Anime Conji is an anime convention operated by some local anime enthusiasts. It much smaller than Anime Expo and Comic Con since its much younger.
The exhibit hall was very small, but that will grow in the future along with attendance.

The picture where you weren’t sure what they are are called epaulettes. They’re shoulder decorations often used on military uniforms to signify rank and what not. Hope that helps! 🙂 Enjoyed looking at your pictures.
speaking of anime convention, I’m going for the first time this year. Also, was that friend of yours wearing a Soul Eater shirt?
yes he was. 😀
