I love anime! Some of my favorites are Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, 00 Gundam, Deadman Wonderland, Your Lie in April, Psycho-Pass, Aldnoah.Zero, and Knights of Sidonia. I also really like the classics too, like Fullmetal Alchemist, Bleach, Inuyusha, Sword Art Online, etc.
Cosplaying is one of my favorite things. My current cosplay lineup is Sumeragi from 00 Gundam, Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist, Runner 5 from Zombies, Run, and Emma from Once Upon a Time.
Conventions are really amazing. You have the opportunity to meet so many neat people. I've made a lot of friends through cons, and had the good fortunate to interact with a number of really cool people. Brad Swaile, who I am (not-so-)secretly in love with, is always willing to hang out with me when he visits Detroit. Lauren Landa, the voice of Annie in Attack on Titan, wrote a letter to one of my students who really loves anime. I love cons, and would encourage anyone who was considering it to go try one out.
