Saturday at Otakon! Big costume day and there certainly were very excellent costumes everywhere. Today was a little frustrating at times but I always get like that at Otakon at least at some point. I think it has to do with all the people crowding me. I got to see Voltron! Yes my friends, Defender of the Universe Voltron! I knew it was going to be cheesy and not hold up to the pedestal that I put it on when I was a kid but this is the cartoon that got me into anime in the first place. Robotech came later. The played the first 4 episodes of voltron and they were just glorious. I felt like a little kid again. And so did the whole audience around me-everyone cheered and clapped at the opening titles. It was great. I got to talking with this nice guy sitting behind me and now I wish I had exchanged emails or something with him. I have got to keep myself open when those situations happen! Then afterwards I hung out with Willow and Greg and that was great! How cool to have them there too. Then off to the saturday night fan parodies which are the high point of every Otakon weekend. Can you imagine-"Brokeback Evangelion"? It was hilarious! Plus other movie trailers made from anime and everybody's favorites Evangelion ReDeath and Nescaflowne. Yay fan parodies!
