Otakon 2013 ~DrunkenAnt

DrunkenAnt~ Desu
Its been two weeks after Otakon 2013 and I'm finally getting this blog post out.

Otakon 2013 was something I was looking forwards to the ~World Premiere~ of the
"Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai" finale episodes, and the Original Creator Fushimi Tsukasa along with Director Kanbe Hiroyuki were going to be there.

Otakon for me started that Thursday after work. I rushed home than rushed to Chocokeroppi's house. Than he drove us to Baltimore so would could get are Con Badges early and beat you the Friday rush.

I went right for the OreImo~ <3


Come Friday the rush of people came and you can see them lined up around the building 3 times waiting to get their Badges.

The ~World Premiere~ of "OreImo" finale episodes was going to show at 2PM. Otakon at times being called "Line-A-Con" and knowing from pass experience if you want to do something big you have to get in "Line" early. So I came 2 hours early and there were a group of people sitting around the area.

After some asking I find it its what I'm looking for~
The "Official Unofficial Line" Its just a group of people waiting around before the "Official Line" opens.

After a good hour or so waiting around some one yells out "The line is over there!!~" The mass of people dangerously rush over to the other end of the hall way. I'm lucky I didn't get ran over...
Than after standing in the real line for a bit we were all let in and were given these nice posters before viewing.



It was a good viewing~ Its was such a nice drama punch in the face.


`Cause I'm a little short
The only little problem I had was not being able to see the subs that are on the bottom of the screen as peoples heads were kinda blocking the way~ But that's wasn't a bit problem as I was able to see all of it when I moved my head back and forth between the heads to changes view angles.

Original Creator Fushimi Tsukasa along with Director Kanbe Hiroyuki were there for the viewing too~ The autograph session for the both of them was at 5:30PM.
I had to leave right after the last episode was finished. They had a Q&A session but if I stayed for that in till it ended it would be to late to get a good spot in the "Official Unofficial Line"  for the autographs which were in another room on the other end of the convention center.

After some "Official Unofficial Line" standing and pushing to get to the "Official Line" I was able to see both Original Creator Fushimi Tsukasa along with Director Kanbe Hiroyuki.

I ended up finding out that I was not allowed to take photos... But yea
Man~ Looks too good <3

After all of that it was about 6PM and there wasn't anything left for me to do...



The Dealers room closes at 8PM so I decided to check it out.

Heading back to my hotel I see this~

Some one put Shampoo in the Fountain

There were bubbles in the sky and streets and everywhere else.

Saturday ~
First thing I did was check out the Maid Café.


It went very well~
It was $10 to get in and that comes with a group shot photo of the maids and host.

The $10 also covers a drink and a snack. I ordered sweet tea and a cup cake that my maid recommended. The maid of my table was very likeable. She went by the name Miyu.

Maid Miyu


She was super cute and I liked her a lot.
When I got my drink and snack I told Maid Miyu that my Snack wasn't very good.... That It was missing something... Like missing some Moé. So she used her Maid powers and made it "yummier" by shooting hearts at it after a cute little chant.

After the drinks and snacks we got to play a game~
I ended up playing the "Pop-Up Pirate" game.

Its a simple game of luck where you take one of the knives and stick it in one of the holes of the barrel. If nothing happens the next person goes. However if the Pirate "Pops-Up" Then you have lost.
Maid Miyu made a wager to whom ever lost had to sing an anime song....
And I ended up losing....
Maid Miyu made me stand up and I began to get very nervous.
I sang the Op to "Hanasaku Iroha" "Hana no Iro" by nano.RIPE
I know the worlds but I know I messed everything up

After the game the other maids went up to do a little show and dance.
When it came around time to start kicking us out I really wanted a photo with Maid Miyu~
I know from last year you had to pay a fee to get a photo with a Maid.
I went up to Maid Miyu and thanked her on how well she did~ She said I was a very good Master and if I wanted a photo I had to talk to the lady at the front.
So I went to the front to pay for a photo but to my sad surprise she said they were out of Ink and can't provide the photos. I said "Can't you just send us the photos via E-mail or use my camera ?"

I was still shut down... I truly don't understand why... I know they have a no photography rule but ..... Whatever... I just left without saying any more
It would of been perfect if I got a photo....sigh.........

After the Maid Café I went to the dealers room~
I took a lot of photos of figures that they had on sale and wasted some money too~

I ended up getting "(SQ) Homura, Sayaka, and Kyouko Prize Figure" of Madoka Magica~

I had Mami and Madoka before Otakon 2013~
Now I have the full set.
Will open new ones soon ~


I also got my hands on "(FuRyu) Sasasegawa Sasami Prize Figure" Of Little Busters!


Super cute~ I just love That Hair <3


After spending a lot of time in the dealers room and looking afterwards for cosplay, my Saturday comes to an end.

That Saturday check out the people that were in the
"Line" for the "Dub Premiere" Of "Wolf Children"



Sunday~
Nothing much happened Sunday with me. I just looked around dealers room some more and sadly the day ends so fast...

Over all I had a good time~
I saw many good cosplays, got nice photos and did some cool things~
Looking forwards to next year~~~

Package update 08/13

Hello, there has been a lack in posts recently mostly due to our recent trip to Otakon and work =_=
During this time I've gotten some packages with some of the most anticipated figures for me.

This first package was sent from Oki. all of these items were web and event limited so props to Oki for helping me get them for a good price.


Early birthday present for me xD


Next is the package from Good Smile Company. It contains Snow Miku 2013 x3, which is one of my most anticipated releases for this year :D It is really amazing how shipping is only 2,000 yen. I still have yet to decide what to do with the ones I'm not going to use =_=
Can't wait to open it ._.

Next is a couple of games i picked up: Shin Megami Tensei IV and Tales of Xillia.


Lastly, I bought this keychain at Otakon xD

Ok, so this was a small update but a more detailed unboxing/review will come soon and it will include stuff from Otakon and the package from Rider Proxy :D
