Iberanime OPO 2022

Iberanime is a japanese pop culture event organized in Portugal which was used as a catalyst for the members of the server to meet.

## Development

### Pre-planning

Unlike its predecessor earlier this year, the members decided to plan a lot in advance on how the event would go for them, setting up a thread in the server which is now archived in Lobby Lusitano with all the exploits, pictures and furthermore from before, during and after the event.

Warmaster Orange decided to be a martyr and harbour 3 people, 2 from the opposite side of the country in his house for the duration of the event, these 3 being IkeSune, Joker and Ryugo 🌙⚓ with the latter only arriving in the middle of the 1st day while the former were there since the eve of the event.

### 1st day

On the first day, the people that were at Orange's house at the time alongside the Byakuya Hub all arrived somewhere between 8h30 and 9h30 and got on the queue, Diogoasd crossplaying as Astolfo yet again, Fábio was crossplaying Miu Iruma and Gdasantos was crossplaying Hoshimachi Suisei, creating the holy trinity of traps. Demon was cosplaying Manjiro Sano which got him a lot of attention from the weeb women, for better or for worse and Totty was cosplaying Inosuke Hashibira.

Meanwhile Dragon had just been dropped off a couple hours earlier in the void known as Leiria to meet with Leirisal where they both would go on a journey by car off to the event that would take about 3 hours, with a 30 minute stop in Gaia to charge Leirisal's electric car and have breakfast. Sadly due to this, they wouldn't arrive on time to break in line next to the first ones to get there and would find a massive queue that looped around the premises and kept going and going... thankfully meanwhile the boys from Braga (Zartaro and Rusty) had already arrived alongside another friend of theirs and Dragon and Leirisal managed to go find a spot next to them instead of going all the way to the back of the line. Alorbe who was cosplaying Lelouch, Keppy who was cosplaying Mona and King Ameno who was cosplaying Otto would also later arrive but find themselves with no one in the queue to cut in and go to the back.

Once inside, everyone went their separate ways more or less, while some focused on meeting the members they had never met IRL for the first time, others decided to go check the merchandise. At around 13:20, Acácio came by in his car to meet with the boys and go take some of them to the meeting spot for lunch, on the way out they also met OnikenX who also joined them. With 3 cars and 12 people, with some of the members deciding to stay at the event and eat there instead, those 12 went to have lunch at a restaurant named 'Adega Amarela' where most of them decided to eat the local speciality dish Francesinha (little french girl).

After lunch the boys decided to return to the venue of the event to take a photo with everyone present as well as start distributing the Dragon's Box Pins that Gda had printed with everyone present for the photo getting one except Ryugo who is living off the grid and Dragon didn't even know had already arrived at the event.

After the group photo, some of the members started to leave and the event started to die down until it venue closed at 19:00. The boys at Orange's house, Dragon and Leirisal still decided to go have dinner at ArrábidaShopping and hang out for a bit until they all went back to where they were lodged and went to sleep for day 2.

### 2nd day

On the second day, the members that were going Sunday got together at around 10h all at the entrance of the event and then they decided to each go their own ways, with Dragon heading immediately for the Bleach katanas to buy a Fullbring Tensa Zangestu but they had ran out the prior... so with his extra money he bought a bunch of people some dice for Dungeons and Dragons. Meanwhile, following the fact that Laranja had gotten himself a mini Among Us plushie the day prior, Joker, Ryugo and Leirisal bought medium-sized ones, all with squeaky toys inside which they started to spam everywhere they went.

During the same time as the day prior, Acácio showed up to pick up the boys for lunch and they ended up at a nearby Burger King where everyone got a Whopper variant.
