Fanime Day 2

[lucathia]

*SCREECHES*

There was a Prince cosplayer at Fanime, omg. Saw her walk by in the Artist Alley, but I was behind the tables (and eating) and I didn't have my glasses on, so I wasn't sure. But when I left the Artist Alley later to use the bathroom, I saw her again (I was probably squinting, hahaha). She had a red jewel on her forehead, so I was fairly sure she was cosplaying Prince, but I asked just to make sure. XDDD WHOEVER YOU ARE, YOU MADE MY DAY. (To think I'd see a cosplayer of Yu Wo's series at an American convention!!!!) I was too shy to do anything else but snap her pic and then leave. :'D; /already felt like such a stalker

I so very much wished I was cosplaying Sun. XDDD I think I might actually give it more thought... even though no one will recognize me! I'll go look for a wig in the Dealer's Room tomorrow. His clothes will probably be a pain to make and wear though. XD;

Stuff I bought today! (Haikyuu!! Art Anthology ahhhhhhh, and lots of clearfiles! Haikyuu, Blast of Tempest, and Kamigami!)


I took very few pictures! /needs a new camera.


This was Thursday, Day 0! Came for Swap Meet, but the line was crazy so all I ended up doing was wander around the empty convention center. Here's the entrance to the Dealer's Room. The theme this year for Fanime is the beach! (Free! fits so well~). Fanime even made beach towel merchandise, LOL.


Here's the empty Artist Alley before the convention! The AA is located in the ballroom in the newly renovated section of the convention center. Such a pretty place! (Only downside is that there is no bathroom in the room! You have to leave the room to go to the bathroom. Still loads better than last year's location though. We only had portable bathrooms last year)


Line for Swap Meet was crazy. It was like this on Day 1 too. (This pic is of Day 0)


The only pic of cosplayers I took on Day 1, hahaha...


Here's the registration line. It was empty every time I passed by! They became so efficient this year! (The yellow tape is really just making you exercise, hahaha)

I spent most of my time today wandering the Artist Alley!

This is all I bought during that time~

klasdjf;lasdjfa; LIBRA. From Fire Emblem Awakening. They had a lot of the other characters too, but Libra is my top favorite~. She even gave me a high five after she asked me if Libra was my favorite. XD


kdfja;sdfj;sa Yowapeda! Onoda! (Who turned out to be gem2niki's friend and also the Donnel cosplayer I took a pic with last year, LOL. Small world. Same interests. XD)


They passed by our table and I was all like, noooo why are you on the other side!! Come, walk this way!!! But they never did. XD; Saw them again on the way out though, yay! Fire Emblem Awakening! I love the sword!


This Rei bought some of gem2niki's prints! :D He also seems to be following a lot of other sports series~~. (I was amused that right behind him was a Kurobasu cosplayer as well as a Yowapeda one. Oh this is truly the time of sports animanga!)

The Artist Alley had a lot of Yowapeda and Haikyuu!! art ahhhhhh. I ended up buying a Haikyuu!! artbook. *___* (How did they already put together one!!!!)


Meanwhile, outside the AA... XD;;; (Seriously a lot of shirtless guys this year. If you count all the titans running around too)


.hack!


Prince!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kjdf;asdjfajdfajfa Too bad her hair blended into the light, ahhhhhh. I took another pic of her against a blue wall but that one turned out blurry. OTL She has red eyes!!!! :DDDDD (I only used red contacts for two of my cosplays... I don't think I'll do it again. XDDD /walks around half blind already. But they really make the cosplay stand out!)

Around this time, I made a quick visit to the Dealer's Room to buy stuff I saw on Day 1 but was indecisive about (the clearfiles and plushies of Kuro and Shiro from K Project). Lots of stuff was already starting to be sold out, so I just went ahead and bought the stuff I'd been eying. XD;


Kuro and Shiro. So cute!


ksdjfsja;f;ja;f SPACE BROTHERS. KENJI. PERFECT POSE. He took a picture of me (I was cosplaying Bossun).

G2n also wanted the Kuro and Shiro, so I went with her to the Dealer's. XD;


CUTIES. Reese and Cyrus from Animal Crossing! Saw them while we were shopping for Kuro and Shiro. XD


kaleidoscopic27's cosplays are always so nice, ahhhhhhhhh. She has a table in the AA! She wasn't there when I first passed by though, but her friend was selling a Haikyuu!! art anthology! As well as a Fire Emblem Awakening one (which I'd already bought last year at Japan Expo). I came back with g2n so we could each pick up a copy of the Haikyuu one. XD;


It's so worth it! I especially love these two spreads~. They even gave me a free print, ahhhhh. (It's of Kenma! Really cute! All the Karasuno members are birds! XD)

And that's it... ahaha. XD; Wow this isn't a lot of photos at all. I was stuck in the Arist Alley pretty much all day. :'D I have ZERO pics of myself! (I already have plenty of pics of me as Bossun from previous years though, so whatever. XD;;)

We left AA before 7 to head to the MusicFest. Home Made Kazoku took the stage around 7:30! They were awesome! I only really knew their song from Eureka seveN (it kind of made me want to cosplay Eureka again... but noooo, my wig for her is a disaster, so I can't, boo) and their songs from Naruto and Bleach. They were really good at getting the crowd hyped up, and their English was so good! (Makes sense, since they lived in the US when they were young). I really love all the mentions of being one big family~~

Hm, who to cosplay tomorrow... *goes to look through closet*

Uwaaaaah if we can meet up and attend the same con, it'd be the most AMAZING thing ever!!!
(We should totally cosplay LSK together *flails* i would so take up baking and make you cookies if you decide to cosplay Sun xD)

Rofl that kenshin photo... Good times good times xD

I want abs that awesome for crossplays *____*
*imagines a Blaze cosplay with such abs*

[lucathia]

kflj;sdjf;sa;f That would be so amazing ahhhhhhhh. (LOL yes bake for me, Lucathia does not know how to bake ahhhhh but does love eating sweets hahaha)

asjda;da I can't imagine showing my stomach XDDDD (even arms and legs is a lot for me, haha). /goes out with long sleeves and long pants. Only time I ever really show my legs is during cosplay...

*___* A cosplay of Blaze? omg (Yes, abs for that would look awesome. XDD) Actually, even for... Storm... And Roland with his leotard lololol.

[kiyutsuna.livejournal.com]

One of these days, let's meet up at a con ahaha xD;;;
(I can't really bake either, but I can make edible things while following instructions ahahah //bricked)

Come to think of it, I've never even shown legs during cosplay 0.0;;;; lol thus the perks (?!) of only doing cross-plays xD;;;;

I will drool a river if someone actually cosplayed storm and Roland and had perfect abs for each... (Then I shall stalk them and make them do lovey dovey poses for me *nod nod*)

[lucathia]

I would love that so much. ♥ (Well, I can follow instructions. XD;; But I haven't really tried baking all that much)

Ah, are all of yours crossplays? XD;; I have a mix of the two. I cosplayed Maya today. It was cold wearing such a short skirt!!! /not used to it. I also had to show off my legs when I was cosplaying Prince of Tennis though, in the past (shorts!!!). Huh, I had to wear shorts for several of my crossplays, actually! (SKET Dance, Shugo Chara, Prince of Tennis...)

adjfad;fasfjadjf Oh god~~ That would be such a sight to see, ahhhhhh. (And together? EVEN BETTER)

(fun fact I thought about cosplaying original novel Ceo before)
and then there's this friend of mine who tried talking me into cosplaying manhua Roland's Death Knight armor when I first showed pictures to her

[kiyutsuna.livejournal.com]

Do iiiiiiiit
Do iiiiiiiiiiiiit
Then show us pics <3

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

I actually looked at wigs the other day... maybe for the last con of the year.... once I got a new sewing maschine because sewing one coat by hand is enough per year :'D

[kiyutsuna.livejournal.com]

*adds Fanime to list of cons to attend one day* it sounds like funnnn~~~

Yup xD two versions of Len, L, Prince, and Okita /o/ the most show-y was regular Len I guess? But even then most of my arms and legs were covered by those arm/leg warmer thingies @.@
Meanwhile Okita had the most layers ahahah xD;;;;

Hdlakdjakjdjajs yessssssss omg /o/

[lucathia]

Fanime is quite nice~~. A lot less stressful than Anime Expo, the other convention I go to every year, because it's local. And smaller. But it's actually gotten a lot more crowded over the years too. But since I didn't really have much in the terms of new cosplay this year, I got a little bored. -__-;; Hope I can put something together for Anime Expo coming up in July...

Hahaha, yeah, Prince and Okita are all covered up, aren't they? XD; Len slightly less~~~.
