Anime NebrasKon

Okay so I was going to do a Harold and Kumar in 3D review, but I just wasn't feeling it.  Long story short its good, better than the 2nd, not as good as the first and the 3D is worth it, mainly because they go over the top and it defines the movie but not in a preachy Avatar sort of way.  If you want to hear more feel free to leave a comment or shoot me an email at moldbreakerz@gmail.com and we can talk.

But at any rate, this past weekend was a big weekend for me, well kinda.  This past weekend was my first anime convention.  And let me tell you it was a blast.  I've never had so much fun or felt so relaxed at the same time, despite standing in combat boots for almost 18 hours a day.  I really did enjoy it, and I got some great pictures too.

He's Dr. Roxxo and he does cocaine.

So I know what some people might think: "Oh, an Anime convention, what a nerd.  That's not cool, I'm never gonna do that".  That is completely 1000% not the case.  I have never meet a more accepting group of people than I did at the convention.  Everyone was very nice, courteous, and the best part is we all had something in common from the moment we stepped foot inside the door.

Not to mention the fact that some of the panels were absolutely hilarious.  Friday night we went to one called The Organ Trail, yes I do mean Organ and not Oregon, which was a zombie version of The Oregon Trail.  The panel was originally supposed to be a live action game but due to complications it turned into an audience wide team playing the computer game.  Great times were had from killing off Snookie, to seeing Derp the zombie be the only other survivor on our great cross country trip.  There was also Cosplay Chess, a Dating Auction, a Zelda panel, and even a panel devoted to flaming peoples favorite Anime.  And panels weren't the only thing that was going on there either.

That's a big hammer.

Saturday night  there was the cosplay competition.  This was where con-goers, who choose to, could enter in their costumes to compete with other con-goers for fabulous prizes.  There were a lot of fantastic costumes in a lot of interesting categories from just costume, swimsuit, skit, stage performance, and even the judges choice.  Then on Sunday morning came the AMV contest, which I regretfully did not go to, even though I heard it was hilarious.

Nebraskon hosted a plethora of great guests as well, everyone from Keith Silverstein, Starrk in Bleach and Shen in League of Legends (also got his autograph), to Chris Sabat, Vegeta in Dragon Ball Z, and even Stephanie Young, Nico Robin in One Piece.  An all star cast that was truly unique and hosted a great number of interesting panels, which I regret that I could not go to, oh well, next year.  Its a great way for both them to meet their fans and their fans to meet their favorite voices.

The Champ!

Other random events took place, along with random shouts and random acts of random.  Like the people dressed as the duo from Adventure Time running through the hallways yelling "What time is it?"  That and even the giant duct tape amoeba shouting "One of us", "I choose Cthulhu", and "Joooiiinnnn ussss".

In addition to this I got a ton of amazing photos which I've posted on both facebook and on imgur.  I'll throw some links down below.  All in all it was a great time from all the people dressed as ponies, to the cosplay chess, the old spice man, and even the Nerdtron raves on both Friday and Saturday nights.  Speaking of Nerdtron they're having their own convention and they do what the do for a great cause, check em out at: http://nerdtron.net/

Ponies.

So to all of those who went I'll see you there again next year, if not at another convention I go to, which I'll post here.  So kids, till next time.
