" but found nothing)
- And lastly had famous US voice actor Richard Epcar sign "Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG" volume 7 (the only one with Batou on it cuz he voiced him)
As far as going to other panels and stuff the only one I went to just for the hell of it was one about the weapons of the web series "R.W.B.Y." (available to stream on Crunchyroll and Youtube) although if you have already watched both seasons then there's is absolutely nothing new to learn here except for knowing each of the series weapon's names which is really unimportant. At least there were a couple pretty decent cosplayers from the series there (although didn't get any shots of them).
Now if it weren't for my accident then I would of attended the "Scandal" concert on Friday night and then on Saturday go to an Evangelion series discussion panel with Dark Horse Comics, see the company panels for Crunchyroll and Aniplex and then go to the ever-so-famous ACen Masquerade cosplay show. However based on the guests and panels they were having this year I didn't think this was going to be all that great of a convention and personally thought it really needed more Japanese guests from the industry than the typical US ones. Also where the hell was "Pepper Ink"? That guy is awesome with his amazing chalkwork skills and has been to ACen for the last three years, sucks he wasn't able to make this one. At least they used the nice and big meeting ballrooms in the DES Con Center, which they did last year too, instead of peppering them around the other hotels in the area. If I were to score this ACen I would give it a 7 out of 10.
Alright, pictures time!!
