Anime Evolution Review - Sunday

I was glad for the final day of the convention to arrive but staying up too late the night before meant I missed half the day.. not that big of a deal in my opinion. That just meant I missed out on watching Cosplay Chess.

 SCT Main Improv

(The crowd at SCT's Sunday Show)

Ok so I actually missed about half of this myself but only because I was setting up mousetraps outside the room.

You might be thinking... mousetraps? That's right. Mousetraps.

 The mousetrap game is a game that started a couple years back often played by Will and Beej who at the time were part of the 404s improv group. This year Will and Beej, along with Ian (All former members of the 404s, and present members of Synaptic Chaos Theatre) played the mousetrap game to end off the show at Anime Evolution.


The way the game works is they play out a scene while blindfolded and barefoot.... and with live mousetraps scattered on the floor.



In fact here's the video:

Final Thoughts

Told you I didn't get to attend much. I did manage to see the closing ceremonies too but honestly it's just a wrap up and it's hard to describe what all actually happened unless I was taking notes... which I wasn't.


The overall convention itself was fun and I totally would want to go again next year.


I've heard rumor that they want to go back to the convention centre they were at in 2009. Personally I'm against this... I enjoy the UBC campus and I think it allows for a lot of community interaction there.

Of course I could just be biased as a lot of things went wrong and seemed harder to enjoy that year they were at the convention centre. Hopefully if they do go back that will be worked out better.
