Holy Crap is this actually a written review it has been ages since one of these showed up well guess what Anime Reviewed will be coming back to full strength soon enough. Want to know whats holding it back me being lazy and a lack of Reviewers and Article Writers so I am solving that first problem by stepping up on all the reviews and putting them in high gear. However the second problem with the Reviewers and Article Writers is still there because people seem to now want to write anymore shame on you all. If you think you have what it takes to Review anime or write any sort of anime article just ask me and I will have to see a example of your work. If your work is pretty good you can become a member of the Anime Reviewed team which entitles you to be a member of the press sorta …. dont give me that look because it depends on what type of stuff you write with what you are able to do. If you are interested in Submitting any of your work just email it to animereviewed@gmail.com and I will contact you back if you are accepted. Also direct all questions you have to animereviewed@gmail.com because we will answer all your questions as soon as I read them. Ok I have written enough pointless prattle so I think its time to get the review started so introducing the first written review in a while.

Anime Reviewed Reviews Animazement 09

Hello anime reviewed faithful … yeah I know most of the faithful visitors of Anime Reviewed left the site and never looked back because of the lack of updates but there was reasons for the lack of updates. The main reason is I visited my first Anime Convention and yes I neglected the site because of my own selfish reasons well guess what its not 100% selfish because I will tell you whether or not you should visit Animazement 2010 or not.

Panels

There were all sorts of panels at Animazement 09 from fan panels to panels that were hosted by some very popular voice actors. Unfortunately I couldnt make it to all of the panels because some of them happened to have occurred at the same time and some  were taking place during the time I was in the dealer room. But the panels I went to were very educational and funny at the same time so if you want to learn something useful and have fun at the same time.

Panels include

• Japanese Culture
• Learn to speak and write Japanese
• Karate,kendo and Iaido demonstrations
• And tons of Guest Panels
• And even more Fan panels than I would like to list but wont.

I attended a few of these and all of the panels that I went to was supperb except for a slight problem with kyle hebert and Spike Spencers equipment didnt arive at the convention for one of their  panels so they did some unique improv.

I have to give the Panels for Animazement 09 a 4 out of 5 … why a 4 because i missed some and i cant score them.

Entertainment

There was more than just Panels at Animazement there was Cosplay Competitions, Concerts, video/game rooms, Dance/Rave, and all sorts of strange things that occur in the lobbies. If you thought that Animazement was nothing but panels well you are dead wrong there’s all sorts of stuff to pass the time. While at Animazement 09 there was a Uchuu Sentai NOIZ concert which was very unique and I actually enjoyed  it quite a bit. Infact the NOIZ concert was the first one they did on the east coast so it was actually pretty special so I guess you could say it was monumental sorta. The Cosplay Competetion wasnt that nearly as good though but it wasnt terrible so it could have been much much better than what it was. The Video rooms were a nice way to watch some anime that you have never seen before and the only problem with them is sometimes they arent playing something your interested in. The dance or rave thing would have been better if I had any dancing skills what so ever but I dont so I kinda just watched some people do some strange things. The strange things in the lobbies i was talking about is cosplay red rover and other little games that the cosplayers played in the lobby.

I have to give Animazement’s entertainment section a 5/5 because I enjoyed it.

Guests

The Guests Were:

• Kyle Hebert
• Spike Spencer
• Trish Ledoux
• Christina Vee
• Caitlin Glass
• Kara Edwards
• Scott Houle
• Toshifumi Yoshida
• Ryuusei Nakao
• Jun Shishido
• Yusuke Igarashi
• Noiz

They had some Guest drop out due to the bird flu scare but some surprise guests took their place which was very good because otherwise half the guests listed wouldnt be here.

I have to give the guest lineup a 5/5 I suppose because there’s no reason why not. Some of my favorite voice actors appeared so I cant give it a bad score. The problem is I missed some of them so yeah that sucks so next time I need to get Chritina Vee, Caitlin Glass, and everyone elses Autograph. Yes I did get me some Autographs because I am cool like that.

OVERALL

Alright overall I have to give Animazement 09 a 5/5 because it was genuinely fun and its amazing to watch the cosplayers wondering the streets of Raleigh. I will also have to say that If you get a chance you will need nay I command you to go to Animazement 13 which will be May 28-30, 2010 in Raleigh NC. Oh yeah I most likely will be heading back to Animazement because this time I will be much more prepared and I will need a helper since its so huge.
