|  "Superflat: My Reality"
, posted Sun 12 Oct 22:15
I just got back from the My Reality exhibit. It was great! I was sort of disappointed in the size of the exhibition, but it was still a lot of fun. They also made it "family friendly," so some of the more sexual and/ or disturbing stuff was not there, not to mention just leaving out a bunch of other pieces. I mean, there was a whole big room full of these ugly silver animals in a separate exhibit (the "Silver Menagerie" exhibit... tacky crap) that they could have cleared out and replaced with some good Superflat stuff. What was there was really great, though. I took a bunch of pictures. Some cosplayers even showed up (and I'm convinced that I was the only one there that recognized the characters)... some were dressed as the little kitty hat girl from Digi Charat... I don't know her name. I wanted to ask them if I could get a photo of them, but I guess I was too shy to (I don't know, I get shy around people in costumes unless I'm in one, too... I'm not sure why). There was a little mini-lecture from the curator of the show, which was a lame sort of "Anime 101." The people who were there were mostly old, white ladies... so the speech was aimed at people like them who think animation = for children. Also, from the lecture I learned that pink means Hello Kitty. I'm not sure what that's all about. He also showed a slide from early in the Ranma 1/2 manga where Akane was beating up a bunch of guys at school and he leaned forward toward the microphone and said, "And if you'll notice, the girl is beating up the boys! Ho ho ho." And the audience let out a little giggle about it. Dude, what a novel idea. No one's ever thought of that. No one ever takes girls seriously, so it's good you pointed out that she's capable of defending herself. Ugh. Anyway, I'm not going to rant about that. The lecture part wasn't all bad, but I got kind of irritated listening to it.
Anyway, I enjoyed the show, and I'll probably post some pictures of some of the works there when I get them developed. I'd love to go back to see it again before the show is taken down, but it's so far away. Plus, not everything from Superflat is there.
Has anyone here gone to it? It's in Huntsville, Alabama right now...
THAT'S DANNY. His hometown is New Orleans.
