Epitanime XVI convention
It was my second time that I went to a foreign country to participate.
The event was wonderful, it is the first time that I see a big, well organized one only for Anime/manga fans!! ^_^
The French people were very kind (cosplayers, employees and the crowd) and the level of the contest is higher than here in Belgium.
Some costumes were amazing and very accurate (detailed) and other ones were sexy.
It also flattered me to see that there were cosplayers older than 22.
Unfortunately I had to leave the con Saturday evening because I had to catch my train.
I wanted to stay and see the nocturne and also Sunday… *snif*
My Saber was popular but I did not expect thàt much!
I was surprised that I won 2 times and that there were so many photographers!
There were 40 participants but 2 cancelled their entry.
The dêpot vente was actually a good idea!
Only sad that there was only one computer for registering the items and selling them …
I had a wonderful time and my mom too.
Next year we will definitely go those 2 days!! ^_^
Hopefully I will have more time to finally talk to more cosplayers!
In Belgium we do not have a con like this, definitely not on that scale! =(
At times like this I realize that my country is still falling behind when it comes to cosplay/conventions.
Although they are making every year more and more cons and you see more cosplayers.
It seems like it is getting popular but my country still needs to grow and learn a lot.
I am glad that I went and this event will definitly be one of my favorite memories!
