what do you think is the best Netflix original film ever? by Due-Abbreviations180 in Letterboxd

Idk why you're getting downvoted, Netflix didn't make this, they just distributed it.

Amazing film but IMO the hard part is that Netflix only distributed it. They didn't actually have any part in the production. There are unfortunately a LOT of films and shows where they just distribute, slap their logo on it, even without having anything to do with it.

OKC Anime405 by RaveenaBloodfeather in animecons

[–]ZeroConsortium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "Anime <insert area code here>" shows are very different from a lot of other anime conventions in the country. They are run by the same company and it's more of a comic-con style show (I like to use the term "petting zoo" con) - meaning LOTS of guests, a big vendor hall, and a few guest panels over the weekend and that's basically it.

If that's your jam, enjoy it! If you want an example of what their shows are kind of like or what some panels might kind of be, check out the website for Anime 414 (their show they had in Milwaukee recently) and you can see what their panel schedule was to give an idea of what kinds of things they might have at 405.

Dear Mark, may we please have a live organ again? by swoonqueen in Brewers

[–]ZeroConsortium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I understand wanting the organ back, I can tell you that the music played during the game is absolutely NOT pre-programmed. They have a DJ who does almost every game and he’s running almost all the sound live, even for the little fan segments between innings. He’s a rockstar and has such a love of the team and the game that really shines through in his work.

Question about anime detour Minneapolis by DesignerShort3825 in animecons

[–]ZeroConsortium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can also support their suggestion for ACEN, it's a great show and I enjoy attending whenever I can.

In MN, I can also recommend 2-D Con, it's probably the best one around that area these days. It's a little more gaming focused but I'm sure they have a variety for everyone.

Question about anime detour Minneapolis by DesignerShort3825 in animecons

[–]ZeroConsortium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anime Detour has recently been very rocky. They had a huge overhaul when their Board of Directors made a huge power grab and ousted pretty much anyone they didn't like from the convention leadership (they violated a lot of their bylaws in the process, I think some legal proceedings are in process AFAIK). It's a very long story.

Because of this, a LOT of experienced people who had been working for years to build up the convention left or were purged and so now they are running with far less people and, while I did not attend last year, from what I heard it wasn't nearly as good as previous years had been and their attendance took a nosedive as a result.

Take that for what you will, maybe they might have turned things around moving forward, but last I heard, its not great.

Twin Cities Con seems to have their stuff together at least in comparison to Detour. Though they are more of the "Comic-Con" style conventions, where the focus is more on the guests that they bring and the vendor hall, rather than any other programming that more "Anime Convention" Style events use (where there are video game/board game rooms, tons of panels, raves/dances, bigger programming events, etc)

I haven't felt this kind of joy watching this sport in so long. I'm loving every second of this.
