Yea, a con can be scary. So many people dressed up like that can make someone freak out.

Re: I'm going to an Anime and Video Game Convention

I like going to cons.Last year at an anime convention my buddies cosplayed the cast of SoulTaker(Kyousuke Date,Runa Tokisaka,Komugi Nakahara,Shiro Mabu,and Richard Vincent).My girlfriend and I went as Kay and Mizuho from Please Teacher.Cosplaying at conventions are alot of fun plus all those anime DVDs for half price.A gaming convention is no different just means you can cosplay as vg characters.

Are you refering to cons in general, or a specific one?

I believe it is the one in Cleveland, Ohio, GB. If I had my drivers license, a job, and some time I'd be able to go. But I have none of that.

Re: I'm going to an Anime and Video Game Convention

Heh, good luck, and have a bloody good time.

I remember my first con, back last year in May... (Supanova Sydney). Had a blast, with the artists and merchandise.

Re: I'm going to an Anime and Video Game Convention

I've never been to a con before. I wanted to go to AnimeExpo 2005. I still have to make my Tetra. I doubt that I can go though. I've never cosplayed before. I live in Georgia, I could go to Dragoncon next year.

Re: I'm going to an Anime and Video Game Convention

I have. I went as Ness that day even though it was kinda funny to see a Black guy as Ness. It was pretty funny though.My friend was Chinese and he went as Jeff.

Another time I went as Link my Chinese friend was Ganondorf,My Twin friends

I hope whoever is dressing as Zelda is a girl.

I ****ing hate crossing dressers! As if dressing up in costumes of anime/game characters is bad enough... they gotta crossdress on top of that...

You could go to Anime Weekend Atlanta XI. It's in September I believe. I went last year and it was my first con. I'm going again this year.

Re: I'm going to an Anime and Video Game Convention

Yeah, I went to the Anime Expo 2005 today, it was pretty fun. They had some games related to anime for the PS2 there. But the coolest thing aside from all the costumes is that you can get every thing at like half price, also FREEE STUFF! I didn't dress up this year but I might next year, and to my suprise I only saw one guy dressed up as link. But there were plenty of awsome looking costumes, my favorite was one of Cloud from FF7 advent children, he even made a huge sword for it.
