Videos Day and Night
Tagged with: behavior, children, dubbed, food and drink, policies, regulations, rules, sleeping, subtitles, video
At NDK, we have three video rooms running just about non-stop from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening. We try to show a good mix of anime so everyone will find something they want to watch throughout the weekend. We also host a number of special events over the course of the convention.
Video schedules will be available in pre-registration bags, at the registration desk, and in front of each video room.
To ensure that everyone has the best experience possible in the anime rooms, we have a few rules that we ask everyone to follow:
- No sleeping. The video rooms are not hotel room surrogates. If you’re sleeping, we’ll wake you up. If you don’t wake up, we’ll call security. Seriously.
- Be respectful. Keep quiet. Don’t talk while the anime is playing. You might be the sharpest wit this side of Oscar Wilde but the other attendees want to listen to the anime, not your running commentary or why Dragon Ball Z is your favorite anime ever.
- No food or drink allowed. We use plenty of electronic equipment that doesn’t mix well with crumbs or liquids. Finish that ramune and pocky before coming in.
- Don’t stand in the doorway. If you want to see what’s on, come into the room and pull up a chair, even if it’s only for a minute. We won’t yell at you if you don’t decide to stay. Just don’t block other people from coming in or going out of the room.
- No unattended children. If your child is young enough to need a babysitter, they’re too young to be left alone in a video room. Please be responsible with your children.
Lastly, we understand that not everyone likes subtitles and that some people can’t stand dubs. We show both so everyone has something to enjoy during the con. But we aren’t going to switch from the scheduled dub to subtitles (or vice versa) just because someone complains. Sorry. We can’t always please everyone.
