Manga Fest '08 ....

Journal Entry: Wed May 7, 2008, 2:01 PM
.... The Good, The Bad & The Downright Awesome!

Well kiddies, Manga Fest '08 has come & gone. To be honest my opinion on this years gathering is mixed. First lets get all the bad karma out of the way (because in all I actually had an awesome time). After last years poor amount of actual manga I'd have thought things could only have got better ... apparently I was mistaken.

There was a serious lack of manga; there was about five stands with only two shelves worth of manga on each and the range of manga they had on offer was shocking (as in there was so little of it!). I managed to get a few I was after though; the next couple of volumes of 'Bleach' I needed, the next four volumes of Deathnote I needed, volume three of 'Black Cat' and the first volume of 'Mars'.

Then there was the fact that they had no new games to show because Nintendo didn't get them shipped out on time. Definate balls up on someones part and it seriously let the side down. To top it all off there was hardly any japanese food this time around and no drinks either! Whoever decided they were going to scale back this year definately needs a good bitch slap.

Annnnnnyway, onto the good stuff. I got to give my 'Captain Jack Harkness' cosplay a field test. Admitidly I didn't get as much attention as I hoped I would but I did get fangirled by one person! I know, I'm sad for being amused by that but I've /never/ been fangirled so that made the whole night worth while. Plus I got to chat with some of the other cosplayers which was good fun. One of the Fest people got photos of all the cosplayers so should hopefully have a couple of shots of my outfit in the next few days.

Plus I entered the cosplay contest! My first cosplay contest! Sure I lost out to a Naruto cosplayer but it was good fun none the less. Plus all the cosplayers got a free pack of pocky .... and lets face it, free pocky is the best kind of pocky!

So yeah, all in all it was a good laugh. Could've been better mind you but then again could've been a lot worse. I'm totally ready for the London Expo now! Bring it on!

xoxo
