Mana at Anime Expo

[bruke]

thank you for your review, rizumu! You actually made me feel a LOT better about that event, I was worried the place was entirely filled with crazies... and congratulations for getting to meet the man himself! I can tell by the way you wrote it out that you had a wonderful time ^_^ squee, And I'll bet you made him feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy inside when you told him you were greatly anticipating his tour here.

seconded.

Ahaha. Just reading that gave me tinglies all over. I'm shy enough as it is to normal people, if I would have gone to the autograph session, I would have probably gotten my turn, started to walk towards Mana, faint, and crack my skull open on the table, because Im just that unlucky and loser-rific.

Great report though!

I would REALLY like to know what was going through that girl's head when she asked him to marry her. I mean... really. I can't get it through my head as to WHY anyone would ask such a thing! It makes my brain hurt when I try to make sense of it.

“HE SHOOK MY HAND HE TOUCHED ME OMG OMG OMG HE SHOOK MY HAND MANA I LOVE YOU OMFGWTFBBQLOLLERSKATES!!!!!!111111111” and she looks like she could murder someone.

That's what my friend would probably do. She's crazy like that, and I'm not taking her to a M10M concert with me because of it. It creeps me out when she goes all fangirly. Oh, and that last part made me actually laugh out loud. "Lollerskates" always gets me.

aw, that's a great report! I want my mon amour binder signed ;--; It makes me wish I was there even more! Everyone is saying how nice Mana smells....I wonder what Mana smells like xD

 

[PrettyPuricura]

, Remember that one girl who said Mana smells like candy? It’s totally true. I have a thing for people who smell nice, and my hand smelled incredible. Big points for Mana there.

I'm glad you agree with what I said in my Mikkai report! I really enjoyed reading your review of the panel and autograph session, Rizumu. I was really bummed that I wasn't able to see him there. He always is such a gentleman. I admire his ability to remain elegant and poised even in the most challenging of circumstances. It's funny that you said your hand smelled incredible after shaking his! It's true! Mana always smells really good. It's like he considers these events as almost a date with his fans. I'm looking forward to seeing him at the end of this year in concert. Good news! Thanks, Rizumu!

 

[Illaparatzo-sama]

Ahhh... I'll have to take Rizumu to any events I go to; his memory is much better than mine. Thanks for the report

So IAnd then I went to Tohru Furuya’s panel as well (Amuro from the original Gundam) so it was pretty damn sweet all in all.

I went to that too! ::kisaki:: I liked it better question-wise than Mana's, cause Tohru is a funny guy; and the line requests were great.

thanks for the report¡¡¡¡

Ah, so it was you! ^^ I couldn't remember who had said it, just that it was from a great report. Mana is one sharp guy. Sorry you couldn't go this time, but I hope to see you at the concert.

Illaparatzo-sama: Isn't he though? Tohru's a riot. The english Yamcha line he did was great. I didn't get to meet him because I went downstairs to see 12012, although I did run into him in the bathroom, lol. And yeah, we should totally go together next time. ^^

Elec: Yeah, I really never thought I'd get to meet him so it was hard to be harsh and what not. I really do admire the guy. Thanks for the nice words.

Wow, I'm glad you guys enjoyed it so much. ^^ I did have a great time, I'm glad that came through.

I waited 2 hours to get his autograph but ended up getting nothing =_=

Anyways, he has a nice presense, but I hated how people kept asking things they could find answers for online. I wanted to ask him a question, but the staff person wouldn't let me -_-. Watching people getting overly emotional was pretty amusing, but I guess it just shows how much they love it. Mana kept looking like, "I know I'm cool and pretty Haha!"
His hair looked really nice that day though, but his answers didn't seem honest at all. It was as if he was just dishing out answers that people wanted to hear... and he said cooking and watching movies a lot.

I don't mean to sound mean or anything, but I thought it was stupid and repetitive how everyone was like, "YOU INSPIRE ME SO MUCH +cry+"

Yeah, it got a bit much. It's like, just ask your question already.

But could you give an example of what you thought wasn't honest? I didn't really get that impression. I just thought people asked a lot of stuff we already knew about him, and a lot of similar questions.

 

[nekoi]

Mana never has really liked dumb questions about his personal life... so the way he was "dishonest" was probably just his nice way of trying not to respond with "ARE YOU RETARDED?"

Gah, I wish people would just leave questions like that alone. He's a person, too, and some things are just not for others to know about.

Granted, he is 'famous', and thus willingly gives up a little of his privacy... but still. For five minutes everyone will be amused that he had pancakes for breakfast, but no one will care later.

And I now see Mana yelling "ARE YOU RETARDED?!" at wimpering little fangirls in my mind. Thank you.

My friend got on AIM, and she just got back from AnimeExpo. I asked her about the event and then said,
"did you see the Will You Marry Me Girl? Was she really crying?"
and she's was like "How do you know all this!? Where you there!!?" xDDDDD
I relooked over what I was asking and it either seems like I was there or that I'm a crazy creepy fan that follows every single bit of info on Mana

So more or less that means, thanks for the reports it's really good ha ha ha, now I can look like a crazy stalker net fan >xD

Nice to hear they're working hard to play in the US. I really hope for a Seattle show, college has put me into the low income statistic group

I forgot which part it was, but it was something about America O_o; Like when someone asked what he thought about us, he said we were passionate and he won't compare us to any country. I was like, "How about you say... WE SUCK 8D" I would have gotten such a good laugh.
I still don't think he likes the US much but it seemed like he was sort of trying to make us feel welcome? It's hard to explain.

 

[Aiko Valentine]

I'm glad it wasn't as crazy as it first sounded. I don't think Mana can have that much of an opinion of America from hanging around Disneyland Unless he went looking around and such. God I can't wait until the new Madousho is out!

I was wondering just a few days ago what he would put on Madousho. The best part is if he never mentions it because he's ashamed of coming to a country where the president can't even eat a pretzel correctly (sorry Republicans ;_; don't kill me!)

 

[Miz]

One day, I wanna see Mana. Out of all the musicians I respect, he stands out like Rame and Kisaki stand out in the Undercode lineup.

 

[Romanticide]

You know, they should just have everyone who wants to ask a question write it down on some kind of list. And then the list should be gone over with Mana and he'd pick just the questions he want to/willing to answer. That way, there'd be know akward questions or moments.

That's kind of like what I was saying... he's just trying to be polite... he's doing it for his fans & all.. may aswell not offend the hell out of their stupidity. XD;

 

[Lawr]

A friend told me six fans offered Mana gifts, and he only accepted two of them, making some of the girls cry. Is that true?
And if so, was there any particular reason? They didn't try to give him their underwear, did they? XD


Anyway, this seemed a little strange to me when you consider the Japanese culture... Mana could have thrown the gifts in the nearest trashcan as soon as the girls were gone, but refusing to accept them there and then is just rude...

 

[Aiko Valentine]

^ I could see that if they were like...wedding rings or something dangerous (Mana take this box, ignore the ticking >_>.
