Anime Expo 2014!

I'm not actually into any animes or anything, but like I said about BotCon, I love a good con (or expo, even)!! We found out that the exhibit hall of Anime Expo is open to the public after 4pm until close at 6pm, so we decided to go and check it out and add another con to our roster!


It was soo crowded, it was like Comic Con levels of crowdedness, and it was pretty steamy in the hall from the hot day and all the bodies. A lot of the booths had stuff that was unfamiliar to me, of course, but there were still a lot of your usual t-shirt, cute stuff booths. Not as many action figure/toy booths as the other cons we've been to, however. Their Artists Alley had a lot of great stuff, and it looked like a lot of them were doing pretty good business. There was so much to see, but we managed to see most of it in the 2 hours it was open to the public.

And there was so much cosplay! Again, a lot of stuff I didn't recognize, but some really creative stuff. A lot of people were wearing these animal footie onesie things. I don't know what they're called, but they're basically like full-body pajamas or a snuggie or something, with a hood with Pikachu, or a bear or a bunny, or whatever else. I'm sure they're really comfy, but it was so hot! I could totally see myself wearing one of those in cooler weather, though...


Of course I still managed to find a few things to buy while I was there!! There was a booth that I've seen before at other cons selling Disney pins, so I picked up a few more. I got a cute little stuffed seal in a stuffed shark, a really soft panda bag (a steal at only $20!!), and a bunny ear hat from Pawstar! It seems I'm collecting animal hats now, since I already have a cat ear hat that I got from Calgary Expo.

I was really happy to get to experience a brand new (to me) con, and it really got me into the mood for Comic Con!

So kawaii.
