Monthly Update: (belated) July/early August 2024 (Patreon)

For this monthly update, I'm going to just talk about anime expo, namely showing off the art and merch I got, and we'll talk about other stuff at the end of the month.

As some of you may know, I went to anime expo, got COVID, my partner wanted to go to Bostion...it's been a lot the last couple of months. But now I can at least some cool goodies I got.

First we have the pins and stickers I got from artists alley. I actually got an autograph from Caitlin Glass (Winry's English VA) and they were selling the sticker at her booth. I have a good variety here, from ATLA to Dunmeshi to Utena to Sailor Moon.

  And here's some other things I got! A Sailor Moon artbook, the Daydream hour book for Dungeon meshi (in Japanese) as well as the "complete" Adventurer's Bible from Kinokuniya, a Haruka and Michiru art, and a little Dunmeshi part with Falin braiding Marceline's hair, which I had to get because that happens in a fanfic I wrote.

As for the Sinners of the Deep Sea manga, I "won" that for asking a question at the Anime News Network panel I went to. I thought it was mermaid yuri, but sadly it doesn't seem to be so far. Still an interesting story.

I also got this beautiful set of art. I wish I'd gotten a bigger print too, but I only had so much room in my suitcase.

 I got this extremely adorable Sailor Moon/Sanrio characters pilow, and there's a better look at the daydream hour book too!

 I got a giant sheet of Sailor Moon stickers from Little Tokyo for like, a dollar. Looking closer, I do think some soteln fanart is in there, but I'll stick to using the stuff from the show.

And here's a closer look at the PGSM merch I found in Little Tokyo. I've NEVER seen PGSM merch around so I had to buy it.

 That's my haul! I also took some pictures around Little Tokyo. Look at this poor Luna!

My mother and I also went on a tour of Universal Studios, so I'll share a couple pics!

So yeah! It was a fun trip, if overwhelming-- you can see all my anime expo exploits and cosplay pics on my Tumblr here. I might also back them up on this post later.

I hope you enjoyed this look at the art I got. If you did, I could do pictures of my Momocon haul too! Just let me know!

I'll check back in soon!
