AnimeJapan 2017 Pics: Cool Anime, Models, and a Battleship
AnimeJapan 2017 saw me once again head to Tokyo Big Sight in Odaiba. Even though I don’t know much about anime, I enjoyed it. To go there, look, and take pictures was always fun. Honestly, the taking pictures part is the main reason why I go. And little did I know my photograph life was about to change.
There were many great things to shoot – stage events, models (both real and plastic), and robots. The halls overflowed with people. Many of them were cosplayers who had come dressed as their favorite characters.
A few things got my attention, one of which was Tachikoma. While looking it up on the internet, I found it came from the anime Ghost in the Shell. It lacked weapons but could move around, respond to commands, ask questions, and make a few reactions. I got the feeling it was an oversized Aibo robot dog that Sony made a long time ago. But this was much bigger and more advanced.
I kicked myself when I got home as I found I didn’t have a picture of it. Years later, I’m still kicking myself for that mistake. It’s one of my many photo regrets.
I enjoyed the Bandai area. They had a live mural painting of Space Battleship Yamato. Godzilla was also at two booths. And there were some great-looking plastic models. Most were very sexy and scantily clad girls. Everything was well done, with a lot of attention given to detail.
And the real models of AnimeJapan 2017 were great, too. They were very friendly, beautiful, and accommodating with photographs. They had a great work ethic.
If I had to judge the best booth? I would have voted for Attack on Titan: Season Two. It was big. At the time, I didn’t know anything about its massive model, but it looked cool. I later found out it chased and ate humans!
AnimeJapan 2017 was a good event. If you visited it, let us know. By the way, the venue was Tokyo Big Sight. Read more about it here. It was also one of the last events I shot with my Pentax K-3. My camera life was about to change.
