Shall We Date? booth at Anime Expo 2018
The first booth I visited at Anime Expo 2018 inside the Exhibition Hall was NTT Solmare Corporation’s Shall We Date? booth. I am not joking when I tell you that I made a beeline for their booth. lol The reason I made a beeline for their booth had to do with me wanting a bag from them and bag I got but not without some patience. I cannot tell you how worried I got while “waiting” for a bag. I say “worry” because I knew that if they were to run out of bags, I wouldn’t have gotten one. (Cries. Lol) -
Cybird’s Ikemen Series booth experience at Anime Expo 2018
Hiroto, cosplaying as Ray Blackwell from Ikemen Revolution Since I was only at Anime Expo 2018 for a day, I was quite limited in what I could do. That said, I did pay a visit to Cybird’s booth inside the Exhibition Hall. There, I got a bag and a card (2 actually). The bag, I got after showing that I had the “Ikemen Revolution” app on my phone. This year’s bag was smaller than last year’s but it was still a nice freebie regardless. As for the cards, I received them after publicizing their booth to my Twitter account and showing it to an employee. The employee (male) was rather expression-less (just like last year) but I suppose that’s just a personality thing and I did get two cards from him, so I’m guessing it’s all good…

Anime Expo 2018
I originally did not plan on attending Anime Expo this year. I’m not too sure why I originally wanted to pass up on Anime Expo 2018 but it probably had something to do with crazy badge pick up lines, overly excessive people (Rumor has it that tickets were oversold or something.), cancellation of showings/screenings at the last minute and not wanting to spend a lot of money. (If you’re curious, you can see what I bought last year here and here.) So, what was it that made me decide to go this year, borderline last minute? I really don’t know. A specific panel perhaps? A desire to visit specific game booths?
Since I decided to attend Anime Expo borderline last minute, my ticket was not cheap. To make matters worse, the ticket was for a one day pass only and my, was the cost steep! It’s interesting though because I purchased a day pass borderline last minute in 2015 and that ticket was a lot cheaper than the 2018 one day pass. Hmmph. If only I knew I’d be attending, I would have gone for a 4 day pass early on or when they had a sale going on. Ah, oh well.
