Anime Expo 2008 YouTube version

[sameltoes]

This looks awesome and hilarious at the same time. The little skinny Jaraiya?! Hahahahaha XD I love it! And The Laughing Man?! WTF?! Sweet! I live in a po'dunk Southeast Missouri town so closest anything even remotely like this would prolly have to be in St. Loui or Memphis.....hmmmm I might have to do some investigating. Thanks for posting vid...

[SycoTik]

My pleasure, I'll be making another one this year. 2 more weeks! :D

[mmmhhh08]

i would love to go to one of these lol but just dont have the opportunity to go .... any of these near or close to maryland lol

[randomassbass]

Always wanted to go to an anime convention since I was like 11, but never got to, even when there was a few in my city >:L

What's it like? Is it like BOOM a lot of people?

Do people "glomp" you a lot? That's annoying

[SycoTik]

I personally hope to get "glomped" alot, love the attention. ^o^() But yeah, it's like BOOM alot of people in there, alot of cosplaying and it's just fun in my opinion. It CAN be enjoyable if you don't have alot of money and just wanna go for specific stuff but I highly recommend the 4day pass, staying with a group at the hotels available specifically for AX and extra cash for food and stuff ya wanna buy. It's just an awesome experience to be at AX.

[almaTHEillest]

me and my boyfriend are cosplaying as Haruhi and Kyon this year

and hopefully be performing in the Masquerade :D see you there!

[SycoTik]

LOL, nice and yea I'll definately will be there even though I haven't bout my ticket yet, I'll be there for sure.  This is traditional for me now and I hope to either go as Near or Melo from Death Note.

[TheBebopKid]

Hope to see you this year! lol, I'm coming all the way from Colorado in a 94' Explorer... I'll be an Umbrella soldier and a few other things.

[SycoTik]

Sweet! I wanna try to get a chance to meet everyone I've talked to online if possible. I'll be Nate "Near" Rivers from Death Note and I

HOPE to be The Laughing Man from Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C 1st Gig. Dunno what else I'll be but I'm thinking.

[TheBebopKid]

Alright, I've got no problems with meeting up at some point. I just need to confirm that I can actually have enough saved up to go this year.

[XxDragonxHeartsxX]

[SycoTik]

[XxDragonxHeartsxX]

[KrazekKree]

[KrazekKree]

I went to 2007 AX as the third hokage

this year im going as a Umbrella Corp soldier. basically with everything, i know its not anime but it jsut came to me :)

[SycoTik]

It's cool dude. There are people who cosplay as Resident Evil characters. Doesn't have to be anime. :p

[KrazekKree]

true, saw some of em, dam cant believe i missed out on 08 :(

[KrazekKree]

Hey! love the video. just want to ask, whats the name of the first song?

And im going to AX 2009 :D.

as a cosplayer

[SycoTik]

who are you cosplaying as.  And the song is from the anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann called "Sorairo Days" by Shoko Nakagawa. It's the opening theme. ^_^ Thankies.

[marianna91692]

[SycoTik]

Yep ^_^ I was there last year for two nights. Bought me some raver lights too :D I'll give ya my myspace addy if ya wanna keep in contact.

[marianna91692]

[SycoTik]

Coolies, I see ya :p

[CrossSword341]

I like 4:28

[SycoTik]

I did too :D

[Temajuki]

Just wondering, but do I have to be a certain age to get in? I'm thinking about going this year but it seems that most people there are 16+....

[SycoTik]

I don't think you do. Highly doubtful in fact but if you are not sure then check out the website. Just google anime expo and the first link will be the site. It should explain it all but I don't think there is an age limit to attend. I've seen younger there.

[Temajuki]

Ok thanks

[aizenchocolate]

lol wooot for RAnka!!!! thx for the awesome slideshow! I wish i could've been there!

[SycoTik]

There is always this year. I still need to buy my ticket online for all 4 days. :D

[ColonelDBoy]

lol i found myself again as "FREE SAMPLE MAN" but i will back this year as a mecha verison of my costume and im going to join the cosplay costume as well hehe

[SycoTik]

O_O!!!! dammit I hit the spam button by mistake!!! -growls- I wanted to comment back saying that I loved the costume you did, it's was pretty original and funny. Surprised security said something, I don't know why they would really.

[ColonelDBoy]

well basically the stupid AX staff member told me to take off my sign off so i told them fuck off and i just keep walking hehe yea like i said im going to join the AX 09 cosplay costume and i hope to see you there as well ^^

[SycoTik]

lol, I seriously hate that "no sign" rule. I was wearing a paperbag over my head with the words "GLOMP ME" on the back on Day 4. Security all came and flanked me saying I need to take it off or I'll be kicked from AX. Buncha bullshit I swear. I still kept the bag and put it inside my sweatshirt, opening it everytime I wanted a glomp. Ahh, this year will be even better I'm sure. ^_^

[ColonelDBoy]

yea if i sign said "glomp me girls no fags" lol

[SycoTik]

lol, ah well. I'm pretty secure with my manhood, as long as the dude isn't rubbing against me it's cool. I'm not gonna give the Yaoi loving girls something to look at dammit! Especially since I plan on cosplaying as Near this year. I seen some scary stuff between L and Light last year at the gathering. O_O!

[ColonelDBoy]

yea nooo yaoi love for girls but i do love those yuri because god created yuri not yaoi because yaoi was created by the devil well like i said im thinking dress richter belmont, chris redfield but the resident evil 5 verison and the mecha free sample man is a must =D also yea the security are dick heads it wasnt like that on anime expo 2006 shit...i had a sign said "kiss kaidoh and hug" " no guys" and a lot of girls kiss me and hug lol

[hashi3010]

i missed so much when i went in 08 i just bought alot of stuff and watch alot of anime, but when i go this year im gonna do everything and cosplay as a heartless from kingdom hearts

[SycoTik]

I'll be looking forward to taking your picture then. :D
