Trigun is one of the more popular shows. I remember this
guy also used this costume at Sakura Con too.
The second picture is of Wolfwood, nice costume but heck,
I would not want to have to carry his cross gun around the
con.

An anime con would probably be a little incomplete if it
didn't have at least a few Sailor Moon warriors. At least,
there wasn't any guys who were. They can get pretty scary
looking. I suppose it was for the best they were still in
hiding.
|
|
Gundam Wing is also a popular show. However, it lacks
female characters for women to do. But then again, I suppose
that doesn't stop girls from dressing up as Duo.
|
|
|
Utena was also a pretty popular show for costumes. In
retrospect what is it with all these weird female
relationship shows?
|
|
For a show that most people had a hard enough time
pronoucing let alone spelling. Sekendai Hoshin Engi or a
year later renamed to Soul Hunters when it was released by
ADV. Back then, I just called it the flying hippo show. You
will know why once you see the opening theme or the show and
notice what the lead character rides as his stead.

Final Fantasy is always a fan favourite. I never really
liked the newer final fantasys like 9 or 10 as much as the 7
or 8's. However, Tifa is one of my favourite ones.

This is where your knowledge of anime really comes in
handy or to your detriment. A girl in a blue ninja outfit.
hmmm.. Misau from Runouni Kenshin or Katsumi from Dead or
Alive.

One of the easiest costumes to have for an anime con, you
typical seifuku sailor style school uniform. I suppose it
brings out all the uniform fetishes. Then again, I have seen
some girls and unfortunate some guys who really really DO
NOT belong in a school uniform. I guess an good analogy is,
did you ever see a Starfleet Officer that is over 300+
pounds? There is a reason why....
|
|
Escaflowne is also another girl favourite. However, not
too many think that Hitomi's school outfit is very exciting.
Now playing the bad guys... well that is something
different. I guess it was the leather..

A relatively new show for the most part, but Digi-charat
always produces some cute characters to make costumes for.
|
|
This is a picture of me at my booth. I had made this for
San Deigo Con a few years back. It still sorta fits. I would
like to thank the guy at www.fansview.com for taking most of
these pictures since I was behind my dealer's table.
|
|
|
Neon Genesis Evangelion is also a very good and easy show
to make costumes for.
|
|
Another one of those ambigious ones. Could be a Slayers
character, could be something out of Final Fantasy. But I am
going to go with Emilo from Psychic Force.

A pair of Devil Hunter Yohko's.
A pair of Dottas (Daughters) from Soceror Hunters.
|
|
Of course, Dragonball is a popular show. Although I would
have to say the main characters like Goku, Gohan, Goten, and
even Kuren are too boring to do. Trunks and Vegitta seem to
be a little more do-able, even by female cosplayers.
|
|
|
Slayers has a lot of wacko characters. However, of the
most of them, I see the fewest of the main characters such
as Lina and Naga... By the way, they aren't pictured....

Me and Kris in the loading dock with boxes full of anime
goods to sell. As well, as a few boxes of "presents" that
we kindly left the convention as our "tip" for their
"awesome" service...
Let me give you a hint what it was. It normally comes
in one large 4 foot x 8 foot sheet and you build houses with
it.
