Anime Expo 2014

I finished my Princess Serenity. Yay! I wore it for Anime Expo 2014 and the Sailor Moon tribute art show this past week. Woo. (Tribute art show on another blog post!)  I want to mention as well, this is the first time since 2008 that I've been to Anime Expo. I stopped caring about watching anime, but because of the Sailor Moon Reboot, I decided to go once again.

Anime expo. (AX)

I went to AX with Angelica. I got up and ready at home. I went to pick her up at around 10:15am. We got to the convention center around 11am. We waited about and hour and a half to get in and to buy out tickets for the day. I haven't been to AX since 2007-2008 (not sure.) A long while. The lines for pre-registration were insane. AX needs to figure out a better way to organize their expo. But aside from that, we met up with Dana and went towards a panel I wanted to see a panel. Dana went her own way to a Para Para dancing course. All along the way people kept asking for pictures and I said. Angelica and I waited in line for our panel and after a bit we found out it was cancelled. The only panel I kinda wanted to go.




After that we decided to go to the exhibit hall to look around and maybe shop for a bit.  Angelica went crazy for plushies and there were so many as well. We ended up doing a Sailor Moon scavenger hunt and went all over the place getting stamps. We ended up getting a Sailor Moon coin (in honor of the premiere of the remake) for finishing our quest. This took place at the Viz booth. They were giving out free bags with purchase of any of their items. One of the bags was a Sailor Moon bag. I had to get it. I bought a bleach shirt and got my bag. Yay! I also found an MLP toy. It was priced for $10 dollars. I had to get it. The employee from the store I got it from said his boss had originally priced at $50. Haha. Well good thing I found this pony, Fun Fairy.

Pony! :-D

We kept exploring the exhibit hall and we ended up coming up to the Toy Mandala booth. I saw Keith first and then Dustin. So I went over to say hi. We kept walking and people kept stopping me for pictures. Haha. We finally looked around at all the artist alley stuff but didn't look at everything. We finally decided to leave around 5pm.



A little bit of traffic going home but we still made it through. I dropped off Angelica and I finally went home. No one was home so I took a few pics with my cat, Serenity with my Princess Serenity outfit. So that was it. That's Anime expo. We'll see what happens for next year.


My cat Serenity is sneaky. She's at the bottom left corner.
