Expo/anime conventions

Anyone go to london expo over the weekend? or ever been to an anime convention for the matter?
I went to the one down london, and I have to say I found it amazing, might have been because it was my first one ever :3
I loved getting dressed up, hugs and being able to take random photos. So of the costumes people had were brilliant I'm denfinately going back in may.

 

I didn't go to one, but there was one being held across the street when I went to the mall once. I almost went, but the price drove me off. I couldn't afford it. It was cool seeing all these people walking around the mall in different anime costumes. I even pointed out a few to my mom who I recognized. lol...

My mom thought the whole thing was weird, but she's older and doesn't understand stuff like this. Probably one of the reasons I couldn't go to the convention itself.

 

yeah I went with my friend and her mam and dad and the whole time her dad was shouting "look at him" "my god what is she wearing" "can we go home yet" they didn't stay in the expo with us but in the hotels and stuff

 

I went to the New York ComicCon/Anime Festival last month.
It was quite an experience, probably one of the best weekends of my life, since demo playing a few of my favorite game sequels, cosplaying, and meeting up with a few KHV members turned out to be awesome. xD
I went as Holo from Spice & Wolf, but the next con I go to I might go as Toon Link. Just need to get a better sword and sheild first. >>

 

I always go to Anime Boston every year, and have dressed up pretty much every year I have gone to the con. I love it, it always falls on the Easter weekend when I have Good Friday off.

I was going to go to Another Anime Con (really what it is called) in New Hampshire this year, but it fell on a weekend I couldn't get off from work, so I missed it.

 

I've been to the one in Sioux Falls. I'm going to Nebrakon this year in Omaha on Nov. 5-7.

 

A friend of mine actually went to the same one you're describing, Namine. By the sound of it she and her friends enjoyed it. It's something I've been interested in, but, well... low budget.

 

yeah it costs quite a bit, I had to pay £100 for my share of petrol and hotel, then I took £100 spending money :/ + it cost me like £30 on top for cosplay, I made it myself instead of buying online


I'd love to go to a con in america :3

 

I'm going to Scotland's only Anime convention in two weeks. I'm so excited. I'm also cosplaying as Undertaker from Kuroshitsuji (the guy in my avi). It's also pretty cheap for a convention, £45 for 3 days.

I'm really looking forward to it, but I've been warned that PCD is really annoying so I'll watch out for that.

 

Same here. We hardly get any cons in England, or at least that are well covered. I only heard about this one you mentioned because my friend told me about it like a week beforehand.

 

that sounds awesome, I took a picture of people there cosplaying from, kuroshitsuji, well my friend did, I've never read the manga or watched the anime myself but these people looked awesome

yeah I know what you mean, I'm going to the one in may too, paying out of my christmas money, cosplaying suigintou and crossplaying as nekozawa from ouran high withh beelzenef if I can find the puppet somewhere to buy cheap.

 

I've attended a few but I don't cosplay. It's fun just strolling around, checking out the merchandise and having a few laughs.

 

I've only been to Anime expo. It's definitely losing it's fun. I like seeing all the cosplays and the merchandise that's there.

 

Sadly, I haven't cosplayed in a while, sometimes I'm just unsure on who to cosplay as ^^'. But I do go to conventions, most of the time to go spend money on the collectible merchandise.

 

Oh yeah, the MCM expo is bi-annual, isn't it? Hmm, well, if I can convince a few friends to come along, I may well go to that one. Gives me some time to build up a little wad of cash, and I might as well go to at least ONE while I can.

 

I'm going to my first anime convention in June!

I'll be cosplaying as Sakura Haruno.

 

I go to cons. c: I cosplay a lot. I have around 15 or 16 cosplays in my closet atm. :>
I go to AnimeIowa every year. And I've been to Anime Detour in Minnesota. I'm also going to QC Anime-Zing in Iowa. ><;

Ah, fun! ^^ I cosplay Sakura myself.

 

Which convention?

Anyway, I'm going to another con in January, I think it's called Kotori Con?
If I have time I'll be making an Oki costume, but if not I'm gonna be Holo again.
So atm I'm working on an Oki costume and planning an AC Tifa, lol.

 

My fisrt cosplay was a great sucess ^_^. I would post pics, but I didn't get very many of good qualiy. Not to self: BUY A WIG CAP!

I'll get more pics at my next convention which is in April (I think).

 

I'm going to A-con in june on the 10th 11th or 12th as Sakura Haruno. It will be my first.
