DoCoMi 2012

Outfit of that day.

It's been ages since i've been to an Anime Convention. The last one i went to was the Animagic 2008 and if i recall correctly i wasn't all that enthusiastic about it in the end. Now, 4 years later, i decided to go to the DoCoMi in Düsseldorf after dear Karo asked me if i want to go with her.

Conventions are boring if you go there with your Mom ( i admit, i only came with my mom the first time i went to a con... ) but with good friends -like all things in life- are actually fun i  noticed!

I guess they are even more fun if youre a Cosplayer and you and your Friends fool around all over the venue! Thats why Karo and I kinda felt like wanting to cosplay too,I don't like the costumey kind of Cosplay though. I always wanted to do cosplay which could also pass as an awesome take on

 japanese street fashion. Something along the lines of Death Notes MisaMisa. I felt like getting some cute wigs and rocking a Misa outfit!

Apart from watching Cosplayers we also took a long stroll around the stalls. What can i say, there was very kawaii but also typical Convention Stuff. We noticed ourselves squealing from stall to stall!
What i especially enjoyed seeing there were the Ragecomic Buttons and charms, i would've bought boyfie the trollface one but i found them too be way too expensive then.

 

Look at us feeling all supahcawaii in our otaku hats! 

After walking around the whole venue,  we got hungry and wanted to visit the host club. Yes, the Con had a Host Club. 8D We bought some Coupons and then stood in Line, when it was our turn in the line, the receptionist hostguy told us what they do and asked us which host we want to be accompanied by. When we actually imagined how guys are supposed to entertain us while we eat, we felt all embarrassed and stood there for a while giggling stupidly. xD

 After we calmed down we took a look at the list and chose the one we wanted to be our host. We first picked a guy named Tobi, or Toni or something. He was really goodloocking and seemed to be the most booked out host. So because we didn't want to wait too long we decided to just get the guy who was available at that time, which happened to be  a guy called Mino.

When we came to sit at the table Mino still attended his other guests. They were laughing and flirtily poking fun at him while he was acting all hurt and stuff. It was kinda cute. After their session ended and when he attended to us he was all complayining about how his customers are all weird people and how there was some person with undefinable gender who bit him in the neck. He then told us how relieved he was to see us, since we were the only normal customers he had so far. Poor Guy, we kinda felt sorry for him.Mino seemed to be a nice guy harrased by crazy otakus.

It was a reallly interesting experience, what seemed to be awkward at first was actually quite nice in the end. I ordered a non alcoholic cocktail ( becuase alcohol was not allowed in the venue) and something called Amiyori. I dont know why it was called Amiyori though, since to me it just seemed like a Onigiri with filling.

 

Ah well, i guess i'll never find out. It was tasty though!

Thanks for reading, till next post :)
