Not a reptile convention but still fun!!

Hooked for life!!
So tomorrow/today (3am right now..lol) starts AnimeNext of 2008..and for the first time I am going with a cosplay costume...I'm going to be Misa from "Death Note"...for anyone on here that is an anime fan..You should know what I'm talking about..for those of you who are not..here is the quick rundown...

(Anime is short for Japanese animation, basiclly mature japanese cartoons. Various places hold conventions every year where anime fans can go and cosplay as their favorite characters from various anime shows, movies, and even games..They can also enter contests held there such as best costume, music video competitions and video game competitions. There are also mangas which are anime comic books that are sold there and also artist areas where people who draw anime as either a hobby/job/just for fun..can go and sell their artwork..)

Death Note is an anime about a kid that finds a book that a god of death drops intentionally cause he is bored and wants to see what fun can be had of it..Light Yagami finds the book, reads the rules (If a person's name is written in the death note, that person will die)...So Light starts to kill all the criminals of the world, His enemy is "L" a private investigator that has always solved the most hardest of cases..Japan wants to know why are criminals dying and "L" is chosen to figure it out. Misa is Light's girlfirend in the show and Kira's (the name given to Light by his admirers) number one fan and lover.

So yes..I am going as Misa..I will be taking pics and will post them when I get the chance..but the convention is 3 days long so I'm not sure when I'll be back on to get em up.. Sorry if this thread has bored anyone to death..but I just figured I would mention it for those who may know what I am referring to..Well talk to everyone later and hopefully I'll have some pics..heheh

As a side note....I can not polish my nails for the life of me...Tonight was my first time ever..and I look like I just killed someone...lol
 
Very cool! Have bundles and bundles of fun!
I would love to go one year is Inu Yasha. I have cosplayed as Ruroni Kenshin, though.
 
MISA-CHAN! At fanime, I probably saw 100 misa's XD. You gotta show a picture! I only have a lolita costume right now, but as soon as I get a job I plan on putting together a good cosplay, still deciding on what though!
 
I love death note. its a great anime. I have a lot of the merchandise from that show, including the RAH action figures. I really try to avoid anime conventions, though. I spend 99% of my time in the dealer's room maxing out my credit cards. ;)
 
ahh, I've seen a few episodes. My friend is a big anime fan, it's one of his favorites.

I've been to a few geek-fandom cons, but never an anime one. I did agree to cos-playing a sailor scout (mercury is the one they wanted me to play) after I had a few too many drinks at this one party. I haven't decided if I'm going to go through with it. My tolerance for being humiliated is rather high, and it might be fun. Except for the fact a 26 year old has no business trying to pass for a highschool student.
 
Alright well I'm back from AnimeNEXT and I had a great time!! I got quite a bit of photos so I'm only gonna post the ones I think deserve to be posted..I'll also give you guys a link to a slide show I made if you want to see the other pics..Well here are some pics I took from anime next! I'm the girl in most of the pics..lol..
