Cosplay, the essence of every anime convention~~
I recently went to an anime convention last Saturday and this would probably be my WORST convention yet (well, just the sad part….continue to read….~).
It all started when I arrived to this convention about 3:00pm in the afternoon. I know I was really late but I actually expected the line (which is evident in every anime convention worldwide~) to be really short or even gone but I was soooooo wrong to see that there was a really long (and I mean long~) line filled with otaku’s, cosplayers, and enthusiasts but the worst part was that the line was barely moving! I was always early or I didn’t have to encounter a line in all the conventions I’ve been to so I just decided to patiently wait hoping that I would get inside in about an hour but once again, I was wrong. I’ve been waiting from 3:00pm to 5:00pm!!! What’s worst is that sometime about 5:00pm, some guards and admins responsible for the convention screamed that tickets were sold and that nobody was able to enter (well except the ones with tickets already~).
Well of course many was disappointed and furious when they heard the news but what can you do? There were really a lot of attendees given the big event location. I wasn’t that mad though since I was able to meet some friends who also unfortunately were unable to enter also.
I actually don’t blame the organizers and the administration for the really bad crowd control because I heard from some friends (who were able to enter~) that the convention (inside~) was a success. They even said that the atmosphere inside was like a school festival in Japan. I still do get jealous that I wasn’t able to enter but oh well….
Did you guys have any FAIL or WIN moments in an anime convention?
