Fanime 2013

[lucathia_rykatu]

Fanime came and went in the blink of an eye! I'm very behind on a lot of stuff now, haha...

Anyway, Fanime 2013 in a nutshell: Ridiculous registration line. Endless Streetpass. Pics under the lj-cut~. Mostly of K, Magi, and Fire Emblem cosplay. And lines, since there was nothing else to take pics of. Snagged most of the pics from gem2niki's camera. The

Yay, I'm so glad I got to see you as much as I did! XD Swap Meet is tiring indeed but I actually really enjoy the selling part XD; lol. Not the carting a bunch of stuff to San Jose part, though...

Aaaah I wish I'd seen the K cosplayers, especially that Fushimi ~ I guess I was never in the right place at the right time. You found a lot of good groups! That reg line was a killer indeed... I can't believe it got LONGER after we registered (we went at 11 and waited 3 hours). XD I saw that fantastic KuroBasu group when we went to lunch, and they looked so natural eating lunch together so I got a pretty cute picture. =~.~=V Ooo you bought the Platinum Pair poster XD I saw that one, it was tempting. I'm glad it found a good home <3

Looking forward to AX!! Aaah I hope we can coordinate a time to wear Shin Tenipuri together! =^__^=

You seem to do really well at Swap Meet! You always have so much stuff to sell. XD;; I still haven't gotten rid of what I was trying to sell that one year, so all that stuff is still sitting around, haha. Man, and you have to bring all that stuff up too...

There were a lot of lovely K cosplayers! *___* We were especially keeping an eye out for them, and some did wander by g2n's table since she had K prints. XD;

Oh maaaaan, the registration line!!! Did you hear? I went to the closing ceremonies, and someone mentioned that we could have gotten our registration at Clockwork Alchemy!!!! It wouldn't have taken longer than 10 minutes. I never made the connection that both conventions share the same registration... Oooh, the KuroBasu group eating lunch. That sounds adorable! :3 Haha, I grabbed the Platinum Pair poster, yup, though there was a crease...

Hope we manage to coordinate a time to wear Shin Tenipuri! :DDDD As long as it doesn't conflict with the Fire Emblem gathering (I'm not sure when that is yet), I should be able to join!

XD; It's a combination of pricing and what you have to sell. I didn't sell some things I guess because they were over priced. I'm going to try again, selling them online this time. I keep saying I'm going to do that... but this time I mean it

[lucathia_rykatu]

Good luck with selling the rest! :3

Oooh, sounds like a lot of people heard about it. Have you ever been to Clockwork? I wonder what it's like over there... I really hope registration will be more efficient next year.

It seemed that they were selling whatever they had in the plastic sleeves! Really too bad...

I'm hoping to go to the Porno Graffiti concert, and I might go to the AMV contest. Oh, thanks for looking up when the FE gathering is, haha. I haven't done it yet! It would be fun if we crashed a Tenipuri video showing. XD;; I wonder if AX will show the second movie?

Shiro (shiroro) is the black one (Fuzuki) and Ayli (xaevyn) is the white one (Houzuki). =D

Oh yeah, also. XD Her name is Nanae. The explanation is Nana means 7, and e!! is supposed to mean "oops!!" (but we actually know it's more like "huh" XD), hence "7 oops."

[lucathia_rykatu]

I met Shiro on Friday, but I don't think I've talked to Ayli before! :3

Ooooh, I totally forgot that about 7!! Very cute way that they named their band. :)

YES the lines were horrible lol. I'm glad I got a chance to see you and gem2niki briefly though! And hopefully you both are feeling better now. ;; Being sick during cons isn't fun at all.

Your Henry costume is so beautiful. :D I'll look forward to seeing more pics of it when you go to AX. Thank you for taking our pics too. Once again we neglected to take any decent pics of ourselves, haha.

[lucathia_rykatu]

Did you two have to wait in line long too? I heard (during the closing ceremony) that we could have gotten our registration at Clockwork Alchemy too, and that there was barely a line there!!! D: I'm feeling much better now... Hopefully, I didn't get you sick. ^^;;

Will you be going to AX? :O Did you see any other UtaPri cosplayers? XD; I have a lot to fix for my cosplay before AX!

[revenus]

We got there at 8AM and waited about 2 hours and 45 min to get our badges, haha... Wanted to get there early since I'd read about the horrible wait time. Yeah! I heard literally right after we walked out of the Fairmont that we could've picked it up from Clockwork Academy too! Wish they had mentioned earlier that that was an option also...

Glad you're feeling better! Think I caught a cold from the con though... Ahhh, con flu, why. |D;;

I'm still unsure about AX, but if we do, I think it will be just for the 2-day weekend. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to talk to you more there. :D And I didn't see any more Utapri cosplayers that day, but I saw a few pictures of others afterwards. Sad I didn't get a chance to take pics with a bigger Starish group! Do you have any other costumes in the works?

[lucathia_rykatu]

Ahhhh, that's a long wait even though you went so early! The wait did get worse later on though, haha... Bleeeh, if it's the same next year, I'd really like to check out and see if the line at Clockwork is truly as short as they say...

Hope you feel better now!

Are there any guests at AX you're interested in? I'm excited for Porno Graffiti and Han Megumi. :D I'll be cosplaying Henry once again at AX, and also Kirihara from Prince of Tennis~. Probably just these two.

[oriaon]

Wah~ So many people! So much awesome! Just look at all this cosplay *O* And the fact that you make your own, mind blowing to me, who can stitch like, a line, and not even a straight one :'D

Anime Expooooooooooooooooo. I need to get my butt over to a convention someday so I can hang with you guys, haha! :P I'm staying at school this summer, and will be an hour away by bus. Cries.

[lucathia_rykatu]

I enjoy the making part of cosplaying a ton, though recently, my dad's been helping out with making most of my cosplays. Still, I feel more accomplished when my cosplays are homemade. :3 I do try to choose easier cosplays to make since I know I'm not capable of putting together something too complicated (and wearing them would be uncomfortable too!).

Ahhhhh, Ori, you need to come to AX one day! I want to meet you!!!! Hanging out at a con should be tons of fun. :)

[gem2niki]

woah a post already! lol... i think i'll just use your report haha.

[lucathia_rykatu]

I was going to write it on Monday actually, but then I got too lazy to write it then... At least I didn't let it drag too long, haha (otherwise, the post might have never happened). I used mostly your pics. =P
