I know some of you may be people still living at mom/dad's basement and such, writing odd things and stories that make no sense... but have you ever gone out, shown your face at an Anime Convention?

I know I have
I live in Dallas where the famous Project A-Kon takes place...
I have been to 3 consecutive Kons 13-14-15, and various mini-cons around the metroplex...

how about you?

I got Sakura Con up in my neck of the woods but the only reason I would go would be to rile up those ultra knowlagable guys into a full blown hissy fit about weather you pronounce Alucard "alucard". It's funny to watch their face slowly go from pale white to cherry red. Muha ha ha. I might go to the 2005 Sakura for a larf.

hmm....the first pic kinda looks, well, gay. probably cuz the shirt says anbu.

the second ones not bad, but the whole "white samurai/ninja" things never really worked with me.


i've personally never been to a con, but i would liek to go. unfortunatel im the only one intrested in anime, of all my friends, so its rather hard. i dont wanna go alone for fear of being attacked by 40 yr old sailormoon wannabe's

i live near toronto, so the only con i've heard of here is Anime North. i mite check it out sometime in the next few years

i wonder what mut@t@ will say when he sees this.

besides this is in the wrong section, this should be in general discussions.

I actually went to Anime North this year (sadly enough, I'd only ever watched Escaflowne at the time) and it was a little overwhelming. The two guys I went with cosplayed, and everyone was always wanting to get their pictures. My sister and I kind of stood off to the sides and tried to absorb everything around us. The number of people cosplaying FF characters was reassuring, since we'd both played through all the FF games. But there was this atmosphere of.....weird fanaticism I guess.

It almost scared me off, but I bounced back and went to CNAnime in Toronto on Saturday. Since it was a joint SF-Anime-Horror-Comic con, I figured the trekkies would outnumber everyone, especially since a number of Star Trek actors were featured in the guest list. However, I was shocked to only see one lone Klingon representing ST, and I had to wade through a sea of anime cosplayers to take two steps in any direction. It was ok, but not overwhelmingly fun. One day was enough for me.

I live in israel, the closest setious anime convention would require me to pass either the atlantic ocean or to go through hostile territory (or both).

however, there is an anime stand which sells anime stuff (wallscrols and toys, mostly) at my town once a week, so i sometimes drop there and pound some anime knowledge into the other people's brains.

I go to a local Con, Sakura Con. They're fun, it makes me feel pretty among all the ugly people, but then makes me feel ugly when there are actually really pretty people there i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif

I went this year, only saturday. The line for l'arc en ciel was too damn long by the time I got back from hooters and friends i was with didn't want to go. I didn't really have as much time as I wanted but it was still pretty interesting for my first con.

Damn, the line moved VERY fast as soon as it started moving. We were literally running through the streets as fast as we could. It was fun to watch the "larger" people try to run damn I was laughing so hard. But the concert was just amazing.

Man, If there's ever one nearby my place, I'd probably attend just to see what it's like. And maybe, just maybe meet a girl cosplaying who can fulfill my fantasies.

i really wanted to go to at least 1 last summer, and I had a few in mind. but there was always a schedule conflict which prevented me from going.

but this up-coming summer i definitely want to go to some.

I doubt I will ever attend one again unless one comes to this very city I'm living in. I have been to a couple of them, and both times I felt totally and completely out of place in the middle of hordes of 12-13 years old girls. Especially with some of them sporting far too embarrassing cosplay gear...

Can't deny some of the panels wouldn't have been really interesting, though. And you normally get manga and stuff with nice discounts or at least without postage.

Been there, done that.
Clearly I don't like crowded places, and it was crowded.
Plus I brought my wife and she accepted although she isn't into the thing.

Gosh, HighSchool's hard for a 30+ :D

Went to Otakon last year, had a lot of fun. There certainly is a lot of people, but it's kind of cool being around some many people who like anime.

There's a videogame/movie/anime convention/expo that comes by my city biannually, so earlier this April, I treated me and my brother to our first anime convention.

(Even though it's in our city, getting there still took a while, >1hr for bus, train, then walking combined.)

It was actually raining the whole week, so luckily (or perhaps not so), it stopped during the time that we were out. During the final stretch of walking, a new rule came to mind:

"If you're ever lost on your way to an Anime Con (not that I was lost), follow the cosplayers."

Caught a glimpes of Zero as we lined up

http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/5163/p4040243.th.jpg (http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p4040243.jpg)

There were DVD-stores, then there were 5-dollar DVD stores. It's hard to get through the crowd though, wiffing in smelly people as it was hot while you tried. So in the end, the store I spent the most time at were the anime figure stores. There were also video-game stores and varous activites (pizza, war-game, VIP talks, art poster places etc).

Wouldn't be an anime convention without figurines now would it?

No doubt the most anticipated event that day was the Madman Cosplay Competition, and it was pretty fun to watch. (Madman is an Australian anime distributor). I'll aplogise for the quality of photos beforehand. Next time I'll either get a quality camera, fight for a better seat, or both.

Caught Sailor Moon before the comp started

You know, Kakashi reminds me of the fat Loki clone from Strongest Disciple Kenichi :p

Of course, I couldn't just come back with photos, so I tried my luck with 2 trading figures and a plushie:

The FSN figures came random out of the box. Really, if I had to pick two, the Tohsaka Sisters would have been the best matching pair. I didn't have the cash nor the mentality to bust through all the figures without guarantee, so I felt quite lucky and contempt with this.

Still, it always feels like someone is missing. Being the greedy fan I am, I asked my friend eBay....

There we go, no more regrets. (this particular collection also includes Archer, Rider and Illya, but I wasn't urging for them)

So for now, my desk looks like the following. Sakura and Rin look fine on the table, but Saber looks down too far, so I had to elevate her on a makeshift shelf.

Small start, but one step closer to this: :D

All in all, it was quite a fun experience. I won't be going to another one that's in May, but I might just turn out for the September show. :D.

That's indeed a very nice looking Tsubaki. I wish you had had the guts to take a better photo when you encountered her earlier.

Jolly good luck with the random figures, I've to say.

oh nice! man, this really gets me anticipating/wanting to go to an anime convention.. I haven't been to an anime specific one, only a few small all-forms-of-gaming-in-general cons.

daaaang, look at that tsubaki D:

there are (i'm pretty sure) a few anime cons within like.. 2-4 hours of me.. it's just a matter of figuring out dates and getting there..

Oh, nice pictures you have there Bill! Some of the cosplays are actually pretty fine and the figures you photographed are pretty cool, too.

I'm going to Otakon again this year. If you haven't gone to a convention you really should. Especially the big ones like Otakon, it's a blast.

Anyone going to the one in NYC this year? You can stay at my place, if going. Not sure if I'm going myself, but helping people makes me feel good. This time I have a HUGE ass living room space that has lots of couches and what not.

Anyway I'll host like 5-9 people so first come first serve.

That's pretty cool of you Saph, you win fembro points. How many people on the forum are actually from NY though?

A lot of people will probably fly in from out of state for the conference. If they live in the NYC area already, they'd probably commute.

Here are some pictures of the posters I got from NYAF! I finally put them up. I got a crap load.

One guy from China kept giving me free posters because I kept orgasming over how much I loved his art. So I got like $100+ worth of posters from him for like $25 bucks.

I didn't take any pics of actual NYAF 'cuz I was totally loving it in the moment. Also I'm shamed, because I vowed never to go to a convention unless I cosplayed, and I didn't cosplay.

Positive rep if you can name all of the anime the posters come from!!
