Uninteresting cosplay blather!

Mon Jan 14, 2008, 10:04 PM
Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments/critiques/feedback/encouragement/everything! I'm sorry it takes me some time to reply (if I do at all >_< ) but I do read them all and treasure/learn from each and every one! :typerhappy:!


If the ultra-geeky-but-super-fun past-time of cosplay doesn't interest you at all, then I recommend you don't waste precious time with this journal! :giggle:! Sorry to spam your inboxes :hug:!

I know I'm years behind the times, but I started reading Bleach...

And by started, I mean I read 1-305 in about... two days or so. The day after that I ran to the fabric store and started an Arrankar Halibel cosplay >_>;. Do I have the breast size or skin tone for it? No, not at all, but that's not going to stop me!!! The Hakama is more or less complete... thankfully I've folded hakama for Iaido/Kendo just about eleventy-billion times, so I had great reference going into it :blahblah:.

I remember watching the first episode of the anime two years ago and thinking it was boring as heck! I'm glad I gave the manga a go... I would give an explanation as to why I enjoy it, but I'm quite certain 99% of those who read this have been following the series for far, far longer than a noobling such as I XD. I'm thinking... you should possibly expect fan art.

Hopefully I'll get to attend Fanime '08 with the rest of the Gaia people! Dressing as....
1. Bleach - Espada, Halibel.
2. D. Grayman - Custom Rinalee (hopefully... I haven't started this one yet) ... I honestly think her outfit is a little boring compared to Allen, Kanda and Rabi's.
3. BATGIRL - Cassandra Cain!!!! Is it against the rules to wear Americomic costumes to Anime conventions? :o.
4. If Batgirl isn't allowed into Fanime, then maybe Kagura from Gintama! Seems like an easy cosplay and I just *love* the character :d.

It's literally been four years since I've cosplayed. I completely blame my cubicle-neighbor, [link] .

Who will be attending Fanime '08? (Or for that matter, Wondercon '08) :D Will you be wearing Bleach, DGM, or *gasp* BATMAN!?

  • Mood: Tired
  • Listening to: Mars Volta
  • Reading: Bleach
  • Watching: Stargate SG-1
  • Playing: Call of Duty 4, Guilty Gear
  • Eating: Fettucine Alfredo!
  • Drinking: Green Tea

:iconjenzee:
Oh shiet........
:icongem2niki:
There's a lot of DGM cosplayer just to warn you...esp lenalee!! and allen...and rabi...and kanda...haha.

I haven't caught up with Bleach...only somewhere in when they enter the Arrancar HQ or whatever it's called.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhrrrghhhhhhh!!! Yeah, that's one of the reasons I hesitate to do Rinali. I was also unsure about Halibel since she's from Bleach, but I havn't seen much cosplay of her yet so hopefully it'll be okay *crosses fingers*. NAAAAAAANCYYYY YOU SHOULD COSPLAY WITH ME/US :D :D :D!
:icongem2niki:
LOL. We already have our DGM cosplay....but I think my group are retiring from it. I don't wanna do Bleach ;O; Hmm...the only thing left is Gintama..IF ONLY I FOLLOWED THE SERIES!! :cry:

*googles at what you want to cosplay from Bleach...* Her boobs are hanging down!!! O_O

GO AS BATGIRL ANYWAY. I think I saw a few Storm Troopers at AX 06 and people were cool with it.
I really am hoping I'll have time [and the money] to attend Fanime. I've only thought of one thing to cosplay as and it'd be Kuramori from Haibane Renmei. I still have yet to watch all of it though...curse me. D:
Maybe I'll do that tomorrow...
:iconlychi:
Ah, Bleach! Interestingly enough, I just caught up with some of it yesterday :O And it's a great time for you to be reading/getting into the series; a new movie just came out Mid December-ish (though... it'll take another long while for it to come over here. So maybe the timing isn't perfect, unless you're willing to wait on it :O )

I also agree that I found the anime episodes quite boring in the beginning, and dropped off watching it before episode 30 came out... though I think I am just biased because I read the manga first, and the animation was quite choppy after the impressive opening song :O

Anyway, ending my own Bleach rambles-- have fun cosplaying, it seems incredibly fun! I've only done it once, but that was before I ever started doing AA (and to top off the Bleach coincidence, it was a shinigami outfit from the series ! )

And ... does that mean you're going to Fanime 08? I'm very excited! I hope to see you there (=
