These are in no particular order and are chosen with personal taste, so please, I do not mean to offend anyone.

Hit the break to see my personal top 5 cosplays from FanimeCon 2012!

Otaku Spotlight: My Experience at FanimeCon 2012

I have only been to one other Anime convention (well, two I guess if you count PMX), and I can say that Fanime was as fun if not better than Anime Expo. Anime Expo is a big convention but Fanime was pretty intimate. This was my first time at this convention and my experience was quite exhilarating.

“Hi 5” with Mark DeVera from VIZ Media!

Mark DeVera works as the publishing sales coordinator at VIZ. His responsibility, along with his team, are to deal with print publishing. Print and digital publishing are two separate entities. His team is responsible for basically getting the physical content into stores.

Watch on to see and hear about how Mark got into the industry and find out how quirky we can be.

We hope you enjoy our first video ‘Hi 5’. It’s unscripted and raw and straight from this past weekend’s FanimeCon. Make sure to change the quality to 720p for maximum quality.

Thank You, FanimeCon 2012!

Well, that’s it friends, that concludes all of our official Fanime coverage for this year. (We’ll have some segments related to Fanime in the coming days.) Mike and I had a lot of fun covering it for you and for those who went, we hope you had a great time. If you couldn’t go this year, hopefully this video will help some. (Be sure to change the quality.)

Thanks again, FanimeCon! We’ll see you next year!

FanimeCon 2012: Day 3 Cosplays

Here are the final batch of photos taken of terrific cosplays on our last day at FanimeCon.

Sorry it took awhile, folks. Day 3 was spent mostly on getting as much snaptures of those great cosplays. Editing took a bit since many photos were taken, plus Facebook was having some technical difficulties with their uploader. We were only able to upload five at a time but go-fig that the uploader started working at the last 20 photos. -_-

Anyways, check out some more cosplay photos after the break.
