Anime North 2012 Footage!
13 years ago
Our first real fursuit outing at a convention :D Oh man, what an awesome experience it was. We were there from Friday to Sunday, and in total got about 2-3 hours of full suiting time a day. Kumo partialed with her tail/paws/feet for almost all the rest of the time, while I did so with head/paws/feet for about another 3-4 hours. If I wasn't fullsuiting or in partial, I was cosplaying as Naoto Shirogane from Persona 4, and took that to both an Atlus photoshoot and Persona 4 discussion panel. That anime/game is sort of my thing right now, so I picked up plenty of P4 goodies in the Dealers Room as well.
But hey, this is about the fursuits! They held up perfectly well through out the whole convention, and we made sure to febreeze and brush thoroughly after every outing. While we were out in them, we couldn't walk more than 5 seconds without someone running up and asking for a picture (and many wanted shots with us!). At some points, we were stuck in a huge circle of people for 3-5 minutes before being able to move again. Haha, what a feeling ^^ We kept extremely enthusiastic and playful, and surprised so many people when they saw us moving the jaws while talking. As it was an Anime convention, not a Furry convention, so many people were curious about how the suits worked, so we were happy to explain and also reference them back to Beastcub's work.
And for those of you that I saw at AN, hope we see each other again next year! It was such a blast <3

The Chrono Trigger/Persona 4 panel videos are almost an hour long and are being rejected by Youtube because I can't activate my account for longer videos (I don't have a mobile phone). Oh well.
