Brisbane, third-largest state capital in Australia, actually has a con! Not specifically an anime con (not enough people), but once you add in other geekdoms, suddenly there are enough people.
Today was their first day.
I am so pumped and excited by what I saw today I will be going again tomorrow.
I saw a Faust walking around, but he never had the paper bag on his head and he didn't have the oversized scalpel, either.
The winner of best costume was someone who dressed as an eight-foot tall No-Face (from Spirited Away).
The winner of best cosplay skit was someone who did the Great Saiyaman posing dance.
They had Christopher Sabat! Who kept on breaking into his Vegeta voice in his panel! He improvised a power-up scream, live, and despite the fact I went off DBZ years ago, I was still really pumped by it all!
And apparently it's coming back next year!
