Anime Expo 09
Oh man, AX was so fun. Like, there were definitely down moments (waiting in line, someone stealing our cow plushie, the whole stupid masquerade), and I wish I was there with more people (not that my brother wasn't an awesome con partner cuz he was!), but it was just SUCH a good time. I love cons in general so much, and AX is just so epic.
My bro is ready to go.
I'm always taking pictures of myself in cars...I guess I get bored?
Shinigami and Excalibur from Soul Eater. Please see this song to understand Excalibur's significance.
HOLY CROW, THIS GUY'S BANKAI. It looked so f-ing heavy and amazing, I was really impressed. It was kind of sad though, because at the Bleach gathering there was another bankai Ikkaku and his was not nearly as spectacular. We felt bad for him.
TWINNNSSSSS. I saw better Cheshire!twins later, but they escaped before I got their picture.
Like I said, I take lots of pictures in cars.
Outfit shot.
This is what parking meters say when you run out of money. True story.
Ty Lee and Appa! Omg! It was funny, too, when the Appa took it's head of because it was just a teen-ish girl in Appa leg suspenders.
Do you think Squeenix paid for this to be up just during AX? Cuz, DAMN
Did you know Denny's puts Mac 'n' Cheese sauce on their nachos?
Princessesssssss. I was so happy to see an Esmeralda, I always loved her. And the Giselle! She's even doing the hand thing! Squee!
Look at the Tianzi's sad face! She just had the saddest face! But she was also perfect. And the red eyes didn't even look creepy.
Best, Dhalsim, EVER.
HOSHIT, GUNDAM WING. I didn't even like that show all that much (although I did ship Heero/Duo), but I was just amazed to see ALL of them together. Talk about throwing me back to junior high.
Twilight Princess crew, plus a Sheik.
CHOPPER.
Bro as "Jack" or "name" From Harvest Moon. See original. Pretty sweet, yeah?
Popuri. I can't find a screen cap of the emotion I was going for...sigh. Here's just Popuri: Bam.
Niaaaaaaa. God, she was SO good. She made me want to do adult Nia, and I've NEVER liked her costume. And her wig was PERRRRFECT. And she was super nice to boot. <333
GURREN LAGANN!
Sexy, kind of.
So this caramell dansen train was taking up both escalators, and it went past us for like 5 minutes straight. Normally, it's a little bit old meme, but this was epic.
Zeroooo. although no one beats the hot girl Zero I saw at Fanime...I wish I'd gotten her picture... ;_;
I love random cosplay pics. A lot of people took our pictures, too! Not like a ridiculous amount, but we were definitely recognized by a lot of people. My brother is all excited about cosplay now, too, so we were like coming up with everything we could think of to do together. He desperately wants to do Gourry from Slayers, but aside from that we were thinking humanoid Mew and Mewtwo and the Normals from Evangelion (Joel as Touji, Me as Hikari aka Class Rep, and KC as Kensuke).
Aside from cosplay...bought some posters, pins, jewelry, just the usual. Got an Anya from Geass cellphone strap and the littlest Nia for my sidekick, so that was sweet. KC got an Asuka figurine that we searched the whole exhibit hall for three days for. Umm...saw Anime Last Comic Standing, which was surprisingly funny. Also Whose Line is it Anime, which was funny too, but a bit repetitive with the 4chan jokes. Lots of things were over 9000 and such. Watched a screening of the Gurren Lagann movie! That was friggin sweet, that movie is so goddamn epic and watching it with a huge crowd who were all super into it was amazing. So much cheering. Also learned that Nia wears white g-string panties from the like head director guy, but I don't think I shall be including that in my cosplay plans. Oh, the masquerade fucking sucked, dude. It was the shittiest masq I have ever been to. Like, there were a few skits that didn't seem too bad...or at least they would have been, if the IT guys hadn't constantly messed up. Wrong music cues, playing something twice, stopping in the middle, speeding it up so it sounded like chipmunks...I mean, dude. Come on. It was just SO unprofessional. The chibi masquerade was better, for goodness's sake! That should never happen at a con as big as AX! It was so stupid. But we left as soon as the skits were done, so we managed to catch most of Last Comic Standing, which made it worth it.
Sooo...yeah. That was AX. Next is Comic Con, which is just an entirely different beast. I thought AX was crowded this year because there were 45,000ish people, but SDCC is maxed out again at 125,000. That is just an absurd number of people. But I'm looking forward to it! My next con is going to be Yaoi con in October. I got Trevor, my wonderful gay library friend, to go with me. He's even going to dress up as Miles Edgeworth from the Phoenix Wright games! I told him he might be mauled (this is a con made up of 85% hetero yaoi fangirls), but he's super excited. So that's sweet. And...yeah. Cons. Gotta lot 'em.
:)
