Another Con in Ohio



So, I don't know if I am going to cosplay this time around...but then again how could I not?  I don't have the money or the time to create a new cosplay so I will probably just go as Flareon or Tsunade again.  Lame, I know.  Anyway, on the bright side, will be going with a bunch of friends.

I don't know if I will be able to make it.  But I would really like to go as it was the first Anime Convention that I had ever went to (which was a perfect stepping stone for me).  I would like to show my support for a college trying to start up a con.  If I do go I may even dress up in one of my two cosplays that I have done. ^_^

Started Another Anime

I know I haven't updated my Fairy Tail or Katekyō Hitman Reborn.  My main excuse for FT is that I am waiting for the new arc to be done.  Its annoying to watch 22 minutes and then have to wait a week for the next episode.  Though I do find myself chomping at the bits on most days.  KHR is a anime that I found that I have to take in small dosses.  It is just so slow going and has so much wierdness going on that I have to take a break after so many episodes.  I do plan on watching some more soon.  But anyway, a couple days ago I and a couple of my friends decided to have a anime day.  We had been given a list of odd, old, and/or underrated anime at one of the Youmacon panels.  We choose to watch Planetes, which is set in space in the future and the characters that viewer hangs out with are in the Debris Section.  There job being to collect the debris that has collected over the years that Earth has put out there to keep the space stations, shuttles, and new satellites safe. (A full summary from wiki at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetes)   At first I was a bit leery of it since it is not typically the type of anime that I lean towards.  But, nevertheless, I watch it and came to really like it.  It starts off really slow and the main girl character, Ai Tanabe, is pretty annoying with her being a newbie and her ideals on love (she does have her moments though).  This is an anime that you have to watch at least six episodes in before it starts to get interesting.  I am on episode 17 out of the 26 episodes and plan on finishing it soon.  


This is how you meet a main character Hachirota "Hachimaki" Hoshino or 'Hachi.'  And yes, that is a diaper he is wearing.
