eleanor Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Has anyone cosplayed before at an anime convention? I'm going as Yuffie (she rulz!), but my friend doesn't know who to go as. We're trying to find an anime character that has short, brown hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juu Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 [color=ff00cc] [size=1]I've cosplayed once. ^_^; It was in Korea, and my cousins and I just wore costumes to a convention in a mall together for Children's Day. (May 3, my birthday! ^ .^) Anywho, I dressed up as 98 Athena, and here's what the costume kinda looked like. ^^;[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Cosplay is a very scary thing, as proven by this photo of me dressed up as an anime girl. [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=365065[/IMG] Do not highlight this unless you want to know the horrible truth...[spoiler]It's not me.[/spoiler] Seriously, cosplay is something I'll never understand. Could either of you explain [i]why[/i] people do this? I just don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treton_noir Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 that really scared me for a minute. ive seen a lot of pics of people dressed up as characters, but never done it. i tend to see this along the same lines as a Star Trek fan dressing up as a "whatever" for a Star Trek convention. *hates star trek* it just seems kind of dumb. i can understand being a fan. i can handle going to the con. a t-shirt or something is fine, but an all out costume is something totally different, especially when the costume doesnt even look right. or to summarize this post... "blah. blah. blah." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I've never been a fan of cosplay so when I attend the anime conventions I do not dress up. I think it Cosplay is one of those guilty sins that takes away from the genre. I can understand dressing up for halloween as an anime character but at every convention that's just a bit...overboard in my book. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 [color=hotpink][size=1]Well, I know that if I went to an anime convention, I'd HAVE to cosplay. It's always been something I've wanted to do. But it wouldn't do a halfway job. I'd go full out, making sure my costume was perfect and that it looked exactly like the original. Some people do VERY nice jobs cosplaying while others look like crap. If I knew how to sew, I'd have it made. *sighs a bit* If I did cosplay, my first project would be to make all of Chi's dresses so I could be beautiful forever...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Asuka Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 [color=hotpink][size=1]I have a good friend who lives in Alabama who does Cosplay and she makes her own costumes. Last time I saw her picture, she was making a Ruri costume. It looked pretty good, too. She got a wig and everything.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 [size=1]Cosplay has always been kind of scary to me. I doubt that I would ever dress up like my favorite anime character, unless I was with a large group that was dressing up as well. That way I could hide behind the group if I got really embarassed. Besides, I know absolutely nothing about sewing. There are always costume shops though, so maybe I could do that.. bleh. -Shy[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transtic Nerve Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I refuse to cosplay unless I'm goign to be the absolute best one there. Which is taking me a while to think up so I'm not going to for a while. I want five people following me at all times asking to take my picture. One day...

Change Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Last time I checked, Shiji didn't tower over Asuka by 11 inches... I look like no one in Evangelion sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
