Hey Everyone!
I know it's been a long while since I've updated, guilty as charged. I've been so busy between life, anime, school, and relationships. There's so much I work on constantly that writing is hard anymore. Haha, but let's get back onto topic shall we? As many of you know, I'm fairly close friends with Makka the Amerikan (You should totally check out her YouTube channel by the way). About a year ago (-ish) she mentioned to me her wonderful experiences at Ohayocon and how cool it was. I had never been to any anime conventions before. In all honesty, I've only gone to comic expos and cons. The idea of going to a convention surrounded by something I adore and others who adore it just as much made me extremely happy. So when she asked if I was interested in going I said yes without a second thought. I spent hours planning my cosplays and buying things online to piece them together. I'm kinda new to the sewing machine, and to make-up, I was and still kinda am a major Tom-boy. So I primarily buy stuff online and at thrift stores to create my cosplays. Thankfully, I also had a bit of help from an amazing costume designer (*cough* Makka *cough*) to help create the apron for my cat maid cosplay. Now there was the car rides, which we used our handy-dandy iPhones and Youtube to blast dubstep LoZ music, BabyMetal, and Melanie Martinez. Now I'll dive into the hotel, oh my angels! It was beautiful. Now I'm used to going to Holiday Inns and etc, but this hotel lordy be it felt like I was someone else. I felt like I needed to have a red dress on that was skin tight like you would see on film, maybe a pearl or diamond necklace. Did I mention they served french toast for breakfast? I melted in my chair! They also had amazing deserts like Creme Brulee Cheesecake! Okay, now to discuss the best part, the con. So even though some of the merch was lacking (aka barely a thing from these past seasons and no death parade), I still managed to score some pretty cool stuff (as I type I'm watching Diamond Daydreams to be exact). I scored a bag of cute (& a bag of adventure [which wasn't too exciting or adventurous so we shall ignore it]), and a bag of cheap, both of which had an amazing amount of stuffs. I think I fangirled the most over my OHSHC Merch, cause I've been a major fangirl of OHSHC since I watched it in like 2013 (Also still upset over the lies spread that it was getting a second season during the spring of this year...). So the first day we went to our first panel, which was about Corseted Cosplay. It was a really interesting panel, but it brought a lot of things to me and my friend's attentions which I'm going to address in a later post. We also got to attend the opening of Ohayocon which was fairly cool too! Although, the inner singer in me (yes I can sing..... that's a thing), wanted to run up on stage and sing with the girls singing on stage. Not to mention how many cosplayers I saw that I just wanted to run up to and compliment their hard-work (but there's a time and place for everything). So the first day was really fun cosplaying as neku maids (I was a himedere :3 ), and overall was fairly interesting. So the second day was by far the best day. We all decided to do a Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time cosplay. I was Navi, which pretty much consisted of a light turquoise dress, turquoise fairie wings, and white lace sleeves. There was a LoZ photo-shoot too, which was super fun cause I was the only Navi there and I got to pick on ALL THE LINKS. ALLLLLLLL OF THEMMMMMM. Hehehe. Also I may have walked into a small comic books tore at the con and yelled "HEY LISTEN!" and everyone may have paused and starred at me (not even kidding XD This happened it was fantabulous). I don't even recall all of the panels we attended that day. So my bad on that. We also went to the dance (*cough* rave *cough*) to grab some footage and just to stay for a few songs. I have to say that there were some very talented break-dancers there, but this sparked another topic I will be later addressing. Lastly we have the last day, this day we were all exhausted and fairly dead inside from little sleep. We attended my favorite panel of Ohayocon "How to talk to girls." Which was flat out hilarious and had some really good advice (for those of you there, don't listen to the one guy. It's not good to build your relationships on lies. Although it was funny when he corrected that he had twelve divorces to ten. XD ). Overall, if I could write out every moment of Ohayocon in full detail I would, but I'm lucky enough to be able to write out this. Hopefully, I'll be able to post a better version (The Extended Edition [Insert epic music here]) later on. I'm hoping that once summer comes along I'll have more time to focus on writing and reviews. I apologize in advance for how rough-draft-ish this post is, and I look forward to fixing that in the Extended edition. Thanks for reading guys! Otaku-kun.
