MegaCon 2010
Spring is almost here, or so I’ve heard. I can’t really tell with all the snow the country has been getting. This of course means more conventions we will be heading out too. We are very excited that this weekend we will be in sunny Orlando, FL for MegaCon. I myself won’t be out there this time sadly due to prior engagements (SXSWi!!) But never fear, we are sending Rojas to run the booth and answer all your lovely questions.
Though Justin has been to conventions for us before it will be his first time being lord and master over the FUNimation booth. So go easy on him folks, he has pretty hair.
This information should help you with your anime planning and needs for the weekend.

MCKG1, your right this is great news. Be nice if it had been put up here as well, but hey at least the outburst of the fans has been heard on this one. Hopeing for the real good news on the final verdict. Maybe now some of these guys can rest easier, and Rojas-sempai won’t be mulled to death by outraged fans.

@DragonO
Hopefully Funi can release the Uncensored Blu Ray and DVD release. I have faith in Funi and i know they wont let the fans down. Go Funi !

@MCKG1
I believe they will. With all the uphevil that just took place I can’t see them not puting out the unedited version. The edited streaming makes sence though. But and unedited dvd is all that matters. 
SilverPhantom on March 10th, 2010 at 1:48 pm says:
Let’s hope they do release the DVD’s uncut if they don’t the series will most likely sell next to nothing.

@Dragon0: “mulled to death…”
You were planning to boil him in apple cider?! That’s cruel! Possibly a tasty way to go… but still cruel! 
Dragon0 on March 10th, 2010 at 2:07 pm says:
@Mski
Ulinke most of the other that were lashing out at Funi, I was sitting back waiting for their responce to the issue. Although boiling someone in apple cider is a very creative way to go. Props for the idea. 
Besides I can’t make it to Megacon sadly. 
But Hopefully Rojas-sempai will still make it out alive.

do the blind bags count toward the >$50 thing?
mudduck454 on March 10th, 2010 at 6:37 pm says:
I will be at megacon bright and early Friday morning, and I might just buy a blind bag for 30.00USD,my luck I already have the box sets, and no I will not give him a hard time. I will just say hi, I can leave my ranting for the blog site,
so nice to live within 10 miles of the convention center, I hope to score some good stuff this year.
Rojas on March 10th, 2010 at 11:58 pm says:
@mudduck454 – Awesome. See you there! I’ll be the person that looks like the guy in the picture.
@Momo – I’ll ask Adam about the blind bags counting towards $50 purchase.
Chris on March 11th, 2010 at 1:22 am says:
Can’t make it till sunday, but hope to see you there Rojas! XD
mudduck454 on March 12th, 2010 at 7:43 pm says:
don’t let the tweet fool you, when I first saw rojas, he was leaning on boxes and eating, then later when I went by he was standing but, he disappeared after that, I think he slipped away to see Billie Dee Williams…. but I loved the 30 dollar blind complete set bags, I got three of them….
on a sad note, 3 of the shows I already have, but the rest are new to me
I will say he is a nice guy, I should have taken a pic with him to post, but I never once took out my camera for some reason
Dragon0 on March 12th, 2010 at 8:29 pm says:
So your saying He made it out alive today Mudduck. Now he just needs to make it through the rest of the weekend.
Have fun Rojas-sempai 
mudduck454 on March 12th, 2010 at 10:01 pm says:
I can say he was breathing when I last saw him, but I left one hour before the closing, my knee was in a lot of pain, so I had to go, no rave party tonight for me. I am too old for that……. 
but I bet Rojas might stay for the rave
Dragon0 on March 12th, 2010 at 10:19 pm says:
Raves are not my cup of tea either. Rojas-sempai seems like the late party type.
HatakeRynn on March 12th, 2010 at 11:20 pm says:
Yeah, looks like nobody got violent at the booth today… Also, Yoite says “EVERYONE SHOULD BUY NABARI NO OU.” That is all.
Momo on March 14th, 2010 at 7:05 pm says:
Thanks for Signing my pants Rojas!!
mudduck454 on March 14th, 2010 at 10:04 pm says:
I knew I should have gotten a pic with him while he was eating, but no….
I bring a camera and never use it…
Doh!!!!

This picture jinxed the convention on friday! It was raining terribly! Hurricain Rojas!! XD
mudduck454 on March 15th, 2010 at 1:56 pm says:
I agree, since I had to make a trip out to the car once, to unload some goodies, like their 30dollar blind bags, and a couple of figures, since I walk with a cane I can only use one hand to carry things, lucky me my girlfriend was there to carry stuff.
but I will call him tropical storm Rojas, since he greeted me nicely
but it was a gloomy day, glad megacon was indoors.
Rojas on March 15th, 2010 at 11:14 pm says:
Glad to meet you all. I’ll try to get that video up asap. Blind bags were pretty freaking awesome and sold out by like 2:00pm on Saturday.
mudduck454 on March 16th, 2010 at 8:38 am says:
good thing I went Friday, I got three blind bags, now I can finally watch red garden, without having to watch it online….
well I hope I am not in any of the video. I hate being on camera, I have a face for radio.
I was just thinking, is it considered creepy or gay to buy the maria holic pvc figure, even though it is a man dressed as a woman???? especially if it comes with 2 versions of the lower half of the body, one in panties and no bulge, and the other is briefs with the package showing.
