Aaaah, more fun with Animazement! I definitely think there are more people here than there were last year. A lot more. It was pretty darn crowded, making maneuvering an interesting experience.
Particularly interesting costumes include: A herd of Katamari Damacy relatives, a couple of Jack Sparrows (including one carrying a compass and doing a very good Jack Sparrow-walk), the ever-present walking Pocky boxes, and a Tetris piece. Sadly, the Pimp Daddy Shopping Cart did not make an appearance this year, at least as far as I could tell.
And of course, there was the musical, which was once again awesome. Featuring the adventures of several JETs in Japan (including one that didn't speak any English, and one that looked like she had the makings of a Yakuza boss), it was a good ol' show with some really spiffy writing. And once again, there was a certain
dragon_god_jc in it who didn't tell me that he was. Geez. :p And since we got in early, we got to watch the Plushie Puppetry Preshow antics. Also known as: cameramen testing their equipment, and having fun with the audience members, who held up their newly-acquired plushies for them and did little dances and whatnot. It was rather cute. ^_^
Speaking of acquisitions, including the Kumagoro plushie I got yesterday, I ended up getting a couple Sailor Moon wall scrolls, a few pins to add to my growing collection (including a pixelated old school Mario pin), and a "My Little Cthulhu" t-shirt, complete with hearts and rainbows. And, Eien-chan surprised the hell out of me (despite the fact that I ended up stumbling across him getting them for me, but that didn't really ruin the surprise for me) by getting me not one, not two, but all three of the Please Save My Earth artbooks. He made me positively wriggle with joy over that, particularly since I wasn't expecting it at all. ^_^
You can't have him. He's mine. ^_^
I've decided I want to get one more shirt tomorrow. The question is, do I want to get a Trogdor shirt, or do I want to get a Fruity Oaty Bar shirt? I'm currently leaning towards the latter, because I think it would be fun to walk around and see how many people actually get the Serenity reference. ^_^;
