I went to my very first Anime Expo convention this year.
I've always wanted to go to one, so when a couple of my
friends invited me to go with them, I readily accepted.
It should go without saying, but I had a lot of fun.
It was pretty overwhelming, though. Since it was
my first convention, I wasn't exactly sure of what to
expect. The convention center was packed with
attendees and exhibitors. There was just so much
to do there. We mostly just wandered about and
took pictures of the cosplayers. Even so, I had a
good time.
This has nothing to do with Kana
Little Sister, but I felt like sharing some of the
pictures that we took, anyways. Some of them
didn't come out as good as I had hoped, though. A
major problem was that some of the sections at the
convention center had lighting that didn't like our
camera. Some of the pictures were a little too
dark, and some were a little blurry. But hey,
we're not professional photographers. You can find
more/better pictures of the expo if you just search
around, anyways. This just gives you a taste of
what I personally experienced.
And yes, my friends and I did
cosplay. We helped each other out and made our own
costumes. For the most part, they came out pretty
good. A few people took pictures of us at the
expo, but not too many. Mostly, it's because are
characters weren't easily recognized. We didn't
choose characters from well-known and popular animes
such as Bleach or Naruto (ugh). Our characters
come from a manga that hasn't turned into an anime (at
least, not yet), so it's not surprising that only a few
people recognized us. The manga is called
Zombie Powder. My friends went as Gamma
Akutabi and Wolfina, and I went as Balmunk. You
can see us in the first picture in that respective order
from left to right (the person who took our picture
blurred it). I'm on the right. I think that
this is the first time I've ever uploaded a picture of
me. o_0
These are only some of the pictures
that we took. I'm thinking about uploading all of
them in a different manner, later. But until I do
that, I want to share some of my favorite ones.
For now, I've reduced their sizes and only touched up a
few of them that badly needed it. So, forgive me
for their current quality. Also, I don't know the
name of every character shown here since some of these
were taken by my friends and not by me. I've named
the pictures either by the character's name or the
game/anime that they come from.
