I haven't even started but oh well...

Here's mine:
Millia Rage - Guilty Gear X
Rinoa Heartilly - FFVIII
Undecided third - It is a mix up but I think I almost decided and it will be epic. Special addition for a basic costume but epic.

Yeah.


Yay! Rinoa! I'll have to get some photos of you at the Con. My gf was Rinoa last year, it's such a cute costume to do. Hope you have fun with it!


Oh good because I like posing for pictures. I love Rinoa and some people think it's blasphemous when I say I liked VIII more than VII (oh noes).


Bah, indeed, it is just an opinion. It's good, if everyone hated VIII, there would be nobody to play it! I like it a lot, true, not as much as VII, but that is just because I played VII first and it totally broke me into the next gen. of rpg's. VIII is really good though. I diggg it, heh

Duuuude! That's so awesome! You look just like Armstrong. You're perfect for that. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for you at Kumori this year! Best of luck with your bodybuilding, too!

Thanks I am glad you liked the video =).  Hey I just saw your Myspace profile pic and I remember you posted earlier that you were going to be Barret.  Do you have any pictures of him completed or in the process of making?  I think you definitely would make a very good one.

heh, thanks! Yeah, I've got nothing really put together yet. This will be my first year as Barret, so I'm making everything for the first time. Right now I'm working on his gun-arm, which (all things going as planned) I should have done within the week. Then it is just a matter of getting myself in the right physical shape (lots of toning and a little tanning). I've got some of the clothing articles in the works, but yeah, nothing really done yet. As soon as I do have something done, though, I'll be sure to let you know! ^_^

Be nice Sean D: Just because you don't like Naruto doesn't mean other people don't, I do agree that it is overdone though. But it's just what people like I guess ::{shrug}::

Again, I think this is very rude. If you don't like Naruto, please keep it to yourself. I don't want to sound rude myself, but there are some people who are sick of Bleach as much as they are Naruto - and I believe the amount of Naruto and Bleach cosplayers will be close to year. Just chill. :)

If it is anything like Sakuracon, yeah Bleach will be just as trendy as Naruto.

Dude, complaining about Naruto cosplayers is sooooo 2004. Bleach is the new thing to be holier-than-thou about.
2004 was Naruto, 2005 was FMA, 2006 was Death Note (since the anime hadn't debuted dfans were trying to hard), this year it's Bleach and Host club.

You gotta be keep up with the trends when you complain about trendiness.

I'm not.  I think Naruto is over-rated myself (even though Kakashi is cool).

I shall be cosplaying... a very sad person not cosplaying. T_T

Ah, Naruto is alright. Some choices within the english version of the series I do not like. But really, the story and characters are very good, I think the only reason someone says they DON'T like it, is because it's been so over-promoted they're sick of seeing it. Bleach is cool too. =D I just hope people don't start hating it.

Naruto, FMA, and Ouran Highschool are all getting a little annoying because of the crazy amounts of people cosplaying them. Also any anime that appears on Adult Swim tends to get annoying after awhile... Because of crazy obsessive fans....but... that doesn't mean they're not awesome anime... *shrug* I just appreciate it when I see quality cosplayers from those series (like Ninja of the Night's Ed)....

I'm planning on going as Turk Vincent from FFVII by the way. ^_^

I'm not I'm only cosplaying old school (from when I first watched anime) or anime repair guys when I'm at repair station.  

Pops Racer:  This is Old School and oh thrill John Goodman is playing him in the live action movie so I’ll be compared to the fat guy who played Fred Flintstone.  Last year some kids thought I was a Pizza deliver man

Mr. Piccolo from Porco Rosa:  A suggestion from the forum for an anime repair guy and it is easy just a flannel shirt and over alls or an apron (Maybe I should watch my studio Ghibli set I got 3 years ago)

Cecil B Demill: For when I stage manage the cosplay show.  This is so old school  only your grand dad will get it

If I have time I want to rework some military uniform stuff I have into Captain Avatar from Star Blazers

And a super secret cosplay I’ll start on as soon as my friend who hand makes steel armor moves his shop.

But I don’t plan on bringing 9 fox tails and some nails for pin the tail on Naruto

Kino from Kino no Tabi!

Is that obscure enough for you guys? :D

And Chika-kun from Ouran High School Host Club. And before you make fun of me for cosplaying from Ouran... Chika-kun is an obscure character! He only appears in one episode and doesn't even wear the same uniform as everyone else. :3

I don't understand the hating on cosplayers from popular shows.  They are following the what we are looking for in an Japanese Anime convention.  I would prefer everyone picking one show and the entire con showing up as someone from it down to the most obscure char over the Harry Potters and other non Japanese/manga/video game cosplayers.  But even then, the star wars/Harry Potter/star trek folks are here just like us having fun.  We cosplayers are already considered weird and maybe a little crazy by "mainstream" people so I think we all should stick together instead of hating.  OK I am coming down from my soap box now so back to work on your costumes people =).

Nothing wrong with cosplaying as popular characters from popular anime, it is only somewhat a bother to see so much of it in one place. I'm not abotu to yell at anyone for cosplaying naruto, because that is what that person is into, it is just a personal thing, like an itch that you can't quite scratch.

And also, Kumoricon isn't a "Japanese Anime" convention, it is a Japanese Culture convention, so don't think that manga and video games aren't included in the "cosplay worthy" category. I'd say (and not like I am anyone important, just a guy) that anything from Japan is just fine for cosplaying. I wouldn't be too surprised to see at least one Jedi/Harry Potter at the con, but I wouldn't really give them any respect either, since those things just do not fit at this particular con. That's just me, though, like I said, seeing a cosplayed character that doesn't really agree with an individual is just like having an itch. Not a big problem, just a personal thing.

Well first of all I included Manga and video games as apart of the con.  I placed  everything else i.e. Harry Potter and and star wars outside of that spectrum as far as appropriate.  I mean look at my list of costumes...2 of them are from Japanese video games.  I agree with you though that it does tend to bother me that people will go out of their way to do something outside of the realm of what the con is about.  I made an analogy of this on the SC forum a year ago.  I was talking to someone who wanted to go as Captain Kirk from Star Trek and I was like why would you do that since there are so many Trek and Scifi cons?  I posted that even if I went through all the trouble of bulking up and putting together a Captain Planet cosplay...why would anyone respect me for that at Sakura Con?  In the end though to each his/her own, but I am with you on not giving out the respect for doing it, but I will not go crazy on them or anything.

-Peace-

While I may not give praise or understand why there is a Darth Vader or a Harry Potter in and Anime/Game convention, I still give respect to work that went in to the costume and have no problem with the person wearing it. Afterall, we all come to have a good time.

But, anyways, there's my 2 cents. Back to the topic.

I've revised my costume list... again. My boyfriend only wants to do one costume so I had to drop Rinoa (he was doing Squall, darn, I'll do it another time) and we're still doing Guilty Gear X. But now I finally know what my third is, and what's going to replace my second.

SO here's the new costume list. Yay:
 - Millia Rage: GGX
     - Sheik: Zelda OoT (much <3)
     - Re-l Mayer: Ergo Proxy

I am now very very much excited. more so than I was.
