So I went to Animecon with friends of mine today, and am intending to do so tomorrow too. I was mainly out there taking photos of some well made costumes.

There was few fun shows & etc too, but not that many. Anyway, spotting characters and taking pics was quite fun.

Here's what I got from Saturday:

Yeeeeesss



Seriously though... There was some really well made costumes with dozens of hours spent on them.
things i have learned: the finland girls are nice looking BUT SLIGHTLY INSANE

at least boba fett made an appearance at an anime convention ??
yeah that was pretty cool i was not expecting boba fett
pokemon girl is totally the hottest
the top lady dressed as generic japanese lady is actually quite nice
actually while the pokemon girl is cute this girl is probably the best looker in the bunch. everyone else is all "i'm so anime watch me brood"
because this is important info. you guys need to be informed. this is important info.


out of curiosity, how much effort go into costumes like these? say, if I wanted to make one, how much time and money?

Well, it depends Blitzen. Lots of people buy some clothes to their costume from " flea markets", meaning used clothes and old ones and seek pieces that match the costume. And then it also depends on costume, how complicated it is and if you can order it somewhere.

I personally haven't done costumes, or so...
i can imagine boba fett to be something quite difficult to put together
I dunno whether to admire or wanna punch some of these people.

It's not actually ONLY Animecon. It's Finncon/Animecon Finncon is a regular SF convention where all the good stuff happens and Animecon is the newer "for kids" thing that brings in all the money so that Finncon can have good programming. (Since the anime kids are so easy to please, all you need is a vendor's area, a cosplay competition and some signs saying "hug me". Rei- What's with the Hug Me signs anyway I don't get it and neither did anyone else asked...)

Early estimates say there were 15 000 people on Finncon/Animecon this year. That's a new record for the event.
