So, today I went to AnimeNext with . I was Rika, from Digimon Tamers, and she was L. We also met up with (Light) and (Ritsuka). It was such a fun convention! L and I spent most of our time with the Hetalia cosplayers (and there were a lot) outside. They acted like their characters, and acted out Yaoi pairings (those were quite amusing). However, so many characters from that series have blond hair, I kept forgetting who was dressed as what character. Must look them up...and watch the series. 'Cause it's adorable.

While I was at the con, I even met up with a Kari, TK, and Wizardmon (idk their DA accounts). What was really funny was how every time they were posing for a group picture, I somehow, coincidentally, walked by, and got in the photo with them. This happened like three or four times! They said I was magical (for finding them) XD.

Now, on to the other fun part of the convention. The merchandise.

There was an enormous dealer room, from which I bought a Mokona backpack. It was cute, functional, and can be used for the Fai cosplay which I shall do...one day.

The majority of the things I bought were from the Artists' Alley.

I got several key chains, including China, England, Korea, and Italy from Hetalia, as well as a Death the Kid key chain. All were so adorable!

Then, I found more Hetalia awesomeness in the form of....trading cards! Well, they weren't actual trading cards, just images of the characters in front of their country's flag. But they were adorable as well, and I couldn't resist buying some (I got China, Korea, England, France, Italy, and Japan).

I'm totally getting on the Hetalia bandwagon now.......


In other news, I plan to do several cosplays next year, including, Fai from Tsubasa, Max from Maximum Ride, and China from Hetalia, not necessarily in that order. Also, expect more art over the summer, since I will have loads of free time.
