A-Kon 22: Day 2

We made it through our second day of A-Kon, and although we're really tired, we're going to write you a blog post.  (Except not really, we fell asleep, so I'm writing this a couple days later.  Oh well.) 

Day 2 was pretty similar to the first day, except we got to meet up with our other friends!  Most of them didn't dress up this year, but Faruk dressed up as a wonderful Masa-san, and Ran dressed up as Protagonist/Shujinko, a cool-looking character from Persona 4.  (His mom made his amazing costume, just like last year :P)  Sadly we never got a group picture of everyone, but it was nice to have everyone together again for a bit ^w^

Tiffy and I wore our Advent Children costumes again, and Jordan and Daniel wore their Kenshin costumes again also.  Shannon went dressed as a character from Girl Genius, a webcomic turned novel(?), whose creators were at the convention.  Everyone looked really wonderful!  We did manage to get one of the photographer friends in our group to do a photoshoot for the five of us, so hopefully we can post some of those pictures up when he sends it to us.

~~~~~~ Update! ~~~~~~

Here are some pictures of Tiffy, me, and our friend Ran ^ ^  We'll probably update this entry more as we organize our photos.

Tiffy, as an amazing Tifa ^w^

Me as Aerith.  I only look this good because of our wonderful photographer Huan, who also edited this photo to make me look much better than I actually did :D

Lovely picture of Ran as Protagonist/Shujinko of Persona 4, also taken by Huan :)

Otherwise, we checked out the Dealer's Room, which was pretty similar to last year, bought a few things, and got to watch the Atelier-Pierrot/Chantilly fashion show in the afternoon, and then the Cosplay Contest in the evening.  We got pretty good seats for both this time, so we had a nice view.  The fashion show had some really pretty lolita dresses that I'd love to wear (although nothing very spectacular, they were just nice "regular" lolita outfits).  The Cosplay Contest had a lot of walk-ons, some pretty good and some that we didn't know much about, and a couple good skits.  I still think the FMA one from last year was the best, but there was a really funny Axis Powers: Hetalia skit this year.

All in all, a pretty good but tiring day.  Good thing we only dress up for two days of the con :P

Next year, we have plans to go to Anime Expo in L.A. instead, since we've already been to A-Kon twice, and it seems to be pretty similar from year to year.  We're thinking of doing a group cosplay from Tales of Symphonia.  The costumes in there are nice and noticeable, and not many people cosplay that anymore since the game is older.  I'm really excited for that :D  We're going to do that as our "pictures day" -- the day we can't walk or look around at all because people keep taking pictures of us (like what happened with BlazBlue).  For our "relaxing day" -- when we're wearing mainstream costumes so we can dress up but still look around -- Tiffy and I are planning to do FFXIII (Lightning and Serah) or Kuroshitsuji (Ciel and Grell, if we can get a couple more people to join us).  Please look forward to our posts about next year :3

It was a lot of fun to see everyone again, dressed up or no, and hopefully we can all make it to next year's con and do a group cosplay♥
