Anime Central in Chicago [May 17th-20th 2013]

Me w/ my sisters at Anime Central on the first day. The event is held for three days from May 17th to 19th but we stayed an extra day til Monday the 20th. The one on the far left, Ellene is cosplaying as Rukia from BLEACH, the one in the middle, Amanda is cosplaying as Saber from Fate Zero, the one on the far right, Elaine is cosplaying as Yukiko Amagi from Persona. Truthfully, I used to be an anime freak and I used to love watching animes w/ my sisters. When I discovered about cosplaying and browsing pictures online of other people cosplaying I always wanted to try it. But unfortunately I never got the chance because as the years goes by I grew out of it and I stopped watching animes, stopped reading mangas, and even stopped playing games. Anyway, this is my first time attending ACen and honestly I didn't expect that I'll enjoy it as much but when it was all over and we're all packing to go home, I wish that the weekend never ended because I actually had a good time and meeting new people. It was a lot of fun. Plus, I thought to myself that this will be my first and last time attending but I changed my mind. I'll definitely attend again and maybe next time I'll even cosplay.


The hottest Wolfwood from Trigun I've ever seen. I should of asked for his # lol.. j/k.


Sailor Neptune from Sailor Moon


Weeping Angels from Doctor Who. This cosplayer was amazing and she started climbing on top of the brick and started posing. Almost looks as if it's a real statue.


Chobits, this cosplayer is so cute when I asked for a picture she just threw her purse on the floor and kneel down and started posing for all the cameras to take pictures. Btw, I love her outfit.


Best trio ever!! Kitana, Sub-Zero, Jade from Mortal Kombat.
