Anime Expo is one of the biggest Anime conventions in North America, and I am so glad I went this year! It was the first convention I was able to squeeze into my summer schedule, and I had a great time! The only down side: Suzette and Billy decided to tag along... I don't wanna sound rude, but it was actually really annoying to have to deal with them! Suzette, who hasn't been to a convention in years and Billy who had never been to such a large event! While I was wanting to run around and go to panel after panel, and visit all the booths, they were ready to leave only after a couple of hours! And this was after they had made me late to arriving to the convention! By the second day, I decided to ditch them and leave them to their own devices. And on the 3rd day, I was alone! I hadn't realized till this time how much I had become accustomed to going to conventions alone! I mean, it was fun to watch Billy's reaction to all the cosplayers, and to shop with Suzette, but it eventually became too much of a hassle...
Because I was too busy running around to different events, including an open audition for Bang Zoom! Entertainment ((to be discussed in another post)), I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked. But here are some cute cosplayers I saw, amongst other congoers:
 |
| A Life-Size Rilakkuma! |
 |
| Suzette got excited- Harvest Moon is one of her favorites! |
 |
| I just thought he was adorable! |
 |
| A My Little Pony Puppy- Poor Poodle! |
 |
| HAHA! I loved them! Sexy Mario, Luigi & Toad! |
 |
| Some intense Halo cosplay! And they were great dancers! |
 |
| Loved her Creative Cosplay! |
 |
| So many people! |
 |
| Oh, just a life-size functional Dalek, No big deal. |
 |
| Is this cute or creepy?? |
 |
| My favorite purchase of the con! o(>v<)o |
Overall, I had a great time! Conventions like this really make me realize how many people out there love Anime just as much as I do! One of my favorite things about this year: the theme was Naruto! And, not only was I watching Naruto Shippuden at the time, but AX's theme back in 2005 was ALSO Naruto!! How much more of a sign did I need to know that this was a good year to attend?? Anyhoos, I can't wait till Anime Expo 2014! And hopefully, in the next few years, I'll be one of those VA guests holding a panel!! Stay Tuned!
Sincerely Yours,
Lisette Diaz
