Anime Expo 2011

That’s right, folks. Lady Otaku is attending her very first “con” next weekend! I’m very excited, to say the least. I’m looking forward to studying and watching the cosplayers. I’ll definitely be posting the Best and Worst, but I really admire those die-hard fans who take their love for a show and a character way beyond the norm.

I’m not confident to cosplay yet, but if I ever did I would make sure my costume was as close to the original as possible. My cosplay choices? I’ve spent many a night lounging with my fellow otaku friends discussing who and how we would cosplay.

Choice Number One: Rin from InuYasha.
She has always been one of my favorite characters and her costume is very simple. It would be easy and affordable to make a fan-tastic and close to authentic looking costume.

Choice Number Two: Akatsuki
These bad-ass, rogue ninjas from Naruto would be so fun to cosplay! Downside: spending the entire con soaked in sweat. Those cloaks look heavy!

Choice Number Three: Hetalia
I’m not sure which character/country I would cosplay as…I love Hungary’s costume, but I have a soft spot for Austria. Not only would you be by far the most cultured and best dressed, you could get away with walking around acting superior and aristocratic.

Here’s my schedule for AEX 2011:
Otaku Parliamentary Debate
Hetalia History
Inside the Voice Actors Stuido
Uncool Japan: The Trials and Tribulations of Japanese Pop Culture
Researching Anime
Vic Mignogna
Naruto Shippuden: Dreamers Fight Premiere
