Anime Detour 2014: Cosplays, Panels and more (April 2014)

After my first anime convention - Anime Fusion last year (click here to check my previous post about it), I made it to the point to go to another one because it was so much fun - So many panels to attend, so much stuff to buy in the Dealers's room, so many cosplayers, sleepless nights, and karaoke!

Together with my friends, I attended the Anime Detour 2014 held at Double Tree by Hilton hotel. It was also my birthday week so going to the convention and splurging money (not really :p) on the Dealer's room was my birthday gift to myself.

Rain or snow, there's no stopping us lol! Here is the view outside our hotel room before everything was covered by snow. It was snowing nonstop until the next day and all you can see was white and people getting stuck in ditches ,shoveling their way out and pushing their cars.

Cosplays

Got more pictures of cosplayers this time! :) Can you guess who they are?

Synopsis

(DramaWiki)

"Love Rain" depicts a 1970's pure love and a love from the present day at the same time. It shows how the children of a previous ill-fated couple, who met in the 1970s, managed to meet and fall in love. Seo In Ha and Kim Yoon Hee, an art student and a shy beauty, met and fell in love with each other during college in the 1970s but unfortunately their love was fated to never be.

City Hunter: (My) Drama Review

I first heard about this kdrama (during my last visit to the Philippines) from my mom who is a big fan of Lee Min Ho. She and her friend has shared fandom for Lee Min Ho to the point that they'll have funny arguments about the actor. Due to my curiosity (and missing my mom), I ended up watching it (and because it also reminds me of my mom's and her friend's funny remarks about their favorite korean actor ^_^ )
