This Is Otakudom: snowcalico (and anyone else) (A)

[thistlechaser]

Hey, snowcalico (and anyone else interested), I got a copy of a video called This Is Otakudom. It's a fanmade video thing based on the Otakon con (I think? A Baltimore-based one), and it's really well made. And long! 52+ minutes. (I was expecting a music video, I couldn't figure out why it was taking so long to download!) Even though I suspect I missed many of the jokes, it amused me lots. More experienced fan-types would probably find it a lot funnier. (It's like an AMV in that it's done with all anime clips, but it covers pre-con planning, travel, con foo, and post-con stuff.)

Have you seen it? Do you want it? ('you' being snowcalico or you, of you're not snowcalico!) Do you still have a sucky net connection? ('you' being just snowcalico in this case). It's pretty big (257,000+ Kb), but I can either BT it or you can FTP it (if you have an okay connection).

Eh. Since I have 5 gig of bandwidth to burn by the end of the month on Catlove, I was going to stick it there for FTPing. Then I saw that it'd take almost three hours to upload! Blech. If anyone is interested, leave a comment and I'll move it there.

Wow! I've always wanted to see that! They've shown it the past couple of years at Otakon, and I never remember to catch it. :)

Yes, my 'net connection is still sucky, and will probably remain so for a long time. If you stick it on Catlove, I could have the boyfriend download it for me, since he has a cable connection. (Hiss!) Then he can burn it to a CD and bring it to me when he comes to join me for Anime Boston next week.

Do you still have a sucky net connection? ('you' being just snowcalico in this case).
What, I'm the -only- person you know with a sucky internet connection? :P

Okay, I'll stick it up there tonight. Think he can get it tonight or tomorrow night, so that we stick in this month's bandwidth?

Yes! ;)

I'll get him on it as soon as I see him!

Cool beans! I'll post the link here in the comments evening my time. (Or if you want me to mail the URL somewhere, just send me an address.)

Just over four hours of uploading, and reaching 75% twice, the upload died again. Since it dies in the same place, I'm probably hitting some sort of a limit somewhere... space maybe. So sorry, but it's not going to happen. Bah...

I'm all about it...This was actually inspired by Otaku no Video, a work in the same vein, done as one of Gainax's side projects (they do these fairly frequently, taking a break from serious work to do something fun and in-joke laden, like FLCL), and I loved that one.

Okay! I'll stick another post up with the URL instead of putting it in a comment. Try to get it by tomorrow night though? That way it can eat up the remainder of this month's bandwidth instead of going into next month's.

Ah, Otaku no Video. A window into one's own fandom madness... and perhaps the weirdest anime ending I've ever seen.

Fight! Otaking

Howdy! I don't suppose you still have that file. I really want it. I have the fan parody "Evangelion: Redeath" in trade for it if you would BT it for me? Just email me at deusprogrammer@msn.com .

Sorry, I don't have it anymore!
