Otakon 2010 Photos

by Eric Kociecki

Friday, September 3, 2010

Here's the collection of photos that we took at Otakon 2010. This year they have been split into two groups:

The first group are entirely Clamp characters. These were mostly pictures taken during the Clamp photoshoots that we attended. These shoots were a blast and we met a bunch of other people who also love Clamp! We also saw some great Clamp cosplayers that were not at the photoshoots, but we included any pictures we took of them in this album as well.

The second group are all of the other pictures that we took at the convention. Congratulations to everyone on their cosplays and for making Otakon so much fun!

It's almost the end of July, which means it's almost time for Otakon! Most of the Ending B crew will be in attendance as characters from a certain CLAMP story... stories? I dunno, semantics man. Anyway, we'll be there in costume for most of the weekend ready to enjoy the Anime convention. Hope to see you there!

ACen 2010 Recap - Part 3

by Eric Kociecki

Monday, May 24, 2010

The first thing I did after getting to the con was … get my picture taken. I didn’t even manage to make it past the lobby before being stopped for the first time. I have a relatively popular cosplay, so this happens frequently. My favorite part of conventions is walking around and seeing the many cosplayers. I spend most of my day at a con taking pictures and getting my picture taken. I love cosplaying.

This is the first of a short series of articles recapping this year's ACen 2010. As usual there were a ton of great cosplayers. I've collected a few of my favorites here on Ending B (see more after the jump). The full collection is viewable over on my Picasa Web Album here: picasaweb.com/eric.kociecki/ACen2010.

Ohayocon Day 2 Snapshot

by Eric Kociecki

Saturday, February 6, 2010

I know this is exactly one week late, but I wanted to let everyone know that I am working on a larger Ohayocon summary post that will be up in the next week or two. Until then, enjoy these pictures that I was in the process of posting last Sunday morning while waiting for people to wake up for Ohayocon.

Ohayocon 2010 Day One

by Eric Kociecki

Saturday, January 30, 2010

One day down and I'm awake nice and early getting ready for the second day. Not much to say about Friday, but we had a lot of fun. Met some new people, saw some old friends, took pictures of complete strangers, and chatted with all. Click for more more cosplay pictures after the jump.

Ohayocon 2010

C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER! That was close! Our most prolific author, Craig, was one post away from owning the entire front page.

Back on topic ... Ohayocon is one week away! It's time to break out your costumes, brush up on your Nipponese, and ride the nearest cat bus to downtown Columbus. The Ending B crew will be there in force partaking of the usual anime and Japanese-inspired activities.

Usually in these pre-con posts I advertise for our friend Kim's Artist Alley table, but this year she won't be there. Instead I'm gonna highly recommend that everyone check out three panels hosted by the friendly folks from Borderline Hikikomori. The first panel is a Soul Eater fan panel. The other two panels are about creating and running an anime blog. You can check out their schedule for these panels at their site.

Hope to see lots of people there for another great convention!

Otakon 2009

Thursday, July 9, 2009

It's that time again! The Ending B crew is heading to Baltimore for Otakon next week. Once again, we'll be joined by Kim from MHHO. Most of the group will be cosplaying again this year. If memory serves, we'll have Craig as Kyle Hyde from Hotel Dusk, Steve as Ryu from Breath of Fire, and myself as Syaoran from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. We'll be posting pics and updates from Baltimore starting this coming Thursday assuming we can find some free WiFi to use.

Acen 2009 Report: Day Three

by Eric Kociecki

Sunday, May 10, 2009

Acen 2009 is over, and we are tired! I'm back at Kim's place for the night after a 7 hour drive from Chicagoland. Sunday was slower than the other days, but we still saw quite a few cosplayers. Artist's Alley was looking a little dead though as some artists left early (including us, we left an hour before close). Steve had to leave early in the afternoon to catch a flight back home. As usual, check out more pictures after the jump!
