Sorry, it's been awhile since I made an entry, but at least I have a lot to say this time around. On Sunday, May 16th, I got back from my three day long anime convention. I want to share with you all that happened as well as all the pictures that my sister and I took. On Friday, May 14th, I started the day by getting up early to prepare myself for the day (I had to do my hair and eye make-up since I was cosplaying.). When we got to the convention center, my sister and I went to our hotel, got to our room, threw our bags in there, and then headed for the actual convention. The first things I bought were a Soul Eater, a Prince of Tennis, and a Kuroshitsuji poster. After roaming around for a little bit longer, I bought a Ryoma and a Fuji plushie (They're about 18 inches in length.). Then, we had to get in line for a signing for Vic Mignogna (For those who don't know, he's an American voice actor.). My sister got her Tsubasa boxset signed while I got my Fullmetal Alchemist DVD and game signed (The game was really for my mom.). We ended the day by going to a "Tales of..." gathering to take photos ("Tales of" is a series of videogames for those who didn't know.). May 15th started another busy day. We started by just roaming around the convention center for about 30 minutes. Afterward, we headed outside to where the Prince of Tennis gathering was. The gathering was a lot of fun despite the fact that there weren't that many people. We acted silly while pretending we could take over the area from the next group. Following the gathering, my sister and I went back in to the convention center where we both bought Soul Eater wall scrolls for our next signing. We then had to get in line for our next signing. For this signing, I got that Soul Eater scroll signed by four of the Japanese seiyuu and the producer. I was also able to get my Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days signed by the Japanese voice of Roxas. Though, the highlight of that signing was meeting Kobayashi Yumiko. I was able to get her to sign my Prince of Tennis artbook (Which I bought the first day.). She was amazingly adorable with her "Ah, Dan." and "Oh, Fudomine." (She said the latter while pointing at me.). I bought a few more items before we had to return to our hotel (so we could eat and I could get rid of my tennis racket). We had planned to go to the masquerade that night, but since the line was so long, we decided against it since we could see the skits online later on this week. We called it a night after roaming around a little bit more. The last day, May 16th, my sister and I went to two more signings. One was fo Vic Mignogna again where I got my Ouran High School Host Club wall scroll signed and my sister got her Tsubasa artbook signed (We both bought them the day before.). The last signing was for some guy who did a voice in the Halo games. We were getting games signed for my sister's friend. After that, we did last minute shopping along with getting a few last photos. All in all, it was a great weekend. I can't wait until next year seeming that my sister and I are already planning things out. I know you all probably want to see pictures though, right? So, here are all the pictures my sister and I took: (Please tell me if these links don't work.) Guests Prince of Tennis Gathering Tales of Gathering Other Cosplayers The items I bought/got signed (This is missing the signed game along with a Kuroshitsuji keychain.) Random Pictures (Why, yes, there is a random Asian guy. He worked at one of the stands, and I liked his hair.) I don't know why, but if there is anything else you would like to know about my weekend at the anime convention, go ahead and ask. And...it's that time again where I will talk about a random picture. I know that I've shown this picture before, but it was just to ask what episode (Or in the case of this picture, special.) it was from. This is such a silly picture to me. First of all, how did Kirihara end up with someone's swim shorts? Second of all, why is he staring at them like he has never seen a pair before? He literally looks like he is questioning what he is holding in his hands. Then you have Yagyuu, Niou, and Marui who aren't even paying attention to this confused young boy. I obviously can't see Niou's expression, but Marui looks like he is concentrating hard on keeping his hand on Yagyuu. Of course, Yagyuu looks like he's questioning why he got stuck being touched by two of his tennis mates. My theory is Niou is thinking of a prank he could pull since he has Kirihara's butt in his face (I don't mean that in dirty boyXboy way.). I do wonder who's swim shorts Kirihara has. |
