Of Nijikon 2012 and its aftermath
6 min read
As always, skit here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SJPtT… and here: www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=4…
After missing Nijikon 2011 and Otaku 2012 (well, not all of us at least), Zettai decides to return for Nijikon 2012. And what eventful days these have been~
Day -1(wut?) - Thursday
9:15 p.m. - Timisoara train station
Anzai: *carrying panels away from the rain* Fml... -_- (DoriDori: *chanting* Panels....flowers...retarded demons and birds...)
Keiko: Yeah, so we'd like 4 tickets for the 10 p.m. train to Bucharest and...
Ticket lady: Train? What train? Hahahahaha, there is no train, you morons, or at least not a direct one. Here, take this other one with a detour through Alba-Iulia, which, by the way, costs double the price and arrives 4 hours later, or just wait a frickin' day. NEEEXT!
Keiko: *panic* We're taking this one, gimmie your money.
Zettai: But-
Keiko: GIVE ME YOUR F*CKIN' MONEY!!
Zettai: O_O *hands over money* ...
Keiko: SOLD!
*on the train*
Train supervisor: Oh I'm sorry, but I'll have to fine you, because those panels count as additional luggage! 8D
Anzai:*twitch* I'll show you additional luggage...
*later*
Train supervisor: *lawyered*
Anzai: Fuck yeah.
Day 0 - Friday
12:30 a.m.
Zettai: *wake-up in Bucharest* WHO-, WHERE-! WHAT YEAR IS IT?? Oh, we're here...
Once in Bucharest, we firstly reunite with Keiko's (long lost) brother Dan, and also Rei(
), who both volunteered to perform as Kusuriuri. BAM! Shortly after, we meet with our kind host during the festival, Saru (we thank you again for hosting us *bow*). DoriDori however, betrayed us for her hometown, to return on Sunday, so she can make herself useful XD. (DoriDori: Fuck you very much.)
Seeing how the luggage no longer represented a problem, we could now go to the location for some rehearsals, more off stage than on... (we never set foot on that stage more than 3 times, the entire festival). So how did it all go? Err, pretty neat actually. We'll manage, yes~ ^^' (denial)
8:00 p.m.
After this very long and exhausting series of events, Zettai could finally call it a day and head back home. To eat. And take a shower. And sleep. Yes, especially the sleep.
Day 1 - Saturday
7:00 a.m.
Keiko: Ooook people, let's get up though, shall we? Come on, come on~
Zettai: *mumble mumble*
*3 hours later at the location*
Ryoko: Really. That slow. I don't want to imagine what'll happen tomorrow.
Saturday pretty much passed like a normal convention day, checking out the stands, buying figurines (Ryoko: EZIOOOO!!!),*coughexaminingthestageandfixingthepanelscough*, even checking the host club (family reasons obviously, Keiko's bro was one of the hosts :>) and of course, rehearsing in various corners of the location.
8:00 p.m.
Went home because they kicked us out, nothing else!
On another note:
Keiko: Daaaamn peeps, we should totally set our alarm to 5 a.m. this time, you saw the ridiculous amount of time it took us to get ready today! 8D
Zettai: OF COURSE! BRILLIANT!
Day 2 - Sunday
5:00 a.m.
*alarm rings*
Ryoko: Ugh... *turns it off**thinks*"It's oook, I don't have to put it on snooooze, because I will SURELY and DEFINITELY wake-up in half an hour~~ But what about the other alarms?...OH WELL!~" *snore*
*meanwhile*
Anzai: CRAMP!
6:40 a.m.
Ryoko: *wakes up* O_o... I somehow have the feeling that I slept more than half an hour, didn't I?... *looks at clock* YEP! Ok people, GET UP, it's fuckin' 6:30, we're late, AGAIN!
Anzai+Keiko: Huh, what?... WHAT?! HOW THE F-?! SELF-SABOTAGE!! JESUS, SH*T, F*CK!!
8:00 a.m.
*at the metro station with only contact lenses on, because putting our fabulous make-up on would have taken way too much*
Anzai: Is that the right direction?...
Keiko: I think so... Yeah, it's that way.
Metro: Lolnope 8D
Zettai: GODFUCKINGDAMNI-
(meanwhile in a paralel Doriverse: HAHAHA, I'M GONNA ARRIVE BEFORE YOU, SUCKERS!)
9:30 a.m.
Eventually, we manage to arrive at the location (reuniting with exhausted DoriDori and Rei along the way), just in time for 2 rehearsals on stage.
1st rehearsal: one panel fell to the ground~
Anzai: *heart attack*
Ryoko: Well, ain't that a good sign that we're gonna fail magnificently! 8D
Keiko: O_O... I am afraid...
2nd rehearsal: ok, decent.
10:30 a.m.
Moon prism poweeeer...MAKE-UP! (SSJ3 for Anzai and Dan) (DoriDori: Oh don't mind me, I'm just going to clone myself and try to help each and every one of you...)
2:30 p.m.
Well that took longer than 30 seconds~ (DoriDori: My knees hurt from scrubbing the floors...)
3:00 p.m.
And as the cosplay contest started, bricks were shat prior to the performance (O'san: Goddamnit people, I thought you were proffessionals by now! DoriDori: *smacks the old fart* Shut up, you should've known by know what we're like!), because we knew so many things could go wrong, as seen from the rehearsals. But we thought "Hey, if we screw up, we'll just dance it off on Heat Island (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rntqj1…)." and hopped on stage.
8:00 p.m.
After way more positive feedback than we can carry and lots of pics, we return home to pack our bags...and fast, we had a train to catch (Anzai also had an exam... to which he didn't go anyway~) (but not after thanking Saru again for giving us a place to stay and delicious food *bow*).
Meanwhile in Doriland: Bye asshats~ I'm leaving early, can't be bothered.
On a more serious note however, we really did not expect as much as a standing ovation from the audience... it was a wonderful moment! All the positive energy after the skit and even more the following week! We couldn't thank you enough and we hope we can entertain you again soon~*tear**bow*
PS: Mada and Simo, best cosplay volunteers ever!
So for now, peace out!

A new year, a new fest and Zettai is on the loose again.
Firstly, we’ve never thought we could take part in a con that makes you feel like you are part of a warm, familly like, community of anime fans. As the Otaku logo says, “From fans, for fans” was the feeling that lingered all around the convention, from the organizers to the volunteers.
As cosplayers, it was our first time competing at Otaku Fest. We didn’t know what to expect since we’ve been there only as part of the audience, but everything exceeded our expectations, making it a wonderful experience and leaving us with good memories (or stuff to tell to our grandchildren).
The reason we liked it so much wasn’t only because of the well-organized cosplay volunteers (who helped us 100%), but also because the atmosphere was so warm and it felt more like a meeting of old friends that do all the things they like.
It’s sad that none of us had the time to see the other parts of the convention, like the workshops, AMVs and DDR competition, but we would surely have liked to. Unfortunately, we can only describe our cosplay experience:
Even tough there was a small number of cosplayers, many of them had decent costumes. There was a big improvement since Otaku fest 2010.
It's a shame that people are not cosplaying at Otaku more. The spirit of competiton (Anzai: *w*), wonderful prizes (Mitsu: $_$) and the joy of having a more mature audience should inspire more people to come and cosplay. The level should definitelly be raised.
After this year's experience, we as a cosplay group will try and do better shows and come every year, thus encouraging other cosplayers to join us. What Otaku Festival lacked this year in matters of cosplay was not quality as it was numbers.
As for the group’s adventures, this is how our Friday, fridaaay~ and looking forward to the weekend~ passed:
Day 0 – Friday
The jazz band reunites [in chunks…: two came in the morning at 7 a.m.(
, 
)& two in the afternoon at 3 p.m.(
, 
). DoriDori didn’t come because she's a whiny little bitch + she had to stay home in order to save Mitsuki’s ass from school work].
5 p.m.
Once all of the luggage settled, we thought we’d go to the Students’ House to rehearse a little, ya know, get used to the stage and stuff? *wink wink* Yes. The fighting scene was totally lacking coolness/unnatural/stiff/fake etc. cause Mitsu and Keiko over here hadn’t rehearsed enough beforehand (Mitsu+Keiko: Gomeen v_v) + the first part, apart from not being rehearsed enough too, proved not to be even designed properly. (Ryoko: I am nobody…*cries*)
Conclusion:
Harem: We suck o_o.
Anzai: Well ladies, hate to say “I told you so”…but I TOLD YOU SO!
Harem: >_><_<.
Anzai: -_-. Tomorrow you get no sleep ‘till we make this perfect. Case closed, no objections. Let’s go home.
Harem: Okay…
And just when we hoped we’d at least get to sleep a little this time! But nooooo, the damn troll-props had a better idea (problem Zettai?
). Consequently, our Friday night carried out kinda’ like this:
• Anzai working at the Laughing Man mask.
• Ryoko stringing beads for Mitsuki’s Yuuko dress.
• Mitsuki finishing the butterflies for the Yuuko dress.
• Keiko painting the final details on the robot-Tachikoma for Sunday’s performance.
Did we sleep in the end? Welluhm….do 3 hours count? (Mitsu: More like 2 for me. Ryoko: Whoops, sorry ‘bout that, was already dead by the time you came to bed XD.)
Day 1 - Saturday
8 a.m.
Anzai’s very annoying wake-up alarm (which later became very addictive actually o_o) managed to get us out of bed…except for him of course ( Anzai: So what, you were busy with your women preparations anyway!>< Ryoko: I'll have to agree with you here. But just this once. Go back to sleep.).
10 a.m.
Aaaaaand no. Still not ready. Solution? Turbo mode~ (YAAAAY *children’s voice) *5 minutes later* Done. Call the cab.
We spent the first part of the day more separated than together ‘cause of the cosplay contest which took Mitsuki and Keiko away from us most of the time.
*dramatic separation scene*
Anzai+Ryoko: Noooo, don’t leave us heeere!!T_T
Mitsu+Keiko: *manly spirit* It’s ok. We’ll be fine. Go on without us!
Also, we are proud to congratulate mademoiselle Mitsuki for tingling our narcissistic senses with 3rd place as Yuuko Ichihara >: *glomp* (Ryoko: Or else she would’ve been scalped. I didn’t string those beads for nothing. ><)
5 p.m.
Home. Busybusybusybusybusybusybusybusy!!! But them silly children thought they’d sleep properly at least TONIGHT. Awwww, how sweet~ Well NO! Not this time either! Get to work!
The 1st part of the night passed with the rehearsals (mostly for the fighting scene):
Director/Anzai: Again. Fake. Again. Too stiff. Again. Too fast. Again. Too slow. Again. Better… Again. Perfect!! Let’s do that one more time so you’ll remember it! O_O… NO! TOO STIFF, TOO FAST, TOO FAKE! WTF! AGAIN!! *rips his hair off*
Mitsu+Keiko: *collapse*
Ryoko: … Oooook, I’ll go practice alone if you’ll excuse me
…
11 p.m.
Next up: bodypainting (aww yeaah)!
Ryoko: Oi, Mitzi, get comfortable, it’s gonna take a while >_><_<.
Mitsu: F*ck.
*5 minutes later*
Mitsu: *snore*
Ryoko: ….. I hate you.
Nobody EVER thought this would take all night……. (Ryoko: Especially ME! Never again this torture! All my sleep was brutally taken away!!><;_; ) And while poor poor Ryoko was sacrificing her deep necessity to sleep in order to paint Puppet Master - Mitsuki (who managed to catch a cold for staying naked all night), Anzai was finishing his mask. While doing so, his head suddenly fell on the floor, successfully drooling all over the carpet in only 10 minutes of sleep ^^. Keiko? Keiko was somewhere...around…o_o
Day 2 - Sunday
5.am.
Heheheh… already short on time? PANIC!
8.30 a.m.
Finally! Managed to get ready and leave… leave for different destinations that is: Ryoko at the hypermarket to get some balloons/props, and the rest to the Students’ House to do some final minute rehearsing. After the much annoyed Ryoko had arrived too (Ryoko: I don’t wanna talk about it >_>…), we could present ourselves to the judging.
The last thing we could do was rehearse in various corners of the convention before hopping on stage.
Prior to the awarding, we waited quietly like a bunch of well-behaved children that we are (Anzai: *pffft*)...until all 4 of us fell asleep in the audience…(oh snap!)
Stage impressions:
After so little practice, everyone thought they had screwed up. That’s why we were kinda’ shocked when hearing we won first place along with the girls from Visual Madness o_o. *bow*
And we went home..so damn tired @_@. Mitsu & Ryoko slept for like 3-4 hours, while boss-Anzai and second-in-command-Keiko went out to have fun...like true men XD (Anzai: And real-time zombies with no need for sleep or food. BRAAAINZZ!!).
All in all, we wish for more conventions like this to come..and maybe a photoshoot o_o (couldn’t do one on the spot ‘cause Mitsu’s body paint went down the drain…).

Z.A. rants about Nijikon 2010
4 min read
Our skit of doom can be seen here -www.youtube.com/watch?v=2plsYY… and here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K2RBv…
Nijikon 2010: First convention where
(aka 'special kids with special needs) officially went public (
: came out of the closet to be exact. , and : *smack* DoriDori: Ow.) . And to be honest, it was full of interesting events. So, our weekend adventures per days...
Day 0 - Friday
10.00 p.m.
Boss,
, was escorted from the train station home by Ryoko and DoriDori. But little did we know that a full night of prop making (mainly for Vincent) awaited us (so little time for reunion luvs T^T!)...Thus Keiko and DoriDori sacrificed their beautifully beautiful beauty sleep for an emo vampire XD.Day 1 – Saturday
8.00 a.m.
Harem: *wakes up boss* Come on, rise and shine, today you’ll be Vincent~~~
DoriDori: *waltzes into the room with Vincent's cape* I BURNED YOUR CAPE!!
Boss: *content* Mhmmm… *gets back to sleep*
Harem: GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!
Boss: YES MA’AMS!!!
10.00 a.m.
Crap…we were late and we knew it. Therefore, Tirania went turbo in order to finish Anzai in time for the craftsmanship judging.
Result: Boss was hot and ready to face the con. Tirania rules. The fangirls now represented a problem (whoops O_o…)
Mitsu: *grabs flame-thrower* Ready to defend the boss, ladies?
The rest: Os'! (DoriDori: HAI YAI FORCES!!!)
8.00 p.m.
FINALLY HOME! We collapsed in bed…literally…(DoriDori: and spooned.)
Day 2 – Sunday
5.00 a.m. (yeah...5...)
Tirania: *turbo-mode enabled yet again*
WakeupbastardsIdontwantadaylikeyesterdaytoeverhappenagaincomeonwakeupandmoveyourassestothebathroomNOW!
......................
DoriDori: Why doesn't anyone mention me?
Jazz Band: Because you fail. ._.
DoriDori: Touche.

Up next: hairpin fest (because you should NEVER underestimate your wig…*shivers*) followed by make-up fest and dress-up fest.
9.00 a.m.
Pimp: I’m the boss so I get to lie around 8D!
Mitsu: You get to pick Hana from the metro station ^^!
Pimp: Jeez, fine … >_>
*2 hours later*
Pimp: *panics* WTFAREYOUDOINWEREGONNABEFUCKINLATEMOVEMOVEMOVE!
Us: *aside* Who’s been lying around just now? >_><_<
Eventually, at 1.00 p.m., Tirania, DoriDori and Anzai stayed behind in the apartment to finish packing up the remaining stuff (and clean up), while Grammar Nazi and Jews-of-a-Jew (that somehow sounds like a really bad combo 8D), teamed up with our little helpers (
& 
), went to the Nijikon meeting place.Made it in time for one rehearsal and then hopped on stage.
About Z.A.’s experience on stage:
Basically, everyone just went into character and... performed ._. (after shitting bricks beforehand
). And honestly, we weren’t expecting we’d actually win anything… *bow*(That horse is and will remain a source of nightmares,though o_o…)
DoriDori: Chillax, he made our skit special
, Umineko needed some mindfuck anyway and now we got it. Plus, we were missing Goat-kuns too. Up next: Superspecialawesome (c) photoshooting! (which'll be just a liiiitle bit *coughmorethanalittlebitcough* late 'cause boss over here is temporarily wanted by the law, and consequently laying low in the wild wild west.
)Until then, we're looking forward to your support! *Ginyu force pose*
