did ya see any crazy inuyasha fans during this trip?
I saw many, many Inuyasha fans. That seemed to be one of the more popular animes at the con. Many people dressed in red robes with white/silver flowing hair, dog ears, and a silver sword. Lots of Final Fanstasy, Chobits, and Kingdom Hearts cosplayers as well. My personal favorites were the Fruits Basket girls dressed in the Lolita costumes. My daughter is very much into Fruits Basket. So, have to say, a lot of it has rubbed off on me.
What I found most amazing was the market for anime/manga stuff. The dealers room was packed and people were plunking down money for stuff hand over fist. Myself included. T-shirts, swords, collectibles, plushies, drawings, posters, playing cards, books, DVDs, kimonos, even real Japanese school girl outfits. If you wanted it, they had it. For quite a price, I'd say.
But, what I found really odd was that there was no pocky or candy for sale there--at all. None. Not even my favorite rice candies. *sigh* Perhaps, it was some law imposed by the town in which the con took place. Or something to do with the center in which it was held (maybe an established food vendor had a no-compete license?) My daughter was dying for some pocky. Luckily, there are a few stores in the area that sell it. But, they are a bit of a hike.
probaly something i would do.... but probaly not in public lol i own nothing of inuyasha yet perhaps in the future the dvd's will be the first thing i get
