Nikku's anime con day!!

Grah!! I just got back! It was awesome! It was incredible! It was... was... good!!

There were a few stalls there that sold drawing stuffs and pads and all that. There were also loads of anime figurines! Some were really cheap and others were "WTF Expensive"! I bought an Asuka (from Evangelion) figure and a magical girl one! £22 for the both of them!

There were loudspeakers all around and they constantly played various anime songs! Azumanga, Haruhi Suzumiya and Bleach's openings have never sounded so good!

Then I made my way to the back where they were playing by chance - Dragonball Raging Blast and Tekken 6! The guy called Lee who was in charge of the gaming stuffs was really friendly and funny; especially when I played him on both games! I beat everyone who challenged me on Raging Blast, including Lee and as a prize I got a £5 gift voucher with "Nikku, the DBZ Champ!" on the back! Then I played Tekken 6 and beat most of my opponents!

There was also cosplay! Haruhi Suzumiya was running one of the stalls! There was also a dark skinned L from Death Note walking around, I beat him at Tekken 6 and joked about him writing my name in the Death Note as revenge, yeah, he even carried a Death Note book around with him! The other costumes were fantastic and funny, one guy had just a Gundam mask/head on! Others were cute... *Blushes and thinks of many of the girls that went there*

I didn't win the art contest, but I don't care! The prizes were nothing I needed or wanted. The other artwork was great, the 13+ year olds could REALLY make an impressive image! I took loads of pictures of the con on my phone as I forgot the camera!! Gaaah!!

I stayed until the end. I'm definitely going again next year, but I'm cosplaying! I'm gonna be much better prepared next year; this year I found out about the con a week before it started and I had no money or anything!

All in all, this has been one of the best Saturdays... no, DAYS of my life!

I can't wait till next year...

Feel free to ask me questions!

Take a video camera next year and record something funny, then put it on youtube so we can watch.

haha, sounds cool

Haha! Will do! I have a video camera, so I'll be recording some stuff!

Also, more details about my day!!

- Dragonball Raging Blast and Tekken 6 both looked amazing on the MASSIVE HD television that we played the games on! And I mean it was freaking HUUUUUGE.
- Fangirls screamed when cosplayers announced which characters they were! L's fangirls were the worst offenders! Owie, my ears...
- You know that incredible looking Rogue (from X-Men) Kotobukiya statuette? I saw it in person for the first time today! It was tiny!! And it costed £50!
- On an interesting note, there was hardly any manga at the con! There was this one tiny table with a small suitcase that was half filled with a few mangas and that was it.

***BEGIN OSCAR SPEECH***

One thing I loved was the fact that it didn't feel like some University kids had put on an anime/manga day; it felt like a proper convention like the ones you lucky people in America have. The conventions I'm talking about are the one's I've only seen in Youtube videos and pictures. For being able to experience an anime con, I'm eternally grateful...

***END OSCAR SPEECH***

Remember to ask me questions!!

*Is still a little hyper from the fun filled day of awesomness*

the con was cursed, nikku

Today was the final day of this con at Monterrey:

But I could not go because I barely received my payment yesterday after almost 3 months of no pay from the government. Also Monterrey is just as bad as Reynosa with the drug lords and corrupt military.
