I was busy working again this year at Kawaii-Kon so I didn’t get to take much pictures xD. So I scoured the net for pictures of others and will post them up for you to see ^^.

Try to guess all the cosplay characters xD.

AME 8th Avenue Poster

After two weeks of vacation and two weeks of trying to figure out what’s wrong with my computer and its Internet connection, I can finally enter the cyberspace, watch my Anime and make a blog post. ^^

I went to this Event last weekend and I really enjoyed it. The theme is Harajuku. What is Harajuku anyways?  Harajuku is the common name for the area around Harajuku Station on the Yamanote Line in Shibuya in Tokyo. The area is known for its youth style and fashion. A few clicks on the Google will give you something like this.

I was expecting everyone to be so colorful in this event. Some girls took dressing up too seriously, but some did not.

The Event featured JMusic Karaoke Competition, Fanart Gallery, Code Geass Cafe, Speed Dating Booth, Cosplay, Harajuku Fashion Showdown and many more.

Here are some of the pictures from my camera.

Last weekend, I went to this local cosplay event held in a Megatrade hall in Megamall. The place is so jam packed. There are so many cosplayers and so many people. There are booths where you can get freebies but I failed to go through all of them because of the crowd.

I really hate myself for forgetting to bring a real camera. Well, I could not blame myself because it was a bit unexpected. But, hey, bringing a camera won’t hurt for heaven’s sake. I ended up taking pictures with my crappy phone. I didn’t really get good pictures because the resolution of the camera is pretty low. Half body shots only.. no whole body shots… Also, there are so so so many people there that you won’t find a good place to bring the cosplayer.

I arrived at the event pretty early, around noon. It was still early but according to my ticket, I was the 1575th to come. The place is pretty small for some thousand of people. Can you imagine how many people were there after 2-3 hours. I felt like I was in Akihabara (though I have never been there) because if you failed to line properly, you would end up in a place you didn’t intend to go and you can’t help it. The crowd will take you away.

I’m putting up pictures. Yeah I know they’re crappy, but for the sake of putting up pictures, I’m putting some.[?] I reduced their sizes by the way…

Carcaptor Sakura. The cosplayer is pretty young.

The one on the left is from a game. And the one on the right is Dark Magician girl. LOL

OMG. Star wars.

She’s the accomplice of Jigoku Shoujo. Her dress is really nice. Too bad I wasn’t able to capture it. And I can’t step back any further. Crowd.

Saber! OMG. Fate/Stay Night.

It’s Anya. Code Geass. OMG. If only I took some more pictures. She really does look like Anya.

It’s Yuuko-san. xxxHolic. She’s my favorite among all cosplayers. She’s kind and adorable too. I’m taking her home. I wish I took more pictures of her. She had a nice dress and very cool hair.

I also took some pictures on the catwalk. But they move too much that I can’t get a nice shot.

It’s Kallen! And she’s holding a Pizza Hut. XD

A guy from Ouran High School Host Club.

It’s Voltes V. OMG. My past time hero. LOL.

Spiderman?.. What are you doing in here. LOL.

That’s C.C and Lelouch.

It’s nice to say that Naruto cosplayers have gone down. Code Geass and Vampire Knight are the ones that are popular now a days on cosplayers.

I also recorded a video of Akatsuki characters(Naruto) doing the Hare-hare yukai and Caramelldansen. LOL. But the video is crappy crappy crappy.. But that was fun.

Overall, even though it’s really tiring because of the crowd, I really enjoyed it. I have to go now. Voltes V-sama might slice me into pieces.

Well I took a very long vacation (8 days away from my computer xD) though it felt longer than 8 days ^^. One thing I visited while in California was Fanime in San Jose. I’ve never been to another anime convention besides the local anime convention where I live so this was going to be interesting. It was a different experience being a “con-goer” rather than a “volunteer.” As a volunteer, I would need to keep “moving around to make sure things get done” so just “moving around” was nice. There were lots of different things I noticed while I was there, even if I was only there for five hours total .

I guess I’ve been spoiled as a volunteer because I had to “wait in line” to pay for admission to attend the convention activities and rooms; usually I just walk through everything because I get my pass the day before the convention starts. I can understand maybe 1 hour of waiting but I waited 2 hours (thats a lot of wasted time ) but it isn’t bad compared to the 5 hours it used to take, based on what I heard. Their system for registering is confusing. Initially, I started in the big line, then after having my information being processed in their computer for a ID, they sent me to another line in the same room to get into the next line to pay for admission, then they sent me to another line to pick up my program guide and complimentary plastic bag to put stuff in. Seriously, line after line…it might have been easier for them but if they had it all in one big room it should be easier to things on the spot. O well, enough of my complaining ;p, on to the pictures.

First off are some cosplay pictures I took. There were some really nice ones and one’s that weren’t so nice, but you get that at any convention lol. I took pictures of the ones I really liked.

Starting off with a closer look at the girls above, I really liked their costumes which is based off the game Final Fantasy 10. The Tidus girl in the red and black outfit is my favorite ^^.

Another favorite of my was Travis Touchdown from the Wii game “No More Heros” and it was cool that I didn’t see just one but two xD. Their katana’s were awesome, though I was hoping for the heavy blade version lol, I love heavy blades ;p.

Who could go wrong with old school, with Shredder from Ninja Turtles no less ;p.

I believe the next guy is Wolfwood from Trigun.

Yuko from Tengann Gurren Lagann, scantily clad version xD.

Ulquiorra and Grimmjow from Bleach, the two were part of my top favorites when I was there. The detail in Grimmjow’s “jaw” really won me over.

I believe the next picture is the penguin from Disgaea.

Luigi, most likely based off of the game “Luigi’s Haunted Mansion.”

Ozar from Avatar.

A couple of Desmond’s from the game “Assassin’s Creed.”

A few geisha girls.

No convention would be a convention without Naruto charactes, the picture below features a few ANBU and Tobi. The next one has Kakashi and some other character.

Next up are a few pics of the convention itself, first up is the dealers room which had many figure dealers to my delight xD.

Artist Alley, they had really talented artist in the room. The Drunken Panda group and a original character artist are my favorite.

My next post will be on the loot that I bought while I was there, so look forward to seeing it ^^.

Hey everyone, it’s nice to be back and rested ^^. This year’s Kawaii Kon wiped me out, due to the amount of running around the kon that I did to make sure that it ran smoothly. I believe I woke up at least by 8 in the morning then worked for the kon from 10 am-12 pm . Too busy even to take pictures of the cosplayers that attended the kon, so I’m going to take pics from other people and post them here, I will give them credit of course ^^.

Warning: Picture intensive post

Try to name all the cosplayers ^^, if you do I’ll give you a cookie XD.

The following pictures are from Vraxx’s photo set, including the first picture above. Check out the link to see more great photos ^^.

The next set comes from Phantomnishoba.

Here is a video of the cosplay showcase broken up into 3 parts.

This has got to be one of my favorite parts of the kon, getting to see a Lucky Star Dance thats done really well ^^. I hope you enjoy it as well XD. Note: A higher quality of the video can be found on youtube so click on the vid and you can select a higher quality there ^^.

If I find more pics that I like, I’ll upload them later today or tomorrow. Expect more pictures of kawaii kon other than cosplay later ^^.

Once again, Danny Choo has supplied the world with another sugoi Storm Trooper dance. This time he has his Rolly with him so everyone can dance to the sound of music lol. Danny isn’t alone this time, as he is with dance master Nikk who busts out dance moves all over Shibuya with Danny. Enjoy the show ^^.
