I plan on visiting Taiwan this summer :]

(wosh! your princess TuTu cosplay is amazing! : D )

And welcome to the thread! ^^ [


--------------------

haha~ As far as age is concerned, I'm pretty sure that my age is the outliar of the group...

=A=. As you can all see, my immaturity flows out with my words~ xD

[Slum Drunk]

Wow, am I late to the party. Seafood Soup and I are in Minneapolis. I'd love to meet other serious Minnesota cosplayers.

[Animangafreak]

YAY! You're in luck! ^_^ We're trying to decide times and places to cosplay at Pizza Hut, IHOP, and at a Japanese tea thing at the Como Zoo sometime this year. We haven't decided where or quite when yet.

Maybe something from RomeoxJuliet....heehee. School's got me obsessive over it right now. ^_^

lol. i've tried watching that anime and its really good. and its really good animation. ^^

and welcome everyone new! *taps magical wand*

since at kakkiocon is like the launch of the glacier summit (sp?) and Para Para Dancing and Ganguro style. is anyone going to be participating in this???
--i plan on attending since i'm obsessed with para para and their styles--but again i'm wierd. if anyone would want to get together before then and learn a para para routine and dress up and enter the competition it sounds like fun. i think you win money too. --muhaha money for cosplay!!--

[AxelisMyHomeboy]

Hey, I'm up for learning new things! XD
I'm already trying to learn the Hare Hare Yukai dance so my friend who's cosplaying as Byakuya and I can just burst out randomly into dance at the con. XD
She's also going to go up to random people and give them roses and stuff like that. Sounds pretty crazy to me. XD

[Xuki-kun]

AxelisMyHomeboy: XDD I lol'd at the random roses, haha~

I've tried learning the Hare Hare Yukai dance. And failed. Lol. Maybe I should try again? haha..
I've actually had more success with the Lucky Star dance..:O

SlamDrunk: Welcome to the thread! XD

x__x. I'm feeling completely speechless and can't think of anything to say..haha..>>; But..Welcome! (again.)

Please excuse my rudeness, xDD

[AxelisMyHomeboy]

OMG. I failed the Hare hare Yukai dance too, and I'm not getting much better with the little practice I've had. -_-"

I saw My Fair Lady tonight. It was really good!
Yes...random....XD

[looniac]

Xuki-kun: Where in Taiwan are you from?!? I lived in Taipei for six months studying Mandarin. Do you speak? When are you going and for how long? Just visiting family, or...?

Sorry for all the questions. I get really excited when someone is from Taiwan because I love it so much! Everyone gives me crap for learning Chinese instead of Japanese, but I just say "screw you, Taiwan rocks". >.<

Thanks for the compliment on Tutu! I need to fix the wings and the tails because they got pretty trashed from running around v.v but otherwise I think I will cosplay her again. She is so much fun!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So what cons are everyone going to? What are their planned cosplays?

Me:

Anime Iowa 2008:

Nana Osaki (NANA)

Miwako Sakurada (Paradise Kiss)

and non-anime related Gothic Lolita. Maybe will re-cosplay either Princess Tutu or Ed from Cowboy Bebop (especially since I finally replaced her goggles that I broke!)

[AxelisMyHomeboy]

I'm going to Detour and Kakkoi Con

For Detour:
Kirara form InuYasha on Friday and Sunday
And Axel from KH2 on Saturday

Kakkoi Con:
No Idea. XD I want to try something different, so I think I might pull together either a Saria costume or an Edgeworth costume from Phoenix Wright. Not sure yet though.

[Animangafreak]

I'll hopefully go to the Kakkoi con on August 1-3 2008. I'd really like to go as Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. But I don't think I would be able to stay for all three days. I'd like to but we'll have to see. If it works out, maybe I could go as Kyo once? No idea.

[rainbow_dancer]

yay for kyo!!!
kakkio kon is so far away...i'm hoping to get hooked on an anime that has awesome/cute/girly magic girl uniform. ^^
i also to do a fruits basket...but i'm not sure who quite yet (my sig says tohru but her costume doesn't seem much fun.XD)

so does anyone have a good anime to watch??? i'm kinda running out of shows to watch. XD

[AxelisMyHomeboy]

Haha. I do! XD

I recently got hooked on Chobits. Chii is so cute! (Her costumes are waaaay out of my league though. =_=) It's a little perverted sometimes, but then again what anime isn't? XD
I'm also a huge fan of DNAngel, so I highly recommend that one as well. I won't list any others because it would take a veeeeery long post. XD

[Animangafreak]

Lol for D. N. Angel. But it isn't very popular is it? I've never been able to see the anime very much. Right now, I'm working on finishing up Naruto (YAY) before I go back to Naruto Shippuuden and start that. Then I was trying out the Japanese version of Yu-gi-oh, the famed 0 season. That one starts from the very beginning. Also, I'm watching Ranma 1/2, starting Bleach, and looking around to find where I can watch that Ouran High School Post Club, or whatever it is. I'm actually looking to expand a bit more too and find an anime I can watch by myself. I usually end up watching it all with the rest of my siblings.

Hey, if I could attend more than one day of the Kakkoicon (90% no) I could be Kyo one day and you could be Kagura? Then there would be many jokes and all. :P Or whatever.

[AxelisMyHomeboy]

OMG! I need to watch Ouran High School host Club! XD
I'm trying to broaden my anime watching as well. I want to be able to recommend a lot of different genres to people for my project. That's why I started Chobits, and I'm going to start Trigun, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Azumanga Daioh, Rozen Maiden, and a bunch of others. XD

I think if I can learn to sew pretty well I might make a costume to go as Willy from Romeo x Juliet. XD Very slim chance though. -_-"

Oh yeah, and my classmates and I are doing a free hugs thing I think at Nicolet Mall or somewhere downtown on Wednesday night! XD

[Animangafreak]

Lol! Free hugs is like very interesting. Maybe I'll try that too someday after I get used to cosplaying or doing weird stuff in public. X] What would be even funnier is if someone cosplayed as some cute character and did a free hugs thing at a convention XD.

Oh, I'm trying to watch Rurouni Kenshin too (Go Kenshin!!!) then Samurai X.

I figured out I'm going to just try and sew up my Ed Elric costume myself. It'll save me loads of money. Or I'll just sell things online too. I got a black, a green, and a blue college graduation robes. Too bad one wasn't red. Anyone interested? o(^w^)o I'm sure they could be used for something cosplayish to someone, just can't figure out for what. O.o This Cosplay Marketplace is very useful.
