Introduction Thread!!

[ladysphinx07]

Hello! My name is Kelsey and this is going to be my first Matsuricon! I'm very lucky I can go because my lovely friends offered my boyfriend and I a spot in their room! I've been going to cons for about 5 years now (Colossal, Ohayo and now Youma) and I'm really excited to be able to add Matsuri to the list. I'm dying for some of the con drug before Youmacon!

My list of anime/video game interests is a little long-winded, but lately I've been on a Fairy Tail/Avatar/Puella Magi Madoka Magica/Legend of Zelda kick.

I'm really into cosplaying (this year is Fairy Tail & Zelda) and coercing encouraging my friends/bf to cosplay with me! I've done panels with my bestie at past cons, but I'm excited to just hang out, relax and talk with people at Matsuri. I can't wait to be around fellow geeks again!

Hello I'm Hetalia Fangirly, but you can just call me Jahnel. I obviously love Hetalia, but my one true anime love is Yu Yu Hakusho.

This will be my second Matsuricon but I've been going to cons for a little over 3 years now :3

I'm addicted to cons and cosplaying.

You know who's awesome? You are. So is oldasdust. I love him.

[Kize]

Hello! My name is Larry! I just Pre-Registered! This will be me and my wife's very first Con EVER and we are super excited!! I am fairly new to anime, but my favorites so far are: Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood/ Soul Eater/ Death Note/Code Geass/ Gunslinger Girl! (To name a few...I love them all!) I have no clue what to expect, so we're just gonna show up and have some fun.

[oldasdust]

Welcome Kize/Larry!  Your first con will be a blast!

[Kamon Keronji]

Kon'nichiwa!

My name is cliff (although all of my anime friends call me kamon). I am 28 years of age and I am still into anime (Believe it or not)
this will be my 3rd matsuricon and my 11th anime convention since 2004.

 I love anime conventions so much that I go 3 times a year (2 times for the whole weekend and 1 time for a day). I started with Ohayocon in 2004 but over the years stopped going because they had too many family oriented and safety rules. then in 2005 on a convention site list in Newtype Usa Magazine I started to read that there alot more conventions then I realized. I found 2 of them that was in columbus at the time which was animepunch and matsuricon. I first decided to go to animepunch becuase it was "College Based" but then got more interested in matsuricon after 2 years because their programming was fun but sometimes educational.

(but I am going to animepunch this year YAY!)

good news is because of the recent job search and training at T.J. Maxx ... I think I can afford 2 cons a year again!

As for anime I like...well I have watched anime that has not been released in the us. My current anime is Asobi Ni Iku Yo.
which is a romantic comedy.  and my top favorites is: To Love Ru,Sekirei,Rosario To Vampire and Asobi Ni Iku Yo.

Other than watching anime I love to draw my own fictional anime characters and play on xbox live. my favorite xbox 360 games is GTA:TBOGT and Split second.

To fund my anime conventons I save every dollar that I have at the end of the week from my daily living expenses (including rent,bills  and Etc. but with the job training is making it easier to save for it.

Anywho Hope to see you all there again!

[Dork Strider]

Eyo, you can call me AP and this'll be my second Matsuricon.

I've been to quite a few other cons, but not around the OH area. I've only lived here a year you see.
I REALLY enjoy going to cons and I absolutely foam from the mouth for cosplaying. I've become more of a gamer than an anime fan, so you could easily find me hanging around any room with a controller and console. The only reason my usual anime routine has been slow lately is because I'm having trouble finding shows that appeal to me. I'm more of a fan for fiction of the sorts, but I do sometimes find something completely out of my tastes that I enjoy.

I'm in almost every fandom you can name, and a proud member at that. I really dislike it when people beat on what the fandoms are interested in, examples being the anime Hetalia or cartoon MLP:FiM. If you don't like those shows that's fine with me, but if you decide not to watch it because of the "bad crowd" in every fandom, shame on you! So as a friendly request, please don't give me that shit. ヽ（´ー｀）

Anywaaay, good to meet you all & cheers to another con!

[ImNewHere]

Hi, I forgot I registered here. This will be my first Matsuricon and my hundredandsomethingth con. You may have seen me on other forums under the same username.

If not I can tell you I'm one of the old ones at 35 years old, but I still like anime, and I have one hell of a collection. You might see me wandering in crosplay, lolita, normal cosplay, or jeans and a tshirt. Ohh, I may have sold you hentai or anime before in a dealer room some place. I may have also taken your picture at some time from the booth I was selling stuff out of.

[JinkoKinko]

Hey people! My name's Josh A.K.A: JinkoKinko but you can call me what ever you like. This will be my first Matsuricon ever (second convention in general) and I'm so excited to make some new friends and make some smiles! I'm 19 years old, I live in Cleveland, OH and I work as a baker's apprentice (Batterwitch in training). I haven't had much time to actually sit down and watch anime recently because of work but I dabble as hard as I can. Some of my favorites are Blue Gender, Bobobo-bo-bobobo, Detective Conan,  Ika Musume, Oh Edo Rocket, and Nichijou. Apart from the anime side of life (I'm just finding out there is one) I'm a huge Homestuck fan, a proud Brony, and I think I'm starting to like Doctor Who but I'll get back to you on that. People tell me I act a bit on the "odd side" But really, what's so odd about a guy in a scrafty cosplay handing out free candy and glowsticks? Okay, don't answer that. I'm a big cosplay fan though I can't do anything right EVER! I always get some odd twist of an idea that turns the entire cosplay into something crazy. I think that's all I've got to say sooo LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!

[FirearmofMutiny]

Hi all! I'm Firearm; I'm best known for my Chunichi Dragons fan "costume", but this year I also cosplayed as Jiro Komyoji from Android Kikaider.

My favorite anime includes Eva, Kikaider, and Noir; I also watch a lot of mecha anime.  But most of all I'm into sports, including Japanese sports teams.  I lived near Nagoya, so I latched onto the Dragons as well as Nagoya Grampus, their soccer team.
