Seattle based anime convention, Sakura-Con has announced famed character designer Noizi Ito as a guest. Noizi is best known for her work as the original character designer for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Shakugan no Shana, and various adult PC visual novel games. Sakura-Con 2010 will be held from April 2-4 at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center. Should be interesting to see the fan reactions. Press release inside.
After having returned from Japan, we've finally sorted out all the cosplay photos we took at Comiket 76, day 3. It was pretty hot and humid that day and we like to thank all the cosplayers who allowed us to photgraph them. The only thing we regret is not being to take more! Check them out now in our gallery.
Anime Expo has ended, but that doesn't mean our work has! Day 4 was the wind down day with most cosplayers wearing normal clothing doing last minute bargain shopping. The highlights of the day included the open autograph session where fans were able to get last minute autographs from remaining guests, the Charity Auction where fans can buy expensive signed and autographed goods for a good cause, and of course the Closing Ceremonies. We are working hard on all the interviews and articles relating to Anime Expo, so stay tuned as they should be ready in the next few days!Probably the businest day of the convention, the halls were packed with with people! Nightow unvieled a short clip of the new Trigun movie at his panel showing off new characters. Towards the evening, we went to the Masquerade and got a chance to visit the sold out Anime Expo Maid Cafe. Again, stick around as we will have full reports coming soon!
Day 2 was a bit on the dry side, apart from the Gundam 00 Panel, and the Morning Musume concert.
It's 7:23 AM right now, and staff moral is quite low waking up this early. Saturday is probably the busiest day with the most number of attendees and large events.
Keep checking us out occasionally as we will be live blogging Nightow's panel today who promises to bring a first ever world premiere footage of the new Trigun movie. Full detailed panel reports, interviews, photos, and more are coming soon so stick around!
