Fanime has a reputation among some fans as always being a little disorganized here and there, and this year was no different. The lack of a printed schedule was a major complaint, and I overheard a few people badmouth this year's Masquerade for running long. While those problems are both something the convention can fix, there was another one I noticed that might prove more difficult to fix: many of the artists and dealers I spoke with told me that sales in 2011 were overall slow, which is a pretty bad sign considering that attendance went up.
What kind of image comes to mind at the mention of "bishounen"? Is it wispy, effeminate young males casting lustful glances at each other? Long-haired, tragic heroes gazing into the distance as flurries of flower petals swirl around them? Stacks of Prince of Tennis doujinshi exploring every possible permutation between the characters?
How about a goofy fantasy-comedy where the lead character is so clueless, he accidentally gets engaged in Episode 2?
