Anime Conventions

[Trunkins]

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.

Here, I have a few pictures of me at A-Kon 15
And for morw pics... check out my web page

[Assassin]

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 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 went to Anime Expo this year, enjoyed it, and I usually go to Sakura Con since I live in WA state.
Lefy I'll probably be going to Sakura con 2005 too [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

[PSJ]

i rather not... check the pics that is.

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

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

[Lefty]

Yeah Mut@t@ will be pleased to see this.

[Eurasian]

i went to anime expo...but i didn't cosplay. but i did take lots and lots of photo. i thought it was dorky...but then everyone cosplayed and i end up being dorky for not cosplaying. but i have dedication like some ppl. they spend month some even years. if i do cosplay, i'll buy it from ebay.

[PureSkill]

heh i live in texas, closest one would prolly be the one in dallas ^. Nice pics btw...

[ShinobiNeko]

[Death BOO Z]

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.

[theblakeman]

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 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

EDIT: Dude wtf Lefty you go to Sakura Con too? Wow. What part of Washington you live in?

[Kaji]

Im not really big on cons, but AWA *Anime Weekend Atlanta* Is next weekend, I'll definatly be there to check it out

[HimizujinEternia]

I'm gonna be at Nan Desu Kan in Denver tomorrow, Ghetto-cosplaying Luffy from One Piece. Fear me.

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.
