WELCOME ONE AND ALL! Seriously..... O_O 432 new watchers just because of the silly .gif we made!?! Haha wow that thing went waaaay farther then we thought it would. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. It was fun to reenact.

And thanks for all the llamas!!!

Anime Expo 2012 was EPICALLY AWESOME! It was full of Avatar this year and that was so much fun. Here's a fun picture report of the great con experience.

The GAang

~ Toph,

~ Zuko,

~ Suki,

~ Sokka,

~ Katara, Alvin ~ Aang

Day 1 - Friday

I cosplayed Sokka, Tiana cosplayed San (it was her very first convention

), and my convention hip buddy

cosplayed Mulan!

The convention was VERY crowded. Notice Fiddlesticks! Seriously the best cosplay I saw there the whole con. He was even on those bouncing stilts!

The Korra/Avatar gathering was extremely popular. Look how many Korra's there are! O_O HAHA and notice poor Tahno... run away Tahno run away!

wore her Suki and we found another great Katar and Toph. AND Toph was actually Toph size

BEST SHIRT EVER!!!!!!!!

So intense.

How could you miss!?! He was two feet infront of you!

Dance San dance!

Water Tribe, whut? Alvin cosplaying Aang.

OH MY GOSH YES!!!!!

This is all because you didn't cosplay as cabbage man this year Victor!!! XD

Man I wish this photo turned out better. Such wonderful quality lost in photo capture space.

Yeah that's my Suki <3

The gals

The way this picture turned out, SO EPIC!

If you two get married, I will personally see to it that your children grow up under the influence of Sokka's instincts.

You know this couple is great. Mai's looking awful mysterious here.

Come on Suki where's my kiss??? Oh swooning are we? Well you know, I've been working out, grabbin a few tree branches and doing a few chin touches every now and then. Nothing major.

This is what happens when you drink too much cactus juice....

Photo progression time!.... yeah you know what this is....

HAHAHAHA Aang.

WHAT do you think you are doing kissing my sister!?! *boomerang slap*

SUKI!!!

<3 Come on you know they're meant to be

XD TOPH!

Okay, forget about setting up camp. I'm finding the softest couch and going to sleep.

Day 2 - Saturday

LIFE SIZE HOTWHEELS LOOP NO WAY!?!?! The X-Games were going on right outside of Anime Expo. Most con goers found it annoying. I thought it was awesome. They turned the streets of L.A. into a race track!

cosplaying as a Mew Ginjinka

Awww mom and son.

cosplayed as Tsubaki this day and we found the best Black Star cosplayed by

Soooo we thought how fun would it be if cosplayers ran up to photographers and asked for their picture instead. So we did it! It was super fun. They always looked so confused XD.

Favorite picture!

I tried to get a super epic shot of Tsubaki in her Enchanted Sword mode! I don't think the picture holds up to the cosplayer though.

The city was a really cool location but sadly non of our cosplays really fit the city atmosphere. Closets one was Soul Eater.

HAHAHA one great part about the X-Games was that some of the guys going to the X-Games freaked out when they saw our Avatar group. They were all like OH MY GOSH it's Avatar!?! Can we get a picture with you? And then we were all, wait YOU guys know about Avatar??? That was great because they weren't expecting to see cosplayers so they were super happy when they saw us. We didn't get any of Avatar X-Game fan pics but some guys did jump in on our Tsubaki photoshoot XD.

Day 3 - Sunday

Look who it is! It's Chouji ~

! He came to save the day as bag holder/photographer

Oh my gosh. Ouran as actual guys!!! And actual twins!!! This is amazing!

Amon to you and you can't take my bending away fool because I have none! What now?!

Going through the swamp, hacking it down.

Oh Katara. You think you're so funny, but you're not.

I didn't mean it! Please Katara, ahhhh, choking, let go. Again, wish this was a better quality shot.

See siblings can get along..... sometimes.

Waterbending can't happen without water!!! Parking garage will be the death of us all!

DAH! We found a Princesses Yue and a Hakoda! Well actually they were cosplaying Sokka but I guess everyone was calling them Hakoda so they just went with it. XD

as Princess YUE!!!! <3

BOOMERANG shall save us!

*whispers* THE Avatar!

APPA! SLOW DOWN!!! AHHHHHH!!! FALLING!

Pulling a Eurobeat shot haha.

Eghhhh, oogies.

The awesome tree chair!

No one could resist sitting in it.

No one!

AH BOOMERANG! You do always come back!

Oogies. OOGIES!

Day 4 - Monday

Went back to Naruto this day. Naruto is definietly dieing out I'd say. I'm not even near to being caught up with the story. But we were glad we saw the few cosplayers we did. They were actually really nice too. Not your typical crazy insane Narutard that scares everyone away which was a super bonus I thought.

~ Hinata,

~ Naruto,

~ Sakura

This picture made cosplaying Naruto again totally worth it! I just wish I had taken my coat off dang it.

THE BEST SASUKE I'VE EVER FOUND!!!! An actual guy and he was British. I like the accent Sasuke you should keep it. (I still need to trim my wig)

More and more cosplayers kept jumping into the photo. It was great!

And what's Anime Expo without ending it by going to Little Tokyo for some ramen, as Naruto even. This is turning into a tradition. I took Hinata on a date. I wish I had money to pay for it though.....
