My absolute favorite pics from Anime Central this year!

So if you’ve been on my page for a while you know that I lost my older brother when I was 13. You also know that I do have a nephew. What I realized during Anime Central was that I actually haven’t seen him since back in college, so around 8, maybe even 10 years ago. So when he showed up at ACEN I was thrilled to see him 

I pretty much took him around the artist alley and introduced him to all of my friends like a loser, lol. He got to see what it is that I do and he, most importantly, finally got to meet my wifey and gave her a big hug. 

So was Anime Central the best con I’ve been to this year? Yeeeeah, probably, because I got to see my nephew again Though I probably embarrassed him by being all, “OMG THIS IS MY NEPHEW YOU GUYS HE’S HERE!!!” ^^;;;

STOP THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE SCENE IN THE ENTIRE SERIES I WILL NEVER GROW OLD OF THIS BECAUSE IT’S LITERALLY ONE OF THE FIRST ABSOLUTELY SHITTY BRATTY THINGS IN THIS DUMB GAME OF “WHO CAN BE A BIGGER PIECE OF SHIT” BETWEEN CIEL AND SEBASTIAN FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE MANGA

I always wished that if this were ever animated that someone make some 80s training montage AMV for this part.

ANNIE - Official Trailer (2014)

I’m not gonna lie, I teared up a little bit when I saw the trailer.

I’m sooo excited for this… cheese fest and all!

this is so freaking adorable and yes i cried. I can’t wait.

I CAN’T WAIT

So I’ll probably get slammed for this (because, tumblr) but here goes anyway.  Ask box is open, slam away.

When the original Little Orphan Annie was written, chronologically we were a lot closer to a time where there was a strong bias against Irish people.  By making Annie red haired, it was implied that she was of Irish descent, and by extension, the audience would have inherently known that was part of the bias against her.

Changing Annie’s race to African American replicates this same dynamic in modern society, and that’s a big part of why so many people were upset by it.  A BLACK orphan?!  Nooooooo, keep her white and red haired and cute I DON’T WANT TO DEAL WITH HOW THIS IS MAKING ME UNCOMFORTABLE.

Casting Annie as black in 2014 is a much more true to the original character than casting her as a caucasian red head.

this sums up what I couldn’t quite put into words

*slow clap*

Seriously though that is an amazing point to make about this movie.

Table all set up!  See everyone tomorrow  <3
