yo, suck it up. there's thousands of people in a cramped enviornment and you expect them to be happy because of your supposed "ability" to feed off of "negative energy" made you fall down?

look, you're not an anime character. you cant feel chi/ki/or pass out because someones having a bad day and you "sensed" it. you were most likely just being an attention whore so you could push this "be happy, we're at a rave" crap onto the people who were probably in bad moods for a good reason.

-regarding cosplayers-
wtf is it with these cosplay kids? they come up and ask you if you know who they are and when you dont know, then they get all pissy. am i supposed to keep track of every single fucking off-the-wall anime just incase i run into some fanatic? seriously, did i miss that memo or somethin?

sorry, i couldnt tell you were a completely different character because your schoolgirl suit has a different hue of blue.

EAT ME

ok, now onto the pictures. they were taken by KrazyKoreanFrank utilizing his "have them pose with a plushie" strategy......this will be a very 56k unfriendly zone, so beware

(an alternate version of the wand chick can be found here.

:tu: Faust (bag head), black chick, and "stupid-fob-chick".

Everyone else sucks.

This is possibly the only cool cosplay ever.

Points for:
Good character selection
Nice reproduction of weapon
Nice reproduction of outfit

Super ultra mega bonus points for:
Hiding his face

Yeah, everyone should go to these conventions as Faust. The world would be a better place.

Huh? Doesn't that character always hide his face behind a paper bag?

No shit sherlock.

Wow. Thanks.

I sure am glad that Damian79 decided to come and help this thread out. We were starving for the horribly obvious before he came along.

I thought it might have been a different character from some obscure anime.

wow, some good looking cosplaying chicks. who knew.

These chicks look scary. Who are they cosplaying as? Looks familiar.

Heather! She even has the pipe, sweet.

The chick with the pipe is someone after my own heart. What is she? A Metro city schoolteacher? :lol:

What makes you think that first pic is of a chick?

hehe

That King is pretty sweet.

Yuna is kind of hot.

The folks you were asking about, Dolemite, aren't really cosplaying as anything - they're dressed in EGL (Elegant Gothic Lolita) fashion. The girl on the right in the second pic, her outfit is pretty nice.

And while I dislike most cosplay, I love the girl doing Heather. Great costume.

I think the trouble with most cosplay is

1. People don't put enough thought and work into a costume. They use the wrong type of clothes, and don't put enough detail into them.

2. People dress up as people that they look nothing like. Fat old men as sailor moon for example.

Size-appropriate cosplay makes me really happy. After seeing a thousand fat 30 year old Narutos, Sasukes, and Sakuras at Otakon last year, I was pleased to see a fairly large dude dressing up as Chouji at Anime Boston, and not someone he could never, ever pass for.

I couldn't think of a way to compliment him on it. You can't really do that tactfully. "Hey, fatass. Glad you picked a costume you could shove your rolls into." So I went back to flailing my arms around and looking like a retard while trying to play Pop'n Music.

it's because they ARE chicks. there was a huge influx of the "gothic lolita/victorian dress" style of outfits this year. they werent dressing up like characters, just goin with the whole japanese loves goth style i guess.

oh btw...the fatty with the hammer told korean frank he was "great teacher onizuka"(with a slight lisp).

AHAHAH. Now that I understand it it's somehow twice as repulsive and upsetting. If he had to do a GTO costume, he could have picked one that involved keeping that lumpy mass of flesh in some sort of shirt.

Thanks for clearing that up. And I agree about the Heather cosplayer.

Good guess, but she's actually Heather from Silent Hill 3.

i would've said the person in the front was the dude in Dir en Grey, and the one behind it is Mana from Malice Mizer. lord knows that everyone fucking cosplays as them.

I think the blonde haired EGL is supposed to be Kyo from Dir En Grey.


ps- The guy behind the black chick is cosplaying as a motherfucking CHAOS LEGION character. that was the worst game ever. KAWAII BISHIES! ^___^V

pps-yes, the Faust is cool.

I never thought I'd see the day when cosplay for Kelly Osborn would become popular.

What's up with the hamster? :wtf:

http://www.pimp-productions.com/medi...os/gto-guy.JPG

When I saw that, my first reaction was "Why the hell is that fat cracker cosplaying as John Henry at an anime convention?"

asking a chick to pose for a picture when you look normal like us(and we deffinetly dont look like anime fans) is almost impossible.

but...

when korean frank bought that hamtaro and started asking chicks to pose with it they couldnt refuse the plushie goodness and became instant attention whores for teh camera.

That actually is a great idea. If I end up going to Anime Iowa, I'll have to take my stuffed Kero with me and do the same.

"Uh, excuse me, but Kero here really thinks you've got a great set of tits. Could he possible get a picture of himself nuzzled between them?"

I don't know who most of those people are pretending to be.
