Dream Party 411
As I predicted, Dream Party is more of an ero con...H games, dating sims, visual novels, animes based off of visual novels.... The companies go out and sell their stuff: body pillows, posters, cds, all adorned with beautiful females with little to no clothes on. Why would I even go there? Well, I missed Super Comic City so I went this morning. ^.^ Unbeknowest to Figther and me, Commidia (sp?) another doujin con was taking place in the other wing of the building. The other wing also had 'Dolls Party' a gathering of doll collectors by the maker Volks, but I think the fans could bring other dolls as well.
Besides the display of H-ness at Dream Party, the Dream Party cosplay gathering was also a major attraction. It required an additional 500 yen for entry to the cosplay area, but I didn't want to miss this. (If I had known, I would have cosplay Ritsuka. ^^; Oh well, next time....)
cosplay babes and lots of paper
I met up with Fighter at 11am when the con opens. We traded our ticket in for a pamphlet which became our proof of entry at the con. (We also had to prove our age so we could look at ecchi stuff. ^.^) We browsed a bit and took some pics of the booth babes...the cosplayers decorating the booth. Actually, besides the girls and the two of us, there were hardly any other females in the room. Comiket hentai area dejavu...the testosterone level of the room was high. ^^; Being the con that it is, I wasn't surprised at all. Some girls didn't allow pics so I asked when I approached them. ^^V We picked up alot of pretty ads and even a calendar poster. The con itself wasn't very large so we went through the area quickly. There was also a stage where live events will be held so we watched a bit before heading out to the cosplay area.
Note: there was a car on display in the room. More of these cars were outside in the cosplay area.
cosplay awesomeness
The cosplay area was outside and halfway through, it started drizzling. But for the time I was outside, there were only a few drops every moment or so. I snapped away happily and a few highlights was:
- Meeting Miyazaki-sama. ^.^
- An awesome Kuroshitsuji group that had a variety of props. (They had a mini-chainsaw!) They even set up the 'dessert' for me. ^.^ Once I saw the silverware, I just had to ask Sebastian for the 'pose'. Of course, Sebastian obliged me.
- Al! Enough said.
- Lockon and Allelujah...with the cutest Haro ever.
- Shampoo and female Ranma...with 110 shampoo bottle. Me: Ranma! Kioskede!
- Meeting Taiwan from Hetalia Axis Powers for the first time. ^.^ I didn't even know Taiwan had a character! Sugoi!
- An awesome Gundam 00 group...with the Gundam pilots actually being guys! Of course, I asked for 'couple' pics. I only wanted them to stand togeter...nothing BL-ish. ^.^ When I asked if Lockon and Setsuna can take a pic together, Feldt Grace laughed...she knew what I was aiming for. ^.^ I also asked Allelujah and Tierde for a pic. Allelujah put his arm around Tierde on his own! *fangirls*
- A mass of Macross cosplayers crowding around these two...and someone on the side exclaimed 'Fujoshi!' lol Fighter and I joined them in taking pics. Innocent enough...but holding hands.... Awwww....
- The cutest cosplay duo of the day. ^.^
- Harry Potter.... Yay for western fandom cosplay!
- Lenalee...yay for gaijin cosplays! ^-^
- Lamento...dessert styled. ^.^
I must say my favorite cosplays of the day were all the Gundam 00 and Kuroshitsuji. There were loooong lines for the more revealing cosplays. I see boobage! And it's real too! *covers eyes* ^^; After grabbing all our fav cosplay pics, we headed inside to look for something to eat.
break and last moments
We went to a curry place and ordered hayashi rice. I added a potato croquette with tartar sauce on the side. Oishi! After resting over our meal, we headed back to Dream Party con area for another round before leaving.
