A quick visit to AnimeFest (Dallas, TX)

Dallas braced itself this weekend for yet another whirlwind of otaku and general geek activity as AnimeFest hit Hyatt Regency Tower. Throughout the weekend, guests and activities kept the fans entertained, but as always, the best part was seeing what everyone came dressed up as. FAN correspondent Ross Scoggin was on hand for the events, and presents us with a brief glimpse into what was going on in the hallways of AFest.

 
 

It's not often you see Disney characters at anime conventions though this is one of the rare exceptions. Rapunzel and Flynn from Tangled.

 

I managed to get him a fez but no luck with the jammie dodgers or the pot of coffee.

 

Jay and Silent Bob stand as a beacon in the center of the dealer's room.

 
(Madison’s notes: BEST. KEVIN SMITH. EVER.)
 

Ash looks like he's run into plenty of dedites today. Probably why I haven't seen a single one anywhere.

 

Samus Aran's varia suit. This was a fantastically made costume and actually worn by a dude. Meticulously well done.

 

Terra from FF6 and Dissidia fame gracefully poses by the windows. The flash here makes it look an awful lot like some sort of spell effect.
