Crunchyroll Expo Australia 2022
Crunchyroll Expo Australia 2022 replaced Madfest, maintaining a similar experience with a change in branding. The author arrived early but faced a four-hour wait due to the venue's reduced capacity, which was lower than the number of tickets sold. The long wait was exacerbated by poor line organization, with no tape or barricades to manage the crowd, leading to chaotic merging and splitting of lines.
Some volunteers claimed the issue was due to counterfeit tickets, which the author doubted given the QR code system. The author also noted that many attendees left the line, missing out on the convention. Once inside, the venue felt spacious but had excessive noise due to multiple stages competing for attention.
Despite the issues, the author enjoyed the exhibits, especially the Spy × Family stamp rally and Digimon model kit display. The convention had a strong focus on YouTubers and included a Sword Art Online anniversary exhibit. Overall, the author felt the event was similar to Madfest but with fewer crowds and a greater emphasis on online content creators.
Digimon Ghost Game Episode 43: Red Eyes
Episode 43 of Digimon Ghost Game, titled "Red Eyes," features a character named Emma who experiences pain and the appearance of eyes on her body whenever she tries to be a busybody. The episode is noted for its graphic content, particularly a scene where Emma attempts to remove an eye from her arm. Emma informs the group about Eyesmon, who is infecting people to gather information, possibly due to a hacker.
The characters fight Eyesmon, with Canon Weissmon stunning it and TeslaJellymon delivering the final blow. The author expressed a desire for solutions that don't always rely on Canon Weissmon. The author also noted the graphic implications of characters possessed by Eyesmon who were not rescued, suggesting they died. Despite enjoying the episode, the author criticized the rushed ending, a recurring issue in Ghost Game. The author hopes the hacker character becomes a recurring villain and appreciates the episode's darker elements.
