It’s a whole week since Anime Central ended and I’m still looking back fondly on how much fun it was. The volunteer staff was great and really helped my rather large crew get through some sticky situations with badge pickup. Props to the staff!
There are too many things going on to see everything, so it just turned out that this year our focus was on music. I ended up seeing pretty much all of the major musical performances. We saw the Pillows, Swek, Kumiko Kato, and the Penny Lane Allstars. Oh, and I also want to recognize the two guys with the keyboard who played anime and game tunes virtually nonstop the whole convention. I love passion like that!
Cosplay, cosplay, cosplay! There seemed to be more people cosplaying than ever before. It looked like close to half of the attendees were in costume. And those costumes were very very good this year. I was very impressed by the amount and level of detail that so many put into their costumes. I took a lot of pictures this year that you can see via the following link.

Well the ol’ clock on the wall says that it’s time to go to work, so I’ll write more a bit later. Needless to say, I’m already looking forward to ACEN 2006. And I’m planning a costume!
