I suppose due to my life’s Space Ghost influence, I think it’s funny to give bad interviews at times. Thanks for a being a good sports, guys! Anyways, they were dressed up as Homestuck characters, which was what I would call Anime Central 2012′s most popular trend for cosplayers this year.

While doing floor coverage with starlightzone in the Exhibit Hall, we had to pleasure of meeting Mario, who was also running a very aggressive campaign with his own entourage (Princess and Toad). Mario explains that he’s running for president in 2012 and admits to selling out completely for any and everybody’s vote. We gave Mario one of our exclusive Animeism.org bags and received an awesome Mario4Prez2012 Button that I proudly wore the entire convention. Mario for Prez 2012!!

Many have tried to duplicate the pure awesomeness of the original red Akira bike, but none have ever been officially recognized by the creator of Akira, Katsuhiro Otomo – until now.
This stunning Neo-Tokyo replica bike is the spitting image from the epic OVA, Akira. Masashi Teshima spent seven years and ¥10 million (US$121,000) to make his own personal version and now it is getting international praise from Akira fans worldwide and even from the creator himself.
The bike went on a road trip around Japan to show off and its final stop was in Tokyo, at a convention that honors the creator of Akira. Check out the Akira Bike Road Trip Blog
