My First Anime-Con

Yay! I just got back from my first ever Anime Convention!

...and I use the word "Convention" very loosely. There were a few vendors, a couple boards, a game room, and a raffle, but it was more like a "gathering" than a "convention". At any rate, I had fun. I went dressed as Issac from Golden Sun and my friends went as Chun-Li and Kingdom Hearts Cloud Strife (expect pictures soon!). Also, I came back with some nice swag: a Black Yoshi Doll, a Fighter Kirby Plush, a Death Note, and a Black Materia for my friend.

All in all, not a really noticeable convention, but I do live in Arkansas, so I can honestly say it was more than I really expected. Next time I'll try to go to one in Texas. ^^

Anyway, what was your first convention like? Have you ever cosplayed? How did it go? Discuss.

my best friend and former gf once pulled me to a anime con cause shes totally into it...
i was feeling a bit lost between guys with costumes, wigs and very complicated dyed and styled hair...

Same as Everphoenix, never been to one, and on the idea of cosplay i have no idea who i'd go as, i mean i can think of a handful of characters but choosing between them would take me a while, but it's safe to say that i'd most probably have to dye my hair either red, blue or blonde if i did, the costume would be a pain in the ass too...

Go as Ash Ketchum for the lols, or mudkip. I wouldn't go probably but cosplaying can be pretty cool when done right, check it out

presuming your the one in the blue... your friend is less gay then you

psychokind · Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2009 6:55 am Post subject:

it looks quite a bit gay

I'm sorry^^ but you can say that about almost every cosplayed-male on an animecon.

looks cool. wheres the psynergy?

oh and doesnt isaac have lighter hair?

it'd probably be better if the colours weren't as bright as they are, to me you can tell it's a costume, i mean it's more blatently obvious than that it's the clothing of a game character, the colours are just too bright, apart from that it's fine, the jeans are the only convincing part, no comment on your friend's costume, i never really liked the kingdom hearts cloud, the second one was better.

on top of EverPhoenix' comment: he's got spikey hair too, you just don't quite cut it...

sorry if i seem too harsh, but that's the way it is...
