@Guy
It’s pretty cool to see older ppl cosplaying. It makes them feel young again. xD

@Smithy
With most price increases, there’s usually a justification behind it. Okay, when they first moved to ATP, $30 was kinda hefty but still reasonable. Heck, the last place it was held at, it was cheaper than here. Now with the increase of $5 and seeing not any major changes is really something I’m annoyed about. Off course, as I’m not the ppl running these events, I’m sure they have many reasons to justify it.

@Kam
Welcome Kam. I hope u enjoy what ur reading so far. ^^
Ah nice. I wouldn’t mind going there someday.

@Ace
I wished there was more Alicia cosplayers but still I’m very happy there was even one. ^^

@Pudding
If she was in a crowd, I would’ve missed her.

@Kazearashi
It’s not officially out via online stores. My friend brought it with him on that day. He was able to secure one from Wonfes.

@Koshiko
I hope u could come next year. :3
Yup, the FMA guy was at SMASH! if you remember. I wasn’t able to get a good picture of him at the time but I’m happy he came back. ^^
I’m not sure if ppl noticed he was cosplaying as King Bradley?

@zenical
Looks like ur predictions came true even though I tried to hide it. :(
Well, if that case, I wouldn’t need to think twice about paying the tickets for AFA. xD

@Rin
$55CAD for 3 days is reasonable but $50AUD for 2 days is kinda not.
A few years back, it was a 3 day event and it cost me $50AUD for the weekend pass. God I miss those days.
I wouldn’t mind attending Anime North one day.

@Adun
LOL. I didn’t hesitate one bit. Literally the fanboy inside me just took over. xD

@Gordanham
Me either.

@Q
That’s considered really cheap already but I’m not surprised. lol

@GNdynames
I don’t mind paying a higher price for something new or something more eventful but what I saw was the same thing.

@Tommy
I agree but what I’ve saw didn’t meet my expectations. There wasn’t anything really special but I guess the price makes it up for the awesome quality of cosplayers this year. Still, that doesn’t really justify the price as it’s optional for ppl to cosplay or not.

@Roy
LOL. I’m not sure what your point is but it’s kinda humorous. lol
I wouldn’t call them noobs if u get what I mean.

@Blowfish
I didn’t ask and I wasn’t going to. lol

Wow amazing cosplayers, these events just seem to get better and better every year. Guess a lot of noobs are converting to anime and otaku stuff^^ Japan needs to launch a missile with otaku and anime related stuff towards the US because their is NOTHING HERE!^^ Glad you had an awesome time though, and awesome coverage as always :D

I don’t have any beef with entrance fees as long as they provide a quality event to back up the price. I get pissed when it doesn’t meet expectations.

Lovely cosplayers. But that Mikuru bunny (no offense) should’ve picked another Mikuru attire. I really love that BRS cosplay, maybe I’ll see on in a local convention next year. ^^

Big conventions around here are rather pricey for an entrance fee. For the two conventions I went to I paid 40 and 55 respectively.

35AUD for entrance fee? Wow it’s so much of a contrast to Hong Kong, where it’s just 20HKD for the ani-com convention (~3AUD). We start complaining when it starts going up to 30HKD (~4.5AUD) already!
