Zenkaikon Part II

After graduation, all the celebrations, and some time to myself, here's the promised post of Zenkaikon long overdue.

All I can say is I really enjoyed myself at my first anime convention! All the people, the energy, cosplayers, and events just made those 2 days very enjoyable for me. I met quite a number of great people and on top of it all, they share the same interest (anime and games!!). I definitely am going back next year again! I wish I can go to more of these conventions such as Otakon although they're rather far away and I lack the transportation as well as housing means *loooooong sigh*... for now that is!

Cosplaying was really fun, especially when people come up and ask for pictures ^_^ I don't think I'll ever attend an anime convention w/o dressing up as someone because this pretty much made Zenkaikon complete for me. I really wish to become close friends with several others interested in anime/manga/games in the future because well... we all want friends who share the same interest, right? And from there, do a group cosplay. Now that will be a new dream of mine come true: interest related friends and cosplaying together. In the meantime, I have even thought about what I should go as next time; I want to do some more cross over characters because well... not much of them are done and I hate being cliche/typical tehehe.

Those are my after thoughts of Zenkaikon and future plans in that area. And now, some pictures to wrap this post up!

My cosplay outfit with everything except the matching color shirt and pants of squirtle, got a lot of help from family in making this because I lack major sewing skills

Kamina's Cape with logo made using a stencil and fabric paint

With everything except my sword

Group shot I got called into of mostly TTGL folks :)

STRenght... that prop is serious business

Another STRenght on the second day! Also made friends with her too

  

Kingdom Hearts group, I like their cosplay a lot

Mario and Luigi pounding my friend (Jon as Mugen)

Panty Anarchy and Stocking Anarchy, they were a beautiful pair

Not sure where they are from sadly

RANKA LEE!!!! I got to watch her performance of Seikan  Hikou during the karaoke contest, a treat for the first night =3

Alice and Lulu desu~!

Don't know the guy with scythe but it looks badass; I love scythes.
And poor little Len on the right in danger!!

Kiari with a wonderfully crafted keyblade, there were a LOT of keybladders there

Another wonderful person I met there, I forgot who she was but she had a tail and  a windmill-fan-spinny thing :)

And lastly, her sister as Kairi as well with many KH dolls

Zenkaikon Part I

Gonna go to my very very very first anime convention today in less than 12 hours! So very excited with my my cosplay outfit 95% completed. I haven't spent so much time and effort on something since making the 3D model for my project on google sketchup. This cosplay certainly won't be possible without my family; literally my entire family. Sister helped make shell, mom helped with cape and gloves, and dad helped with the kamina glasses. The results are decent although it'd be better if I had more time to prepare instead of doing it last minute due to school work overload the week before. Will post pictures in a later update =]

Squirtle x Kamina

Ditto Previous Title

Being almost done with school... why not start another anime to celebrate the occasion? This time I went with Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai and unexpectedly as always... I stumbled into another emotional high point.

"whaaaaa?"

That's right, Menma, you nailed the reaction perfectly.

This one however was different from Macross Frontier. This time, it made me tear up, which was built up over the 11 beautiful episodes. Now animes that make me tear up are very rare. Looking at my list, the very first one was Kanon, then Clannad Afterstory and thats it with this being the third. This is why I love watching them.

And now... I feel like this.. tired and need sleep. Vanvi out! (Thank you for everything Japan, I love you)
