Sunday morning began late as one of our staff was a little ill in the
morning due to severe body pain. After a little rest he was able to
get up and we piled up in the car and headed back to the valley for
one more day of fun at Mikomi Con. We decided not to cosplay on Sunday
due to the heat and the presumed short time we would spend at the convention
that day. Although we did not head out to Mikomi Con until nearly one
the drive was fairly quick and we were able to arrive before two.
Upon arrival we ran into a few friends and we joined them as we all
headed over to the theater in order to watch the most anticipated event
of the convention: DragonBALD Evolution. This was the main
reason why we came on Sunday. The program featured Kyle Hebert (The
Narrator in Dragonball Z) giving a comedic commentary on the
live action Dragonball movie produced earlier this year. We
waited in the theater for a few minutes while everything was being prepared.
The whole room cheered when Kyle Hebert arrived to begin the fun. The
room echoed with excitement and laughter as Kyle began his commentary.
Everyone joined in groaning at the bad acting, raging at the bad special
effects, and mocking the pure absurdity of the movie. It was pretty
crazy, but the commentary made a very bad movie very fun to watch.
After DragonBALD,everyone went outside to chat with Kyle and
get his two cents on the whole event. Everyone had an opinion on Dragonball
Evolution and all those opinions are negative.
We
were also surprised to see voice actress Marianne Miller joined in the
conversation after the show. Everyone had a good time joking around
after DragonBALD, which may be coming to other cons in the future according
to Kyle.
After
the group split up we wandered a bit and made our way to the Rock Band
room. There we relaxed for a bit with some of our close friends and
reflected on the convention. As there was very little left to do we
decided to head back home and get some dinner.
