Last Saturday I went to Anime Los Angeles (ALA) at the Ontario Convention Center. I got there around 10am and spent the first half of my day exploring the exhibit hall, eating food, and taking pictures. Here I am with the Hakuoki display looking very pumpkin-faced and happy. Some of you may already know, but Idea Factory International is going to be releasing a new Hakuoki for the PS Vita with more dateable bachelors! I already pre-ordered the game! There's also going to be a Hakuoki Festival this April. I bought my tickets exactly at 12:00pm when the tickets were released. I was refreshing my phone while on lunch break with much intensity. I wanted to get the Special Lunch Set tickets but they were sold out in literally one minute. I cried in my heart. Then after about six minutes, all the general admission tickets were sold out! I feel lucky to have gotten my tickets on time. But for those who missed the first wave of tickets, they are selling a second batch of general admission tickets here. I think I'm going to do a casual cosplay of Okita (my fav) at the event. Maybe the Sweet School Life version (which I never played but would like to). I'm also going to have HB do either Saitou or Chikage. Now here are some cosplayers I saw con... Isabela from Dragon Age II. She even had the tome! Medli from Windwaker. A sweetie pie Anise from Tales of the Abyss. I looove when I see TOA cosplays. Tidus from Final Fantasy X. Maybe I should have taken the picture somewhere with better lighting ;; but I was already too shy to take his picture lol. HB had to stop him for me. Prompto from Final Fantasy XV. Their costume looked sooo good! I hope mine will end up alright. Another Prompto with a Noctis. I had to chase after them when they were walking past me. I was DYYINNG when I saw the back of the Prompto's vest. And the fishing rod is really cute right?? Dancing FFXV characters. Saix, Roxas, and Axel from Kingdom Hearts. Soma and Erina from Shokugeki no Soma serving free curry. Lunch/snack break with HB, yuqicosplays, and munin742. Yuqi is dressed as Cindy from FFXV. The second half of the day, I dressed up in my Skyrim armor (Because I don't have any new cosplays). I saw lord_gundam cosplaying Fallout. We chatted for a bit. It was nice seeing him again :) I hope to see his Faraam Knight in person one day. And so wraps up my trip! I didn't attend any panels, but I still had a pretty full day. Oh, and this is kind of small but I really liked ALA's badge pick up. It was so fast and easy. I went to Anime California 2016 back in whenever, and badge pick up took soooo long. It was also a little strange because a college fair was sharing the venue with ACA. I probably won't go back to ACA any time soon, but I'll definitely be returning to ALA. (I'll probably give ACA another go later down the line, maybe when it's a little bigger?) Ok, moving on to all the loot I got from ALA. The first was this very adorable shirt I got from Uchuu Summer. I've already worn it a couple times. I want to buy more. A print by parakid. I framed it but haven't put it up on my wall yet. From left to right: Atelier Ayesha Artbook, Yona of the Dawn Vol.3, Tales of the Abyss keychain, Tales of Destiny keychain, and a Tom Nook button. The tales keychains/rubber straps were chance boxes. I was hoping to get TOA and TOX2, but maybe I'll be able to nab the TOX2 another day if I'm lucky.

AboutHi I'm RQ and this is where I blog about my cosplay and daily life.
*I'm taking a break from cosplay.
Looking back at what I wrote in my posts make me cringe, but I'll leave this blog up in case people still want to use my cosplay progress/WIPs as a resource for their own projects. Categories
