Salon del Manga 2009 (anime con report)
If my computer stops dying, here's my report for this year's Spanish anime con!
Please note that I didn't take photos of the awesome cosplay. If you want to see them, please visit this page. Also, the con was full of Ls and Misas, as it's custom www
From left to right: Javi (Viesa), Lydia, Carol, me, my sister lovelessinma , and my boss (and friend) Ruben from Kamikaze Factory. Everyone holding O.U.T cards, which is the manga my sister has published this year for the anime con (^o^)
DAY 1
Miracle Candy
The first thing I did when I arrived was to look for any lolita little shop. And there I randomly found...
MISAKO.
Walking.
Around.
( ' v ' )
Wait. You need to see that again.
AKANE AND MISAKO, POSING TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Such an epic moment in my life!!! (*O*) I look half-serious on the pic, but I was actually bouncy and dying in a good sense ;;
She's super cute and petite and I feel like a monster by her side gfsdgdgfgfg
I also love the other model, Kimura Yu. She's so happy, she melts my heart with her charming smile and words (><)
This was the best way to start the anime con!!
Moving on, the first day wasn't too crowded, as always. I mostly took photos of things, more than people.
Those are, apparently, Spanish replicas of the original Death Note figurines.
And because both novels and vol.13 have been licensed in Spain, there was such huge and cool Death Note decoration (*o*)
I took a look at the prologue of the BB novel and it was really badly translated ;;
Not like I was expecting better from Spanish translations. They'll never get the character's voice right, and will eat all the drama from Mello's words away.
Here is a "doujinshi" called "ukes' rebellion", featuring L as main (>w<)
I was so amused!
And decoration featuring sister's manga O.U.T, among other Japanese manga (the girl in the middle is hers).
Sister and I.
Batman, Javi, and I.
Viesa likes Batman! Viesa winks with happiness!
And here you have two Batmans, or so sister's boyfriend said.
DAY 2
Fruits Parlor
Time to be blonde!! It was fun (>w<)
(This was actually an experiment placing the bow on the side, but I usually wore it in the middle).
Yuna-chan said that blonde hair didn't look bad on me (T_T)
And speaking of Yuna-chan... I repeat what I said the last year: she is SUPER COOL. And I felt closer to her this year, it was really nice talking to her. I felt that I could talk to her about anything, and she didn't seem to be weirded out by my oddness and hyperness ;
The girls looked so pretty that day~
Eating (I didn't want to sit down on the floor, though, so I ended up so tired ;;; )
I took this photo from the homepage I linked before. This was at the press conference where Misako and Yu-chan would be interviewed. It was so nice (*o*) ////
This boy was very nice, but he took my hand for one of the photos as if I was a princess and I almost had a heart attack ;; ///
Sister's boyfriend and Javi. Happy times with Keroro Gunsou. (Yasu-san might enjoy this photo a lot).
Have some cool AssassinCreed cosplay.
And this is one of the most bizarre and epic scene I've ever seen. Sister's boyfriend and Javi... taking a photo with Misako and Yu-chan (^^;;;;
They put thumbs up, so the two girls did the same, how cute is that? sdfsdffdgdg
*Melts*
On the way back by subway train, Javi named this moment "society's pressure against lolitas".
DAY 3
Melty Chocolate
Melty Chocolate time! Now I realize that I should have moved the minihat more to the side (=A=;
It looked right in the mirror, though ;;
Saturday is always the most crowded day. It's difficult to walk ;;;
It's also the most eventful day.
<-- Yoshi family!
Random nice people who approached me and said "LET'S POSE FOR A HEART PHOTO!", and suddenly it sounded super fun (*o*)
So we did it.
And later on I met these uber cute Japanese girls and did heart pose too (>w<)
The moment was full of "kawaii! Waaa, kawaii!"
♥
This is another boy from my city cosplaying Reborn character, we kept running into each other at the con.
Lethal pairing!
Aah, Misako and Yu-chan looked so cute that day (TwT) (like everyday, really).
----------
THE L ADVENTURE
Walking around, I met this L and took a photo of him.
L kakkoii yo L
Later on, I saw him again.
ME: Excuse me... have I taken a picture of you already?
HE: Yes... but you can take another one if you want? (^_^;
ME: *Does so* (*O*)
The third time he was with a Misa, and I took a photo of the two of them.
The forth time, he gave me a hug as if we were old friends, and we exchanged e-mails (^^;;;;
It was so exciting *laughs*
----
RUBEN'S ADVENTURE
My boss and friend from Kamikaze Factory, Ruben... the last year, I took a picture of him with a boy who used to have a crush on him in the past.
So this year, I asked him "where is your uke friend, by the way?" (they haven't met from the last anime con the past year).
Ruben looks to the side, thinking about his uke friend... and then...
RUBEN: Oh, he's there.
I died at that moment (^^;;;;;;
So they talked because it had been a long time.
And...
RUBEN: Akane, why don't you take a photo with him? He's cute, isn't he?
AKANE: ... ( ' v ' );;; ? Eh? What?
Really embarrassing moment ;;;
*Teased to no end*
-----------
More things!
Wammy's House loves me.
This bottle offers free hugs (or whatever else develops).
Never seen before by Mr. Yan an anime con!
Some big DN group (no Mello and Near, though).
I also saw a Mello and a Matt... and took a photo just with the Mello, separating them because I'm evil (-o-;
I saw a few Nears, and another Mello I lost in the crowd and couldn't take a photo of.
And this...
...Is a friend I made at the anime con four or five years ago. We meet ever year, he's so great (T_T)
I'm always very happy to see him.
Overall, the day was the best in my opinion. I met many friends from the past con (like the always kind Caryltis or the Mello and Near awesome cosplayers from the last year), and made a few new ones.
DAY 4
Angelic Princess
For a full shot of the whole Angelic Princess dress, please refer to this post.
Arcadia Dolls.
Kurololi kita----( ' v ' )-----!!
I've ALWAYS wanted to take a photo dressed as shirololi besides a kurololi. My dream came true!
I also found a prince.
And I also took many photos with lolitas, but I'm not sure if they'd like me to post their photos here. If any of you who met me at the con is reading this, please let me know if you don't mind your photo posted (^^)
I can send you a preview if you wish. All of them were so pretty.
One of the lolitas has many of the dresses I have in different colours, so she told me that we could try to go twins the next year. That would be a lot of fun!!
This one is for Nami.
Best Misa of the con (*_____*)
AAAAND...
Photo with the uber cool and wonderful Yuna-chan, who spent the whole day bearing with me~
Myaa, that was a very long report, ne? ;;
Longer than previous years.
As a final note, I'd like to say that I LOVE the Spanish anime con, and all the people on it (minus a few mean lolitas www). It's like being in a different, wonderful world. I love making friends, I love hugging everyone, while the rest of the year I hate being touched and dislike people in general. It's like I don't really live, I have a serious lack of human interaction because my city isn't a good place to meet interesting people ;;
But at the anime con, I feel that I can be myself without being misjudged, and that's wonderful. I was very sad when it ended.
Also, when a certain boy touched my arm to talk to me... I guess it meant nothing to him, but I'm not used to being touched by anyone who isn't my family, so it meant a lot to me.
I might have a crush, but I'll never ever do anything about it.
The con ended, so... until the next year!~
Please note that I didn't take photos of the awesome cosplay. If you want to see them, please visit this page. Also, the con was full of Ls and Misas, as it's custom www
