Ya'know, I often hear people talking about these hardcore weaboo's, but of all the anime conventions that ive ever been to (8 in total, spanning a total of 12 days) im still yet to meet one. Maybe im just naturally good at avoiding them since I mostly stick to panels and the vendors area's rather than milling around in the open spaces...
Gotta agree with that thing about 'land whales' though, there are some people who just should not cosplay certain characters (or just shouldn't be cosplaying period). I recall the first time I went to an anime convention, there was a guy who was really, really fat cosplaying as sailor moon. Crossplay issues aside, he had fat rolls hanging out of his costume and smelled horrible, and I was stuck behind him in the crowd (Saturday crowd at Supanova is horrible, so glad they are moving to a new venue this year).
Nothing wrong with cosplay in general though. At the cons I go to every third person is typically in some sort of costume and the cosplay events are usually a main sttraction, its only if you start cosplaying when your not at a con or dedicated cosplay event that there's something wrong (looking at you, people who walk around in public wearing Naruto headbands).

Don't suppose anyone knows when the FMAB: Sacred Star of Milos is being released in the UK do they? I would like to see it on the big screen before seeing it on my TV. :)
I know it will be dubbed, but, the English dub for FMAB isn't that bad, is pretty decent actually. But, I'm not really that bothered with sub vs dub. I will often go through the first couple episodes of an anime dubbed and subbed and then chose whichever one is better.
I know the Blu Ray and DVD will be released in Spring, but, that's about all I know. :)

From ANN:
"Manga Entertainment has tweeted that it will be releasing the feature film Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos in 2012, adding, "Hopefully first theatrical screenings in May."
And you never know when it comes to anime movies. There have been instances in the past were cinema's have alternated screenings between subbed and dubbed versions.

14 episodes of Azumanga Daioh for me, less than usual. Spent most of my time working on a manga that I was creating to submit to a competition. Ended up passing out on my desk and missing the submission deadline, which is a real shame ive just looked over the other entries and quite a few of them aren't all that good, so I reckon I could have nailed top 3 easy.
