Dragon Warrior Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 If the Comic Con comes near where I live, 'm definately going to it. It has lots of anime stuff there. You can even meet voice actors from anime! ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsycoGoth Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 I'll be going to Animefest at the end of August in Dallas ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleanor Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 [size=1] I'm going to Anime Weekend Atlanta in September...It'll be the first convention I'll go to, and I'm very excited! ^_^ [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureWolf Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 I'd love to go, but so far there only seem to be big ones in the Western part of the US. There were a few here, but either I missed them, the fee was too much for my tastes, or they were for girls. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terra Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 On conventions ... I've never been to one, and I'm wondering for anyone who cosplays, what the appeal of it is. I'm not putting it down or anything, I would just like to know what you enjoy about it, as I've never done it :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PersonV01 Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Same here. No offense, cosplay is cool and all, but what appeals most to you people about it? It's a very curious thing to wonder about. Aside from that, what's it like at an anime convention? I've never been to one. Even though I know they have Anime cons here where I live, I don't have a group of friends to go with, so I don't go. *sniff* SO YA!! Anyways, what one like? Like what goes on and such? THANX (in advance)!! -Pv.01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxmagentaxX Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 I went to Anime Expo a few weeks back, 2nd year.. Im going next year for sure. We already have everything planned out.. my dad randomly decided to move to Houston so I can go to Animefest in Dallas and Onicon in Houston next year!

OtakuSennen Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Hm.. Could've sworn I posted in here... ^_^ I went to the Anime Expo in Anaheim, and searched for Shy and Syk, but to no prevail. :( I didn't cosplay, but I might want to next year.. I'm not sure though.. I don't like dressing up at all, let alone as blue-haired magicians.. (No offense.. Blue-haired magicians rock!! Hehe.. Elk.) For me, I only found out when it was gonna be 2 days before it started, so I was really caught off-guard. If I had known, let's say, a month in advance, I would've brought along my otaku friends (Wait.. There's only 2.) But I'm pretty sure one of them would have cosplayed.. ^_^ I plan on going back every year until (And after) I meet people from OB there. *waves OB flag* I wanted to go to the San Diego Comic-Con, but that's too far away, and again, on very short notice for me.

Spikey Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 I might go to one in the fall called C-Kon. But I don't knwo yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinzyger Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 [COLOR=firebrick][B]I'm going to Anime North with a few friends and my sister next May. *sparkly shoujo eyes* My first con! *reverts to normal eyes* I'm probably going to cosplay...Kitsune or maybe Ryoko Mitsurugi...Not sure. But I guess the point of cosplay is just to have fun. Like the point of all costuming: it's a chance to pretend to be someone else! *sigh* Halloween come early. C-ya on the other side! *flys off on one of her winged monkey soldiers*[/COLOR][/B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terra Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Hm, maybe that's the problem. I never enjoyed Halloween very much. Although I do think making the costume and taking pictures as an anime character would be fun, I'd feel a little strange walking around in public like that. Especially as I probably wouldn't end up looking like the character ... But hey, if you like it, more power to ya! And I've heard that people sometimes want to take pictures with cosplayers, which probably gives you that star feeling :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aya_Fujimiya_42 Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 Cosplay is Fun.. even tho..i only did it once.... But Cosplay is Fun none the less...Seeing peopl dressed up as their fave Anime Chactor... shows just how much people really love Anime... and how much there willing to spend....

Juu Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by OtakuSennen [/i] [B]^_^ I went to the Anime Expo in Anaheim, and searched for Shy and Syk, but to no prevail. :( [/B][/QUOTE] [color=ff00cc] [size=1]You should've told us you were going!!! :p Shy, Yoshi, and I met at the Anime Expo, after quite a while of looking for each other. Until then, I basically walked around taking pictures of people with really neat costumes, entered a few raffles, got a few free posters, and even posed for about three-five random people, when I wasn't even cosplaying as an actual anime character! ^ .^;; But once we met, we walked around the convention, got a few autographs, and talked for about an hour and a half. (Sudden Family Reunion popped up). It was really fun, and I really want to go again next year if I can. Maybe then, I'll actually dress up as an actual anime character! ^^;; (Not Athena anymore, though. They threw it away with all my other old boxes last month, so I've heard. :shifty: )[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TriGunMaSta68 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I am going to the Anime Weekend Atlanta with Maladjusted i think....if she will still let me =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purcatalli Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I went to A-Kon 14 in June. That was my first con, and I had a lot of fun. Cosplayed as Kyo from Dir en Grey. O.o I MIGHT go to Numa Rei-No Con in December. Dunno yet. I live in San Antonio....there aren't big anime conventions here. ;__; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terra Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 So ... having never been to an anime convention, nor read up on them, I actually have no idea what goes on there. Well, I've heard something like, anime showings and big anime personas ... or something. Anyone care to enlighten me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cool if any other OBers would go to the AWA convention if they live near Atlanta. I think so far the only people I know are going are keyblade, trigunmasta, and me. Although, we [i]still[/i] need some transport! lol. I'm probably going to raid the Dealer's Room. :P[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
