Chapter 711: Live from PrimCon: Day Two Coverage



The screen flickered to life with the vibrant energy of PrimCon, the largest and most anticipated anime convention of the year. The banner at the top of the Ruby livestream proudly displayed "PrimCon Day 2 - Live Coverage," as thousands of fans tuned in from all over the world. The host, a lively young woman with pink-streaked hair and infectious enthusiasm, beamed at the camera, standing just outside the main entrance of the convention center.

"Welcome back, everyone, to our live coverage of PrimCon's second day!" she greeted, her voice brimming with excitement. "I'm Aria, your host for today, and I can't wait to show you all the amazing things happening here in Sakura City. The weather is perfect for cosplay, with the cherry blossoms just starting to bloom, adding that extra bit of magic to the atmosphere. Let's dive in!"

The camera panned around, capturing the sea of people streaming into the convention center. Fans of all ages were dressed in elaborate costumes, ranging from iconic characters of popular series to obscure, niche favorites. Some attendees even took advantage of the beginning of the spring season to incorporate cherry blossoms into their outfits, adding a touch of local flair to their cosplay.

The chat section of the live stream buzzed with comments from viewers, eager to share their thoughts:

[AnimeFan88: "OMG, the cherry blossoms look so beautiful! Wish I could be there!"]

[KuroNeko_Art: "Look at those cosplays! People really went all out this year. I love it!"] [SakuraPrincess: "I see someone cosplaying as Princess Lumina from Celestial Warriors!!"] [MechaLover47: "Anyone else here for the mecha panels? I heard they're showing a new trailer for Steel Guardians today!"]

Back on the screen, Aria made her way into the main hall, where the true spectacle of PrimCon unfolded. The convention center was massive, with several floors dedicated to various aspects of anime culture. Booths lined every available space, showcasing merchandise, artwork, and interactive experiences. The air was thick with the scent of street food from vendors stationed outside, mixing with the sound of excited chatter, the hum of video game demos, and the occasional burst of applause from a nearby stage.

"We're starting off in the cosplay area," Aria announced, guiding the camera to a space filled with photographers and cosplayers striking poses. "This is where some of the best cosplayers in the world gather to show off their work. Let's see if we can talk to a few of them!"

The camera zoomed in on a group of cosplayers who had perfectly recreated the main characters from Dragon Lords: Requiem, one of the most popular anime of the past year. The attention to detail in their costumes was breathtaking, from the intricate embroidery on the robes to the glowing LED eyes of the character Aelion, the dragon-summoner.

"Hi there! You guys look amazing!" Aria said as she approached the group. "How long did it take you to put these together?"

One of the cosplayers, dressed as the protagonist Rael, smiled beneath her hood. "Thanks! We've been working on these for about six months. A lot of late nights, but it's totally worth it!"

The chat exploded with admiration:

[CosplayQueen92: "Six months?! That dedication is unreal!"]

[RaelFan22: "I'm in love with that Rael cosplay. They nailed the look perfectly."]

[Pixie Dust: "Look at those details! I wish I had that kind of talent."]

Aria continued to move through the convention, highlighting various booths and attractions. She passed by an enormous replica of the starship from Galactic Odyssey, complete with interactive controls that allowed fans to simulate piloting the ship through space. Crowds gathered around the latest figures and models from the Mecha Revolution, eagerly snapping up limited-edition collectibles. At another booth, an artist sketched live portraits of fans as their favorite anime characters, attracting a long line of people waiting for their turn.

"Now we're heading to one of the most popular spots in the entire convention-the Artist Alley," Aria said as she entered a sprawling section of the hall filled with independent artists and creators. "This is where fans can find unique, handmade items that you won't see anywhere else."

The camera lingered on tables covered in original art prints, custom keychains, hand-painted figurines, and even anime-inspired fashion. Fans chatted with the artists, admiring their work and purchasing pieces to take home as mementos.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

[ArtLover23: "I wish I could buy everything in the Artist Alley! So much amazing talent in one place."]

[ChibiMaster: "I just ordered a custom chibi portrait from one of the artists there. Can't wait to see how it turns out!"]

As the day went on, Aria made sure to check out some of the major panels and events happening at PrimCon. The screen showed snippets of a voice-acting panel where fans got to hear their favorite characters brought to life in real-time, followed by a discussion with the creators of Magical Melody, a hit anime that had won multiple awards the night before at the Amethyst Imagination Awards.

The camera then cut to a massive theater where an exclusive trailer for Kingdom of Shadows, an upcoming dark fantasy anime, was being unveiled. The crowd erupted into cheers as the lights dimmed, and the first haunting notes of the theme song filled the room. The trailer showcased breathtaking animation, intense battles, and a glimpse of the mysterious world that had fans buzzing with anticipation.

[ShadowLover15: "OMG, that trailer gave me chills! Kingdom of Shadows is going to be epic."]

[AnimeAddict77: "Did you see those fight scenes? The animation is next-level."]

[FantasyFanatic: "I've been waiting for this series for so long. Can't wait to binge it!"]

After the trailer, Aria guided the audience back to the main hall, where she stopped at the Tokyo Studios booth. "This is one of the busiest spots today," she said as the camera panned over the crowd. "Tokyo Studios is releasing their debut anime, Sword Art Online, and fans are flocking here to check it out."

The screen showed the life-sized model of Kirito, the protagonist, which towered over the crowd, drawing gasps of admiration. The interactive VR stations were in full swing, with fans donning headsets and experiencing the virtual world of Aincrad, their movements mirrored on large screens for onlookers to see.

[KiritoFan: "Calling out the SAO maniacs here!."]

[AnimeGeek99: "This is going to be the next big thing. I'm calling it now."]

[VRJunkie: "Imagine living in a world like that. It's a dream come true for gamers!"]

As the day wore on, the energy in the convention center only grew. Fans continued to pour in, filling every corner of the venue with their enthusiasm and love for anime. Aria wrapped up her coverage for the moment, promising to return later with more updates and surprises. "Thanks for joining me on this incredible journey through PrimCon's second day!" she said, flashing a bright smile at the camera. "There's so much more to see and do, so make sure to stick around. We'll be back soon with even more from this amazing event."

The livestream faded out, leaving the chat buzzing with excitement as fans eagerly awaited the next update from the convention.
