Cosplay and Conventions Have you ever been to an Anime Convention?

I haven't been to an anime convention, mostly because my friend tell me that people cosplay as neon genesis characters... and i just loathe people who shame that great anime by their lack of work into their costumes..

 

never been, jus missd a big1 a week ago, but i have been to several hunting and gun conventions... :anime: :sweat: but if i did go, id cosplay as a ANBU ninja(so i could wear a mask and noone could say i dont look like the character

 

Nope. I have never been to one. Does that stuff ever happen in Alabama? heh for some reason the idea of wearing a costume bothers me. My friends did manage to get me to dress up for the Georgia ren fair though. heh this booth tried to sell me shoes... I'm guessing because there were no medival tennis shoes :sweat2: of course there were no medival L.L. Bean book bags either, yet no one bothered me about that.

 

I WILL be going to one. It's going to come England Going to be held at Leicester University for 3 days commencing 11th August 2006 (until 13th)... I've got 3 friends who have agreed to go... just waiting for the online registration to open -_-

Anyone interested should check out Amecon 2006

yes i went to the biggest anime convention on the east coast the otakon convention

 

Kenshin

Yeah i went to 2005 Anime Central in Rosement, Illinois. I cosplayed as Kenshin Himura, the Battousai.

 

Last convention I went to was ConCon up here in CT. It was rather good for a smaller convention. I mean, I loved the dealers room for it. Mostly manga..>.> And we all know I am a manga fiend! *dances* So yeah, the tournaments were adorable and I got third in their SC2 tourny. Made my week really. I can't wait for it this year...

25-27 of july in hartford, ct.

I just realized, only time I ever posted in this thread was telling someone else it was okay. XD Pay attention, Baph!

I've been a regular volunteer at Nan Desu Kan in Denver, CO for the past three years and plan on doing it again this next October. I worked security at Ikasucon in Cincinnati, OH this past year in July (if I remember correctly). Also, last March, I was at AniZona in Phoenix, AZ. I have cosplayed at all three, as both Shino (Naruto) and Reiji (Dragon Drive). I have also been asked to work security at A-Kon in Dallas, TX but could not due to time constraints; I might actually be able to do that this year.

 

I just went to Megacon. Pics will be posted in the pics section.

 

Definitely Been to One

I have only been to one convention solely for Anime/Manga. It was the Big Apple Anime Fest. Went to the last one ever. :sad: However, there are a lot of mini comic conventions in NY that has a big anime/manga vendors. Not many artists attend.

I went to NY's 1st Ever NEW YORK COMICCON in Feb 2006 & it was the best ever. It was so packed at Jacob Javitz Center the fire dept had to turn people away and ask people to leave. People actually came from surrounding states to the convention. There was a lot of Costplay and a lot of anime/manga. VIZ, Del Rey, Tokyo Pop are a few publishers that were there. Screenings of a lot of new and upcoming anime. It was great. I am looking forward to next years comic com. :anime:

First convention, I was completly lost.

Second, well, there was a lot of hugs I love how people recognise Mustang and Hughes so easily, and when together, pwn3d.
