The Animeroot crew rolled out and arrived at the DTC around late morning on Friday. The first thing that we noticed was that the hotel parking lot was already piling up at 10:30AM. After sorting a few minor issues with our rooms, we collected our badges and setup HQ in the rooms.
The first event on our list was Opening Ceremonies which left us with some time to kill, we decided to troll for photos of the cosplayers before finally hitting the dealers room. Zion, Crash and myself picked up a few items. One of the items Zion picked up being particularly interesting in the sense that it was a figure with fuzzy ears and a tail. Zion might make a quick review about this sometime.
Once it neared time for the Opening Ceremony we headed over to erect the audio/video setup as well as take a few still photos. Overall, I think the Opening Ceremony was
rather informative as to who the guests were, especially since we have a few first time con-goers in our group this year.
There were also some big announcements made, the main one being that there is a NDK New Years Costume Ball planned. If this will be a classic “Mask and Tux/Dress” ball or a Cosplay ball it isn’t really certain but we have a feeling it is going to be leaning more towards the cosplay type. Closely followed by Opening Ceremonies was Miki Nagasawa’s Panel. At the request of the guest no audio/video recording was allowed at the panel, however a few pictures are available in the gallery.
