(Forgive the nostalgia farming with the crusty 2005 Canon digicam.)
Just wanted to share some pics and a little about my experience at EVO Japan!
I'm in Nagoya studying for a year, so I took the opportunity to go to EVO Japan for days 1 and 2 during my Golden Week break.
I follow quite a few artists from Twitter, and one of them said they would be hanging around the GGST pools to give out free Guilty Gear stickers that they had drawn (pic 5, nikoinoillust on Twitter). I managed to find them, but I wasn't expecting it to be the cutest motherly looking middle-aged lady. Maybe I should pay more attention to Twitter bios because she does say that she posts about her son. 😭
All of the cosplayers looked amazing, but I'm really shy to begin with and feel like I'm bothering people if I can't speak Japanese well on top of that, so only got pics of 2. ABA is sakamata_221 on Twitter, and Bridget is yunomi_ochawan on Twitter.
This honestly lit even more of a fire under my butt to learn Japanese faster. I don't just want to be able to see cool people and events, I want to be able to engage with them properly!
