I went to my first anime convention this week and it was EPIC!!! I'm going to be gong to anime conventions till I'm the creepy old lady in a miniskirt. Of course I felt like an uber nerd dressing up and one of my many favorite characters (Allen Walker from DGM, just you wait Edward Elric I'm going as you next >: D) I found it funny that normal people stood out more than the people in elaborate costumes. Took me 8 mountain dews and a bag of chips and a bag of goldfish to get through the entire thing so at the end I felt the wave of fatigue I push back to my mind during the con.

The first day was the biggest impact at first it was quiet as we parked in the nearby sears parking lot until we say a guy in a pikachu costume walk across followed by a little boy in spandex. It instantly felt like home and my friend and I headed in. So many costumes so little time and I forgot my memory card so I didn't get any pictures til Saturday, I stole my friends disposable camera to take the FMA group shots however the first day was more of a lurk around and visit the panels. I was caught off-guard as a person yelled "Allen" and glomped me but I quickly got use to that and started to respond to Allen more than my real name.

The next day was the busiest and I got only a few pictures because I didn't keep my camera ready. Me and Mary fought our way into the dealers and checked out all the goods but didn't purchase anything and mainly did everything but the panels including the photo shoots anime showings arcade and taking pics of people in costumes. The D.gray-man shoot was one of the best ones I was at and even spiced it up with a little fanservice. We didn't have many ones were we just stood there we acted out parts and had some motions to ours. Still the fanservice part beat out the rest, I usually hate seeing the characters do stuff like that when they're straight but seeing it in person just makes you laugh.

The last day wasn't the most exciting but I got to talk to more people in the morning since it wasn't nearly as bust until 11. I mostly wanted to get some last pics of everyone costumes but they were the same as me and tiered of wearing the uncomfortable ones. I still had people recognize me even thought I was wearing normal dress under my coat and no wig. We started to watch the otaku family feud but was unenergetic and we lost interest since it was too hard. The questions themselves were simple but you had to think of the most popular series. So if one asks "name a insane character" and I said Dr. Muraki for Yami no Matsuei it would have been wrong because he isn't popular (but still fucked up in the mind). We left after that and got home around 3 and passed out.
