On Friday I went there before 8AM before the pre-registration line starts. Once I got in, I walked around a bit and took some of cosplay pictures. All three rooms; Artist Alley, Arcade Room, and Dealers Hall weren't open yet. Originally I planned to watch One Piece movie 8 at 10pm but I had heard that movie 8 are really just a summary or a retelling of Arabasta Arc. So instead, I decided to watch some of Clannad After Story Marathon until 11AM then I watched 2 epsiodes of Lupin III TV.
After that, I took cosplay pictures until about 1:30PM and went to watch Urusei Yatsura Movie 1. Near the end of the movie is when my friend had finally arrived. After the movie we toured all three rooms that had just opened.
ARCADE ROOM:
This is a game room. It has the collection of arcade games, tables of console games, and rows of tables for board games.
ARTIST ALLEY:
This room is where all the artists display and sell their art.
DEALERS HALL:
This room is where all the dealers sell everything from Japanese snacks to DVDs and wallscrolls.
After expolering all the rooms, we went back to the arcade room and play some mahjongg game for a while then he went home to do his homework.
Next, I watched the fouth episode of Captain Harlock and first four episodes of Galaxy Express 999.
After that I went and watched the live action movie, L: Change the WorLD. It's really good movie! I did plan to watch Cutey Honey after the movie but the movie ended late and I missed part of episode 1 so I skipped that and went home.
Next day on Saturday, I woke up very early at, I think, 6AM to catch Rosario + Vampire Capu2 marathon however it wasn't really a marathon. Why? Because they stopped showing it JUST BEFORE THE LAST FREAKING EPISODE! Because of One Piece marathon! Damn them! (Later on at home I downloaded the last episode.) Well my friend stayed on to watch the WHOLE One Piece Thriller Bark Arc marathon, 16 hours worth!
While my friend were watching One Piece, I took some more cosplay pictures. Then at 4PM I watched Claymore episode 1-4. After that, some more cospaly pictures, I don't remember if I did watch some of Nadia show but I did watch Lupin III movie: Green vs Red. It was OK movie, it got bit confusing because it was bit hard for me to follow the story. I went home after the movie.
On Sunday, I went back there in 8 o'clock in the morning to watch Clannad Movie. After that I did whatever until noon to watch Trigun episodes 1 and 2. Then at 5PM I watched Baccano! episodes 1 and 2. I didn't really enjoy it very much. Next at 8PM I watched Video Girl Ai episodes 1 and 2. It was ok anime. That's the end of my day for me.
Next Morning I woke up much earlier to catch Mermaid's Scar at 5AM but it started late so I watched the ending of Death Note Special before the show starts. Next I planned to watch Conan: The Boy in Future howver because the mermaid show started late so it also ended late, I missed the beginning of the show. I decided not to watch it. I waited until 8AM to watch Saber Marionette J episodes 1 and 2. Next, I watched Lupin III: Sweet Lost Night movie at 10AM. After that I wandered around for a bit before deciding to go home instead of watching L: Change the WorLd movie again.
