Animatsuri 2014

Hi there!
It’s been a long time since my last post – but there’s an explanation for that. I’ve been busy with my studies, work… and going through the photos from Yakuza themed Animatsuri 2014 A&M convention. It took me over 3 weeks to process just the regular ones :/ $deity! A sad record.
As for the convention itself… The organization was quite good, I cannot say anything bad about it. The merchandise was poor, as usual. Despite the fact that Yatta took almost the entire space on the second floor, the only interesting thing they had was a… shōnen-ai themed artbook (which I bought:P). The attractions… well, I don’t know, because I was constantly taking photos :P I found “my own” fun (^_^) As usual. The main problem was that the weather was rather rainy… so some potential for photos has been wasted and the decision to move the cosplay stage outdoors turned out bad. Not disastrous (thanks to the hard work of the organizers), but still… Some cosplayers were rather angry and my “SuperWhite” background turned “SuperDirty” in no time. Oh, did I tell you that I had my own photostudio? For the first time with a proper background, in a dedicated room, so that I can no longer have any excuses about the equipment. Well, it could be better, but now I’m limited mainly by my skill and time.
Enjoy!

Sessions (three parts)



Cosplay (again, three parts)



Moe Green (a “bonus gallery” :P )


Event & People (two “misc” galleries with everyting else except the photostudio)

BTW >> a colleague of mine – Peter “Tokyo” – has made a short movie (cosplay music video? I think that’s the proper term… it’s his first one, as far as I know…) featuring many of the cosplayers… and me
Animatsuri is HAPPY!
