Anime Punch Review
Anime Punch was okay. Not much to do really. :/ Mostly centered around anime
Friday-Arrived around 5ish and went into Yamcha costume. Fooled around. Went to who's line. Saw Sam in her Sailor Jupiter outfit and met her friends that hung out with her and hung out with her til I got sleepy.
Saturday-Premiered my new cosplay outfit. Fuu from Samurai Champloo. Some people did recognize it, some didn't. Went to get judged around 1ish. Hung out with Sam pretty much all day in artist alley,dealers room,etc til the masquerade. Showed off my costume on the walk on. And..I WON AN AWARD! (Sunflower Samurai Award). Got a nice price, a dvd boxsett of Magical Girl Nanoha. Took off costume and hung around in the bar with Sam's friends, Sam, her husband. Patrick Seitz (George in Paradize Kiss, Ichigo's Dad in Bleach, and the Linch King in Wow) remembered me and started talking to me and us. Cool guy. Offered us drinks too. *I don't drink though. The only thing I had at the bar was Pineapple Juice*. Friends were amazed when they found out that he was the voice of the Lynch King in World of Warcraft. We went to the rave some but left. It sucked, really.
Sunday- Had to leave early. No costume that day.
Overall okay.
Other review.
Good-
Location
Staff-Nicest I have seen.
Hotel Staff-Nice as well. We even got a free cookie for our rooms
Gaming room had a lot to offer. Especially import games
Video rooms had good anime. Enjoyed Patlabor
Main events-Saw whos line. Great as usual.
Okay-
Dealers room had a good selecion but I could always use more like videogame stuff and imported manga
Panels-I really didn't attend any (didn't see anything interesting) but you could always do more panels on cosplaying and other obscure stuff
Bad-
Location of dealers room in a tent. Saw some stuff knocked down due to wind. I heard rumors many said they woudn't resturn unless it wasn't in a tent.
con goers need better manners- There was a giant party Friday night and they didn't shut up til 2 am. We reported this but they still woudn't shut up. Also, some kids under 21 were drinking.
hug me signs-BAN THEM! I simply told people no when I didn't need a hug and they didn't but there were only two times when people hugged me WITHOUT my permission. I told one Kingdom Hearts cosplayer I didn't needed a hug and she hugged me anyway when I told her not to. I didn't remember her face because she ran away giggling or I would have reported her (or any. She could have ruined my costume.
Oh, and here is a pic of my Fuu from Samurai Champloo.-
