Title: Cosplay - who are you going as?
Description: What character(s) do you plan to wear?
RyuuRaigeki - April 27, 2005 02:00 AM (GMT)
I'm going as either Kamui or Seishirou from the X manga, depending on the weather (hot means I'm *not* going to be wearing a trenchcoat xx;), and whether or not I can get my friend Danielle to be my Subaru again for me. Slightly ghetto and could be better, but it should still be fun. I'm slightly limited due to timing, too--I didn't realize this con was here until this last Sunday, April 24. OO;
Anyone else planning on wearing a costume here? ^__^
(Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but there's no cosplay section like there is for video games. You have your priorities mixed up! XP Anyway, I put it under programming since cosplay is one of the 'events.')
Kuroshi - April 27, 2005 10:14 AM (GMT)
my god, people are using the forum again besides me!
Unfortunately, I don't have a cosplay outfit ready, but if I can confirm I'm going, I'll either pull out one of two simple cosplays, one of which may not count as a cosplay, but eh...
And no, they're not nekos.

I thought about putting a fishbowl on my head and caliming i was The Fury.
OphanimGunner - April 29, 2005 06:19 PM (GMT)
Syaoran Li from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles -- I hope! Yay for Clamp. <3
Kaisermikeb - April 29, 2005 07:15 PM (GMT)
Oh... sorry about not having a cosplay forum... can you tell these boards were set up by a guy!!
Heh, I think the fishbowl would be the one fury costume I would actually encourage to come!
Glad to see you guys will be there!

Syaoran Li from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles -- I hope! Yay for Clamp. <3
Excellent~! I love Tsubasa--especially TRC Seishirou. *__*
I can't wait to see your costume. Which one is it? ^__^ They really have a lot of different outfits, due to the nature of the series. XD Also, there really are not enough Clamp cosplayers out there, for such a popular manga-ka group....

That's fine---but there *are* guys who cosplay, you know. ^^ You should probably set one up in the future, though; for me (and other people too I'm sure) cosplaying is one of the biggest attractions of attending a convention.
OphanimGunner - April 30, 2005 01:32 AM (GMT)
Green cape -- white pants -- goggles -- black sleeveless shirt. And the rod, if I can find a way to attach the top to the rod.
I've just started on this costume today, so I'm pretty hopeful. ^_^; Look for the red-haired girl with the big golden stick that looks ready to fall apart. That'll be me.
WingedOne - May 2, 2005 06:30 PM (GMT)
Yehe. I didn't orginal plan on it but ended up going to the convention as Squall Leonhart from FFVIII. (I orginally wore the costume for Otakon 2004). Rhawrh. Li I remember you. :3 <3

Ah yes, I remember you. I kept forgetting to ask for a picture. Blast...
Mikepower9 - May 3, 2005 06:44 AM (GMT)
Yeah, you had a really good costume Squall... I wish I had a picture too!
Craig - May 5, 2005 03:19 PM (GMT)
The fury will be there next year if there is a next year... (I sure as hell hope there is)
Ameria - June 13, 2005 09:35 PM (GMT)
Oooh... The costumes aren't even started yet, but I might go as Ed Elric (only if my Al and Roy can come too, otherwise I'd be one of probably waaay too many Eds all alone. XD), Jin from Samurai Champloo, and Fuujin from FF8.
sixpod - June 14, 2005 04:22 AM (GMT)
I'm debating on my next costume...

I'm also gonna work on SSJ Adult Gohan (preferably from the History Of Trunks Timeline..sorry but the other gohan is kinda like a pansy)
As for others..who knows...Jin from Samrai Shamploo(only if Zell goes as Mugen)...also giving some thought to Storm Shadow the uber ninja from G.I. Joe fame..who knows...just have to wait and see! :D

sixpod - June 20, 2005 02:38 PM (GMT)

Naked Snake - June 23, 2005 03:12 PM (GMT)
If I can get my friend to help me, I'm gonna go as Golbez from FFIV.
She's quite a talent with this sort of thing, so if we put our heads together, I'm sure we can come up with something totally kickass.
~Ayaji~ - July 31, 2005 12:55 AM (GMT)
Lets see...Here are the ones I plan to have availible, I don't know if I'll wear them all though
-Nausicaa from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (definately wearing this one)
-Momiji and Kagura from Fruits Basket (two different outfits for both of them-Kagura's school uniform and green dress, Momiji's school uniform and his outfit from book nine, the one with the rabbit bag and hood)
-Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service
-Noriko Ukai from Gravitation (Nittle Grasper Band member-she has purple hair)
-Kikyo and/or Kagome and/or Inuyasha from Inuyasha
-Raine Sage from Tales Of Symphonia
That's it for now...the list may change depending on which costumes I have the money and/or time to do
Kaisermikeb - July 31, 2005 03:27 AM (GMT)
You wern't the Nausicaa at Ikasu were you?
~Ayaji~ - August 1, 2005 04:09 PM (GMT)
Yeah, I was. Someone gave me a flyer for this con there, so I looked it up
Aurora - August 1, 2005 04:35 PM (GMT)
zell and I are considering going as Rosette and Chrono from Chrono Crusade. (of course he'll be going as Chrono's demon form).
MalkavianPranks - August 2, 2005 08:50 AM (GMT)
That would be awesome to see.
Kaisermikeb - August 2, 2005 04:01 PM (GMT)
Ayaji: That was me! I'm a hardcore Nausicaa fan, so I of course am in love with you now!
I think we'll probably have our Ghibli panel at Sugoi, if you want to check it out!
Batou19539 - August 3, 2005 08:42 PM (GMT)
Rosette and Chrono? Aw, you guys rock, Aurora!
Kaisermikeb - August 4, 2005 07:23 AM (GMT)
Oh yeah, Ayaji:
Not that this is likely to be a big issue, but as you are attractive, female, over 18, and like Nausicaa, that qualifies you to marry me should you so choose to!
Just thought I would throw that out there!
Batou19539 - August 5, 2005 12:28 AM (GMT)
Good luck with that one Mike.
sixpod - August 5, 2005 02:29 AM (GMT)
well since some people want to see it. I guess that's a definent YES on dark chrono and rossetta.(2nd outfit in the series)
Hanako - August 11, 2005 06:07 AM (GMT)
Sayo and I are going to try to have our Utena and Anthy costumes done by Sugoi, and definitely by AP. And, of course the "MIni Kenshins."
inuyasha_goth - August 14, 2005 01:36 AM (GMT)

I'll definately check that out. I love Studio Ghibli^^ I want to eventually own all of Hayao Miyazaki's movies. Nausicaa is one of my favorites though. I liked both the manga and the anime.
Kaisermikeb - August 15, 2005 06:06 AM (GMT)
Glad to see I didn't scare you off!
Just today I finally got my own copies of the books "Miyazaki, master of Japanese Animation" and "The art of princess mononoke"!
Have you seen any of Takahata's works?

What. We can't delete posts?
~Ayaji~ - August 17, 2005 11:33 PM (GMT)
no I haven't actually. What titles would you recomend?
I got the Art of Spirited Away out of the library and considered not giving it back because i liked it so much. I'm going to buy it if I can find it somewhere. I love the fact that the library has just about anything I want^^
Kaisermikeb - August 18, 2005 01:33 AM (GMT)
Grave of the Fireflies and Only Yesterday are his two best.
Other notable Ghibli films are Whisper of the Heart, and My Neighbors the Yamadas, although they do not have the same kind of appeal that Miyazaki has. Some would call them more mature films though, and I think that either way they are definatly worth a watch.
By chance, have you seen Future Boy Conan? Miyazaki's series which is suspiciously like Castle in the Sky (even though it was made like 20 years earlier)? We'll be showing some of it at the con if you havn't!
Gwydion - August 18, 2005 05:30 PM (GMT)
Grave of the Fireflies is a great movie! I recommend it to anyone who likes a more serious storyline.
Anyway, if I can come, I'll probably be one of 2 characters. I'll probably be Tai (Digimon) if I don't go to Paicon the week before. If I do go to Paicon, I'll wear Tai there and be Kouichi (also Digimon) at Anime Punch. Very easy, straightforward costumes, but considering the money I've put into cosplay lately, I think that's a good thing.
Also, if I'm Tai, my sis will be with me as Wargreymon (yeah! I get to make that one too, lol). So that should be interesting.
inuyasha_goth - August 18, 2005 05:50 PM (GMT)
my costume only cost like 15 bucks to make....not including sword.i havent made it yet.i also need the wig and ears.
~Ayaji~ - August 29, 2005 03:43 PM (GMT)
I watched Grave of the Fireflies. The DVD I rented was really scratched up, so I missed some scenes, but I liked it anyways. It was sad though... My sister said she didn't like it, but my sister has strange tastes sometimes...
Ameria - August 29, 2005 05:10 PM (GMT)
Okay..cosplay list modifications... I'll probably bring:
Fuujin (FF8)
Ed (FMA)
Syaoran (Tsubasa Chronicles)
Though Syaoran or Ed might be substituted for Rip Van Winkle (Hellsing Ultimate OVA/Hellsing manga)
