Anime Expo 2011 - LS Edition
*Looks left* *Looks right* Anymore late Anime Expo posts? Yes? No? Well either way, I'm really late because I've been waiting til most of the rush of posting are gone. Plus I've been friggin' lazy, lol.
Anyhoo... I left Vancouver on Thursday via car to Bellingham airport and then to Seattle and then to L.A. Very convoluted, I know, but it was cheaper this way. A friend of mine from Vancouver, soulfringe, Tsubasa and I stayed in JW Marriott for the duration of the convention. Much closer to the convention!
It's a bit too much to write down everything here again, so unfortunately I'll have to redirect you to my blog for the full story ^^;
All the AX '11 Cosplay photos I took.
AX '11 Events I attended and other stories.
The many dolls at AX '11.
And my ventures outside of AX '11 in L.A.
Here's my imouto, Helen, hanging out with Danny's new musume, Yuki Mirai ^^
Kagura from Gintama. She found her photo on my blog and said it was the first photo of the con for her. I was her first! AHEM... Well I took this for a friend of mine, lol.
Mami surrounded by Morning Rescue. The first of the many Mami around AX.
Black and White Rock Shooter. This was in front of the JList booth so Mr. Peter Payne also took a similar photo ^^
I love her apple patterned bag!
Squall is sekushi!
This was a major surprise! I never expected to see Unagi from Popotan hanging out at AX!
Damn dark room... I had to use flash for Maridah's Mirai ^^; And you can see Dancing Queen as Rei wearing a Nyancat shirt in the background :D
This was right after Danny's panel. Lovely pair.
Seducticons...
Hare+Guu! I see some money in the badge :3
Random Bleach group... Mostly took it for Nell ^^;;;
So glad to find Maridah's Saber... Didn't find her Saber Lion though =( Great new armor there! I still need to learn how to make the Excalibur.
Misaka Mikoto! Biri biri!
Bunnygirl Buruma spotted me when I was hijacking someone's photoshoot ^^;
This MEIKO is laughing because she saw my Shiteyanyo shirt ^o^
Madoka and a fellow pink-haired mahou shoujo, Stardust Witch Meruru from Ore no Imouto.
Haqua and Elsie wants your lost soul!
Cheergirl Bayonetta and Rodin... Rodan?
Wanted to take a photo of her in a One Piece group but lost my chance ^^; This is a bonus photo that I didn't post on my blog :)
TX1037, the Black Hole Stormtrooper! Met Lester, Lene, Venus and another Lester many times during Anime Expo ^^
Some doofus taking a photo with Danny, lol.
Hung out quite a bit at the Obitsu booth in the Exhibit Hall.
This is Ms. Obitsu! She didn't know much English, but we communicated well when I showed her my Helen. She laughed quite a bit when I explained how I got the name Helen... Helen = Ecchi + Ellen ^^
This is Cosplayshot's Beato. Well prepared with a camera just like her papa.
Dancing Queen's blonde Yoko with a dakimakura and Mirai.
And another Yoko! This one is SouthernBelle's wearing a top made by Chun delivered by yours truly ^^
BerserkFuryZero's Kiriha. So cute!
A bunch of naked girls in our hotel room... XD
Dinner on the first night. Oyakodon with tanuki udon
Mugi gets a taste of In-N-Out. Yummy!
The last lunch in L.A. Orange chicken at the Cheesecake Factory. Delicious and very filling even though it's only a lunch portion ^^;
And then we left L.A. But not before seeing a part of Beverly Hills ^^ Special thanks to Tsubasa for helping us Vancouverites out \(^o^)/
Kagura chan! xD
T'was nice meeting you back at AX lightningsabre and I had a nice good chat with you and soulfringe =D
Was nice to meet you and actually talk this time haha. You were kinda quiet last year XD
OMFG. AWESOME.
epic
Haha, she was actually better prepared than me, I didn't bring a big camera to the meet since I was carrying her instead!
AHAHAHA! How deliciously ironic XD
Good meeting you Lightningsabre! There will be an upcoming Otaku no Podcast chibicast with my interview with Maki-san, the daughter of Obitsu Saburo and heir-apparent to the Obitsu Chocolate Factory. Perhaps you might be persuaded to add an Obitsu daughter...or even a son...to your family? ^^
Wait, Helen is Azone/Obitsu, isn't she...(headdesk)
And yeah, you introduced her specifically to Z and Mitzi.
Duh.
Oh sweeto! That would be awesome to listen to :D And to answer your question below... Yes, she's Azone/Obitsu ^_^
many pretty girls !!!!
Yes, both vinyl and in the flesh ^o^
Nice photos. It was great to meet you at AX.
Thanks! Yeah, it was nice to meet you again. Thanks for the ride back to the hotel XD
