All tagged anime convention
Whether you’re a seasoned cosplay expert or an eager newbie, everyone could use a good closet cosplay in their lineup—that’s a costume made mostly from store-bought items with little to no alteration needed on your part. And, if you’ve been enjoying the Summer 2021 anime season so far, why not try out a few of these easy closet cosplays from some of its best new characters? Let’s see what fun outfits you can create for your next convention!
Briana Lawrence (Brichibi Cosplays) and Jessica Walsh (SnowCosplays) are a cosplaying and writing couple known as Sewn Together Reflections. Briana is perhaps best known for her magical girl novel/comic hybrid MagnifiqueNOIR, which had its second book release recently, and Jessica spends much of her time creating cosplays to flatter all figures. They’re also freelance non-fiction writers as well as advocates for diversity in media and self-esteem with cosplay. We caught up with Briana and Jessica at Ohayocon 2020 to discuss how they met, how they get inspired, and much more!
As a new decade dawns upon us, Ohayocon is ready to celebrate in style! This anime convention draws over 20,000 people to Columbus, Ohio to revel in all things nerdy for one fun-filled weekend in the doldrums of winter. We were on the scene for all three days of the con, so let’s see what Ohayocon had to offer this year!
Caitlin Glass is a staple of the anime industry – she’s been voice acting and directing for over 15 years, perhaps most notably on classics like Fullmetal Alchemist (Winry Rockbell) and Ouran High School Host Club (Haruhi Fujioka). We caught up with her at Matsuricon 2019 in Columbus, Ohio to chat about her directing career, the cultural impact of My Hero Academia, Shakespearean actors voicing anime characters, and a special new project that she’ll be working on soon. Let’s check out what she has to say!
Justin Briner is a relatively new face in the anime voice acting world, but he has recently skyrocketed in popularity thanks to his breakout role as Izuku “Deku” Midoriya in the hit series My Hero Academia. We sat down with him at Matsuricon 2019 in Columbus, Ohio to chat about his most iconic roles, the uniquely bizarre world of Sarazanmai, his take on whether or not Mikaela from Seraph of the End was actually in love with Yuuichirou, and plenty of other topics. Let’s hear what he has to say!
When the carefree summer season starts to trail away, soon to be replaced with autumn leaves and pesky adult responsibilities, Ohio congoers gather in Columbus to celebrate all things anime before the first chilly breeze drifts in. Matsuricon is going strong in its 13th year, bringing in 18 special guests and over 6500 attendees for this event. We immersed ourselves in the con for all three days, so we’ve got details on everything you need to know about Matsuricon 2019. Let’s get started!
