holytoastrWinner of the cosplay at the con!
Good evening, everyone. I am Seguchi Tohma, former member of Nittle Grasper and current President of NG Studios. The management has asked me to share a few
words of advice to people to whom this is their first convention.
1. Stalk the guests. They like that. Take it from me: it's not love if it's not obsessive. If no guests are available, the nearest cosplayer will do.
2. Be thankful to any men who wear dresses and/or wings. Not only are they brave, but their very presence lets you think that you are not the geekiest person in the room.
3. Man can not live on bread alone. However, it is possible to survive on pocky.
4. There is no such thing as a cosplayer. The people you see are their characters. Treat them as such. Pay no mind to the fact that there may be more than one of a character. On a completely unrelated note, I will be accepting payment from any singer who wishes
to audition for NG Studios after the show.
5. Don't worry about running out of money. Most vendors are willing to exchange merchandise for…certain favors. The specifics of these favors vary from vendor to vendor, but usually involve cat ears.
6. Due to the prevalence of cosplaying, crossdressing, bishounen, wigs, wings, and other gender-confusing activities, please keep this in mind: if it looks like a girl, acts like a girl, dresses like a girl, and sounds like a girl… it's probably Quatre. And no, I'm not Quatre.
7. In the end, when you find yourself out of money, wearing cat ears, and spouting the three words of Japanese you know, remember this: Becoming an anime fan was not a choice. It was not fate. It was inevitable as a force of nature. If it had to be called a word, it would be…gravitation.
