2nd November 2012
So it started a little chaotic but ended fantastic. But let's start from the beginning, shall we?
Right after school, I hurried out of Math class, jumped with Azu into the car and we got driven to the train station where the ticket machine wouldn't work properly first and my mum almost freaked out and made me panic as well. But in the end we did make it on time and yeah... While the German post is really awesome and fast, the "Deutsche Bahn" (German train service whatever) isn't. Due to some stuff with brakes, we were 20 minutes late in the end. But not only that, we also took the bus later in the wrong direction, so all in all, we arrived much later than originally planned and I missed the show group I wanted to see - the reason we instantly took the train after school.
We watched the showgroup that was on stage after them though - a mix of Pokémon and Cinderella. (Ohgoddess, why, the Psyducks danced Gangnam Style. My brain is forever damaged. OTL)
After that we walked a bit around and I was kinda searching for a certain German artist I was fan of. Okay, it was more because of his videos on YouTube, but he is such an awesome personality, really entertaining. He wasn't where he was last year, so I was a little disappointed, but I knew he said he would be there, so I trusted this. And then I almost passed him in the corner where shops had their table. I didn't expect him to be there, so I was in a shock state for a short moment. I decided to go to him the day after that because I forgot some stuff and Hungary-sama, who'd come the day after that, would bring that stuff.
Later we went to the real shopping area (I spotted Christmas gifts etc |3) and also back to the main stage, where some kind of cosplay guessing happened. They got a word and had to act to it - the people were all so cool. After that the opening happened. Wow. It was so amazing. I can't describe it, but it was really awesome. Same for the J-Pop concert of a band called "bless4" after that. Honestly, I dislike J-Pop or any Asian pop at all. Fuck me, all kind of pops. But I don't know, this was really cool, hearing it live and all. I think I'm gonna buy their CD and let it get signed when it's time for that.
That was the last thing we did. Okay, after that we went back to the shopping stuff, looked at some things and had simply fun, but we were tired. Yeah, back at the place we'd stay for the weekend we fall onto the couch and rested and ate a really spicy hot dog. (I'm very, very sensitive for this stuff - my tongue was burning.)
3rd November 2012
Saturday started with a fantastic showgroup. The best showgroup I've seen. Last year they did "Avatar - The last airbender" with tons of awesome effects and this year it was awesome as well. "Sengoku Basara" with awesome weapons and at one point I almost cried even. It was so sad ; - ;
After that we went to meet and get together with Hungary-sama. Like her name says she was in her Hungary (Hetalia) cosplay. Over that day she got into a lot of talks with other cosplayers cause of that. (Kinda makes me proud because I brought her into that scene, ohohoho~) After we met my boss who gave me another manga to review (makes 4 left to reviewif we ignore a forgotten one), we went to buy onigiri with Azu and after that... The moment came. The moment, where we decided to visit the German artist I was a fan of. Hugi. First of all, I bought a book of him I didn't have and then everything started.
"I see you have a very good taste!", he said. It wasn't the first time I heard him
say this to a customer, but still, it amused me. I asked him to sign this and another comic, gave him the other already signed ones so he wouldn't draw the same. And he didn't. After drawing and talking with Hungary-sama about "The Walking Dead", I asked him to sign two photos. It was kinda cute that he showed everything around to the other artists at his table - first his own drawings (which were a year old) and then my photos because there were people from this table in the background. After he signed it in silver I also asked for another photo with him and he stood next to me when Hungary-sama took one of us and... Too bad I can't meet him next year ; - ;
After getting this also done we headed towards the shops. Not only did we buy the birthday/Christmas presents we spotted the day before, we also collected stamps with which we could win tickets for the convention next year. When the day ended, two of them were still missing, but anyway. At 4.15 p.m. we went to another showgroup, but left after 30 minutes already because it was really... bad. That's why we decided to go to the game room. Oh yes, the game room. We went around, saw people playing DDR, beat'em'up games, and every kind of game that was at least a little Japanese. I really felt like home. Fufufu, waiting for the Tekken Tag Tournament 2 contest to start, the three of us played Mario Kart. Long talk short: I won almost all the matches after getting warmed up a little.
As soon as the game (Tekken Tag Tournament 2) was in, we took places and waited for it to load. More and more people started popping up and I made Hungary-sama write her and my name (first she write our embarrrassing full names but luckily she changed it later to our online names) on the list of the participaters. What we didn't know until then: This list was for successors. So we were too fucking late. That didn't matter in the end though: Watching the others playing was entertaining as fuck. Like REALLY exciting and stuff. The atmosphere was really awesome and everyone felt alike. After the tournament finished (...you could win awesome T-Shirts and videogames. So wonderful videogames ; - ; I really hate myself.) Hungary-sama and me played against each other. I fought against her with my favourite characters Alisa and Lars and won most of the time, not always (n00bs and their stupid luck, pfffff), but at least one round when I lost. I kept throwing her with Alisa-chan. She's such a cool character *^* (And sexy although she's a robot |3)
Then we hurried to get back to the main stage to see "bless4" one more time. My boss told me the concert would be even more awesome than the one yesterday was and although I doubted that first, it really was in the end. They sang some more songs than they did the day before. I especially liked that they sang "Cha-la-head-cha-la". They told the audience they were asked that in the press conference so they did. And ohmygoddess, first the sisters did the fusion pose, then all of the siblings did the Ginyu Force pose. It was so freaking epic. In the end, Hungary-sama and me bought the CD. I was unsure until then, but this concert made me want to even more. But that was enough for the day. We took our "taxi" to get back to where we were staying for this weekend. It was almost 11 p.m. when we arrived there and my headache was really bad and I was tired, but I had Internet, so I didn't even think about sleeping yet. Instead I took my time writing with the people I missed over this half passed weekend to which I usually talked daily. MASTER. OUJI-KUN. And Z-nee.
4th November 2012
We started the day once again with a showgroup. They were performing D. Gray-man. The Noah's were so hilarious and in-character. Okay, everyone was more or less in-character, but their actor abilities were not that good. One guy for example looked almost all the time the same although you heard different expressions from his voice. And once again we went to the shops and got more stuff. More presents. (I'll make my brother pay back half of it. I need the money ; 3 ; )
Almost last thing we did this day (yeah, it was rather short ^^;; ) was collecting the last stamps. Since we didn't find them, we asked the people from the booth that was hosting this. Turned out they were almost invisible. But hey, we found them and handed them in before we went back to the stage and watched another - my headache just got worse and worse - showgroup. Can't say much about it, it was okay, but not really my taste.
And that was our last act. We got our bags and headed to the bus station. My headache almost killed me and I was just relieved ro get back home to my people. I missed all of you ; v ;
