and the post-con depression starts all-over again.
The weekend seems to have gone by in a flash!
;~; As I sit here holding the adorable blue elephant plush I got from the dealer's hall today, the post con depression settles in.
All of you made this a wonderful Fanime for me. It's my 4th one, and as a senior graduating, might be my last for a while. Thanks to all of you, and I hope to see and party will all of you next year.
I miss Fanime already. I wish I would have had more energy so I could have enjoyed it more, since I was already tired as heck before I arrived at Fanime. It got worse over the weekend. >.<
I do miss it. Is it bad I already can't wait for next year?
I'm already going through Ninja withdrawls T_T

No, because I feel the same!
It needs to be 2011 already!!
Fanime Was so awesome, cosplaying and everything. But now sitting here i feel a little bored so much more excitment at Fanime like awesomeness. I dont wana get bored of Fanime. By i loved the enviorment and it was , uhh now i starting to miss it. Depression incomming. And i also can't already wait for next year.
Same here ya'll. The whole weekend I worried about how short things went and I've got little to look forward to in the next coming months. T^T I'm glad I'm not stuck with my immature irritating, constant bad mood-ed roomates and a few other negatives but I miss Fanime already!
I don't know how I feel now that Fanime is over. I had fun. I got semi disappointed at times. I think I wish I was more social like my silly friends. I wanted to stay a bit longer :(
2011 will be sooooo long....
I wish the con was at least one day longer...:(
Yeah this went way too fast! Thankfully the weather was super awesome/beautiful and there was a lot of things do to at any time. Just keeps on getting better and better!
Hey SVGL attendees, let's go to Wednesday Arcade Mania with our badges on to curb the depression! :P
I usually stay through Monday night but this year I had to leave early so the depression is definitely setting on fast. I also got sick during con. Everyone around me was sick and I was running around too much. :'(
Next year, I'm leaving on Tuesday instead of monday.
OK people, I know it's over and I was wondering if u guys feel the same way I feel. I remember having this same feeling after last year's Fanime. hmm?
I miss it already... T^T Why must it go by so fast!
first con and i got to say it was a fun experience. not really feeling any post-con depression since i was so tired by monday. (was up since midday til 4-6am). nevertheless...really cool event. looking forward to next year. :D
While I was at the air port heading back home, I was soo depressed! I had no one to talk to, no one I knew that liked anime like me, I couldn't do any thing except stare at my badge.
I miss you all already also.
Do not be discouraged through!
There will be more cons....
:3~
This was my first con... and I impatiently wait for next year.
I miss the con already, met so many people and has lots of fun. The year better be a flash
I'm mad as well. This is my third Fanime and it feels like I did anything but Fanime this year. All I did was play magic and hustled money off room space I had. Oh well, it was the best Fanime I've had so far due to other reasons, but still, it went by super fast. I'm going to go to other cons and have lots of fun there, and also start reading more manga now since I haven't been doing that in a while. Overall, next year, it's going to be even more popping.
P.S: For all that have nothing to look forward to, FIFA World Cup 2010! Mexico all the way in this one!
I miss Fanime too, it was my first one ever! It was just too much fun. Played a lot of ninja there, anyone know the name of the guy dressed up as Kakashi playing Ninja?
I did feel like it went by a lot faster then the last few years, I wish I could have made some more Con friends, damn my shyness.
I thought the programming at this year's fanime was alright but its more about meeting new people, reconnecting with old friends, and just general having fun for 4 days straight.
I had a blast this year but it felt like it was over in literally the blink of an eye.
I cannot wait for next year but don't worry, there will probably be meetups and other things to keep everyone occupied during the summer.
I hate PCD. I never wanted Fanime to end. It's so weird not seeing cosplayers walking down the streets anymore, or seeing cosplayers in one giant building.
*sigh* *depressed*
I miss it too :(. My first big con, I woke up at 9 today and I slept at 4am. :(.... too used to waking up early for the con!
I'm super sad! I feel weird going back to normal life with its crummy responsibilities! I also wished I could have made more friends this year. I hope this year goes by quickly. It was fun because I actually had someone to be with this year though, but sadder in some ways because there used to be a special person I would spend the con with, but He wanted nothing to do with me. Oh well, I love fanime!
Just like last year, I too had post-con depression. This year, it just lasted for a day because today (Tuesday) I had a Senior Picnic to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk with my class, so it made me forget. The fact that I'm graduation next week shifted my focus easier. Dunno If that's good or bad though.
Post con depression is really bad. I swear this fanime went by way too fast. Most of my time during friday and saturday at fanime was full of stress and work, so I mostly had fun on saturday night and onward.
Going to other conventions doesn't cure this depression. They may be cons but they are not fanime.
I was pretty depressed earlier until I hung out with a huge group of friends from the radio station and I found out my new time slot (Saturdays 2pm-6pm playing electronic music on 90.5 KSJS)
I think I need to make a visit to berkeley, CA. They have people who dress up oddly and homeless people who smell really bad, but it's still not the same. :'(
*Sigh* I got hit with PCD on Monday while I was walking through the halls because all I could think was, "This is my last time surrounded by all these wonderful people for another year". Now I go back to my hermitly ways of sitting in my room or going to work and having no social interaction with people... Well, time to start my countdown till next time.
I can now spend all of my time making awesome cosplay...
I just wish I met more people this year.
I'm sad i forgot about my Pokewalker D; and alot of other things i wanted to show people x] I hope people will still bring their pokewalker next year xD
Sad :-[ First Fanime ever and I was too shy to talk to anyone. I was that shy kid with a black mokona hat on and backpack. Saw a lot of interesting people I wanted to talk with too. First case of PCD and hopefully will recatch it next year
^^^ You will!
It's hard to know exactly how to start up conversations... it's always easier for me in panels than in the halls. Plus, it can help to have one or two friends around- did you go to the con alone? If so, any chance you can convince one or two folks for next year? But don't be attached at the hip. Meet up a few times during the day, check in, see who's doing what. Biggest way to meet folks and have that chance to say Hi is just get involved.
and i thought sunday night was bad, the thought of going to bed and knowing that waking up would mean the last day of fanime...good thing i stayed up all night instead XD
but dang...monday was harsh...and tuesday was worse T~T
ive never felt such bad post-con depression as i did this year.
this year was the best yet for me, im glad i had such a good time!!!
This was my 1st Fanime in 10 years. I took over 1,300 photos, hit up all the signings I wanted to except LM.C (gave up when I saw the line for that 5 hours before), got to shake hands with celebrities, learned a lot of new things (like which characters are with what series, what Ninja is), and had an overall awesome time. I can't say that I feel depressed that it's all over now. End of the con on Monday things were slowly dying, so what else to do but head home and prepare for Tuesday. I still have all the photos I took to rekindle memories and experiences and some awesome songs to loop like Gee and Super Girl that were played at Masquerade. Also a whole bunch of new anime to check out so I can recognize characters when I see them!
NUUU~ cant wait till next year, probably gonna go to another con just to satisfy this need.
Maybe its cause I was in Dealer's Hall when the con officially ended and I had clean up but I didn't feel the PCD. It's weird but I'm still not feeling it. Can't wait till next year though!

Dude, I feel ya! When I was dressed as Riku from the
game series Kingdom Hearts, I felt like so quiet with
my gathering, it was so dull...but the photo shoots I
liked about being at the Kh gathering, and meeting Xion
Sora, and Kairi for the first time! It was very awsome.
The only things I hated at this years convention, was
getting to my gathering late and having to register for
my badge...(Luckly I didn't have to wait in that long ass
2 row line!) The other thing I hated was that I didn't have
much time to chat with the Kh cosplayers, cause I had to
watch my cousin and she went off somewhere else and I
had to find her, Ugh...
I also wanted to take more pictures
of cosplayers but didn't have time to because I had to be
in this skit. I missed out on alot at the con, and hated to
leave! But I have to say, Fanime was a great exspirence
for me, seeing all the wonderfully dressed cosplayers,
taking photoshoots with my Kh gathering, walking around
the convention looking at the different cosplayers and
the stuff in the dealers room, Listening to people play
randum trance music was awsome! And being in a skit
with Sora and Kairi, man I was so nervous, but I will
never forget it. x3
Either then all of that happening, this was my first
Fanime, and it has been really fun! I just wish I made
more friends, took more photo's, buy something in the
dealers rooms, went into the game room, watch people
on Stage Zero more, go to the Black & White ball, go
to the Dance....ahhh, ok I'll stop now. Xp
I did not realized that PCD was a REAL thing. After I left the con Monday noonish, I had gone to work and thought to myself "man that was a cool experience and hopefully it will be more awesome next year"
The next day later is when it hit me. It was back to reality, (which is fine but still feels like I am missing something) it was time to get back to work and start getting ready for summer school.
These couple of days after Fanime, everyday I would think about attending Anime Expo this year just to get that feeling again. What new thing am I going to learn at the panels, being able to see everyone with their awesome cosplays, and having to decide what to buy in the dealer's room, it's a mixture of feeling of anticipation and excitement. Oh well there's always next year.
WAHH.
so today i was like
"hey time to do some laundry 8D"
then i started unpacking my cosplays.. and the Fanime smell was like... on them...
and i got really sad and didn't wanna wash my clothes ;______;........................
/WERID D:
but my friend told me the Fanime funk wasn't bad today.. so i guess it's ok i miss the smell ;_;? xD; ;-;...
i still miss my Soulmates smell too. i hope he's there next year <3.
I was gonna go to ZeroONE in downtown SJ tonight but then it would remind me that Fanime was there last week and I'd get depressed some more.
Fanime went by way too fast. I've been to cons where time seems to go by really slow (ACen and Anime Expo), but I did have a good time at Fanime, but it feels like it just gone by like a split second. I miss it already. I miss my Bay Area buddies.

I don't know about ACen but I think Anime Expo seems longer because they actually only last until 6 at night whereas Fanime just never stops.... and then it does.
I still feel a bit of PCD all the way back from Sakura-Con. Several awesome people met and no way to keep in touch with them, and my next SC will be 2013. Who knows if we'll even remember each other by then.
Yup, I'm going through the same!
My PCD hit me hard as soon as I left San Jose. This was my first Fanime and had one of the best days of my life. Woke up at 6am went to bed at 12am. Now that it has just about been a week I feel a bit better. I still feel some regret from not asking some people to dance during the B&W Ball.
PS. Does anyone know who the Yin cosplayer was on Sunday? I only saw two, but there was a really good one who I took a picture of with Mina and what I believed to be Genma.
to think that exactly one week ago I was still kickin' it with my friends at the con. it was so fun I wish they'd make it 5 Days instead of 4!
I leave early on monday I was pretty sad. The reason why cause my sisters wanted to leave early and I still need to check out some stuff but i didn't get a chance too cause of the gatherings and stuff.
I miss the con but I'm not depressed about it. Probably cause this year was better for me even though I was depressed during the con at some parts.
PCD didn't hit me until Wednesday probably because I had to take a test the day after Fanime which totally sucks btw. But every time I go by the Convention Center I get a little bummed out.
Some of my PCD was lifted today after seeing a few familiar faces at SVGL. =)
It's good to know that some of the people I hang out with at Fanime live in the area and not like >200 miles away.
It's hitting me really badly right now. And I'm worried about whether I can go next year, since I'm off to Oregon for college in the fall. I really hope I can fly out for the holiday weekend. -crosses fingers-
Now I just really wanna work on cosplay... Time to make some progress on my Fourth Doctor costume that I can hopefully wear next year!
