So, I got back from AX yesterday and was exhausted!!

My feet hurt, my legs, my brain, my...my everything!


It was so exciting to be walking around as Mars and having people stop me in mid step and getting all fangirl/boy over my costume. It was a very nice feeling to know that my hard work paid off in the end. I am now encouraged to keep doing costumes! What a successful Anime Expo!

We did a few panels including the Evangelion(I was forced into it, I find the show boring. Don't kill me...kill Shinji, he's the emo one), Robot Chicken...yes...Seth Green was there and boy does he talk a lot!, and we came in the tail end of. . . something. I don't remember now! Oh, embarrassing.
We got to see the Gurren Lagan Movie, which was pretty much a condensed version of the series. Still good either way. And the rest of the time was in Dealer's Hall, Artist Alley, Walking around, and in our hotel!

I think the most popular cosplays were Yoko, Simon, and Kamina From TTGL, All Bleach characters for the most part, Vocaloid girls, Haruhi(from the meloncholy of haruhi suzumiya), and transformers. There were other ones in there but just not as popular. I had a fangirl moment when I saw Adel, Azura, and Drosselmeyer go up the escalator. I flipped out. Imagine a girl dressed as sailor mars going, "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG" I also flipped out when I saw Dr. Horrible. He was so cute.

Let's see, the best things about Anime Expo...hm...well, there was the Tentacle Monster joke throughout Whose Line Is It Anime?, There was "Wholly F***ing Ass Crackers" in the Robot Chicken panel...we all yelled it...it was great, AX Idol the winners were very talented: the winner for Voice Acting won with voicing Kenshin and the Singer winner sung the song from TTGL: there were actually 2 who sung it...kind of sucky imo, the Masquerade had a GREAT skit about the OTP(only true pairing) or something like that...it was SOOO Funny! and lastly...getting stopped more than once to have pictures taken of me... AND for people to tell me I made a great Mars was just...the greatest feeling in the world!

So, if you went to AX please, share your stories with me! It was such an exciting time and we just can't wait for next year!

Next year's lineups for costumes include:

Officer Jenny (I have a friend who wants to do Nurse Joy)
Miria (My boyfriend doing Isaac its from Baccano! one of the best new animes)
Possibly a "Ball Gown" Sailor Mars...Idea is still in the works
And one more that I'm not going to disclose yet :3

So, we'll see if my motivation keeps up... I hope so! I just want to be able to impress people and impress myself!

Huzzah!
