My Waifu's Not Weird! 2016

Post by Flemtee »

Hi guys! Here is your forum thread for this years edition of 'My Waifu's Not Weird!'

Everybody has waifus and/or husbandos, if they say they don't then they're lying! We'll tell you why in this panel. This is a topical/comedic science and psychology panel that explains the reasoning behind why you brain falls in love fictional characters - aka. character crush - aka. Waifu/Husbando - using real scientific studies on love as well as professional art industry views on character design from your Wicked Anime hosts! If there is time after the presentation, we open it up to you, the fans, to tell us what you think and share your stories just like we will be up on the stage.

After a highly successful first year, this year will be a more up-to-date panel loaded with lovey-dovey stuffs for all you wonderful fans. If you didn't get the chance to check it out last year (perhaps fighting it out in a big crowd), then this is your chance! We hope to see you there!

It was a hilarious panel, but the room was too small last year, so you may want to go early.

We haven't gotten any of the details quite yet, but we are hoping for a bigger room this year seeing that last year was it's first go. I'll be keeping everyone posted! Also, thanks so much for saying we had a hilarious panel, comedy really is what we strive for with Wicked Anime shows!

We sure had a blast with all you guys and we're looking to do it again with you this year with even more of you. It probably is a good recommendation to show up early though because who knows what this year will bring. People even started filling the room before we had shown up ourselves and the line was there for the whole show!

*insert angry temper tantrum*

Why do all the cool panels that I want to go see have to be scheduled when I'm presenting stuff as well?

Oh man Haru not again! Same deal as last year, huh? Any chance you'll pop in again by the end of the panel? We certainly have a bigger space than we did last year, that's for sure, so hopefully everyone will be able to get in this time.

I have my "History of Japanese School Uniforms" from 5pm - 6pm, but it really does not take up the full hour, more like 45 mins and it is on the 3rd floor of the Hynes. Then at 8pm I have another panel for an hour Sheraton 5th floor, followed by an hour and a half panel next door at 9:30.

By the time I get out of the Hynes and make it to the Sheraton, I might just make the ending of yours.
