Anime Conventions

I'm mainly starting this because Anime Boston is later this week, but I was wondering how many troper's are planning on going to anime conventions this year?

And I figure I'd start a thread for tropers going to anime con's around the world so they could make plans and meet up :D

Already been to Anime Detour a couple of weeks ago, will have pictures from the TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life panel up soonish.

I understand there will also be something called "Animinneapolis" later this summer.

I'm going to be at Anime Boston for sure.

Heading to Sakuracon this weekend

yea, fellow Ab-er

Not going to AB. If I was, y'know, not going to be in Chicago, I might have. Or if it was less chaotic. Or if I had actually gotten my cosplay ready in time because I intended to go. (I haven't, of course, because I'm not going.)

I will, however, be making much use of this thread when ConnectiCon come around!

Going to Fanime in San Jose. I will be hosting a shmup panel there (look for "STG 101: Intro to Shoot-Em-Ups" on your panel schedule).

Man, Anime Boston was lots of fun. I wonder if I bumped into any tropers without knowing it... Any of you happen to see a Ryoga cosplayer?

Which Ryoga, the Ramma or Yu-gi-oh? though I don't think so either way.

Ranma.

Can't say I did but until now I had no clue who that was, I could say what panels I was at.

I'm going to connecticon this upcoming July myself, And I might go to anime Boston next year.

Anime Central begins on Friday, May 20, just outside Chicago. I will be there. My goals are:

1. take good cosplay photos 2. don't waste too much money in dealers room 3. support creators I respect in the artist alley 4. attend some diverting panels 5. not get exhausted too quickly

I plan to go to MMC in Berlin later this year (October, more exactly). That will be my very first anime convention.

Anyone else going to Anime North next weekend?

Im also going to ACEN(Anime CE Ntral in Rosemont, in Chicago metro area). look for the guy with a domo hat and gloves (might not wear the gloves) and TTGL armbands though. probably black nike sneakers. whatever else i dunno.

Also did any other Ab-er's notice the massive amount of Home Stuck cosplays.

Fanime is tomorrooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww :O

Yeah, that was awesome. I didn't see any Fereris though, which was a little disappointing

I'd never actually read it until after the con, but I knew of it because of tropes. I ended up losing interest before I even reached the characters I saw at the con.

There were tons of trolls at Anime North, too. Panty and Stocking were also everywhere.

Anybody else going to A-Kon in Dallas?

Also many, many Ramonas.

I was surprised by the lack of Madoka Magica costumes, but I assume it's because they didn't have time to make them

@Shadowbell: There was one Feferi at Anime North, iirc.

There were a ton of Homestuck and Panty & Stocking cosplays at Fanime, too.

I wish I could go to Anime Expo in July...
