AGF 2012 Part 2: Purchases

[kitsune_no_ame]

Let's be perfectly blunt: there were enough opportunities and it was definitely possible to throw yourself in the abyss of financial ruin in just one day at AGF. Along with the conventionally overpriced games and CDs, AGF had a lot to offer in terms of limited goodies. A look at Animate's AGF shop can give you a good idea of what to expect

The clear file and the black bag look very good! And the contact box had some anime motiff?

About the concention so many things, so beautiful, so little time, too many people and so little money (good summary?)

I would loved to be there!

There was fangirls of all ages or only twentysomething and under?

I always had wonder where the older fangirls are? They have their own conventions? Or they buy things by proxy? I'm thinking in still young 36-45 fangirls? I know even if they are less of them than younger ones , there must be out there or not? Only underground?

And the contact box had some anime motif?
Yes, the logo of the school in Starry Sky ^^

>Age:
There were a lot of 30something fangirls. I also saw older ones, and 2 cosplaying ladies had to be AT LEAST 50.
I was surprised that there were significantly less teenagers than at our western cons. A few highschoolers, but not the majority.

Starry sky! Yay!

About age, That is good!!

Because when you are fangirl at 30 i think it is dificult you will be not fangirl at 50 and you need a place to go and be happy and look for the thing you like and even cosplay if you like! That part is awesome!
Because not all old fangirl can be mangakas, seiyuus, editors, shop owners, and the like...only faightful fangirls and boys. ;D. So i was worry about they had a place.

You will be attending another convention in the future?
Except for the ticket for signature, and the crowds this sound like fun.

I don't think there is a problem with age of fangirls here, at least not at such events. I think the cosplayer ladies got a few weird looks because they really wore TOO MUCH makeup to look younger, it was a bit ridiculous. If I were 50 I would only cosplay mature ladies (there are enough kick-ass adults in animes), not try to pass as a school girl. It's all about measure.

I will definitely be attending Winter Comiket in December (and blog about it) and if I can find some nice cosplay events I will also join. Other than that I don't know about any other big event in Tokyo before March, but if there is I would definitely like to go.

WHUT StaSka Kontaktlinsen lol Irgendwie stell ich es mir voll creepy vor haha

Hehe hast dir doch noch den kleinen Koffer gekauft :) Der sieht auch relativ stabil aus.

Die UtaPuri Kissen waren mal Los Gewinne, haben sie die Kissen später einzeln verkauft? Ich weiß,dass Animate China sie entweder verkauft oder auch als Los Gewinn vertickert haben.

[kitsune_no_ame]

Nur die Dose für die Linsen. Schon praktisch für Blindfische wie ich, haha.

Der ist eigentlich ganz OK. Würde es jetzt nicht unbedingt im Flughafen abgeben, aber so als Handgepäck müsste es schon was aushalten. Schon mies, dass die nichtdraufschrieben wieviele Doujinshis reinpassen, tze.

kA ich habe viele verschiedene Kissen gesehen, die schien aber auch jeder zu kaufen, also schätze ich mal es wurden die Überreste verkauft??

The Amnesia carry case is so cute!!!!!>,< ♥♥♥

I like your purchase!=3

>>They really overdid it with the abs and the price, but it did not stop some from getting the entire set...
The power of the abs...XD

I'm curious about the next post!=)

[kitsune_no_ame]

Thank you >__< I'm also really happy that I only bought useful stuff xD

Sometimes it's borderline creepy to see the abs of anime characters, especially the very skinny ones, like how does that even work?

Post is in progress :P

Okay, that might be some overpriced cosplay, but those Blue gang K-project uniforms look amazing.

Yay to your new Amnesia carry bag! I rather like it =)

[kitsune_no_ame]

But it is usually possible to get similar quality uniforms much cheaper from other stores (Nakano etc) because ACOS is really overpriced. I checked out their wigs today, nothing below 5000Yen
