New York Animu Festival(lots of stuff)

[VanHalen]

So that was where I was this Saturday. Definitley pretty awesome to see. I was excited about going this year since New York hasn't hosted any type of anime convention since 2003. I forced my dad to take me to it that year since I was too young to go by myself. The others were canceled due to the Republican Convention of 2004 and because it cost too much to host an event in New York.


There was a Guilty Gear tournament that was really great. Some nice come from behind victories. Wish it dawned on me to record them ;(. I remember Diz saying there are cute girls there. That actually is true. Though alot of them have cat ears on. If they don't have cat ears, then they are dressed in Goth Lolita fashion. Or you get those that have both. My dad was mad at me for going........without him http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif. I think he enjoys looking at cosplayers himself he doesn't like annie may.

Anywho here are some pictures. These are some cosplayers I asked to take pictures of.

Link turns his back on Ichigo. The bastard.

I don't like Naruto but I like good cosplay. Kakashi can beat your ass in a fight and in Guilty Gear too. He placed 3rd while playing with one eye.

Yeah I didn't take a picture of the other girls. None of them were in cosplay. Just in cat girl ears.

[Sord]

lolnumens

voltron is win

but a GG torunament?! DAMN YOU NEW YORK, DAMN YOUUUUUUUUU ;(

[DizzyDi]

Never been to an animu convention myself.
I've been contemplating going to one for a little bit, but the Animu convention in Atlanta has already past if I'm not mistaken.
I'd only go for the hot chicks, and I sure as hell wouldn't cosplay.

[Scrub]

I like the guys who got all dressed up, wigs, dyed hair, whatever, and still didn't shave their neckbeards. Awesome.

[VanHalen]

Yes and it was a great Guilty Gear tournament at that. Though as for cosplaying I maybe tempted to do it, if someone would go with me to these things. They don't even have to dress up either.

[NPCMook]

Unfortunately I don't live in New York >.> but I do go to cons every now and then when they choose NOT to suck. Mostly I go there for the hot girls, unfortunately to many weeaboo J-rocker/pop/emo kids show up also... you know cause J-rock is awesome >.>

ANYWAYS, and ironically most of the time they show unlicensed anime in the anime rooms http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Not really interested in them since most people only do "Mainstream" animes, you know stuff that 4kids blantanly slaughters into high pitched squeally kid shows... So pretty much you will see more Narutards than you can shake a stick at, all running around screaming "Believe it"

Then there are the stoners who go to these things for no reason at all except to get high with new people... which again annoys you when having to ride the elevator for 30 minutes with these bastards you end up with a damn contact buzz

Then come the fanboys/girls... These people are remotely O.K. if you have a Gas mask on hand, these people wreak worse than french people on a summer day, toss them a bar or soap and move along

... Wait why do I go to these again?

[VanHalen]

Yes, there were alot of Adult Swim characters there ;(.

I would've loved to see some woman or man cosplay as Sora Nagino from Kaliedo Star. If you know the show I'm talking about so what I like it? Its manly :<.

[foamcup]

Ha ha, 'obligatory Cloud pic' ran through my mind even before I saw the caption saying the same thing.

Hey Diz, come to Baltimore for Otakon! We can hang out maybe. XD

[NPCMook]

Otakon THE largest Convention in the US... could always go to meet the Little Gamers (http://www.little-gamers.com) and others web comic creators

Also the easy and cheap Cosplay is going as a Sim, just a coat hanger, some wire, and colored Cardboard/paper and done

only conventions I've been to are small local ones with around 50 people. Cosplay tourny though for those who want to enter. One guy came as black mage from 8-bit theatre, guy got my vote. He wound up tying with this dorky looking guy with a way to accurate sesshomaru. Seriously, the costume looks great, then you look at the guys face. Coke bottle glasses and red freckles, classic stereotype grade-A nerd. Only thing he was missing was the tape. Anyways, they recasted the vote with just black mage and sesshomaru and sesshomaru won, damnit.

[DizzyDi]

Blame it on the inuyasha fangirls and the boys that like it just to get close to the girls.

[EJ]

I would have gone there myself but damn me not having the money to pay to get it D;

[Moo2u]

I like Black Falcon.

[pikachief]

Oh believe me they are there... they just aren't sane... in the least bit...

[Sord]

I'm going with Scrub on this one, I just go for the japanese import games. Pop'n Music is fun, as is Beatmania. But damn is the Pop'n Music board huge. Expensive as all hell to, no way I'm buying it for myself ;(

[DizzyDi]

Know there are sexy chicks at conventions. But like Mook said, they're fhkn crazy.
But aren't all women? NYUKNYUKNYUK.

There actually was two women like this. Though one had a belly shirt on, and the other was in a rabbit costume.

Thick chicks do look nice as long as they don't try to wear revealing clothes.
