Anime Expo 2016 photos :D

So unfortunately, I could only spend one day at AX this year, since I will be leaving for Vegas in around a few hours, but here is a photo dump! These are the only photos I have on my phone since one of our friends is a photographer!It took him 2 months to edit the photos from our paintballing trip last time, so I'm not sure how long it will be this time! But, he's very good and he does it for free, so <3 I'm also wearing a leg brace that extends from my knee to my hip due to an injury in my IT band in my knee (the whole story is on my Facebook, I don't want to bore you with the gritty details haha). Worry not! My thighs aren't THAT disproportionate from my calves. These are some of the people I hung out with: He is the only close friend of mine that watches anime http://i.imgur.com/nATOCqY.jpg These are more dance friends that watch anime http://i.imgur.com/tZgdEss.jpg I don't have a group photo on my phone :( but there were three others From 10 AM - 3 PM, I was Murderous Monokuma! But for most of that time, I didn't take many pictures since I was wasting my money in the Exhibit hall! From 3 PM - 10 PM, I was a post apocalyptic K pop dancer! First picture of the day - Koro Sensei! http://i.imgur.com/eeeYH5i.jpg Yandere-Chan <3 http://i.imgur.com/mHZZXSj.jpg I'm not too sure what they were, but they were very cute: http://i.imgur.com/tZtrsua.jpg Cute loli KanColle person http://i.imgur.com/97hB3SM.jpg More KanColle! Shimakaze (I pulled an allnighter the night before, and I start feeling it around here at 4 PM): http://i.imgur.com/Ku1BWt0.jpg My feet hurt really badly: http://i.imgur.com/9Lt9MIq.jpg Being forced to get up: http://i.imgur.com/liBDsV5.jpg I also do not know what this is, but it was cute: http://i.imgur.com/unRaZqS.jpg Swimsuit Bunny! At this point, the leg brace on my thigh and knee is starting to constrict my blodoflow, and it kind of hurts. http://i.imgur.com/5q8DaCg.jpg Asked some friends and this is Krul Tepes from Owari no Seraph! http://i.imgur.com/0uSxlpL.jpg My Favorite Photp (at least on my phone) http://i.imgur.com/AnKldUn.jpg And here I am dead: http://i.imgur.com/vnHNhh6.jpg I have a lot of pictures of cosplayers, but I haven't the time to edit them and post them now! Also, the majority of the ones that I took with them ended up a bit blurry, such as the one up top! But, here are the clothing loot! I already hung up some of the pictures, so I will post them as a comment another time! This one you see in my profile pic: http://i.imgur.com/ISNZDE0.jpg And this because you know, I'm Tsunbae http://i.imgur.com/Jg6nawa.jpg So this is just a gist of what a con is about so don't be afraid to go to one near you! It is a lot of fun, even after an injury! If there is any con going on in the West side of the USA and you are afraid of going alone, let me know like 4 months a head and there is a huge chance that I would probably fly out lol.

I'm 20 years old and have yet to go to a damn con..hopefully next year will be the year! And all my cosplay buddies are talkin' about Anime Expo >3< Ughhh, i'm jealous~ You look like ya had fun, even if you were hurting haha

@?????? Yes it was extremely enjoyable! If you choose to go to AX next year, then we can take a picture together! The brace was a bit of a hindrance haha. I know there were at least 6 other MO people going to AX, so, if you recognized me and saw how I walked, that is why! The way I walked had to be altered a little. I had to throw my leg with my hip every couple of steps because the brace restricted my hamstrings. TL;Dr I couldn't bend my lower leg :( and had to walk with my hips instead

[ the username is sailorghoul lmfao ] Really!? Hell yeah~ Ah! Poor thing! :O I know the walking struggle, I have weak ankles so sometimes i'll take one step and roll on my foot, which becomes bruised and irritating to walk on Plus i'm totally outta shape, so walking around for too long is a NO NO! I hope you heal up quickly though! Because that suckssss

@Sailorghoul lmfao Yes, well, mine was caused more by stupidity than by accident haha. If it was an accident, I would have an excuse since at least I would've taken precautions to prevent it. I kind of forced myself to go lower into my splits but since my hip flexor could bend no more, the applied force moved both my knees inward toward the ground instead. My friend actually took a picture of me explaining why I had that thing on my thigh. Look how my knee is bent on the right leg. My hip flexor could stretch no more and I still put more weight into it, so, my knees went *boop* and that is when I knew, I definitely messed up. I went as low as I could in this picture without it causing pain to my knee haha. http://i.imgur.com/DXnKWOj.jpg

O.O whoa there- I wanna respect that you got so far down in that split but then I wanna call you a dummy because you fer sure shouldn't have done it haha Tsk tsk tsk sir

Oh I definitely shouldn't have. I agree with you, I am indeed a dummy. But, my friends asked for an explanation on how doing the splits would've injured my knee, so, I gave them like a tiny physics lesson using my body haha. It's like trying to bend an object that won't bend any more. Instead of going the same direction of the applied force, it'll turn your knee in to a super fulcrum, using the ground and the force of the weight on your hips, and launch the force into the opposite direction, resulting in an an injury :( I apologize for ranting haha. I just feel stupid because I knew what would happen if I did that. I'm more like ranting about myself.

It's okay! Ranting makes good conversation...to me at least xD Well karma got you back for it, so I guess everything is good right? Haha I sound so mean :O It's cool dude! Talk about yourself all you want, I don't even mind~

Ahh I might as well haha! I will talk about why I can do the splits! Originally, a few months back, some guy tricked me into thinking that I needed to be able to do the splits to be able to form lower abdominal muscles. It made sense to to me at the time since the hip flexor/abductors are connected to the lower abdominals (stupid on my part because I studied muscular anatomy and should've known better). But, to be fair, his reasoning was pretty sound at the time. He said I needed to be able to do the splits because that would allow me full rotation of my lower abdominals, which was right, you do. So, I went ahead and did it lol. I kept stretching for the splits after I learned that it was a lie because now I can high kick lol. High kicking in a suit makes me feel bad ass :D. I might not know how to punch, use my knees, or elbows, I know minimal takedowns and throws, but you know what? I can freaking high kick XD. It looks freaking sexy!

I mentally face-palmed at the "should have known better" part haha Well ya' know, nothing wrong with equipping "splits" as a skill set xD I know that feeling! When you wear something bad ass and do something bad ass! It's like you become the supreme ultimate definition of SEXY BAMF! Mad respect for you high kicks, sir :)
