FanExpo has come and gone and it’s time for my coverage of this hectic and crazy event!!! Being a 3 day convention, there was a lot of photos. I came home with a huge amount of photos and took a ton of time to upload them all. Sadly, I wish I took more cosplay photos. I also wished I met some people at FE. Sadly I didn’t have much of a base camp at FE except on Sunday. Still, it was an awesome event!!!

The Convention:

This years FanExpo was held at the North Building of the convention center compared to the usual South Building.

The line up for the pre-ordered passes are here…My friends and I started to line up at around 11am…

The staff was pretty unorganized this year. Took an extra 1 to 2 hours till I got my pass…

Inside waiting in line…

Tron Legacy stand up posters…

During most of FE, Disney was trying to hype up Tron Legacy as much as possible. I say it’s working pretty damn well!!! I can’t wait to see it!!!

This is the line up for going into the dealers room. I didn’t care about it yet so my friends and I checked into our hotel room…

I have to say, I’ve been to a ton of hotels and this one has the biggest room I’ve ever been in. It’s at least twice the size of Double Trees hotel room!!! It also had a nice view too!!!

Looking down at the street…

There’s already a ton of people lining up for tickets (Those who didn’t order it online). It goes around the entire building.

After a while, my friends and I decided to walk down to grab a bit to eat…

At the dealers room!!!

I’ve been to the North Building for FanExpo before they moved it to the South Building…

The Tron booth…

Some Tron controllers for Wii, 360 and PS3!!!

They also had a nice battle of Hoth display at FanExpo…

Went to get Stan Lee’s autograph!!! I know Saturday is when most of the people appear, so I decided to get it when there isn’t as many people around!!!

You’re not imagining things. This is Stan Lee right in front of me!!!

Nice car!!!

Tried Kinects and to me…nothing much…

They had a Halo Reach booth and had the chance to play it!!! Firefight mode only though…

There were plenty of stuff to buy but then I have to remember that I can get it cheap elsewhere…

The downstairs area…where a lot of people rest and hang around…

The dealer room is actually upstairs instead of being at the basement…

Dealers room packing up for the day…

R2D2…

Some filming going on…

Headed back to the hotel room for some good R and R…

Early in the morning…

Apparently a lot of people couldn’t get into the con due to it being over capacity…didn’t look that full to me…

The line going up to the dealers was hell. I don’t know why, upstairs isn’t that full though…

A ton of people lining up…

Walking around…

Darth Vader…

If you look closer…Darth Vader is actually made from Lego…a lot of Lego bricks…

Kaze-Hime’s booth…I hanged out here for a while at the con…

Amano Yoshitaka was one of the guest of honor at FanExpo…

Waiting in line for his autograph. The only way getting his autograph is to attend his Q and A. Which by the way, was pretty good!!!

Met him too!!!

Wondered around FanExpo…

Lined up at the masquerade… To get the tickets for the masquerade is to get it at the masquerade info counter. You need a deluxe pass or VIP pass to go. Dealers, staff, volunteers and artists are also allowed too!!!

Waiting for it to start. Took a long time for it to finally start. At that time, I was getting pretty damn sleepy. Haven’t slept much I have to say…

Behind me…my friend Tubby is the one smiling in the photo…

After the masquerade, headed back to the hotel…

Was pretty hungry, due to not eating for almost the whole day…

Went to East Side Mario’s for some food…

This is what happens when my friend Tubby kept asking for limes…a coke with 7 limes…and yes, he used it all!!!

Steak for dinner!!!

Last morning of FE. Was pretty much packing up and getting ready for the con…

Omar Dogan. One of the main artists at Udon Comics!!! He draws most of the Street Fighter Comics!!!

Birdman was at FE doing interviews…

There was still a lot of people on day 3…

Tried out MicroVolts…not a bad game… Got a free closed beta key and a free USB for playing it…

A lot of people…

Medapod fainted…

We had base camp on the last day so I went there to take a small break…

Went to Anime Name that Tune!!!

Jango Fett lego…

The G4 TV booth…with pretty comfy carpeting…

The Tron Booth girls!!!

Old Batman car!!!

Ubisoft also had a booth…which had demos of some games…

Walked around…

Another display of Star Wars battles…

Took a picture with Hitoshi Ariga!!!

The Udon booth at the end of the day…

By this time, FanExpo had ended and people are packing up…

Super Kawaii booth!!!

Left the con around 6PM with a ton of stuff!!!

After all that, my friends and I decided to eat at Kenny’s Noodles. We all went home afterward and I pretty much slept once I got home…

Cosplays:

Something I regret was not taking more cosplay photos. There was a ton of nice cosplay photos on Saturday but a lot of them couldn’t get into the building. Also, there were too many people. Hard to get a proper shot when people walk into the photo. FanExpo this year had a ton of great cosplays and I wish I took pictures of them all!!!

Homer cosplay…

The Dark side is present at FanExpo!!!

Lightning cosplayer!!!

Pokemon anyone…

Magnet Vocaloid!!!

Looks like the undead is here too…

That’s one big gun…

Mew cosplay…

Long Arm…

Scott Pilgrim vs the World cosplay!!!

Jedi cosplay…

Setsugetsuka Len Kagamine cosplay… Was thinking about this version as my next Len cosplay but then I thought about it and no. Not going to happen. Still, now looking at this, might work on that…but will do another version before that…

Fallout 3…

Kick-Ass cosplay!!!

Len and Rin cosplay!!! Surprisingly I didn’t see many Vocaloid cosplays…

Final Fantasy cosplay…

I think it’s a Gears of War cosplay…Carmine…

Alice in Wonderland I think…

Even the little ones are joining the Empire…

Final Fantasy Versus and 7…

A huge mix of cosplays!!!

Klingon…

Gundam Girl!!!

A character from Who Framed Roger Rabit!!!

Yoko (Gurren Lagann) and Travis (No More Heroes)…

A really nice Eva Rei cosplay!!!

FanExpo did bring some extremely lovely and awesome cosplays!!! I didn’t take any pictures of my cosplay due to the fact that the wig was horrible. Next con, going to see which character or which version of Len Kagamine I’ll be doing…

Got plans to cosplay as a character from Kamen Rider W with a couple of my friends (doing a group cosplay) but not sure when will that happen though. Also I might consider doing Setsugetsuka Len and Kokoro Len at future cons too!!! Might also take some of my friends requests. Still not sure should I take Kaze-Hime’s request of the character she wants me to go as…

The Masquerade:

Each big convention has one. It’s where people where their cosplays and put on skits. They also win prizes too!!! Most of these skits are pretty damn funny too!!!

The host of the masquerade…

The stage ninjas!!!

A darth lord needs a vacation too!!!

I have no clue what that is…

Kon dancing to Pedobear music…

Old Spice…

It’s Link…

and a ninja…

Left for Dead cosplay…

My friend cosplaying as Bridget doing a Yo-Yo performance…

Throughout the whole show…whenever a really sexy cosplay comes out, the crowd yells Jailbait!!! LOL!!!

Green Lantern doing an old spice commercial…

Rage!!!

The masquerade show was overall great!!! I like FanExpo’s masquerade more than Anime Norths due to the amount of different cosplays and really funny skits!!!

My thoughts:

Pros: The event overall was pretty awesome. All the events and guests at FanExpo were great!!! The cosplays were damn good. The booths with game demos and the dealers area overall was a great!!! The con overall was awesome!!!

Cons: There were a few cons during FE. Organization is pretty bad this year compared to previous years. I think it’s due to the move back to the North Building. Saturday was a huge problem for the con. While I got the VIP pass, others who got the regular or deluxe pass, they weren’t so lucky as me. Apparently it was filled to a point that the fire marshal ordered the doors to be closed to everyone but the VIP pass holders and exhibitors. I think they should have both North and South buildings open for the entire con. That way, there would be an easier flow of people and the convention center wouldn’t be so crowded!!! Another con would be the price to enter. A lot of people did say the price was a lot. $60 for a weekend pass is a bit much I say. That’s pretty much it, it was an awesome 3 days!!!

The Loot:

I never leave a convention empty handed. I always need to buy something at these big cons and FanExpo is a big con. From what I heard, FanExpo it’s second to Comic-con in the US. This year, I came home with a ton of great stuff and a lot of autograph goodies. I also got something that I know no one except Udon (The comic company) who has it. I’m going to keep the loot post short for now as I still need to work on my Japan loot post coming later this week.

This is my loot…and it’s a heck of a loot from FanExpo!!!

Got some nice manga and comics. Also got a signed con only comic from Omar.

Looking inside the Megaman manga, there’s Hitsohi-sans autograph!!! I also got his business card as well during FanExpo. I gave him mine too!!!

Bought some doujins. The only ones that I liked were the touhou ones. All the other ones where all hardcore hentai…which I don’t like…

Got this sign at the PurePwnage booth…don’t take the sign the wrong way now…

This is something that I know no one except the people at Udon Comics has. This Juri vinyl poster was used as the backdrop of Udon’s booth and it’s a good 6ft tall. They auctioned it at the last day of FE at the end of the con and I was able to get this for the starting bid of $100CAD. The good thing is that no one bid on this. 2 people bid on the autograph Hitoshi Megaman one which went up $350. I’m not that crazy as I prefer Street Fighter. Now that main problem, where to hang this…

An autograph of Stan Lee on my Heroman poster!!! Also got a photo with him as well!!!

Got Zone of the Enders 2 on PS2. Been wanting this for a long time…

Got Unicorn MG model kit. Not as cheap as in Japan…still, been wanting it for a while…

Also got some nice art. The bottom 3 are from my friend Kaze-Hime. I do love her art a lot and she does a fantastic job at drawing Ciel and the Kagamine Twins…

I love Firefly. It was a great show and getting Summer Glau’s autograph was a great thing!!!

Got some limited prints by UDON when I was at FanExpo.

I also bought Amano’s Dawn art book at the convention as I forgot to bring my Final Fantasy 13 or any of my Final Fantasy games I have to FanExpo. I did see someone bring their Final Fantasy 13 PS3 to get it signed. Now I wished I did buy a FF PS3.

His autograph, he drew a Moogle in my art book!!!

Overall, this loot was pretty good for FanExpo. I got some nice stuff and a poster in which I thought I would never get!!!

Well, that’s it for FanExpo 2010. Next con for me is DotCon in November. I’ll be for sure cosplaying at this event, but not sure which cosplay yet… My next post is my Japan Loot post     which will appear somewhere this week. It’s a huge loot so this is going to take a while.

Well, finally back in Toronto and damn am I tired. I’m currently unpacking all my stuff I got from earlier this trip. The loot post won’t come until all my goods come in the mail. Most likely will start it once all the goods come in the mail. Over the past few days I’ve been busy when I came back. From movies with friends to concerts with friends. It’s been a busy few days in Toronto…

Boxes, boxes, boxes…more boxes coming soon!!!

A small sneak peak into the loot so far…more loot coming soon!!!

Had a chance to go to Dir En Grey’s concert today on August 23. Well, Toronto is their only stop in their tour in Canada. So I was pretty damn lucky!!! It was also my friends Tubby’s bday too!!! He was super excited about it. His favorite band is Dir En Grey!!!

DIR EN GREY IN PERSON!!!

Had a chance to shake their hands and also get autographs!!! Love the VIP passes they sell!!!

Was in the front row!!! I got some nice pics too!!!

Kyo!!!

Dir En Grey!!!

Top pic is my friend Tubs holding a Dir En Grey towel!!! It was his birthday too!!! He was pretty damn happy about it!!! My ear is still ringing from being in the front row but it was awesome!!! Got a pick from the guitarist too!!!

Well, I’ve been checking the tracking number of my packages from Japan and so far it says it’s in Toronto. Hopefully, all my loot will come in tomorrow. If it all comes in tomorrow, I can finish my loot post before FanExpo!!!

On a side note: be attending FanExpo this year. Cosplaying on the second and last day of FE!!!

Currently on my last hours in Tokyo, Japan. I’ll be going back home to Toronto very soon. I’ll surely say I’ll miss this country. These 2 days were great and fun!!! The last day was a nightmare. The highlight was the Girls Dead Monster that I went to!!! It was an awesome concert!!! I’m going to miss this country but going to try my best to make it back for Comiket 80 next year!!!

Day 15:

Today was a slow but great day!!! Went to watch Girls Dead Monster Feat. Lisa at Blitz in Akasaka. Blitz is located beside the TBS building. TBS is known for broadcasting K-On! on TV. Akasaka is located in the middle of Tokyo and can be reached by taking the Tokyo Metro…

First thing I did today was eat Pepper Lunch!!! I’m so going to miss this meal!!!

Headed towards Ochanomizu to use the metro to go to Akasaka station!!!

Took the Tokyo Metro to go to Akasaka…

Takes a good 6 stops to get there…

Waiting for the train…

Arrived at Akasaka station sometime later…

There was already a line up when I got there…

Good thing is, you can leave the line…also they have a K-On!! booth nearby.

What they sell…there!!!

This is where the concert is held!!!

Big crowd!!!

This line is for people who want to buy concert goods!!! I lined up for it too!!!

Waiting in line. At around 6pm, they started letting people in to the hall. The concert started around 7pm and ended at 9pm!!! I must say the concert was awesome, minus the people pushing and being crowded!!! Loved seeing Lisa live!!! I can say this, Japanese concerts are nuts!!! Just insane!!!!!!

Concert was over…time to head back!!!

The goods they sold at the concert!!!

I realized when walking down the stairs, that the stairs itself was somewhat of a TV!!!

Headed back to Daiba to grab a meal to eat and rest up. Also started to pack for my journey home!!!

Day 16:

The so called last day in Japan!!! I met up with a reader of my blog Kirara3500 in Akihabara. Also while at it, I had to get things for my friends back home.

Headed towards the station…

I will miss this sight!!!

It was pretty hot today. I was sweating faster then normal…

Arrived at Akihabara and met up with Kirara3500.

We ate lunch at Matsuya. We exchanged business cards. What surprised me the most was he gave me copies of his doujinshi they he draws. It was awesome and I’ll show you all once I bring all my loot back to Toronto. Loot post is most likely to appear next week.

We were left to wonder around Akihabara after lunch. We all went to Melonbooks and I do regret buying a ton of doujinshi…cause they are heavy!!!

Spot the bear at Akihabara!!!

Apparently the new Akihabara station!!!

Walked around a bit more…

Kirara3500 and I went our separate ways.

Had sushi for dinner!!!

After sushi, we went back to Daiba!!!

It was still a bit early. So we decided to head out and take night photos around Daiba…

Had some Starbucks while I was at it.

What I’ll miss the most is the view I get from Daiba. It’s just stunning!!!

After a good hour or so, we went back to our hotel to pack. I have so far a good 8 boxes this trip!!! A lot of them are damn heavy!!!

Day 17:

Day 17 was filled with problems after problems. It was a giant headache and something I hope will never happen again. My credit card company and bank decided to be jackass and put a small block on my cards and freeze my account. This caused me to miss my flight. So currently I’m still in Tokyo staying one more flight. The credit card company and bank removed the block around an hour or so ago. Their reason, they weren’t sure it was me using it as I used a lot of money here in Japan. This happens even after I told I was on a trip and will use all my money. This day was a big headache.

Rushed to Akihabara in the morning to get last minute gifts for friends…

I’ll miss riding the JR!!!

Headed to Gamers first!!!

Pretty much rushed all over the place to get stuff for friends!!!

After running around Akihabara, we headed back to the hotel. Then the problems started. My bank and credit card company started to be jackasses and stop my cards cause I was spend a lot. It took a while to fix it too. So basically, I missed my flight, so I decided to stay another night and take another flight tomorrow…

We went to explore around Daiba cause we have nothing better to do.

Decided to go to Decks beside Aqua City.

Hello Kitty balloon float…

Wanted to go to Joypolis…

A bullet train coming out of the wall…

A cigarette box saying no smoking…

A food court that looks like a class room…

Looks like old Tokyo…

Enter Muscle Park…

Their food menu…

Big sandwich…

Went to Hong Kong town in Decks…

Looks nice and they got Cantonese music…

We were pretty hungry so we decided to eat something…

Pretty damn good Chinese food!!!

We decided to walk around…

Walked around some more in Aqua City.

Going to miss Daiba. This is an awesome area!!!

Well, going to leave Japan tomorrow. Got to rest up and repack my bags. I’m going to hate the flight tomorrow…13 hours…long hours!!!!!! Will post another post once I get back to Canada!!!

Every summer for the past 2 years I’ve been going to summer Comiket. This year marks my third time going to summer Comiket. Due to me being tired during the course of Comiket, I didn’t post anything at all except on DC (only day 1) which isn’t that detailed. Since Comiket is now over, I decided to make a post about all 3 days. Comiket was overall fun but the line organization is a huge mess and pretty much made me wonder what’s the point in moving. More on that later, here is my long coverage of Comiket 78.

Day 1:

Day started with a visit to my convenience store beside my hotel. The group that I’m in got supplies for Comiket…

It’s too dark to take photos…but the line shuffling made us go back further in the line…

With some light from the sky after a few hours, was funny able to take proper photos!!!

The big sight…

First day of Comiket, the west building line is always filled!!! Today is not an exception…

So many people in line!!!

A blip advertising a card game…

The lines of people…

Line started up moving towards Comiket…

So many people behind me… Our group of 6 people decided early on that we will split up to cover more booths then meet at a meeting area at this time.

First section of the line moving…

Behind me when moving…

Going up the stairs to get to the corporate booth area…

This is where the Nanoha and Typemoon lines are. They are the longest lines at Comiket!!!

First stop is the Nanoha booth!!!

The line was long!!!

This is what they were selling at the Nanoha booth!!!

While waiting for the line to keep moving, I took the a pic of the almost empty cosplay square…

A guy cosplaying as the old kung fu guy from Virtual Fighter!!!

The line continued on…

Still in the Nanoha line…damn this line is long…so far 2 hours waiting…

2.5 hours later, almost there… I did get what I want so I was pretty happy…

The ad says Hangry and Angry…so I’m thinking that’s what they’re called!!!

My friend and I went to the east halls…

The east hall is pretty packed…

Went to get myself Plum doujins!!!

Lining up for Plum and the line looks like it’s long…

It was hot but good thing is, I did bring an electric fan with me… After 20 minutes, I got my Plum stuff I wanted!!! Doujinshi lines takes less time to get through then a corporate booth line…

Inside of the east hall!!!

Wondered around a bit and bought some doujinshi for my friends…

Walked towards the meeting place which my friend and I met up with the other people in our group…

Met up our group…and took a long rest…

Headed back to the corporate booths…and bought more stuff!!!

There are booth girls who cosplay and sell stuff. There are some who let people take pictures of them…others not so much…

We stayed there till Comiket ended and we left for the train…

Part of the loot at the end of the day. I can say my hands and shoulder hurt a lot!!!

Try carrying all this loot back…not easy…

A lot of stuff… Something I regret about day 1 was not making enough time for cosplay photos. I wished I did though!!!

Day 2:

Day 2 was more or less the same idea but I focused more on the doujinshi side of Comiket. The main difference was that I lined up at the east hall this time instead of the west hall.

Was lining up at around midnight…there were so many people a head of us…

Something I don’t like was the pointless line reorganization. There was still plenty of room around the area that was setup for lines. Somehow, they make us walk around in a pointless circle and have us sit down again in almost the exact same area.

Went to the west to check up on 2 friends lining up for corporate booths…

Headed back towards the east hall…

Empty cosplay area…

Ad on vending machine for Comic Cure…

Still in a long line of people…

What you need…a chair, towel, water and food… Remember to keep yourself hydrated through the wait in the line.

Daylight came and more people…

Went to the washroom and there is a huge amount of people that keeps filing in…

Spotted a Toho car…with Yuyuko on the cover!!!

When I got back…I can’t even see the end of the line…

When Comiket started, I directly headed to C-Clays booth!!!

Took a good 20 minutes…

My loot from the booth!!!

So many people being all pushy and stuff…

Went for more doujinshi shopping. The east hall was pretty bad that day. It was just filled to the brim with people…all pushing and shoving… My friend says east hall has a giant meat wave…

Got an area to rest up…we were able to set up a meeting area at the same place again!!!

So many people…

The area is packed with people…

Went back to the east hall to get more doujinshi…

Sign says do not sit around the ball, and people still does…

Got a ton of doujinshi and went back to the resting area and drop off my doujins with friends. Then we headed to the cosplay square… Note, my cosplay photos were all in a weird order when I uploaded them. So my photos are all over the place… Also for some reason, my vertical pictures end of last in the bunch…don’t know what happened…

BRS cosplay…

Box Gundam!!!

Gakupo, Miku and Kaito!!!

Yugioh…

Ranka Lee…

Reporter Miku!!! I think…

I believe this was a pretty good photo here!!!

More magnet cosplayers!!!

Comiket was ending so I decided to head back to where the group was.

Rest up for a few minutes and decided to head back to the hotel with a ton of loot in tow. It was really heavy!!! Bought too many doujinshi…

Friends wanted to watch fireworks at 7pm but I didn’t have the energy to do it. So we had dinner…

A lot of people claiming good spots for the fireworks…it’s Comiket all over again but for fireworks!!!

Walked to somewhere for food…

Had Yoshinoya for dinner. After dinner, my friends went to watch fireworks while I got back to the hotel to get a good nights sleep before I head out again for the final day of Comiket…

Day 3:

Day 3 wasn’t kind to me in the photo taking department. This mostly happened during when I went to the cosplay area. There were 3 things I didn’t like about day 3. The lighting at cosplay square was pretty bad. Photos being overexposed to underexposed and the heat at cosplay square was insane and the last thing was it was really hot. I was hotter than the other 2 days combined. I came out of there with a good tan.

Lined up for the west hall around 12am in the morning. This was due to the fact the Huke’s booth was all the way at west hall compared to my friends who went to the east hall for other stuff…

Sat down under the big sight and waited…for a long time…

In the morning when the sun came out…

This was my setup area…

Line started to move a bit passed 9am…

Was inside waiting at 9:30am and waited till Comiket started…

Quickly ran for Huke’s booth…

Finished Huke’s line in about 20 mins…

Went for M.M.M’s booth…

The stuff I got from 2 tables…

People still pouring into the west hall still…

It’s a new ending line of people…

Took a break after walking around for a while…

Went to the cosplay square to take pictures of cosplayers!!!

K-on! cosplayers!!!

Durarara anyone!!!

Goodbye Big Sight…till next year!!!

The cosplay square from the station…so many people…

Leaving Comiket…

Arrived back at the hotel all tanned…took a good break!!!

We decided to go grab a bite to eat and spotted…a lot of bottles!!!

Had some Pork Cutlet for dinner and it was great!!! Real food YAY!!!

Great place for Tonkatsu!!! Love the sauce they got!!!

Went back to the hotel afterward and rest up cause I need it!!! Within the 3 days of Comiket, I had a total of 5 hours of sleep…not good at all!!!

It took a while to write this post. I mean a long while!!! It ended up to be a really long post!!! I mean really long!!! I hope you enjoy the cosplay photos everyone!!!

Both of these days were filled with I wants but couldn’t get due to the restriction of my budget and Comiket coming up. I plan to spend a lot at Comiket and trust me, it’s a lot. Seeing things I want just buy looking around is very tempting. I got to look forward and remember there is better things at Comiket. Anyways, went to Nakano Broadway for the past 3 days with a bit of Akihabara on the side.

Day 9:

Went to Kanda station to go to Nakano station.

After in Nakano station… To go to Nakano Broadway, just head to the north exit…

Meet up with some friends and we decided to walk around…

Since everyone was hungry, we decided to eat first…

Went to eat eel. Not a big fan of it so I didn’t eat any.

We decided to start walking to Nakano Broadway…

We checked out Mandarake…apparently staff here don’t like people holding cameras…

There was so many things I want but can’t get due to me not bring a lot of money.

Went to the arcade inside, and played some games. Also tried the UFO catchers there!!!

At curry pork cutlet for dinner…

Since it was getting late, we went our separate ways.

This marks the end of the day. Pretty much went back to the hotel and rested up for another day of Tokyo…

Day 10:

This day is somewhat of a lazy day for me. We started really late today…

Took the same route to Nakano…

Went back to Nakano cause I wanted to get something…

UNI QLO with big doors…

After buying what I wanted, we left…

Went back to the station…

Went to Akihabara…

Stopped by Tower Records to pick up a new Scandal CD.

We decided to relax and pretty much walk around Akihabara…

Pretty much just wondered around Akihabara…

We made a list on what we want and decided to purchase the stuff we want after Comiket…

Went to Taito Station…

Went to check out K-Books as well…

Went to Yodabashi Camera’s 8th floor to eat Pepper Lunch.

We decided to head back to Akihabara early and looked around. We wondered around Odaiba but I didn’t bring my camera along sadly.

Little small sneak peak on my loot…

Had to start using the catalog to figure out what I want…and trust me, there is A TON of stuff I want!!!

Won these in the UFO Machines…

Also pretty happy about getting this.

Day 11:

Akihabara Matsuri was today…met up with someone that is going to Comiket 78.

Arrived Akihabara at 10:15am. There was already a ton of people…

A lot of people buying stuff…I have to be careful on what I buy as I need the money for Comiket…

Long line for Minori stuff!!!

So many people…

Awesome bike…

Since we were hungry, we ate something simple and cheap…since Comiket 78 is coming up…

Went to Visual Arts booth…long line!!!

An hour later, finally at the front of the line…

Want the plushie!!!

One heck of a car!!! I want a Mitsubishi Lancer!!!

Went to wonder around Akihabara…

I did buy some stuff as well…which is never good cause Comiket is in a few hours…

Met up with the rest of the group…

Went to eat Pepper Lunch…

It was raining by the time I left Akiba…hope it doesn’t rain when I line up for Comiket…

Went back to my hotel early to get ready for Comiket 78. Currently getting ready for Comiket 78 and going to take a small nap before I head out.

I’ll be providing Comiket coverage. Hope to see you all who attends Comiket there!!!
