"Its all Escapism" a very excellent article says "The sox winning the world series really change your life?It might make you happy and fill you with pride, but it probable won't get your dream job or fund a trip around the world. In the same sense, watching anime can also be a very important hobby - one that shapes your world view , and makes your heart go all a- flutter -- but in the end, its a fantasy, a way to transcend the mundane rhythms of regular, boring life for a little while, and thats okay, we all need something escapist to cling to a time."
This quote illustrates that some people go to Anime Conventions to escape reality, but if you haven't experienced something before and just criticized it, it won't be credible unless you experience it YOURSELF.
One can learn different things and realize that anime lovers do have a life. What the author of the article said about anime lovers is not true. I do respect that people have opinions, but for anime lovers the convention is just a hobby.
A hobby won't shape your world view of things. There's nothing wrong with liking anime , and its something one can really enjoy and love. Anime lovers can be regular , ordinary every day people. Some can be doctors and read anime for fun or some can be lawyers and read anime on their breaks. ANIME IS FOR EVERYONE.

The doors swing open "woossh" people hurry in one after another,pictures hanged up from wall to wall posters and flyers swinging from the leg of the stairs. In one direction there's Hello Kitty and Spiderman taking pictures with Cat Woman.

There was a crowd of people at a stand taking a look at a 1934 marvel book. There in the middle was a sqeeky clean glass box twinkling in the bright sun shining down, a man in white gloves reveals the one and only of its kind. People taking pictures in AMAZE, EXCITEMENT everyone in a state of shock. The crowd increases every time getting BIGGER, BIGGER. Escaping the crowed wasn't easy. It was amazing to see a one of a kind book but seeing something else would be great to.
About.com quotes" The idea of a whole bunch of adult anime fans dressed up as their favorite character makes most grown men and women's eyes roll-- or it makes them want to head down to the convention center with a camera and get their picture taken with those dressed in truly outrageous and awesome get- ups."
What the author is saying here is that most people criticize adults who wear costumes. While I understand where they are coming from, adults (EVERYONE) have the right to do what they want to. You wouldn't want someone to tell you that you look foolish about something that you might only do once and a life time...Also, in America, everyone has the right to express themselves. I know everyone expresses themselves in there own way that some people don't understand. But its not about what they like and enjoy its about what You enjoy and like. That you can stick to for the rest of your life.
Down stairs was a star wars proformance I never seen before it was like I was in the actual star wars ship people talking in a secrete code "gahhsmnsbhhugteeebaknsnm nshbbsj b" which was funny and amusing . I tried the code "msnscbcbchdhdndh" but I ended up saying Im declaring war on the bathroom stall . It was the end of it all , but next year will be a different experience since I will master the art of star wars code talking.
