Anti-Twilight panel

[komui]

I don't know how to create a poll but some things are done best the old fashioned way.

To gauge the general reaction, would anyone attend and discuss their causes, concerns, opinions, criticisms etc. of the Twilight series. Myself, and a group of my friends/ppl i know are willing to cosplay as anime/manga vampires to head the panel (kuku, in character of course). There are pretty much only two ground rules that I can think of at the moment for this:

-It will be 18+: understand that people can get VERY passionate about this topic and it is inevitable that it will present itself in the hour or 30 min this event runs
-To Twilight Fans: This isn't about a bash on these guys. It's about the series and its implications. If ppl don't like what's being discussed then don't attend and there won't be anything to complain about.

This all depends if you guys want it and it gets approved by the powers that be.

P.S. Werewolves can come too =)

Twilight isn't made in Japan so it has no place at an anime convention, IMO.
I think you'd be better off making a skit for the Masquerade with the same idea. That would be hilarious.

Agreed. I mean, no offense. We've already had this debate and people were saying "OMG they are making a Twilight anime." They may be, but until I see proof (concept photos and whatnot), I would say nay to a panel like this. Mind you, I have absolutely no control over this as I am not staff.

I am sorry for this piece of news, however www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-07-15/twilight-manhwa-by-young-kim-published-by-yen-press

I would like to say, there is little chance due to the fact Twilight has nothing to do with Anime and is not from Japan. It will have the same base as a Twilight Panel, we simply can't deny a Twilight panel yet accept an Anti-Twilight Panel.

@_@ They made STAR TREK into a crappy manga (I'm a trekkie & I hated it!), I wouldn't be surprised if they made Twilight into a manga. Hopefully people won't try to have Star Trek panels next at anime conventions.

8D There's a time & place for different fandoms everyone!

Also... that comic? Made in Korea. I need to read it now, srsly.

I'm not even joking. :T Plus the art looks pretty. And no Pattenson eyebrows of death, yay!

At least you can't blame the crappy story on the acting.

Make this a panel about true vampires, such as Alucard from Hellsing or Aldred from Rust Blaster, etc.
