ANIMANIA 2006 DAY 02

So onto day 2 of Animania.

The pre-reg line was processed much quicker. I was in the hall by 9:55am.

Met up with Jess, Andy and Sam who were cosplaying Star Ocean EX this year. Woohoo! (They're the ones in the middle)

I started on my stalkage for photos. Unfortunately unlike Saturday there weren't many wandering about the vendor's hall. Pity that. Although it was by far much easier to get to the vendors this time. I was contemplating the Mezzo DSA collection when I remembered that I was going to pick up my order from Heise.

Picked it up then got lost strolling through Artists Alley again.

Damn ebbil artists!!!! *shakes fist* I bought more prints, bookmarks and keyrings.

Went to lunch. Was third in line for takoyaki. Yum! It tasted so much better than the ones at the Hinata. Note to self: drag arccie soon. Also tried taiyaki, chocolate of course, although the seaweed bean was quite nice.

Went back in and caught the Madman panel. Woot! Trinity Blood manga to be released Febrary-ish 2007. Finally!
Then staked out my spot for the cosplay as I watched Duel Artist. God, I love this part. Gorgeous, slick art. The chicken one was awfully good.

Cosplay was minimal compared to the Saturday one. Hardly any skits but lots of really well-made costumes.



I must remember to bring myself a pair of earplugs next year. As appreciative as I am of fans screaming support, heck I do it too, my ears aren't. There were particularly loud people behind me and it took all of my willpower not to hunker down and wince. Therefore as of next year I'm bringing earplugs if I sit near the front, which I most likely will.



Miyu's Air Gear group looked hella awesome. I was tempted to yell "KOGARASUMARU!!!" but chickened out last minute.
Speaking of which, I forgot to find them again for a group photo.


Hard Gay made an appearance.


Bonta-kun was lots of fun.


And because, I simply could not resist, emo!Shinji. This guy was great. He played the the opening of Death & Rebirth on his cello.

The dancekool performance was really great. Really effective and simply wonderful to watch. It was such a pity that wasn't scheduled for Saturday when there was a not only full but jampacked house.
Sunday overall, was much more laidback as compared to Saturday. There were a less people but it was such an easygoing day.


NOTE: They're totally amateurish but if anyone wants any photos in a higher res, let me know.

OMFG HARD GAY.

A shame he didn't wear the tight short shorts :(

I know.

He was very very amusing. Apparently it was a choice between leather pants and the stripey shorts that was in his wardrobe.

*makes grabby motion*
AirGear!
...though from those piccies there doesn't appear to be an Ikki, Kazu or Sano...which is a damn shame if that was the case (but also makes me less miserable that I missed it).

*coughs*

Hard gay?
