8:30 am: i ended up sleeping in a bit (as usual) and was supposed to go with 3 of my friends. 2 of them were already awake but the third also fucked his sleep up and was gonna be a bit, so we went to the nearby tim hortons near the monorail to grab breakfast and wait for him to come by since we all lived a pretty fair walking distance from it. my friend ordered for him and the other and they ended up getting their order jacked by some old asian dude and didnt realize it until after i got my order first before them since he picked up the same order that they placed and i put my order in way after they did.
9:30 am: buddy finally comes by and we head towards the monorail. its about a 50 minute trip to downtown vancouver where the con is but it beats parking.
10:45 am: we're finally here. we go to the con entrance and they give us some cards which we have no idea what they do. love live people will probably get the reference here
saw some cool shit outside the main hall, there was a buddy that had an aladdin costume with a hoverboard that was themed like a magic carpet riding around with abu with aladdin music playing
also saw some gross shit like a nozomi in natsuiro egao cosplay.
anyway time to head to the line.
11:30 am: finally get my pass. that shit was loooong
headed to the first event we could attend kind of, "awesome anime openings".
it was already half way but it was all good, we got just in time when they started showing
"land of the lustrous". the host was talking about how they did such a wonderful job with the CG animations and i agree (looking at CG scenes in like love live is ), even though i never saw the anime. it was my first time seeing that opening and man that was such a beautiful song with such crisp animations. i think ill watch that anime now.
they then showed the opening to
antique bakery which was also really catchy and very unique, the use of paper stills or whatever was really interesting to see. i thought he said it was a comedy about 4 brothers running a store but it was more like a yaoi thing from not brothers so not really my cup of tea. awesome opening though.
by the way, did you guys know
parappa the motha fuckin rappa had an anime? im definitely watching this. it was along the theme of using like stills to animate an op. really groovy shit
12:00 pm: tried lining up for anirevos got talent but we got fucked and it was too full cuz i guess that was the only big thing going on at that time. so we went to browse vendors for a bit. i ended up missing a nico cosplayer because i didnt realize it was her
hot potato outfit (even i lose track of nico's 1000 outfits, she has too many lol). i didnt buy anything but my friends bought some yugioh stuff (crackin get hype)
we also saw some idols practice (it was aquors ) but i guess it was for the 2:00 pm event and it says there's u's in it but i didnt see any nico

oh well, it was probably not worth anyway
1:30 pm: we leave vendors and head to line up at the "walkoff: east vs west". these lines get filled pretty fast and theres only a limited number of seats. now i have no idea what the hell we were in for (nobody did) but it was like a face off between "western cartoons and shit" (i say this because i saw like zarya from overwatch and master chief and april from tmnt) vs real anime (eastern), with inclusion of stuff like fire emblem (i saw an inigo).
it was just really a dance off between the two and was kind of boring tbh. we saw that a sailor moon thing started at 2:30 (one of the three is also a really huge fan like me) so we headed towards that after, but we kind of lost track of time so ended up leaving later than intended
2:50 pm: yes, this was the panel i wanted to see. they were talking about differences in crystal and other shit like the
snes game (shout out to fusoya) and yea he mentioned him, which is really crazy because i think hes more known as the creator of lunar magic, the smw editing tool. anyway he was going over the history of sailor moon and some other stuff from live action which i didnt have really any interest about, but then came the quiz and i was like here we go, i got the big brain for this (you can prob skip this part unless you care about sailor moon):
q1: whats the name of sailor neptune's and uranus' moves that they learn in stars?
a1: i have no fuckin idea, nobody got that one LMAO. it was space sword blaster and submarine reflection respectively. i knew they existed but didnt know they learnt it after
q2: what does hotaru mean in japanese?
a2: super easy, its just firefly. i didnt get called for this one though
q3: whats the name of usagis va in jp?
a3: really easy too, kotono mitsuishi (fun fact: she also voiced nico's mom). i didnt get called for this one either, but what pissed me off was the person that did completely got the name wrong (she said like kagome something like wtf) and got a prize anyway.
q4: which senshi's heart crystal was stolen first?
a4: i forgot this one too lmao. i know venus was last cuz she was jealous of everyone for losing theirs and she thought she didnt have one. the answer was rei i think.
q5: what was the name of the snes rpg?
a5: he literally just said it which was "another story". i got called for this one and was pretty hyped to see the prizes. they were mostly just like postcards and pencils but i still think it was pretty cool. here's what i got:
3:30 pm: went to line up for the anirevo's got talent auditions for the big event on the final day so judges could score them. there were contestants that sang a buncha songs, some famous and not. the ones i recognized were "cruel angel's thesis" by some dude who made it sound bad, "storm in lover" by some high pitched girl (sorry snack), and thats really about it. they were really wannabe singers (i saw a ruby kurosawa cosplayer sing one of the aquors songs, gross) and idk it was whatever. during 5ish we saw richard ian cox was having a variety show and went to line for that
5:30 pm: saw my boy big rich in the house. really funny dude, was talking about his roles in inuyasha and did a few lines as him in character which was really cool to see. he was also cast as being ian as the main character for people who remember that (again probably canadians) so i was like waow this guy did a lot of shit. hes been still working on new cartoons and was just talking about that and told us to check a few out, i only remember
supernoobs so maybe ill peep it but probably not im not really a fan of cartoons lol. also i didnt know he lived like, 20 min away from my house lol, that was pretty cool to know. i dont know him much aside from inuyasha but it was an entertaining panel nonetheless.
he had a q&a sort of panel too where people asked him shit like would he voice goku in the new ocean dub (he had no comment), voice line requests, and other stuff. the one question (or i guess request) i remember the most was this cringy fuckin dude went up and he was like "if you could play inuyasha in a mlp crossover with rick and morty[...]how would the voices sound like?" and already in the first part im like what in the fuck fantasy do you have boy like wow that was just the most randomest thing and ian was sitting there like idk what ur talking about my dude so he tried to wing a scenario in but it was so funny seeing him do it cuz he was just like confused lol
my friend also asked him which girl he preferred, kikyo or kagome, and he said both. fuk u ian everyone knows the sacred rule 1 waifu per person. that was really it i guess. we didnt eat lunch so we were starving, so off we go to get food after that
6:30 pm: finally grab some fukin food, we didnt eat lunch lol. hopped around a few ramen spots and finally found one where the line wasnt like 40 minutes to get in. enjoy my gross picture of half eaten takoyaki and chicken ramen
9:00 pm: went to that 70's dating game, it was kind of entertaining. basically you have one contestent blindfolded sitting looking at the audience, and then they blindfold you and bring up 4 other peeps from the audience to sit behind the one person so they cant see you. you ask them questions and then they answer with a mic and you decide which one youd date. there was some shit like a dinosaur who couldnt talk and a master chief who had to eat a taco with his helmet on. oh and since it was an 18+ event they also had you do shit like dance sexually with a pool noodle (dont ask, i have no idea either). i dunno, really random shit. i dont have anything from that unfortunately
10:00 pm: theres nothing really good left. one of my friends
REALLY wanted to check out yaoi bedtime stories, so we were like sure why not for the memes. some girl jsut started reading manga off her tablet and narrating it i guess with 2 other people. it was something like, there was a boy at home and some delivery man kept coming to deliver a package to them, and then he really wanted to see his package, and that was the point where we were like lets go, but two of my friends were like its getting to the best part lol, so they stayed and me and another buddy went to check out "anime figures q&a".
10:15 pm: we got there. we saw a slideshow of anime figures. that was literally it. we left.
10:20 pm: came to pick those losers up and said we should line up for the hentai dubbing (
). chilled for about 40 min i guess
11:00 pm: went to the hentai dubbing. they showed hentai. we watched hentai with a group of like 100 people. that was sure a scene. it was some futanari shit (google what that if ur 18+) and im not really gonna go too in depth i guess but people were really into it and the dubbers really sucked lol, it was like some middle school humour. we decided to dip after that.
1:00 am: finally got home, what a day. we gotta get up soon. i think i just ended off the day playing dota or fortnite or something and slept around 3ish
