Some of us lovely people who may be reading this are fascinated with gaming, anime, manga and cosplaying. And those who couldn’t come to the comic con, your favorite journalist, Mal, brings to you an interview with a fellow flawless, magical person who is a proud member of many Q. Why did you go? fandoms involving those interests I just mentioned and which totally slayed it in the Middle Film and Comic Con A. Generally, I love comic con. I've been 2016 on April 7 to 9. Did you go to Comic con? Let us know c: into it for as long as I remember when it involved video games, anime, cosplaying and manga. Especially when I heard about being able to meet people like me and cosplay as my favorite character, I just couldn't say no. Most of the time, people who are into the things as I am are either neglected or out casted, and to find a community that thrives and connects to you at the same interests, there is no way you’d miss a chance to make a new friend. Q. Did you meet your favorite cosplayers, artists, etc.? A. Yes and it was an amazing feeling and opportunity. Though the wait in the long lines is a drag, as well as sometimes the famous people brought up aren’t well known, except for when they brought the Deadpool creator over or such. Q. How did it feel like meeting them? A. I was a little nervous at first. They're very famous and such, and you'd like to make a good impression. But in the end they're like any other cool person so they'll be confident with you. Q. How did you feel when you arrived there? Was there a long line? A. Comic con is a big deal. Obviously there is a huge line, but I skip it with my special pass. With all the excitement and anticipation and chatter and seeing so many various people with different backgrounds and cosplays ranging from different to the familiar fandoms almost makes you feel at home. You get to meet new people and get to know new shows or stories, and it’s thrilling. Even if it’s a long line, the fun starts from there, people start talking to you and getting to know you and it’s such a great feeling when they ask for your pictures.
