HJU - ACEN 2009

^ oh yes, please do.

Seconding this! <3

Ah, alright, I have good news, and bad news of sorts.

Good News-
Here is the Den-O doujin I picked up at Acen:
WARNING It's, well, YAOI doujisnhi, so... don't download it if you don't want it?

The title confused me for a little while but I think it was meant to be Canta Per Me, which translates to Sing For Me in Italian and is the title of a song. I added the English and Italian Lyrics into the readme file of the smaller file. I'm also sort of amused by how they are all possessing Ryoutarou, not an Imagin in site. Poor fellow, he's going to be sore when he wakes up.

Bad News-
I'm in the middle of moving to a different state, and after a search, it seems my doujins are something I have already packed up and sent ahead, so scanning those will have to wait two weeks until finals are over and I'm able to move myself to where my belongings are. But here are the others that I have, sorry for the great MS Paint meets touchpad quality of this image:


Hidenori is a badass. The only man to appear in Sentai, Rider, Metal Heroes, and Ultraman.

As shougo said "Hidenori has been to all 4 corners of the toku world".
:thumbs:
And the man sings and was in a BL movie too, such a busy fellow.

While I wasn't a fan, here at HJU... like whatever you like. If we give you stuffnjunk for liking it, it's just in jest. I hate Den-O, but will always love that people love it.

Were you the girl Kamen Rider I met?
Ah, yes I was the girl Kamen Rider 2 that you met. I guess people weren't expecting a female Rider because I had a drunk man come up to me and tell me "Duuuuuuude you have the girliest hips!" I wasn't really sure what to say to that. Nice to meet you though! And, well, I do like what I like so I'll get along just fine I think.

While it's true yours weren't AS good, for less than a week of work, they were DAMN good.
Ah, thank you! It was our first time doing anything Toku related and for Ichigo it was the first thing he had ever sewn, so I was proud of him for that. We'll start earlier for next year, that we have learned.
 
Yves - Your doujinshi make me very happy. <3 I'm going to be looking for some toku and sentai ones starting in August. Muwahaha~
 
Wow, so yeah - still not 100% recovered and just dreading going back to work tomorrow. But ACEN was f'n awesome. It was great meeting all of you. Been going to cons for a few years so the 8 hour car ride Friday was nothing, but it felt good to finally get there. It was slightly odd because for the first year like, ever? My group arrived on Friday yet still got into the parking garage - and at 10am was able to check right into our room.

Usually we're waiting around till at least 1pm to check in. So we were a little put off by being able to get showered and ready to go by noon when we usually hit the con floor about 4 or 5 Friday evening. But this was a theme that stayed the entire weekend, even Keith brought it up at one point. Anyone else notice? Especially Saturday night it just seemed slow, not that many people around late at night like usual. I'm interested in the final count for the weekend, have they posted it yet?

Anyways, rocking Hiroto Friday - briefly passed a Go-On red and figured that would be all I saw for the weekend, I'm used to cosplaying things no one's heard of. But I'm glad I was wrong. I think this ACEN alone I got my picture taken more then all my other cons combined.

Speaking of pics, we only took a few. That's kinda my downside at these cons, I wish I remembered to take more.. but by the time I get there it's just all about the drinking and hanging out - I forget too easily.

[hide]

One of my roommates, who can never take a good pic to save his life, shows off our supplies for Friday night.



Now this is what I'm talking about, anyone who has been to ACEN before knows - this is absolutely unheard of for Friday afternoon - this is the registration line. You know? The 7 hour line that usually stretchs outside around the building? Yeah.

[/hide]

And I now realize, even I, did not get pics of myself as Kick Hopper. lol. Even tho I was only in it Sat afternoon and then changed after the photo op outside the toku panel. One part an actual call to see Hiroto again, one part the Yaguruma costume is heavy and sweaty as hell and those boots eat your ankles.

But luckily that's why I have all you great heroes.. with much better camera skills then I. There are tons of pics on Facebook and whatnot, so thanks guys for sharing!

Hrm, what else? Well, much like last year I didn't find much in the dealer's room I wanted. Was only after the Vinyl V3 figure I saw @ Detour but bought Rider 2 instead - but alas one of you got to it before me. However, spent about $100 @ Mitsuwa.

[hide]

Got these cool little rider belts. And my customary stack of mags..



Had some cool little tidbits. Those chibi stickers are too adorable. And an ad for some cute hoodies, but unfortunately I'm sure they don't come in adult sizes. I thinks me may have to commission a custom one or two. Too cute.



Came with a few extras, some DVD I haven't checked out yet, some cool cardboard masks. I dunno why, they're cheap entertainment for five year olds - but that Diend one looks too cool.



.. and a Decade card! For that Ganbaride game it seems, tho not sure what the card would do.



Also this inflatable Shinken sword and bag with the Shinkengers on it to attack.

And probably my favorite extra...



A big cardboard cutout of Shinken Red's sword. Of course, it seems to lack instructions, I'll have to try and figure this out at some point.[/hide]

Now I'm just flipping through and deciding what pages to cut out and put on the wall. My desk area is slowly becoming all Gackt, Decade, and the Shinken Guys.

But I met a ton of cool people. Finally got to meet Keith, had a blast. We need to go to more of the same cons. Met probably one of the coolest persons ever - Emily. Glad to be her friend, and the the GunpeiXHiroto photos were fun.

Shoulda taken more tho, instead of nervously putting it off until 3am when we were dead tired and just quickly taking a few. heh. We couldn't keep from laughing, it was great.

But yeah, had a f'n blast.. I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention some stuff and some people. sorry... but I was fairly drunk all weekend.

Oh and I found out why I had flu symptoms before we left last week and why I lost my voice so quick Friday? Laryngitis. Kept telling people "I don't usually squeak like this". lol. 'Course.. Alcohol and smoke make it worse - way to spend my weekend.

But yeah.. I'm gonna stop rambling. We have to do it again next year, all of us... and that means coming back from Japan for it Emily! *huggle*

EDIT: and Yves - like I told you guys @ the con, your costumes were awesome, especially for the short notice. I'll take a "crappy" homemade costume with a lot of love and effort put in over an expensive bought costume any day.

EDIT2: And after some convo's on our jackets and whatnot, I'm thinking my next purchase will be Shinken Red's.

^ I realize how ironic those last two statements sound next to each other, but you do need to put together the rest of the costume besides purchasing the jackets ;p

I'm always on the look out for more! If only more places stocked them, ah well. I'll take what I can get.

Dami-chan, I can't possibly quote all that but, as for pictures of you as the Kick Hopper, my friends still haven't given me their pictures yet, so you can be sure there are even more coming. I think they have more or the Go-onger group as well.

You go to Detour? I missed it this year because they were sold out before I had a chance to register, and I was really bummed. That's a nice Rider 2 figure though, and looking at it has made me realize I was henshining backwards all weekend. Whoops. Also, nice Rei... and I like that plushie too. I'm now curious to see the rest of your stash. Hope you are feeling better!

As for next year, both my Ichigo and I were wondering if there wouldn't be a group or something, maybe we could coordinate?

Thanks on the costumes though. It was a learning experience if nothing else, and (hopefully) we have nowhere to go but up!

Looks like most of the people I met up with post here, so that's nice to know. Talking at conventions is fun, but longer term contact is nice too.
 
Omg!!!!! Dami-chan your icon and sig are amazing~ Ahahahahaha~ Do you want me to upload the full sized versions in a .rar? We'll have to try to somehow do another shoot again. ffffff come to Colossalcon. XDDD!!! My friend wants to cosplay Miu so we can totally have a shot of her being all "OMG ONIISAN!!!!!"

I wish I could come back from Japan for the con next year but I really don't think I'll be able to ;_____; You should come chill with me in Japan!!!!!! I'll be living 40min outside Tokyo~ You could stay at my freaking tiny ass apartment!!! lol!!!

Anyways, I just translated that doujin Yves so kindly uploaded. It was actually a really easy translation. O.o I did the HQ copy of it though, I hope no one preferred the smaller one. >.>

So here's the translated version of the Canta Per Me Doujinshi!! Enjoy!!

I wish I could make it to Colossalcon, I really do. But it's just such short notice and I have to recover financially before AnimeIowa in August. And I would totally kill to go to Japan. It's nice to know I'll have a friend there if I ever come into some money. I'll so hit you up on that offer some day, you can't get out of it now :P

Glad you like the set :sweat:

Thanks for the well wishes Yves, no real change but I hear a case of laryngitis can last up to three weeks >__<. And me with no doctor or insurance. Just drinking some tea and trying to talk a little less for now.
 
Yeah I understand, plus it's what? An 11 hour drive for a con smaller than Acen? ~_~ I wish I could afford to come hang out with you but yeah....money.

But of course, totally come chill with me in Japan. I'll be there from August this year until like....July of next year? So yeah. :D Shenanigans!!!!

I hope you get better soon ;_____; Try to rest as much as you can. Which will probably be hard considering you work. ;__; ilu~
 
Holy crap! You work so fast GoOnBlack! Thank you so much! I did wonder what was going on, and now I know! ...except for the part about all of them looking like they are possesing Ryoutarou, but I'm sure that was just the artist not wanting to draw Imagin sex. You are so lucky you get to see Japan though! I hope you have a great time, even if you don't make it back for the conventions.

Yeah, gargling warm salt water tastes awful, but it really does help. Take it easy! If you were still looking for that Vinyl V3, he's on clearance over at HLJ

So... who all is going to Anime Iowa? I went last year for the first time and had a blast but have been having trouble finding people to go with for this year, maybe people in my area will be more excited for it closer to the date, I hope so.
