Day 3 started off at nearly non, catching the Air Gear gathering as well as Hanna gathering later that evening. That night was also the AMV awards and Masquerade. While our representatives split to their according assignments, Kaori Night was off making some business contacts with some drunken publishers at the Hanna dinner.
The Air Gear gathering was large and included a dance off between the divided group. All the competing dancers were amazing and there were many well made costumes at the gathering. Be sure to see our AX gallery to get you picture fix there!
The early evening Hanna gathering lasted nearly until midnight, dinner included, and yielded a cosplay and fan base of almost 40 individual people for dinner. The young comic’s author, whom probably never imagined such a huge success in such a short amount of time (I believe the comic has been published for only 9 months now), was also at the dinner! Most of the Hanna staff was there, conversing and busily thanking everyone for their support. They were all very humble and very approachable. The evening was full of Hanna laughs and drinks. Yaaaaay! Booze!
The masquerade was a well planned evening with a winning Sailor Moon act (stung right from my heart, me and my soft spot for the show) of a transformation and battle from civilian to scouts on stage. Certainly not an act I have ever seen before! There were several other skits that rang laughs and cheers, but the crowned winners certainly had their work cut out for them in design and costume.
