Anime Weekend Atlanta has announced that one of their guests of honor will be Imagawa Yasuhiro, acclaimed director of the Giant Robo OVA and the currently-running Shin Mazinger TV series. AWA is running this year from September 18-20.
Meanwhile, New York Anime Festival, running September 25-27, has already announced famed Gundam creator and director Tomino Yoshiyuki as its guest of honor. If you’re a fan of giant robots and you don’t have the time or resources to go to both, this can be a very painful decision to make.
To help you with your dilemma, try asking yourself the following two questions.
Question 1: Do you love Gundam?
Question 2: Do you love G Gundam even more?

Do you live a few hundred miles or more away and can’t afford multiple trips to anime conventions a year? :(

I have a shot at making both, lol. But that would be over my annual convention quota and I’ll die, or something.

Perhaps you will just burst into flames. But maybe it’s worth it!

Tomino shows up often lately, and has contempt for his past works (sometimes veiled, but it’s there)
Imagawa shows up rarely (if ever?) and by all accounts grooves on what he does.
IN NYC, Tomino will be guarded, and hidden, and rarely be seen except by the ‘chosen’, those who work the con or are ‘in’ with the concom staff.
Imagawa is probably gonna just tool around the con at AWA and just hang, like regular folks.
AWA wins.

This is seriously a hard decision–but not being able to go to either saves me the trouble of making one. :(

Good thing I already met Imagawa. Guy’s really cool.
At one of his panels at Anime Boston, a guy dressed Stalker, did the whole spiel in Japanese, took off his coat and eye-patch, and Imagawa looked like the happiest man ever.

fffffffffff
Well, hopefully I’ll get to see Tomino, but man, I’d much rather chill with Imagawa.
