My second one now.
So this weekend there was a convention of sorts being hosted near me again. I didn't plan on going, but a few friends asked me to, so I gave in. It was a blast. Wish I could say everything about it, but we must all make sacrifices for the purpose of tl;dr.Nothing reeeeally out of the ordinary happened. But it was fun regardless. It seemed like the themes this year were:- Soul Eater- Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya- Pokemon (fuck)- Naruto (doublefuck)- Ouran Host ClubMost of the costumes were from these groups, though I did see some really great ones such as:- League of Legends (Mordekaiser, Nocturne, Janna, and Hillbilly Gragas)- Touhou (Flandre, Remilia, Patchouli)And on the note of Touhou, there was a girl geeking out about how this guy modded Touhou songs onto some PC port of DDR (probably another title I'm not aware of). I never thought I'd get sick of hearing U.N.Owen Was Her?, but she played that, along with a few other songs, very excessively. So yeah, I found someone who likes Touhou more than I do (is it possible?).Also started a few new shows including:- Kanon (Puri told me to)- K-On (Puri and Rob (kind of) told me to)- Yuru Yuri (Rob and Puri told me to)All are quite lulzy, the last being more so at the moment, the second being the typical KyoAni female-focused show, and the first having that Key style of sudden sadness after a lot of calmness.And watched the film that goes with the Haruhi series. I don't know what to say. Thoroughly impressive.School's keeping me tied down, so the status of my competition entry is iffy right now. I've got a lot of work to do, and I just finished a rather large homework assignment, so maybe I'll get a chance to sit with it a while. No screens or previews or anything, mostly so I can focus, but I will say this:Genre: Stealth TDSScary-Four Category: Halloween (light horror elements)Great focus on the characters and some dynamic interaction. Should be fun if I can finish it.
Why's Soul Eater suddenly popular? Is it because they recently announced they're doing another season? I mean, it had several of its own panels, for god's sake, and one of the English voice actors made an appearance, too.
That's pretty much all there is at the cons down where i live. Naruto, Pokemon, Soul Eater, the occasional Kuroshitsuji or Bleach. It's horrible. Especially because I hate Naruto, Pokemon is overdone, and I used to like Soul Eater until everyone made such a big deal about it.
That's why for the last con, I said fuck it and went as American McGee's Alice. Some nerd cosplaying as AlicePocky is cool though.
