Yeah. It ended way too fast. D:

It is weird to end with so much energy and excitement when monday is normally just the down day.
It felt like the con could keep going for a few more days.
Lol. What if con was a week? XD; Besides being expensive for rooms...

I am still wanting to take pictures of more cosplayers.

Seriously! I'm not ready to go back normal life again. Going to Fanime for the past couple of days made it like a second home...

Time to wake up to reality. =_=

Yeah, its a bad feeling indeed. Even though I only spent 4 days with my friends in the hotel room. I'm too used to them being there all the time, too used to the hotel room itself..and yes far too used to the aura that the convention hall and dealers room give off....but those memories we made will always be with us, and next year will be around before any of us even notice it.

It's like jetlag for cons - conlag :(
I'm seriously still on contime, so I do hope I don't go to sleep at 3:30 in the morning tonight...
But yeah, it ended way too quickly, but '08 was epic!

not to mention the karaoke ;_; *sings heart out*

I'm seriously sad too. Remember the guy with Melty Blood on his laptop playing in the hallway? Well, that was me. I was having a lot of fun playing with new players. Now, I'm sad because I have to play with my friends again. It won't be fun as challenging someone you haven't fought before. Plus the gaming was good, with the exception of no PC gaming. I'm so depressed right now. Fanime ending too fast...  :(

P.S. Look for a Shiki Tohno from Melty Blood next year. (I'm gonna cosplay him.)

I see I'm not the only one feeling it came and it gone so fast.  Where did all the time go?  I can't believe 4 days has passed.  I was sad once the closing ceremony was coming up.  Many of the cosplayers gone home and smaller crowd.  Viewer room after viewer room closed down and last but not least, the artist alley. 

I can't believe how time flew.  I wish there was more time to meet and greet people and enjoy the con more.   Well, another year to go but in the meantime, we can attend the local anime clubs.  Has many attended No Name Anime?  I have yet to attend.

Like I said in the feedback thread, convention center packed with 10,000+ nerds...I will miss that.

It's going to take a little while to readjust to hanging out at places where maybe 1 out of every 10-15 people you see is into anime.

It doesn't help that some of the friends I make at Fanime aren't from around here.

Post by: Hylia on May 27, 2008, 07:51:39 AM
I had a really great time this year.. I flew from Greece a few months earlier to make it!
.. And to hit anime expo.
BUT NONETHELESS..
It was awesome. Aaaaaaaand now its back to work T__T..
The thing that really gets to me was that I never got to really talk to this girl I met.
Kept wondering if I'd see her around after the first time, but I never did ;(
It first started off as a joke in the group when we were just hanging out- "MAAAAAAAAAAAN. Lets go find Tifa!" "MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN. Where's Tifa?"
She was NOWHERE.

Later I found out she thought I was cute (UNLESS TAYLOR WAS !@#$ING WITH ME. Hi Taylor!)
And her name is Alex.
Which is a hot name.
Because its mine too.



Anyway, hows everyone else's bitter taste of reality? ;D

OMG im back to work! T__T  let's see....8:30am, I should either be up walking the halls, playing some games in the arcade, watching something from the video rooms, chatting with friends, grabbing a frap the from the 24hr starbucks (yay!), or getting another hour or two of sleep before getting up for a cosplay gathering.

My greatest memories were when I hung out with friends again. I mean, wow, it was weird how much fun we had.... chatting into the night, playing uno, making fun of everyone....sorry dean, but it was all in good fun! I miss you guys...um, even though I'll be seeing some of you again this friday >_>. GOOD TIMES! ahh!

This year was the first year out of many that I went to all four days of the convention. It was a lot of fun, yet very draining. Maybe I was cranky to some people. Sorry about that!!! 

When I got home Monday I took a four hour nap. I was kind of bummed when I woke up. I listened some FFVII themes and started uploading pics from the con. I'll share them with you all soon! :)

Post by: Glitch on May 27, 2008, 09:39:17 AM
I havn't felt this bad of PCD in years.
This con went way too fast. Then again it is true that flies when your having fun.
And yes as G.S. said, 10,000+ nerds. Nothing like going into a room of people and thinking the exact same thing when you see a funny image on screen.
I'm still not ready to go back to the "real" world.

I'm such a pussy....I dropped a few tears when I sat down in my car...that was the beginning of my post-con depression.

I didn't even do what everyone else did, as I worked ConOps for a bit over 30 hours....so I didn't make to many friends, but those that I did...:( I R Sad now.

I wish I could have met some more people :(..I wish I could have spent more time awake and laughing and smiling...

I wish I could have seen more smiles, felt more warmth...Well, theres only one thing to do.

Time to start working on next years cosplay...

While that is true, keep in mind that you and they and many others, all traveled that distance and greater to meet at the con.  With that in mind, is 45 minutes or even 45 hours really that much to stop you from seeing them at some point?

Money, transportation, and time are all things I know people struggle with, but where theres a will, theres a way, and while this massive runon sentence continues to blow my mind, I am currently in the process of working out some sort of get together in the near future.  Probably in SJ or SF, or somewhere.

I'll keep everyone posted.

and if anyone has any awesome pictures, please send them to me if possible.  Drew.krausen at gmail dot com

I'm making something and well, I need everyones help.

Although I have attended fanime for 5 years, this is the first time that I was totally free to experience the con - from Thursday nite to Monday afternoon.  It ended way too soon, and returning to normal life is a real downer.  It would be cool if there were some place to go to keep this spirit alive, like a anime/gaming/cosplay nite club or something.  "A mini con every nite!" would be the slogan.  But i digress.  I had a wonderful time, made great friends, and look forward to fanime '09!!

Well, the year will go by fast and we will be at FanimeCon once again lol.

No more interesting pictochat =(!!

Bleh. I'm glad to see a PCD. I wasn't sure if everyone else felt the same way afterwards too. Hehe.

It's just....bleh, you come back from such a friendly place, where everyone accepts you and is soo nice..and fun.. to a place where no one knows you and doesn't try to know you. X___X

Anyway, I had an awesome time ...this being my first time to Fanime! I will definitely be coming back next year ><!!!!!! I think I will bring more friends too so they can experience this awesomeness as well!!

Post by: IshokuOsero on May 27, 2008, 01:49:09 PM
It was the first Con I went to, and I definitely have PCD. I woke up this morning wondering what panels I'd be going to today, only to open my eyes and see that the convention center indeed is not outside my bedroom window. Rats. Everything around here closes at nine... now I'm just going to be back to being online all night instead of doing fun stuff with tons of other nerds. Around here, I get weird looks if I'm just wearing platform boots. I miss not even sticking out in ears and a belled collar, so it'll take some getting used to being back to normal and ignoring comments from passers-by.

Even though mostly I had gone for An Cafe (seeing as I'm from the Chicagoland area), I'm thinking that I might want to go to Fanime next year also. According to my friend that came with, it was hella bigger and better than ACen will ever be. >.>

As I was driving down in 280 north back to san francisco with my friends, it was pretty much depressing. talking about what happened this year, how much fun it was. my birthday was on sunday of fanime yes!! i pulled a all nighter sunday night and was working on the filming i was making for fanime. i slept 4 30 pm monday and finally just woke up now lolz.. 21 hours of sleep! and now still feel depressed about it's over, plus got to go to regular work..
Title: Re: POST-CON DEPRESSION..
Post by: rude32 on May 27, 2008, 02:00:40 PM
Yes PCD is very depressing, especially when you get home and realize you still have your con badge on, or when you stop to get something to eat on the way home and they ask about it and your like "whoa I forgot I'm no longer at the con, so why am I still wearing my badge?" It's like it has become a part of you.
Title: Re: POST-CON DEPRESSION..
Post by: VampireAlucard on May 27, 2008, 02:53:19 PM
I'm definitely feeling it. I was as soon as I went to the train station to go head back up where I live I was feeling it. I just wanted to stay at the con with my Cactuar holding a sign that said "Hug me, I grant wishes". I miss being able to wear that sign in public and not get any weird looks.

I've been home for 15 minutes...and all I want to do is get in my car, drive back to San Jose and sit infront of the convention center until it's time for fanime again!   :P

I had a total blast this year.  Thank you to everyone who stopped me and said "Hi"  you guys really made the convention special for me!
Title: Re: POST-CON DEPRESSION..
Post by: Hylia on May 27, 2008, 03:11:03 PM
Not even all that much "PCD" (that I just understood, lolz) here after I slept on it! Even before that, I was forced into going to a party; so things weren't that gloomy~
Just wish I could have gotten to know "Tifa" better ;D!
Never felt that way before o.o;


We all need to like, put our money together and buy out a little island.
And live there.
And stuff.

UGGGH, tell me about it. When we were driving back from Fanime, heading back on the free way, it hit me. And it was soooo depressing..
Everything...everything just looked so...normal. The monotone buildings, cloudy skies, normally dressed people walking down the street...D8.

I MISS FANIME SO MUCH! The energy! The people! The randomness! This year was really good!

Now I'm back at school, back to reality, and it's so incredibly lame  :'(.

Also, I'm incredibly sleepy, I was so absent minded and fell asleep so many times during class XD.

Is it just me or does Fanime feel like..AGES AGO? It was just yesterday Q_Q
Title: Re: POST-CON DEPRESSION..
Post by: Nosferatu on May 27, 2008, 03:58:23 PM
It hit me pretty hard last night, when I realized that there was no rave to be at until 4AM, and no friends left to giggle with until dawn. I actually had to get up and go to work today... and no one at work really "gets" the whole con thing, so I can't explode at them about it. Gotta keep it bottled up for another year.

Anyone going to AX or Sacanime this year? I'll be at Sacanime for sure, and still thinking about AX.
Title: Re: POST-CON DEPRESSION..
Post by: anomaly on May 27, 2008, 04:26:33 PM
Ill be hitting Sacanime I believe, considering its only about 25 to 35 minutes from me anyways.

I just hate laying down in my bed at night alone, no sounds, and knowing that I can't just walk back to the con to say hi to someone with an encouraging heart filled hug.
Title: Re: POST-CON DEPRESSION..
Post by: Kaura117 on May 27, 2008, 04:48:33 PM
PCD can be dealt with. Summer's almost here, folks, and even if you can't scrounge up the money for another con quicklike (I was planning to go to AX this year, but my budget is screaming otherwise right now), you can at least organize local meetups via these forums. There are movie openings, arcades, local anime clubs, LAN establishments, ect ect ect. Instead of wallowing in PCD, do something about it.

What, me? What am I doing about it? I'm trudging through finals, thanks all the same. >_> And working. But, really. NorCal Bay Area folks- FREAKING "THE FALL." IT HAS CHARLES DARWIN AS ONE OF ITS LEADS! MUST. SEE.
Title: Re: POST-CON DEPRESSION..
Post by: chikhra on May 27, 2008, 05:50:20 PM
;^; much sadness

This was my first real anime-only con, I've been to Comicon a bunch of times, but it's nowhere near as fun or as personal and colorful as Fanime is. Darn american comic book nerds stay in their caves all year, paling and paling, and come to dilude the anime crowd there :<

I regret a LOT, like missing all of the dance lessons, not getting to see any panels or any of the masquerade @x@, not getting some of the swag I wanted to (I didn't have my wallet with me for the one me-mahself-and-I shopping time I had! Sorry to everyone in the artists alley I ended up rainchecking!), not getting to be there for Friday, and not spending more time on my costumes (all three were about two weeks in the making, stupid finals).  Also wish I'd taken more pictures, and given/gotten moar free hugs. GYUAGH! It all went by so fast!!!

I did, however, get to doing the most important thing. Got to finally meet my online luff after about a year of a long-distance relationship and an even longer online friendship :). Fanime is an AWESOME atomosphere to spend time like that in, we shared pocky over the buzz of the dealers hall x3

Gyurhg. Need a mental health day. Or something to get rid of this downer. Virtual hugs to everyone here *HUUUUG*

By the way. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS make time to change out of costume before your flight. ;^; I didn't have time and ended up having to go through airport security in my Temari outfit. Or lack of it. D: It sucked, had to send most of it through the x-ray (including the wig D8, and the fan, which they bent!) and stand there rather awkwardly in a tanktop and shorts with my hair looking like a birdsnest of bobbypins. Not fun (for me at least :P)

Well, it's only about 350 days until Fanime again. Hope to see you then!

PS: anyone else going to Comicon? WE NEED MORE ANIME TO FIGHT THOSE DC COMIC-GOERS DARNIT!

At Fanime, we were accepted for the way we dress and the anime we loved.

Post by: Moonblossom on May 27, 2008, 06:10:09 PM
I'm sitting in the airport heading home, and I'm trying so hard not to bawl. For me it's more than just Fanime itself, my best friend lives several thousand miles away and I usually see him only at cons. Saying goodbye was so hard this morning...

This was my first anime convention EVAR! I'm really proud to say that I had a amazing time. My otaku levels truly went over 9000.

I do regret that I didn't get to do everything that fanime had to offer this year, I was mostly with my friends at the dealer's room and the gaming room. Allthough I did attend the masquerade and the An Cafe concert. The masq was alright, some of the skits really really well done, and I'm not even going to comment on how many times I've seen the haruhi ending theme dance... The An Cafe concert rocked my pants. I've always listened to Antic Cafe on and off, but seeing them live nearly made me cry T_T. It was just too epic for me...

CANT WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!

This was my third Fanime, but also my best. I had such a great time. I competed both in the karaoke contest and masquerade for the first time. I hung out with a lot of friends, met a lot of people. And best of all I met Gainax and got Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's signature. That was so incredibly special to me. I will never forget this year's Fanime. Another great thing about it was I felt like my confidence was increased so much. I'm usually pretty shy and have stage fright, but I was able to start conversations with many people at the con that I had never met before (everyone is so nice!) and my stage fright was nearly gone at the contests. I am lucky that I have prom to look forward to next Saturday or I might feel a bit depressed, but overall this year was an extremely satisfying experience.

I'll be at Comic-Con and Anime-Expo! Yeah, the badges are way expensive, but I think this needs to happen to calm down the large crowds right now. A-X is gonna be weird this year, over at the LA convention Center... as I stated in other forums, I don't think this is a safe or smart idea.
This was my first time at Fanime, though, and I highly enjoyed it!

When I think of Anime Expo, I think of a totally different; more unfriendly of an environment.

But I'll still be going! Because a con, is a con ;D!

I am glad I took yesterday off from work, I pretty much stayed in bed the whole time. Did anybody get that 12 monkeys virus that was spreading around on Sunday/Monday? My poor brother and husband got it :( .

I... don't have PCD, oddly enough. Then again, this year wasn't as good as last year for me. I mean, it wasn't BAD but it wasn't as GREAT as '07 was for me.

Oh well.

It hit me pretty hard last night, when I realized that there was no rave to be at until 4AM, and no friends left to giggle with until dawn. I actually had to get up and go to work today... and no one at work really "gets" the whole con thing, so I can't explode at them about it. Gotta keep it bottled up for another year.

Anyone going to AX or Sacanime this year? I'll be at Sacanime for sure, and still thinking about AX.

I'll be at Sacanime for sure on the Saturday. There's no way I won't be there, especially with Crispin Freeman being there. Plus it's only about 2 hours away. I would love to go to AX but I dunno if that one will happen.

I just realized that AX is literally right around the corner. There is no way I can pay for another Fanime scale trip so soon after Fanime. Looks like I'll just be attending Sacanime. Our group hasn't figured out how many days we'll be there but we know we will at least be there for Saturday. Haven't decided if I'll cosplay to that one and what I will cosplay as if I go.

I live in Sacramento, so Sacanime is kind of a given, especially since it's so cheap. I love my setup. I go to Santa Clara University, so I'm in San Jose during Fanime, and I live in Sacramento so I'm there during Sacanime. It's pretty sweet.

Every year as I'm driving back home, I look over my shoulder and start tearing up as I see the convention and the hotels disappear from view. I was almost in tears by the time I hit San Francisco :(
This year went by MUCH to fast. Before you knew it, it was Monday and you're struggling to get your things packed and hit the road. It didn't help that I had to be at work the following morning ( and I work at a bank, so it's soooooo boring sitting here ) I hate this small hometown of mine. I miss all the crazy, nerdy fans and the lively atmosphere. This place lacks all of that. I can't wait for next year!

It makes me cry I miss everyone so much.
The part that makes me sad the most is that I have to leave everyone and go back to the mountian crack of califonia that is
Northern California.
I will try to look at the bright side I had a good time but I still have PCD.OK.*sob*
AAHHH!! But at least I got to see people that I havn't seen in two years that does make me happy.
For the most part I didnt see anyone that I did not like.

The internet show ./shutdown will have a booth...my ex left me for the producer of ./shutdown...long story...she could have beaten me with a bar of soap in a sock and that would have been more appropriate than what she did...

so, I have a slight distaste for the guy because he could have prevented allot of the bs by just convincing her to breakup with me before they began the honeymoon phase while we were still dating...I figured it out and left her myself, but it was really the other way around.

Apart from PCD, which I am still suffering from, I'm really mad at myself for the amount of money I spent during the entire con. I tell myself I will not overspend, and what do I do? *throws money away!* Now I'm trying to save up for Anime Weekend Atlanta in September, but my bills are getting up there.

Crispin Freeman is the main reason I am going to Sacanime. It would be awesome to get a big group of Hellsing cosplayers, I would cosplay as a Hellsing character, but wouldn't know who to go as. A Tales of Symphonia group would be awesome too. People who have played that game should be familiar with Crispin Freeman's role in that.

I mean all my friends are either in SJC or LA.
It makes me cry I miss everyone so much.
The part that makes me sad the most is that I have to leave everyone and go back to the mountian crack of califonia that is
Northern California.
I will try to look at the bright side I had a good time but I still have PCD.OK.*sob*
AAHHH!! But at least I got to see people that I havn't seen in two years that does make me happy.
For the most part I didnt see anyone that I did not like.
But I still miss every single one of you and I hope you all enjoyed your selves.

"mountian crack" good way to describe where I live in Northern California. Where in Northern California are you from?

I'm not depressed so much as I am bored out of my mind. My job allows me to work from home, but I only have clients a three days a week. Fanime was a nice break from the monotony. Hell, I'm thinking about getting a secondary job (screw school.....) just so my mind doesn't implode.

Name the spot and I'll bring my cosplay. XD
Places to cosplay at:
1. Little Tokyo in Downtown LA. Why? Cos I sometimes see people doing it there.
2. Disneyland. Why? I actually see some people with Naruto Headbands walking around. Plus, if you go to California Adventure, there is this area where you can run around on rope bridges and stuff!
3. Around Comic-Con during Comic-Con. Why? I know it's expensive and all the hotels are sold out, but if you want to cosplay, you can do it here, around the con, at the outdoor mall, by the fountains, etc. There are lots of places and you don't even need a ticket!

After the con everything seems so slow. I'm not runnning from place to place to see a video or waiting in line talking to people. Its so much different. This year was my first con but I wish I was at another one right now.

Its not a bad idea to cosplay at Disneyland.

But ya know, my PCD is starting to fade because I'm currently looking into a venues to host "minicon" ^_^

I'm thinking of looking for somewhere between sac, SJ, and SF, so if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to let me know.  I'll get a site together with some ideas in the coming days..I'll keep you all posted

Cause it will be special, because everyone attending must help out in one way or another.  hehe..wow this is going to take a while to get in order...but i think it could be a wonderful learning experience...if anyone actually shows up/gets in on it with me :P

Still bitter with comic con? How can that be?!?!?! SAD DAYS!!!! hehehehehe
I understand. I heard that a lot of people weren't allowed in, which sucks. But yeah. It grew really fast since I first started going. It's still the con I have to go to though, cos a lot of my friends go to that one, it brings all the industries together. But yeah.
But still, I would love to see Fanime grow larger, specifically in the Artist Alley area. This is by far, from what I've seen, its strong point, probably the best set up for artist alley. Comic-Con is meh cos it's mostly people already in the industry and it's usually stuff you've already seen... or they aren't even at their table... and AX's artist alley last year was a mess.... Bad layout. But yeah.

I was crying when I left. Fanime just seemed like another world, one I belonged in. Where you ate all your favorite foods, met all your favorite fictional characters, and had fun. Where people don't look at you weirdly when you Caramelldansen, and even join in. Where you can recieve hugs and kind words for no reason. It made me so upset to leave, especially since my mom was angry because I didn't study over the weekend and flunked my science test. :P But now I know this world exists, and every year, we can all spend it together, like a happy dream. 'kay, I'm done being mushy and cliche.

I think if you still have post-con depression maybe its REAL depression, check yo self foos!

anyway sure fanime was sad but it didnt hit me, it only hits like your first two times or so but after that you get used to it.

Unless you have friends like I do that live far away *retardo heart to jun and mikey*

Fanime is as fun as you make it. The more fun, the harder to let go. And this year was very hard to let go. ^^;
I never want to get used to going to fanime as if it's some annual chore. Then it ceases to exist for me.
