Anime Con Discussions

oceanizer

Here are the list of anime convention discussions done in APForums.net. Please reuse same thread for every year. If you make a new thread for the anime convention that's not listed here, please post in this thread so it will be added onto the first post. If I missed any anime convention discussion thread, please reply here, too. I only went back 20 pages…

Anime Conventions you plan on going to

AWB

Anime Boston thread
Acen 06 thread (perhaps you could merge this with the 07 thread)

There was a fanime thread, but there were no responses to it.

Can you please link me to Fanime? I'm going this year, so is ooshi.

mr_bushido, thanks, but let's leave cosplay thread separately. If you have general Oni-Con talk thread somewhere, please link me ^^

AWB

Sure, ocean.

Thanks. I was hoping someone else made that thread, but oh well, I guess it's only ooshi and I that will be going ~.~

KamenRiderNeko

Wasn't there an A-kon discussion thread? Aside from my cosplay one I mean.

Maybe I should start a new one for this year's?

Found the one for last year's…

Is there going to be a con in Houston, Texas in July? o.o
I recall a few people telling me about it. I've just been wondering about it.

Not in July… but there is Atsuicon, on the first weekend of August.

JessVixen

Ah~ Thank you lots. ^~
I'm hoping I'll be able to go. I saw you at A-kon. I knew you looked familiar. Warp told me you were going to this one, I can mostly definitally go up to you and glomp you. :3 I love Zoro. You were acutally very handsome. @_@
Did you know the Usopp? << He was quite the hottie.

mr_bushido

The Usopp was my friend Drew… he'd probably get all shy & blushy if he read this. lol

and yes, I'm going to Atsuicon

JessVixen

EEEEEEE~ I must know hiiim! He was sweet and.. and.. and.. @__@ hot.
Tell him.. he's.. a hot Usopp. <_<;;

Well, you're not hard to spot. I'm going as Hinata and I'll be with a Naruto (obviously). So, possibly if I go, maybe I'll see you. ^__^

KamenRiderNeko

I checked out the Atsuicon site, it looks like it could be fun…. Maybe I could try going to that for a day or two. And hopefully see JessVixen this time!!

JessVixen

Yaaay~
I am officially going. =D
I'm excited. x3 Now I can make my Hinata cosplay. <.<

Mister_Anbu

I went to my first convention today. It was very small I suppose, but it was an interesting experience none the less.

I live very close to it. ^^

I just opened a thread for Anime USA, if you'd add that to the first post, i'd appreciate it.

Ah, well I only looked at the first post. bops oceanizer on the head You need to put the link in the first post.

oceanizer

I consider cosplay thread and discussion thread separate things. So if you want one, please make one.

JessVixen

I went to AtsuiCon and saw no Mr.Bushido-kun~ >w<
It was acutally a really small con. oo; I went crazy going to circles everywhere. @__@ It was nice, none-the-less. I got great pictures and all that. :D

Monkey D. Hoffy

Aww…

Did you at least see an Asian Enies Lobby Luffy waltzing around in stupidity looking for Bushido? XD

That would be me if you had seen him.

He was THE errand boy, driving the con head of Ikkicon around to get con business done for all of Friday if I remember correctly. D:

JessVixen

I dunno. I think I might have. Squeals Asian Luffy. <33
Did you happen to see a Hinata anywhere? 'Tis me~ >w<
Do you have any pictures of your cosplay? Jessi wants to see

Actually, I do remember seeing a Hinata. After all, I am a Hinata/Ino/Temari fanboy in that order. >:3

Haha, the pic of me has been posted in the Post your pics thread, but because you're so nice, I'll post it here.

helendragon

Is it (I noticed their isn't one) alright if I make an anime Iowa thread?

AWB

Sure, but you put it in the wrong section.

helendragon

oh…sorry, where should it be? Isn't this were all the other con discussions are?

JessVixen

Hoffy- EEEE~ Squeals >w< I did, I did~ Clings to your head I was going to hug you, but you looked too busy finding something. oo;

Monkey D. Hoffy

@JessVixen:

Haha, I has a girl clinged onto my head. X3

You should've hugged me! <333

I was just walking around aimlessly, since I had nobody to hang out with for such a long time. That, and every single time that I'm dressed as Luffy, about an hour or two into wearing the costume, I get really hungry, so I was asking people where I could get good food.

Good thing they had a menu specified for the con. <3

Funny though, I got in free and everything. I didn't pay a single dollar to have all the fun I did have at that con. I fell asleep on one of the floors because I was hungry.

AWB

Hoffy, your avatar is surprisingly more disturbing than your last.

oh…sorry, where should it be? Isn't this were all the other con discussions are?

Yes but you posted yours in the General One Piece section. I'm sure you meant to post it in the General discussion section.

Ah well, we'll both get more chances. o_O
If you were that desperate to hang out with someone, you should've poked me. x3
You're cosplay overcomes you and acutally makes you transform into Luffy. Oh yes, yes. =o

Really? o_O How was that possible to get in free? <.<… >.>

Yeah, I should've. >:3

Haha, it was easy to get in free. That bottom floor was reserved pretty much for Atsuicon, from the look of it.

The lobby floor had nearly nothing to do with the con at all, and that's where I usually hung out at. And technically, everything is free; the badge pays for the dealer's room, events, gaming, panels, etc. that require a badge to present to enter.

The artist alley was where I ninja'd occassionally, since the Ikkicon booth and some of my friends were also down there, selling hats and what not.

hey im back.. Its Sanji from A-kon (the only one with a cig and teh one who's hair didnt dye right T-T) i just got my comp fixed and want to get back on hte forums and see who's gonna be at what con ^^ im going to akon again next year. i'll either be Ovan (if i dont do it a an earlier con) or I'll be Yusuke yurameshi keep an eye out for me ^^ I hope to see everyone i met last time there again as well.

It's sad but the only convention I go to is Anime Boston, it's the closest to where I live

I just made a thread for Pokettocon

And the reactor was this past weekend.

omnichild

Sorry for the double post…but XD Ocean, the website for The Reactor is

www.the-reactor.org. not www.thereactor.org. The latter takes you to something completely different.

JessVixen

Ooooh!
Jessi has popped in to see who might be going to A-Kon! Any takers? Anyone going?
Possibly Miss Pirateneko? Hoffy? <33
Well, I am. Any new cosplays anyone is going to cosplay?
I, myself, is going to cosplay L one day and Alphonse the next. :3 My two loves~

Monkey D. Hoffy

Of course I'm going to A-Kon. <3

I'm bringing my Anisawa Meito (Lucky Star/Anime Tenchou) cosplay from Anime Matsuri 2008. Kyra is making me a TB Luffy vest so that I can be the Luffy in their Thriller Bark group.

My original Keroro/GARroro cosplay (which is a parody on overmanly characters in general, Simon from Gurren Lagann and Anisawa Meito specifically; who better to parody that than Keroro, right?) will make an encore at A-Kon, as he's too cool for school and should be seen by all. If I have enough money, I'll try to make a green or yellow pair of goggles of the infamous "Starlock" shades or something.

Haha, I'm gonna step it up a notch and go to AX as well. Man is my wallet gonna take the biggest beating since dating my ex-girlfriend. D:

Oh well, AX is worth every damn penny; besides, quite a few AP members live out in the general California area anyways.

YES YES! Neko is going to A-kon for sure! Already pre-reged XD I am cosplaying Galley La and CP9 Kaku (with my girlfriend Youshi as Lucci to match <3) and Thriller Bark Usopp, part of a huge TB group that is being organized by Kyra-swan and then I will randomly be Zoro <3

Youshi Semenjyu

Youshi present and accounted for!

I'm SO there!

Galley-La Lucci, CP9 Lucci, and a side of Luffy to go with that there Zoro above me.

JessVixen

Hoffy- Yay! You wonderful little asian, I shall see you there! ^_^
Of course AX is worth it! I'd go if I got the chance. .__.

Neko- FWEEEEE~ I'll see if I remember what you look like. .__.'' -Short term memory loss- I'll have to go around wearing a sign on my head saying "JESSVIXEN" in bold, big letters. x3;;
…
I'm going to stalk Mr.Whats-his-face! Zoro-san. <3
I kind of did last time at A-Kon. Kehehehe~ He was an adorable Zoro, I will say~

a girl I work with (gamestop) has been talking about it. I've honestly never gave any thought whether to go or not

Sakura-Con, WA [Early April]: http://apforums.net/showthread.php?t=12581

Guh, lame … I don't think anyone but me's gone to that convention, and it's coming up soon again.

My wallet's all a whine about it, but I still want to go again - though the guest list is nothing flashy this year. There is that Dismuke kid, but I'm not a big fan or nothing, so I'm not as excited about the guests as I was last year.
