Nerds.... UNITE!

[StarlightAngel]

I've been attending Sakura-con since... er... a while? Not too long though XD

But it's always fun. Sadly, I've just been using the same costume (Starlight lacks teh sewing skillz) of Flonne, but this year I'm adding a Marona costume to the mix :3

[Dr Aum]

I've always wanted to attend an anime con. Maybe I'll get around to it sometime soon.

One of my friends has been attending them for a long time, and he's now starting to cosplay. He's dressing as Saber from Fate/Stay Night for the next one. I have to admit, I've always wanted to see him in a wig and bra.

He better do saber justice.

I've never been to a real one per-se, but I went to that Anime North Halloween thing. I'm going to actual anime north this year, and cosplaying American McGee's Mad Hatter !

[Jess]

I've never been to a convention before. I've never felt the need to cosplay. Heck, I don't even watch anime. Pfffft, some geek I am.

I'm planning to go to the next anime con that's in London.

Yeah, same.

Although I do think some cosplayers look really cool.

Yes, but there are some that make you think, "Wth were you thinking.."
Others are like, "OMG you are AMAZING"

You know what's really funny about that.

Normally the people who have the costume that everyone is all "Dude... " they're the one's that actually get someone to make their costume. xD They either don't have the ability to sew or don't want to fork out the cash for fabrics and such, so they'll basically go to a custom clothing designer hand them a picture of what they want, they sew it with some cheapo fabric and since they don't have much insight into what the character actually looks like it ends up being really plain and just bad to look at.

The one's that have the "Oh Wow! That's awesome!" costumes normally make it themselves, alot of times people will cosplay as people from the same series so they can help each other sew on things so it's a really fun team effort. Alot of con-goers take sewing classes just to be able to make costumes, and some of them even make some to look great but they sell them to people who know to NOT go to a custom clothing maker.

can I dress up like simba?

BertBert you're so silly.

But actually I've seen a number of disney Princess' being cosplayed at Anime cons, along with Lord of the Rings people and basically anything from a fantasy genre. Most people dress as someone from a Video Game 'cause the one's that do anime cosplay end up cosplaying the most popular anime at the time, hence the million naruto cosplayers, the million FMA cosplayers, the Bleach cosplayers. Cosplaying as someone from a game is easier, plus half the time most people won't know who you are, so when they ask they can actually learn something!

[Bunny]

Yeah but wouldn't it be more appropriate to go as Relm since I'll be selling art and such, I'm only skeptical on her 'cause the damn tube top. And of course there would be pictures taken. xD If I did Kefka it'd be for the fact I could still look totally pretty being him~
Or Celes, god only knows I love Corsets. :love:

I would like to take the time out of my busy schedule (BIG RUBBER BAND BALLLLLL!!!) to inform everyone that there is absolutely nothing wrong with tube tops, given that the person wearing them can pull it off. Corsets are very lovely too. The more you know!

I almost went to a convention one time. I was going to dress up as some dude from Suikoden with a large group of friends. (Un?)forunately, shortly after planning the outing, I had a falling out with the majority of them (which ended up leading to all of them) and it never happened. I haven't really thought about it since then, which was a good three or four years ago. Hm.

I'm not all that interested in conventions.

[Levian]

You should totally dress up like Chadarnook, all you need is a fog machine.



or I guess you could always steal someones clothes and say you're Gogo.

that is sexy, but I don't think my boobs are good enough for that

[Tasura]

I'm contemplating going to AniMaritime, it's like the only Con this side of half the country. I doubt that I'll cosplay, if I do it just be in Kendo gear so I can face beat people with a shanai.
