the parts that made anime midwest worth the six hr drive: 

 the mappa panel

just, everything abt the mappa panel. the way the mappa ceo and translator would put their heads together while conversing like they were hatching some kind of evil plan, the spot-on trump impersonation by georgis english voice actor - it was all gold from start to finish 

 the christophe cosplayer that showed up to the sheets on ice panel 20 min late w starbucks wearing a dress and a badge that just said 'nut' 

 the guy that opened the door to the sheets on ice panel, saw that we were all singing high school musical with our phones waving in the air like lighters at a concert, and promptly noped right on out of there like any sane soul would 

drinking a bottle of champaign w my friends at 9am in the heckin morning bc i needed it empty for my banquet yuuri cosplay and didnt want to waste it 

 all of the other banquet yuuris wandering around who were probably drunk or buzzed bc they had to do smth similar 

the single working elevator in the west parking garage that had lights inside that changed colors and no music playing bc it felt kind of like a liminal space and i was floating outside the space-time continuum for all of forty-five seconds

 the yoi meetup

 the look on a merch dealers face when i bought the entire box of those yoi celebration charms bc they were the blind box types and i rly wanted a viktor and a yuuri (i got all of them BUT yuuri and im bitter) 

 eating actual honest to god katsudon for the first time and finally understanding on a molecular level why yuuri would link that heavenly bowl of crispy pork and soft egg to sex

hanging out with friends i only get to see a few times a year

YO im skipping sunday at the con and going home instead bc its a six hour drive lmao rip me B U T i when i get home ill post yoi meetup pics and a redacted summary of the mappa panel (bc we arent allowed to post or discuss certain things that were said there huehue)

at anime midwest in mappa q&a

fan: did mappa set out to focus on the romance between yuuri and viktor?

studio mappa: yamamoto-kantoku wanted to focus on the coach-student relationship and develop theirs into smth romantic. that you are here filling this room and asking this question shows yamamoto-kantoku has done what she set out to do and its very satisfying as a studio to see that.
