Top 5 Costumes around the con....

[valliegirl]

So now that it's all over and done with and we've started the reminising process, what were the top 5 costumes that you saw at the con?

Here's my list...  In the order of which I've thought of them.

1.  The moogle riding a chocobo.  It was an awesome costume and it was obvious she put a lot of work into it.  It looked amazing.

2.  Pyramid Head.  I'm still a sucker for Silent Hill cosplay.

3.  P-Chan!  ^_^  <3

4.  Ok, I don't know what character she was playing but there was this chick in yellow cat eye contacts with short blonde hair all spiked out who would randomly go into convulsions...  Whatever she was, she was nifty.

5.  Kon from Bleach.  ^_^


I could keep listing forever, cause there's a ton of other amazing costumes, but those are the ones that made a lasting impression for me.  What were your favorite costumes?

[Neko_Chan]

Um... I can't choose!
D: They where all really awsome.... I really just liked everyones J-rock/Visual Kei/EGL/FRUiTS/Decor type clothing.

[oishiidesuyo]

There was one girl who cosplayed Anthy from Utena...I thought her costume looked awesome. :3

Power to anyone who cosplayed a giant creature >D

[Roy_in_a_skirt]

Chocomog forever. That costume was amazing and, as she told me, weighed about 30 lbs. Props to anyone who can put together a costume like that.

Chocomog, no-face and P-chan from this year stand out in my mind as the best job for difficult-to-make costumes, although I feel like I'm forgetting someone...

[MeruMeru]

Nobody liked Chiyo and Chiyo chichi from Fruits Basket?  I'm gonna cry now.  We worked so hard on those costumes....

[Neko_Chan]

Errr. Chiyo-chan and Chiyo-chichi are from Azumanga Daioh. .-.;;;

[valliegirl]

You mean the Azumanga Daioh Chiyo chan and the "Father" cat were really awesome...  I was just going in my own personal top five though.

Those costumes would definitely be in my top 10.

If you meant something that actually was from Fruits basket, I'm sorry I haven't watched that series yet so I don't know off the top of my head what the characters should look like

[Emerald]

I'm glad my "KON" costume made the list

[Roy_in_a_skirt]

that's who I forgot for my list! :oops:

[guspasho]

I didn't get to see very much cosplay because I was running around working on events but one of my very favorites was Fizz The Carbonated's Sakura with battle wounds. That was awesome! And I saw a couple of giant plushies too, those were also very impressive. There was one where I was like "There's a person in there? Whoa!"

[Emerald]

that's who I forgot for my list! :oops:

I feel pwned!

[Roy_in_a_skirt]

@Emerald: You're on my list now! *glomps*

[Chocoboholic]

I feel so loved!

*Was Chocomog*

The Chocobo is now safe and sound back on my bed, he's so soft like a big pillow. ^_^

[Emerald]

@Emerald: You're on my list now! *glomps*

awwwwwwwwwwwwww  

[Sesari]

In no particular order...

1) Link - You know which one I mean.  :wink: (Zelda series)
2) Pyramid Head - So creepy! (Silent Hill 2, I think?)
3) Hughes / Hughes' Daughter-in-picture-frame - Creative! (Full Metal Alchemist)
4) Kon - :heart: (Bleach)
5) King of the Cosmos' Son - Don't worry. You'll get that Katamari big enough to roll up people soon. (Katamari Damacy)

There were many others that I really liked, too, including some of the original lolita-types, Ashton (Star Ocean 2: The Second Story,) Anthy (Revolutionary Girl Utena,) and people who managed to pick up those Brain Slug Thingies from Futurama. Lots of great stuff out there this year, all!  

[Chocoboholic]

3) Hughes / Hughes' Daughter-in-picture-frame - Creative! (Full Metal Alchemist)

I thought that one was very, very unique. xD One of my personal favorites there.

[Squall]

3) Hughes / Hughes' Daughter-in-picture-frame - Creative! (Full Metal Alchemist)

I thought that one was very, very unique. xD One of my personal favorites there.

One of the Sakuracon staff (director of publicity) was going to let me use her daughter as Elysia for a while, but sadly, I never got the chance as I was too busy with BakaZoku related things.

[Pie Row Maniac]

Sephiroth
Kon
P-Chan (seeing him at the dance made the con worthwhile)
Master Roshi (dear lord was that man glomped )
Cloud
Link
Totoro (it consisted of two people! :shock: )
Mog on the Chocobo
Guy as a Windows error :lol:

I'll try to remember some others later on

[Kei-Kei]

Howl - Howl's Moving Castle (Am I the only one who saw him?!)
Little Slugger - Paranoia Agent
P-Chan and Ryouga - Ranma 1/2
Kon - Bleach

[mightycrouton]

1) Mog on Chocobo (De-yaaammn)
2) Faye Valentine
3) Master Roshi
4) This Naruto ( http://photobucket.com/albums/a378/moosetoss/Kumoricon/?action=view&current=P1010019.jpg)
<i>She was in character the entire time. I loved her. she was soo funny.</i>
5) The Transgendered Sailor Scouts.

But the most in-character moment was probably Irvine in the dating game with Slayer.

[mightycrouton]

Howl - Howl's Moving Castle (Am I the only one who saw him?!)

ahahahahaha... ahahahahah.. hah hah..
Wait.. you weren't kidding, huh?  :wink:

I didn't get to see very much cosplay because I was running around working on events but one of my very favorites was Fizz The Carbonated's Sakura with battle wounds. That was awesome!

Heh, thanks.  That was dubbed the "Ass-Kicked Sakura" costume.  Someone else called it the "Pwn3d Sakura."  No one else has pictures of it up yet, but you can see my elbow in this picture: http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a378/moosetoss/Kumoricon/P1010021.jpg  (That's my boyfriend as Alucard from Castlevania.  If anyone can believe it, I was also the succubus here:  http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a378/moosetoss/Kumoricon/P1010092.jpg

I am a chameleon!  Muahaha!

5) King of the Cosmos' Son - Don't worry. You'll get that Katamari big enough to roll up people soon. (Katamari Damacy)

Hee hee hee...  I needed to go roll up all the Pocky boxes in the dealers room, and then I could go after all the markers.  Once I had those, I could get the chairs, and once I had the chairs there'd be no stopping me!  Fear me, or I shall add you to my ball o' doom!

I loved the chocomoogle.  That was freaking awesome.  And the one Angel's Sanctuary cosplayer who did the blue dress was awesome.  I've always wanted to go as that character, and she did a fantastic job.

And this is biased, but my boyfriend Alucard costume turned out bloody awesome.

Bugger.  Forgot I wasn't on my home computer.  That was me, above.

1-5) The SC II crew. If anyone missed it (which I'm sure a lot did), 5 characters from SC II...kilik, xianghua, sophitia, maxi, and raphael...were roaming around on Sunday. They even did a little photoshoot in the game room with SC II on the big screen behind them. All their costumes kicked serious @$$.

[Arcueid_Brunestud]

My favs are
Cosplay Anthy
Cosplay Johnny from GGXX
All the Shikamaru Cosplayers
The Gaara cosplayers
And the Hinata cosplayer

[mightycrouton]

And this is biased, but my boyfriend Alucard costume turned out bloody awesome.

FizzTheCarbonated[/url]

You and your boyfriend were amazing! I didn't even recognize him without the costume on. It was funny. I approached him non-costume and was like 'Hey, I hope that guy dressed up as Alucard from Castlevania comes up' And he was like 'Uhm... That was me'
I couldn't have laughed harder.
He has the perfect bone structure in his face to pull off a mad Sephiroth. You and him should consider doing an Edea/Sephiroth pull.

Little Slugger - Paranoia Agent

OMG. I was the Shounen Bat on Saturday. That costume got whored around for the rest of the con. *HUG*

I kinda remember that, but I don't remember you.  When did that happen?

There was this one girl in the dealers room who almost fell over when she found out he had been the Alucard.  That was the BEST reaction ever.  She insisted on getting pictures of him in every other costume so she could show her friends the Amazing Costume Changing Bishounen,

I'm glad my "KON" costume made the list

You were awesome... :shock:

[Hermisia_kitty]

Delicious.

[Negima]

Did you notice that you're costume became the postcard for the Convention? ^_^

[BigGuy]

@Panda-Kun
Your costume really was awesome, I wanted to chase you around as Chad but I was working most of the time I saw you.

[mightycrouton]

I don't think you were there. He was walking out of the green room I think, when I caught him. But I'm pretty sure you know who I am.
I was the nun from the Dating Game. =)

I think you mean the other guy...I had no costume.

[Spork]

Kick ass, dude!  I wore the pyramid head and the shonen bat costume at one point.  HOORAY FOR NO WEENIES WHORED COSTUMES!

[Juumou]

I made the pyramid head and shounen bat costumes; glad people liked them!!

[mightycrouton]

Kick ass, dude!  I wore the pyramid head and the shonen bat costume at one point.  HOORAY FOR NO WEENIES WHORED COSTUMES!

What would you do if the city was burning around you and chaos was all over the place in your last hour?
Well... I guess I would have to join in on the fun and kill people! Teeheee


God, I loved you. I kept trying to overstep you in the dating game, but oh my god it was a lost cause.

3: Windows Error

[IvoryxIllusions]

So now that it's all over and done with and we've started the reminising process, what were the top 5 costumes that you saw at the con?

-

In no particular order(And more like my five personal favorites. x3) :

1. The absolutely adorable Mario girls!

2. The Kyo with the crazy blonde hair, and nifty contacts.

3. Chiyo-chan and Chiyo-chichi! <3 Too freaking cute.

4. The girl with the big, really poofy red dress. I have no idea who she was, but the dress was way amazing.

5. Mana or the one Gothic Lolita with the top hat who played the part perfectly.

I'm sure I probably have many more, but those are the ones I absolutely loved. >_>;;

[Rushifa]

1. Anthy
2. Link (the one that won one of the awards in the costume contest)
3. P-chan
4. Zelgadis and Xellos
5. Howl (Howl's Moving Castle rocks!)

those were in no particular order, btw.  I also liked my friend's Shelinda (FFX) costume, but I didn't think it would be fair for me to include that, since I'm obviously biased...

I for one was really disapointed that so few people entered the cosplay skits and judging.  I saw some awsome costumes wandering around that probably could have won awards had they entered...and although there were some awsome skits, I thought overall there were too few and too many sub-par ones.  Anyone have any insight?

[iamthesmileyhat]

I made the pyramid head and shounen bat costumes; glad people liked them!!

JUUMOU YOUR COSTUMES ROCKED! *HUUUUUG*
