anime expo

The anime expo is held in anaheim, ca (l.a.) at the hilton this weekend. You still have time to register for your ticket and badge! Sign up now before it is too late!!


Okay, sorry to sound like some weirdo. Um, anyone going to the expo? If so, I'll probably see you all there. I'm going, definitely. I just have to encourage my relative to tag along (he lives in L.A.). I hope you guys can come, ya? I'll see you then.

Mikage-san - July 2, 2003 07:18 PM (GMT)
I wish... :/


TauntingDestiny - July 2, 2003 07:28 PM (GMT)
Hey Melfina I'll see you there. I go every year and it works out great
because I live in Anaheim. so this year I don't have to pay for a hotel.

And I think I'm cel hunting for Mikage-san there also.

TauntingDestiny - July 2, 2003 08:16 PM (GMT)
Never mind She ordered a bunch of other cels. (which I can't wait to see)

But also Melfina I was wondering if you also go to comic con in San Diego because I will be there as well?

TD

Melfina - July 2, 2003 08:21 PM (GMT)
I'll see you there, TD.

I'm going to look for some anime stuff, too.
Hey, Mikage-San! These events never end! Hopefully, you'll be able to catch
the next one. Hang in there!! I felt the same way when I wanted to go to certain
events. hang in there, mikage!

about the comic part, I don't think I'll be there. My parents will be going to SD on saturday and I'll be at the expo on sunday. Since my relative is busy on saturday.

HI!

I already pre-registered but I'm having second thoughts on going.... I was wondering if it would be worth it? Cause I went to one before in the L.A. shrine but my experience wasn't that great.... probably cause I had no money to spend....HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

I knoe the this upcoming one is the big one....so its probably alot better than the one I went to, yeah?

Whats to expect and what day(s) are you planning to go???

LAter! :blink:


Mikage-san - July 3, 2003 03:17 AM (GMT)
I do plan on going to cons eventually... but not for another year at least. I go pick up my nephew from daycare and I'm half-dead, so... :p


Melfina - July 3, 2003 04:22 AM (GMT)
Aw... hang in there, Mikage!

I don't know what to expect. This is my first time going so I am not sure. All I know is, we'll be expecting some guests, KH (Kingdom Hearts) cosplayers, booths to buy anime, etc. Why not check out the site? The only thing I'm looking for is the time as to when the event will begin. As for the second question, I'll be there on sunday.

Edit: Oh how cool... Mitsuru Hongo is going to be one of the guests of honors!! I love him!! LOL !! I guess you know why by looking at around my sig and avvie. :wub:

HOPE TO SEE WHOEVER IS GOING THERE!!
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A NEW ONE.. SO.. HANG IN THERE!!

FiNaL_YUgi - July 3, 2003 05:57 AM (GMT)
Oh I see... I'll check out the site more, Thanks!!!!

TauntingDestiny - July 3, 2003 07:05 AM (GMT)
Whatever you guys do avoid Saturday from 12:00 to 3:00
the place was so packed last year that they were not
allowing people in because they deemed it unsafe. I have gone
to AX for the past 5 years and the turnout last year was
incredible. This year it's suppossed to be even larger.

If your going to be in the anime rooms watching movies get there when it starts in the morning or you will have trouble finding a seat. They are supposed to add another viewing room but we'll see.

And final yugi keep your pre-reg
it is an amazing expierience. plus it's always cool to meet the people you post with
(Hint, Hint ^_~ ) and not to mention when you see the line for people trying to get in and you can skip all that. Just go threw the line for pre reg and your set.

hope to see you there.

Aki - July 3, 2003 07:01 PM (GMT)
Ahh! I went to the AX last August when it was in Manhattan. n.n It was two blocks away from my house so I just had to drag myself away each morning. It was great, AX is awesome. :O this year I'm just going to BAAF [Big Apple Anime fest] which is in the same place. Just last year they had a joint thing, but it'll still be fun! n.n

TauntingDestiny - July 3, 2003 07:32 PM (GMT)
Hey Aki,

at BAAF are you going to compete
in the anime idol competition?

TD

Melfina - July 3, 2003 11:39 PM (GMT)
Once you register online, print out the pre-registration form and complete it with a check of the total price. Then take this to whatever booth they want you to meet. Most likely to the Un-prepaid registration booth.

I'll definitely be there before or around eight o' clock in the morning. I'll be there with my relative, so yeah, it'll be wonderful. I won't have to worry about Saturday's event so I won't have to fret about all the people. Is there anyone going on sunday?

And Aki, good luck in the anime competition if you are going to enter in with your Ceres costume!!

Hope to see you all there, AnC/ Anime fans! It is surely going to be a blast!!

Edit: There are going to be autograph booths for the guests of honors, too. It doesn't look like any AnC guests will be appearing, though. But if you are planning to get a siggie, bring any material for them to sign. I'm bringing my OS stuff there for Mitsuru....
....Another thing, are we supposed to go to the main building or the hotels?

FiNaL_YUgi - July 4, 2003 05:51 AM (GMT)
Ah man, I'm pre-reg for Saturday.....geeezzzz.....hopefully I can pre-reg again later for Sunday, that is if I can still go... :blink:

I wanna drag mah cousin along but he's still not sure if he can go so......I'll I can do is wait...hahahahaha

Have FUn you two!!!!!!

TauntingDestiny - July 4, 2003 07:49 AM (GMT)
Man all my words about Saturday being the worst day to go and it looks like that's the only day I can go now. My boss screwed me over and I had to work today tomorrow and Sunday. :angry:

But hey Melfina and Final-yugi if you guys want to meet me and have lunch or something PM me and I'll give you my cel. We could eat and chat somewhere in or around expo. Hope you guys have fun there at AX

TD

Melfina - July 4, 2003 10:00 PM (GMT)
Hmm.... that would be fun, TD. But are you going to Sunday's event? Because since my relative works on Saturday, I can't go. Sunday is the only way I can attend the AX event. :(


Hey, Mikage-San, I'm looking forward to your site. Looks good so far!!

:angry:

I can't make websites... :jealous:

FiNaL_YUgi - July 5, 2003 06:01 AM (GMT)
Darnit, I can't go no more, my cousin backed out....I guess I'm gona have to wait for the next convention.... :angry:

Whens the one at San Diego, Comic con Right???

You two have fun at Anaheim......wish I could join you two...

TauntingDestiny - July 5, 2003 08:17 AM (GMT)
Sorry Melfina I am only able to attend Saturday, my stupid job is making me work on Sunday :angry: oh well maybe we can meet up next year that way things are planned out better.

and I will be there everyday except Saturday.

Melfina - July 7, 2003 03:25 AM (GMT)
Hey everyone!!! I came back from AX around one or two in the afternoon (left around eight) and it was darn awesome!!! I couldn't get a siggie from Mitsuru, though :extremely angry: because he didn't show up. :loser:

Anyway, on saturday, I got a AnC artbook (the one with Aya on the cover) and it looks sooo pretty!!!! :wub: I fell in love with the piccies!! I'm so happy to have this book.

And on sunday, for the AX, I got a $75 Wei Cel !!!!! The pic is from the Denouement episode. There were also Toya/Shouta, toya, Aya, Aki, Magaki, alec (and couple other chars) and Wei inside of some sort of plane or ship (because it shows Wei standing next to a guy wearing headphones). There were also Dvd's and Magnas of Anc. Cosplayers are awesome, too. There were only a few cosplayers that looked bad. most of them are really cool, though. I wished you were there, yugi and Mikage!!

I'm going back to Sacramento (where I live tomorrow) so I'll see you tomorrow!!

FiNaL_YUgi - July 7, 2003 04:46 AM (GMT)
WOW.....::speechless and shocked at myself::

hmmm...I guess I can't be mad at myself for long....so I guess no regrets...::crys::

OK im over it...

Congrats on the stuff Melfina!!!!!! SOunds like there were alot of good things out there....

Howd it go for you TD?

Yuhi - July 14, 2003 11:32 AM (GMT)
I'm glad you had tons of fun, Mel !! Sorry, I have been too busy to tag along with you. But I'm glad you got some good items there. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Cels, right?

Phooey... I need to go to cons. :mellow:

Melfina - July 14, 2003 06:19 PM (GMT)
Yeah, they're CELS! :D Sooo expensive, though!! They are $20-$80 a piece!!
Yikes!! :rolleyes:
thanks, Yuhi.

Mikage-san - July 14, 2003 06:59 PM (GMT)
$20-80 is average for the AnC market right now... but since I didn't see them I can't judge. ;_;

I spend too much money on those little plastic sheets lined with crack.

Sorry for the late reply FY I just never noticed new posts on this topic until today.
The con felt somewhat empty to me because I was only able to go the one day. I just hung around the rooms watching anime and only bought a action figure there.

I'm going to make up for it at comic con this year. Are you going to the event in San Diego this year?

:lol: you and I both. Why couldn't we have gotten addicted to something cheaper?
