Zenkaikon

So I spent most of my weekend at Zenkaikon 2012, it was a ton of fun. Great cosplayers, fantastic entertainment, hilarious live events and greedy vendors. Pretty usual stuff for a con. Note though, this wasn't just an anime convention. It's anime, sci-fi, fantasy, etc.. so general nerdy stuff though it was predominantly anime oriented.

So here's some pictures, admittedly the quality on a few of them sucks since (as I found) the range on the iPod camera kind of sucks. Anything more than like 4 feet away starts getting blurry. Also note, I'm not in any of them lol.

Bad Girl from No More Heroes (without blonde wig, caught her at a bad time it seems lol)

Claire Redfield

Sakura from Tsubasa Chronicles. This one took me a few minutes to figure out 100%, mostly because I've never seen it lol.

Alex Mercer from Prototype

Zelda from Skyward Sword

Yoko from Gurren Lagaan

Rikku from FFX-2. You know, the one that didn't happen.

One of my favorites from the event, Barret from 7. This guy was a riot on the Anime Dating Game.

Couldn't have a group of FF cosplayers without Tifa of course.

Lady/Mary from DMC3, the best DMC.

Lilith and Mordecai from Borderlands

Jo from Burst Angel

Definitely surprised to see this one, an amazing Green Ranger!

And for you fighting game fans, Juri from Street Fighter 4

And now for a little on the venue, here's a picture of the main stage set up for the Kyo Daiko Taiko Drummers

Asterplace, easily the best show of the event, coming on stage:

Asterplace singer, with mask. Also note the drummer in the background.

And of course them during the rest of the show. They were pretty awesome, they essentially were the closing act.

Some random shops:

And last but not least, a shit ton of pocky

Again, sorry the quality sucks on some of these. Couldn't find any options or settings for the camera and I didn't know until I was looking at them later that some of them weren't that great. I'll invest in an actual digital camera for future events lol.
