When a player request Double Blind, the player on the left side (1p) decides which character they will choose and whispers his/her selection to the Tournament Organizer. Double Blind Selection: Either player must explicitly ask for the Double Blind Selection method before either player chooses a character.Once either player chooses a character, neither is allowed to request that the Double Blind Selection method be used. Standard Selection: Both players choose their characters whenever they want.If the players cannot come to an agreement on the method of character selection, the judge will apply the double blind method. If the players do not discuss the method of character selection, it should be understood that the Standard method is being used. For CPTOffline, a game of rock-paper-scissors will determine who gets to pick their side. If an agreement cannot be reached, players shall follow the instructions provided by the Tournament Organizer on CPTOnline. Choosing Sides: When both players are at the game console, they must come to an agreement which side of the machine they will play on (who will sit on 1p and who will sit on 2p).Overall, I had a great time hanging out with my friends! Also managed to get some videos, including behind-the-scenes of D-Piddy’s “Deadpool vs. Got a couple of freebies from my friends at PMX when I signed up for the raffle and Vampy gave me a sticker! I’d gotten a while back, and the swimsuit was too good a deal to pass up! I missed the pre-order for Hakase so I was glad to be able to get her at a decent price! All three figures are from my friends at ABCToy4Me! Nice to see that Anime Conji actually has program guides, since cons are starting to rely more heavily on apps and whatnot for their schedules. Ran into Nitemare1004 at the swap meet, where he was in his White Rock Shooter cosplay! Ran into Crunchyroll’s lovely SailorBee and talented Tomochiyuu! SailorBee was afraid it’d be too dark, but I think it came out great! :O So embarrassed that I even showed her this amateurish photo after I took it. I found out later that this is Guest of Honor Yamamoto Asako, the Chief Editor for COSMODE’s “COSnap”. We saw her shooting and we all asked for pictures. “How to make Geek Culture pay your rent with(out) really trying” was quite interesting and informative! Took in one of the several Chocolate Covered Cosplay panels held that weekend. Here is Super Saki as the adorable PMX mascot! Ran into many of my friends from AX (both are run by SPJA) and PMX down there. The lovely and personable Guest of Honor Vampy in her Metroid cosplay! This amigurumi (crocheted stuff toy) of Totoro at one of the tables was huge! It’s an animated holiday special produced by David Choe and Good Smile Company and animated by Japan’s animation powerhouse, Sanzigen, of Ultra Super Pictures!ĮDIT: Photoshoot with Kazumi Cosplay as well as photoshoot with Hikari Twinkle and Nomster are on-line!Īrtists Alley was set up along the walls of the Dealers Hall.

When Halloween is in trouble, a mysterious masked boy goes beyond his limits to try and save Halloween. Good Smile Company shared a booth with Guest of Honor Rhode Montijo, who is the director/creator of the upcoming animated special The Halloween Kid, based on the children’s book published by Simon & Schuster. I was able to participate in a couple of photoshoots (photos soon!) and I also peeked in on the dealers hall and swap meet. This year’s Anime Conji’s theme was “Celebrating Cosplay”, and with “Cosplay Is Not Consent” being the topic du jour, there were signs everywhere reminding people of the fact. I’m glad I was able to get one of this very well-done Belle! I saw some Ariels, but I didn’t get a chance to take pictures of any of them for one reason or another. The locale was rather lovely, the event taking place at a resort, and the overcast weather helped in keeping the weather cool. This cosplay (and cosplayer Luna Lovely Cosplay) was quite eye-catching! Lots of white, which offered a nice contrast against all the beige and green. Had always heard about Anime Conji, so when the opportunity for me to check it out arose, I took it! Drove down to a couple of friends’ place and stayed the night before heading down to San Diego in the early (early for me, anyway) morning!
