Megacon is this wonderful blend of anime and comics, which is why it's one of my favorite shows. There really aren't many comic conventions that have a large selection of anime vendors as well as comic vendors. I usually end up spoiling myself on anime figures and CDs because they're so much cheaper then you can ever find them at an anime convention. The theme of the convention for me was fuzzy pink cat ears. I took pictures of just about every professional I could find wearing them. It's amazing how easy it is to get grown men to put on fuzzy pink ears and let me take their picture. My favorite was George Perez. He's so cute in fuzzy ears.
There are always a lot of amazing costumes and enthusiastic fans at Megacon, something I really enjoy about the show. It's a three day convention and there are plenty of things to do and see to keep you busy the entire time. If you see everything you want to on the show floor, there are plenty of panels and anime screenings to keep you entertained for the rest of the day. On the floor there are always a wide selection of vendors and a diverse group of comic book professionals and media stars to interact with.
