Fanime and Anime Expo are the only conventions I'd consider going to. I'm not motivated by a desire to meet PC members in the flesh, however; I've been bugged repeatedly by some of my offline friends to go during high school, and I promised two women on graduation day that I'd go to at least one of those conventions.
If I were to pick only one of those characters to cosplay as, it would most likely be Kyon.

I think it's messed up that they would like..judge you for something that you "kind of" like. My opinion is that if you like it, you should go, and they sould just have to get past the fact that you're going. :x
Well they most likely take that as, being a tiny bit of a smart mouth... XD;;;
But, you are right.. XD;
Don't forget me >: My mom is fine with us switching from New York to Toronto, and the cost isn't that much more then flying to New York. I'll have to get my dad to okay it though, which shouldn't be that hard.
I might cosplay if ya'll do, XD
Anime North would be my first anime convention though, for the longest time my parents thought that anime was just a waste of time, so they didn't even consider it XD;

A many thanks...haha. I've been having such a bad week at school, I've been getting *****ed out everywhere. LMAO It really sucks...today wasn't any better unfortunately. :P
..You're going too? T___T
Dude, watch like, half of you not show up xD
Anime conventions..aren't really my thing. I mean, I just don't really myself there with any of you ._.
Plus I would have no one to go with; Dude, all my RL friends are sucky, and only like to get wasted and listen to music. That's it. o_O
Erm..maybe later on I'll check into something like that. One that's actually..somewhat close to where I live xD;

I thought about going to the convention 'Otakon', but I've watched some videos and, I swear, it's straight-up nerds there. So, I decided to pass on that. XD;

YEY you never said you were going! Unless I forgot... but that's awesome that you'll cosplay. :P I'm most likely going as Hitsugaya Toshiro or Hisagi Shuuhei. My friend is going as Ichigo and another as Chad.
Anime conventions should be your thing they are awesome. Dress up, play video games, get anime stuff cheap, it's amazing. :D

It's not that amazing, Tyler. XDD; It's cool to go to the things, but I just..can't imagine going as a character. It's just..awkward. T__T
But, if I went too, I'd totally support your decision to dress up.

Pfft, you didn't even ask me to come along with you, so of course I wouldn't mention you. >:
Same here. Actually, my parents don't even realize I enjoy watching anime. They hardly know anything about my interests. However, I'm certain they would consider it as a waste of time as well. XD

My dad saw me watching an anime once. I don't think he cared much, but I still turn it off when he comes in because I don't want him acting all lame and asking what it's about or what is so good about it. >:
Dude..i don't even really watch anime anymore, and I have no idea who " Hitsugaya Toshiro" is, but i mean, if dressing up as 2-D asian cartoon characters in public is your thing, go for it! :]
My parents don't really know..anything about my interests. Dude..They were convinced I was gay for like, 2 weeks once ._.
If caught watching anime infront of my parents, i would probably get the stereotypical "Dude, why you watch those little chinese cartoons?" Then be laughed at for it. My parents tend to be..verbally abusive ._.

You actually considered going to Otakon? You should have gone, if only to meet all the big-name directors, manga-ka, voice actors, webcomic artists, and musicians.
2003: Johnny Yong Bosch, Justin Cook, Brian Drummond, T.M.Revolution
2004: Luci Christian, Richard Epcar, Chris Patton, Monica Rial, Christopher Sabat, L'Arc~en~Ciel
2005: Greg Ayres, Luci Christian, Justin Cook, Richard Ian Cox, Mike McFarland, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, Scott McNeil, Vic Mignogna, Seiji Mizushima, Scott Ramsoomair, Monica Rial, Michelle Ruff
2006: Christine Auten, Troy Baker, Colleen Clinkenbeard, Caitlin Glass, Kate Higgins, Kouta Hirano, Ayako Kawasumi, Nana Kitade, Yuri Lowenthal, Mike McFarland, Monica Rial, Patrick Seitz
2007: Steven Blum, Colleen Clinkenbeard, Aaron Dismuke, Vic Mignogna, Stephanie Sheh, Michael Sinterniklaas, Tomokazu Seki
All I know is that the owners of Megatokyo and Little Gamers must really like Baltimore a lot, if Wikipedia is to be believed; Fred Gallagher, Christian Fundin, and Pontus Madsen have been Otakon regulars since the early 2000s.

Hmm I'd probably go there for the anime stuff.
But, if I had the chance to go their, I most likely not dress up as well as klippy said above..XD;
Don't get me wrong nothing is wrong with it, it's just that it's not my thing.:x;

Omg omg omg are more people coming to Anime North? My friend and I are probably volunteering to do a Pokémon panel so everyone has to come to that. And the Pokémon party. And I have to meet all of youuuu. :DD ♥
But yeah, AN isn't just anime. There's a surprising amount of gaming and general content too. Honestly, I'd recommend it more for the experience of going and hanging out with friends. XD;

If I went to Anime North, I'd want to go for the commissions @_@
I've seen a lot of dA artists who go and make commissions at AN.....
Gah, that'd be fun...either that, Otakon, or Anime Expo is where I really want to go.
If I had +200 to spend :B
