Coming out of post-con hibernation for a bit to start making posts. (Also good morning to the EDT time zone.
)
Anime Boston was a lot of fun! It's been 10 years since I started going to AB, and the con still holds a special place in my heart. Last year was the first time I cosplayed Yohane, which has led to a year of fun and happiness as I've met so many great people in the local cosplay and idol communities. This year, I did way more with cosplay than ever before, and while I'm really eager to improve a lot of things, I'm also pretty proud of what I've done (and proud of the fact that I'm now dissatisfied with things that are far better than my best from a year ago.)
Some event highlights for me:
-The Queen Bee concert on Friday. Avu-chan is an incredibly talented vocalist, and this comes through even better live
-The idol showcase. Every group really showed their stuff. So many incredible performances, I really love watching and cheering for all the groups here.
-An excellent panel on plus-sized cosplay, with both broader perspectives on inclusivity and some great practical tips.
First cosplay pic post, I was gonna be Maki for day 0 but I was late coming out of work and forgot my wig.
Still took a pic with it on back home though.
