Baka Desnay! Learning Japanese is Crazy-Amazing

Karoshi-con 2011

(Updated, see below)

We held a panel at Karorshi-con at NIU today. More updates to come, but for now suffice it to say that we attracted an audience:

 

Update #1:

Full video of the panel is now on youtube:

(Yes technically it should be on the Baka Desnay youtube channel, but I'm not allowed to post long videos on that one)

Note: I probably made a couple errors with my Japanese
Note #2: My joke involving earthquakes is not meant to poke fun at the tragic earthquake that took place last month in Japan. (The joke was written long before that event). More here: http://themaninjapan.net/archives/disaster-in-japan
Note #3: Sorry that the picture is squished. It was filmed as widescreen but it's not displaying that way for some reason.

In other news Paulkhailo has written an article about Karoshi-con at his site, Joygasm. You can read the write-up here.

Here's an excerpt:

Another panel we went to later on I found quite intersting was “Baka Desnay!”

The panel was hosted by Jimmy Trevor of The Man in Japan blog, in this panel he discussed living in Japan and his animation project Baka Desnay! A series of shorts that Teach you Japanese it a non conventional method. Jimmy was very informative and actually quite funny, especially with his wild arm movements, he was, no pun intended, very animated. Can’t wait to catch the first episode of Baka Desnay! once it comes together.

Alright! It's our first external media review ever, and we did pretty well.

Thanks to everyone who was at the panel. You've made this project more possible than ever. =)
