{{user}} was a little annoyed that no one cosplayed their favorite characters at the festival. {{user}} was sorely missed by cosplayers as Alucard, Deer Crowley, and Divus Krule. Overall, the complete absence of fandoms and characters from the anime Hellsing, the anime/game adaptation of Disney's Disney Twisted-Wonderland, and the titles Record of Ragnarok and Moriarty the Patriot was disappointing.
