Ahh, such a shame Anjeline didn't show up to cosplay this time around.

Liddo-kun · 2013-10-13, 10:05

@Julio C.

Actually, I've met Anjeline during Cosmania. But we were not able to take pics.

She passed to me some pics yesterday.. she worked hard to complete this Mikasa costume.

.

Palsa-San · 2013-10-13, 21:07

Awesome work Liddo-kun, you got some great pictures.

Azuma Denton · 2013-10-14, 05:03

Hoo, Anjeline is excellent as usual...

I also love the Crystal Maiden cosplay.

Tsundere Louise · 2013-10-15, 04:52

As usual, your report photos are great, too bad that the photos are sometime blurry.
For the cosplayers, I liked that Crystal Maiden cosplayed by Marrey, though I don't know the character. Karen's cosplay is cute too, though the same, I don't know what it is from. Misaki Mei's cosplay by Jamela was also cute, so was the girl that cosplayed Kobato from Haganai. Raine;s Shana costume was great, though that sword was really weird to me. ^^' I also liked Show's "random maid" costume and One Piece guys. Sanji almost looked like the real deal.^^ Moving on, Ore no Nounai Chocolat was so cute that I would want to cuddle with her. I wonder how many people shouted "Shameimaru!" while looking at Mica's cosplay, ehehe. Toradora cosplay trio was super, so was the another Taiga (her tsun face was cute^^) and I also liked, that Audrey cosplayed as Kinomoto Sakura. Good to see that some people like older series.

Moving on aside from the cosplayers. Cool that you guys have that Naruto movie, though is that a really the legit release? I never saw prices being print on the covers anywhere... Pocky fans got 2 for 1 price, huh? Those things are really pricy, I prefer cheaper Mikado. :P Those Japanlover pins were cute, that Kuma-chan hat you've got is so adorable.

@Palsa-san

Wow, you're a regular commenter. Thanks. I'll try to have more pics this coming Octo Con.
Comments inspire me to keep on posting.

@Azuma

Thanks. Here, I have one more Anjeline pic.
It's clearer than the first ones I posted.

@Tsundere

Thanks for the comment, and sorry if there' more blurred pics this time. Well, my hands are a bit more unsteady than usual. You know what happened at my house right? I'll try to have clearer pics next convention.

The name of the Crystal Maiden character is Rylai - I think she's a character from the game. Karen is just doing a costrip - because we haven't had the chance to properly cut her wig.

That item's a postcard, not stickers.

Thanks Linda. I also got a few pics from Octo Con 2 last Sunday.

Just need some time to sort them out. Will have the pics up on this thread in a day or two.

Liddo-kun · 2013-10-26, 04:39

Octo Con 2

Hi. Just finished attending Octo Con 2. It was held at SM Megamall Megatrade Hall 3, last Oct 20. The special feature of this event is guest taiwanese cosplayer Neneko. One of my friends was lucky to have a pic with her.

Ok, without any further delay. Here are the pics.

4th Floor

First pic for the day is Rin Chii. Sorry, I wasn't able to ask the name of the character that she's cosplaying. She seems to be in a rush to go somewhere. Cute neko ears.

.

5th Floor

Went up the escalator, and unexpectedly saw a friend. Djonielyn cosplaying as Acchan from AKB0048. She's the friend who got very lucky today. I'll tell more at other parts of this report.

.

Moving on to another area in the hallway. Met another friend. Tiana cosplaying as Black Rock Shooter (Dragonslayer version). Huge sword and claws.

Ok, now bought a ticket and proceeded to enter Megatrade Hall 3.

Megatrade Hall 3

On entering, saw another friend. Hmm, I guess it's a small world. Seeing plenty of people that I know today. Netski working at the Geolica booth.

.

There seems to be a drawing contest going on..

Anna Williams cosplayer. Wasn't able to ask her name. She seems to be busy preparing for something, and I don't want to disturb.

Moving on inside I met two versions of Miku. Miku is sort of a recurring character in conventions - always see people cosplaying her. Yamako cosplaying as the Love is War version (green hair), and Rui cosplaying as Satsune Miku (black hair).

Exploring a little more, I saw the Vogue Royal Cosplay merchandise area. This is a very nice place to buy costumes and wigs.

Ziella, one of the booth girls at Vogue Royal.

Next, went back near the entrance and saw Olive. She's cosplaying as Eve from Parasite Eve. Those are large mutated hands. O_O

Olive is with her friend Joe (in maid costume). Joe gave me a coscard, so that it would be easier to locate them on FB.

.

Went to the area of the Megatrade Hall where they are selling snacks. And there I saw Mika, she's a cosplayer we've seen before at a previous con (Oh No Manga Cosplay Camp). But I wasn't able to ask her name there. This time I was able to ask. Cute Kinomoto Sakura cosplay with long tail.

.

Saber cosplay by Meredy. Cosplaying is better started at a young age.

I was surprised that she can pose so well. She is Mika's companion.

.

Just a few steps away from little Saber. I saw Blezs, she's cosplaying as Nurse Akali from League of Legends.

.

Take a little break from taking photos of cosplayers. I went to the area where people sells drawings, keychains. Hmm, some nice souvenirs can be found here.

.

Went to the stage because the cosplay catwalk is starting. Sorry for blurred, my camera is not good at taking pics of people who are moving. Pics here are Kirakishou (she has scary background music while walking o_o ), War Machine, Meredy now wearing her armour, and my friend Djonielyn (dance and lip sync to Aitakatta).

.

Cosplay catwalk has finished. Now resumed walking around looking for more cosplayers to take pic of. Saw Yanna near the drawing area. She's cosplaying as Junko Enoshima from Dangan Ronpa.

Spoiler:

Went back the area where they sell snacks. Found Naomi, another person that I've met at a previous convention. Cosplaying as Hungary from Hetalia Axis Powers. Hmm, strange.. she doesn't have her frying pan this time.

Taking a little rest.

My companions Michelle and Jen. They're wearing maid costumes.

.

A look at the schedule, and at the cute Neneko-sama. :3

.

15 Raindrop

Good thing we were near the stage. I heard a performance going on, and saw the 15 Raindrop dance group. They're wearing maid outfits for this performance. The members are: Ross, Diana, Aya, Jean, and Cheenee.

Decided to go out into the hallway after the raindrop performance.

Outside Megatrade Hall 3, hallway.

Eun Eun cosplaying as Yoshino from Date A Live. Seeing nice Date a Live cosplays like this, is one of the reasons why I started watching the anime.

.

Jesse with another version of Miku. Hmm, blue hair with panda bag. First time to see this version.

.

Nami cosplay by Nhel

Zatsune Miku cosplay by Chara. So many Miku today.

Female Mario cosplay by Danica. There are times when she jumps, and then her friend tries to take a photo while she's in the mid-air. XD

.

Momo and Yui cosplaying as character from High School of the Dead

Inori Yuzuriha from Guilty Crown, cosplay by Jen-chan

Hmm, it's now about past 3 pm in the afternoon. I went back to the "square". It's a fenced area that the guards have setup on one part of the hallway. No one allowed to take photos outside this "square". Honestly, I think this is a bit harsh treatment. We are forced to take photos in a small area.

Saw Tiana again. She gave me candy, but i couldn't eat it because I was so thirsty at that time. Placed candy inside bag. ",)

.

If there are Mario girls, then there are also Luigi girls that can be found in this con.

Luigi cosplay by Kuromuhime

.

Utau Hoshina cosplay by Chiren Fuu

.

Decided to go to the other end of the hallway.

Mario and Luigi together. Cosplay by Rizeru (Mario) and Kureiru (Luigi).

.

Silent Hill cosplayers. Scary...

The nurses.. (the part of my notes where the silent hill cosplayers wrote is a bit jumbled like a mystery, but they seem to be a part of the cosplay group Aaalyssie)

Cello from Hack // Link. Cosplay by Ame Katsuragi.

.

Walked back to the "square area" (place where guards have setup a fenced area for cosplayers and photographers). And unexpectedly found another friend.

Hanji Zoe cosplay by Sonoda Koharu. It's well done, in my opinion. She even has a book. ^^

.

Spoiler:

Walked along the rails, and found an AKB0048 cosplayer.

Kojiharu cosplay by Jaszy and her friend Rio.

.

A friendly hug. Karuta Roromiya and Shirakiin Ririchiyo cosplay by Lyssa (Karuta) and Aki Mori (Ririchiyo).

It's now late in the afternoon. And found another friend. Cristel (lolita costume) and Mary Grace (Elwyn from Shining Tear). And the Gilgamesh cosplayer is Renz.

.

Cristel can draw, and she can make ribbons from the same fabric that she used to make her costume.

Spoiler:

And now, these are among the more unique cosplays I've seen on this con. Ehm cosplaying as Orion from Amnesia, and Neji cosplaying as Mezumaru from Rise of the Youkai Clan.

Going back inside Megatrade Hall 3

It's now late afternoon. Getting a bit tired at this point.

Maid cosplay by Tina. Asked her if she's a part of 15 Raindrop group. Told me that she's not a member. Well, she's still cute anyway.

And exploring a bit further inside, I found 15 Raindrop. Ross seems to be the leader of this maid dance group.

.

Taking a look at some souvenirs being sold by the many shops inside.

.

And one more maid, her name is Remielyn. Oh, now I noticed. It's not only Miku that's plentiful in this con. There are also plenty of maid cosplayers. ^^

Myuria cosplay by Angel. Seems to be another game character.

.

Gelli cosplaying as Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail. She sang Love Survive at the Voca Battle Competition. I tried taking videos of Voca Battle. Though unfortunately, my camera is running out of batteries, and I was not able to get a single video. Gomen. ><

Went over to the drawing area, and there I saw Michiro Cojutra. She's good at drawing. She can draw for you, at a small fee of course. She's a cheerful person to talk to, and she showed me her drawings that she would like to be added here.

.

There's also a pair of Axis Powers Hetalia cosplayers at the drawing area. Crisea as Nyotalia Austria and Rin as Nyotalia Romano. I asked them if they are booth girls, but they told me that they're there because they are helping a friend.

.

Jocy and Joey. They sang Snow Halation (from Love Live School Idol Project) at Voca Battle. They did well. It's just too bad that my cam is already too low on battery power to record.

Rider cosplay by Misaki and Mimi cosplaying a character from High School of the Dead. Those are some mean looking swords. O_O

.

Perona cosplay by Maan, and with her is her sister.

.

And all together now.

.

Went outside of Megatrade Hall 3

Saw another friend outside.

Camille cosplaying as a neko maid. This is her 2nd costume. She was wearing a blue costume when I saw her earlier in the day.

Natsumi cosplaying as Kakashi

Hmm, feeling so thirsty. Time to go to the Oh No Manga Cafe. ^^

Went back inside Megatrade hall 3

Found one more chibi cosplayer. Took photo with permission from her mom. Lindsay cosplaying as Draculara from Monster High

.

Plenty of powder and make-up, but it's an interesting cosplay. Cosplay by Lyka and Carlisle.

Maid cosplay by Ann

Gakuen Alice student cosplay by Renka-chan, and Tomoyo Daidouji cosplay by Gwen. Renka-chan is someone that I've known from a previous con. Told me that she got tired of cosplaying as Kinomoto Sakura, so she's doing something different now. ^^

Some Panda products

Djonelyn, meet and greet with Neneko

And now, I'll show which one of my friends got so lucky today. It's none other than Djonielyn-chan. She was able to do a meet and greet with Neneko. Even able to hug Neneko, as well as get an autographed Oh No Magazine. So lucky. ><!!!!!!!

.

Some Neneko and Oh No! Manga products for sale. :3

.

Oh No! Manga Cafe

Visiting another friend - Pau, the girl in the middle with long yellow wig and cat ears. We ordered some refreshing drinks here, and my friends got some souvenir pics with the butlers.

.

Met Renka-chan and Gwen again. Renka has a large Kuma bag. o_o

.

Lavi Book Man cosplay by Nyl

.

I was taking one last look at the stores, when suddenly a girl in gothic dress with a drink is suddenly standing beside me. It's none other than Yuki-chan! Wow, so many of my friends are on this con. She got a bit angry at me for not recognizing her sooner. Gomen Yuki-chan, Liddo-kun is already quite tired. ><

Yuki-chan works for Otakuzine (it's an anime magazine).

.

And one more maid. Maid cosplay by Meejun Izumi.

Ib cosplay by Tryxy.

One more Miku before going home. Miku cosplay by Yunachi. She told me that her Miku got builled, so there's a patch. Poor Miku!

And a look at the stage. It's a "bring me" contest. In this pic, the staff asked the audience to bring the largest weapon. XD

There are people who are still drawing

And one last visit to the Vogue Royal area.

Mario girl Eilene - customer service representative.

Sad that it's now time to go home..

Went outside Megatrade Hall 3

Not over yet. Outside I met 3 Lucky Star cosplayers.

Anne, Camille, and Gennica. Cosplaying as Konata (Anne). Tsukasa (Camille) and Miyuki (Gennica).

.

And I saw Cristel and Mary Grace in the same area where I saw the LS cosers. At first I saw only Mary Grace, told me that she was left all alone. o_o! then her sister came. Took a goodbye pic. Have a safe trip home.

Not over yet, saw 3 more cosplayers nearby. Serenity, Chatty and Jonell. They're all doing a costrip.

And with my two friends Michelle and Jhen. One last pic before changing clothes and going home. This has been a fun convention.

Goodbye Octo Con 2, and hoping to attend Octo Con 3 next year. ",)

Pic taken after getting home:

Honestly, I don't have much to show. Have already given away to friends most of the stuffs that I bought.

What I have left..

Anime Magazine featuring Milky Holmes, panda earrings (will be a gift to someone later), and my poor ticket.

Well, that's all. Thank you for reading. Next report will be about Otaku Expo Reloaded, happening this coming November.

Azuma Denton · 2013-10-26, 06:15

No sighting of my favourite Anjeline this time??

Nvm, most of cosplayer in your FR is cute. Especially little ones.
Since when you become such a lolicon, liddo-kun??

FlavoryFantasy · 2013-10-26, 21:02

Huge report is huge (like always)

Like 'em all, but especially Kuromuhime as Luigi & Danica as Mario. \o/

Palsa-San · 2013-10-27, 01:00

Liddo-kun, you certainly know how to make it difficult for me; so many pictures of pure awesomeness, I can't comment on everything.

(but I want to! X_X)

I really liked Djonelyn's cosplay, the same goes with the other AKB0048 cosplays, they were all great.

The Anna Williams cosplay caught me by surprise, I haven't seen too many from Tekken, but as a long time fan of the series, I have to say that it's an awesome cosplay. ^_^
Mika and her sister's cosplays were both very cute, so were the Saw Yanna, Naomi and many more.
There were a whole lot of Mario and Luigi cosplays, all great; were they by any chance together or a coincidence?
Hanji Zoe cosplay by Sonoda Koharu is nicely done, and I added her on DeviantART. ^_^
Cristel's works are awesome, I really loved the bird artwork.

Angel's Myuria cosplay is from Star Ocean: The Last Hope; I have it on my XBox, it's an amazing game. ^_^
A quick note: Michiro Cojutara's DeviantART is http://cojutara.deviantart.com/ The address in the picture is a different person's (added).
I also liked the Hetalia cosplays. ^_^
There were so many awesome cosplays, I wish I could comment on all of them.

Tsundere Louise · 2013-10-27, 11:39

Your friend cosplaying Miku with that cute dress and a top hat looks absolutely gorgeous.^^ Satsune & Hatsune Miku looked really great, so was Mika with her CardCaptor Sakura neko cosplay (So cute~). Meredy as a loli-Saber... I bet that you just HAD to hug her, no one could resist such cuteness. Eun Eun cosplaying as Yoshino from Date A Live looked, Nhel as Nami from One Piece and Lucky Star cast looked really nice. Girl-Mario and Girl-Luigi together looked really funny, but in a nice way. ^^ Cello from Hack // Link... Now I have to read it, if it's anywhere in english.

You're always doing such great with those photos and everything. You must be very dedicated to attend at cons. ^^

Liddo-kun · 2013-10-27, 12:16

@Azuma Denton

Am not a lolicon. ><

Received a text from Anjeline before Octo Con 2 - the convention is the same day as her grandma's birthday, so she could not attend.

@King

Thanks for the info.

@Flavorfantasy

Thanks. Well, it's easy to move around on this convention.. it's probably one of the reasons I got many this time.

@Palsa-san

I was talking to Koharu and Cristel just awhile ago. And they liked your comment. They have replies for you.

Koharu-chan's reply:

Spoiler:

Cristel's reply (I told her that you also draw pics, everything she said here is referring to you):

Spoiler:

Oh, and I already know Cojutra's DA. I just didn't post the link because I haven't talked to her yet. If you want, you could also add Yanna - she gave her DA link today (edited my post).

@Tsundere

Thanks for the comment. Most of the cosplayers you mentioned would look at this thread anyway. Except for Meredy (she's too young), it's her mom who will look.

Hmm, and your comment for Eun Eun seems to be incomplete.

Well, it's a fun activity - but I can't go to every convention, because expenses on gas for the car and batteries for the cam become too much to handle for my budget. XD

Jesse with another version of Miku. Hmm, blue hair with panda bag. First time to see this version. . Nami cosplay by Nhel Zatsune Miku cosplay by Chara. So many Miku today. Female Mario cosplay by Danica. There are times when she jumps, and then her friend tries to take a photo while she's in the mid-air. XD . Momo and Yui cosplaying as character from High School of the Dead Inori Yuzuriha from Guilty Crown, cosplay by Jen-chan Hmm, it's now about past 3 pm in the afternoon. I went back to the "square". It's a fenced area that the guards have setup on one part of the hallway. No one allowed to take photos outside this "square". Honestly, I think this is a bit harsh treatment. We are forced to take photos in a small area. Saw Tiana again. She gave me candy, but i couldn't eat it because I was so thirsty at that time. Placed candy inside bag. ",) . If there are Mario girls, then there are also Luigi girls that can be found in this con. Luigi cosplay by Kuromuhime . Utau Hoshina cosplay by Chiren Fuu . Decided to go to the other end of the hallway. Mario and Luigi together. Cosplay by Rizeru (Mario) and Kureiru (Luigi). . . Silent Hill cosplayers. Scary... The nurses.. (the part of my notes where the silent hill cosplayers wrote is a bit jumbled like a mystery, but they seem to be a part of the cosplay group Aaalyssie) Cello from Hack // Link. Cosplay by Ame Katsuragi. . Walked back to the "square area" (place where guards have setup a fenced area for cosplayers and photographers). And unexpectedly found another friend. Hanji Zoe cosplay by Sonoda Koharu. It's well done, in my opinion. She even has a book. ^^ . . . . Spoiler: http://sonodakoharu.deviantart.com Walked along the rails, and found an AKB0048 cosplayer. Kojiharu cosplay by Jaszy and her friend Rio. . A friendly hug. Karuta Roromiya and Shirakiin Ririchiyo cosplay by Lyssa (Karuta) and Aki Mori (Ririchiyo). It's now late in the afternoon. And found another friend. Cristel (lolita costume) and Mary Grace (Elwyn from Shining Tear). And the Gilgamesh cosplayer is Renz. . Cristel can draw, and she can make ribbons from the same fabric that she used to make her costume. Spoiler: . And now, these are among the more unique cosplays I've seen on this con. Ehm cosplaying as Orion from Amnesia, and Neji cosplaying as Mezumaru from Rise of the Youkai Clan. Going back inside Megatrade Hall 3 It's now late afternoon. Getting a bit tired at this point. Maid cosplay by Tina. Asked her if she's a part of 15 Raindrop group. Told me that she's not a member. Well, she's still cute anyway. And exploring a bit further inside, I found 15 Raindrop. Ross seems to be the leader of this maid dance group. . Taking a look at some souvenirs being sold by the many shops inside. . . And one more maid, her name is Remielyn. Oh, now I noticed. It's not only Miku that's plentiful in this con. There are also plenty of maid cosplayers. ^^ Myuria cosplay by Angel. Seems to be another game character. . Gelli cosplaying as Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail. She sang Love Survive at the Voca Battle Competition. I tried taking videos of Voca Battle. Though unfortunately, my camera is running out of batteries, and I was not able to get a single video. Gomen. >< Went over to the drawing area, and there I saw Michiro Cojutra. She's good at drawing. She can draw for you, at a small fee of course. She's a cheerful person to talk to, and she showed me her drawings that she would like to be added here. . . . . There's also a pair of Axis Powers Hetalia cosplayers at the drawing area. Crisea as Nyotalia Austria and Rin as Nyotalia Romano. I asked them if they are booth girls, but they told me that they're there because they are helping a friend. . Jocy and Joey. They sang Snow Halation (from Love Live School Idol Project) at Voca Battle. They did well. It's just too bad that my cam is already too low on battery power to record. Rider cosplay by Misaki and Mimi cosplaying a character from High School of the Dead. Those are some mean looking swords. O_O . Perona cosplay by Maan, and with her is her sister. . And all together now. . Went outside of Megatrade Hall 3 Saw another friend outside. Camille cosplaying as a neko maid. This is her 2nd costume. She was wearing a blue costume when I saw her earlier in the day. Natsumi cosplaying as Kakashi Hmm, feeling so thirsty. Time to go to the Oh No Manga Cafe. ^^ Went back inside Megatrade hall 3 Found one more chibi cosplayer. Took photo with permission from her mom. Lindsay cosplaying as Draculara from Monster High . Plenty of powder and make-up, but it's an interesting cosplay. Cosplay by Lyka and Carlisle. Maid cosplay by Ann Gakuen Alice student cosplay by Renka-chan, and Tomoyo Daidouji cosplay by Gwen. Renka-chan is someone that I've known from a previous con. Told me that she got tired of cosplaying as Kinomoto Sakura, so she's doing something different now. ^^ Some Panda products Djonelyn, meet and greet with Neneko And now, I'll show which one of my friends got so lucky today. It's none other than Djonielyn-chan. She was able to do a meet and greet with Neneko. Even able to hug Neneko, as well as get an autographed Oh No Magazine. So lucky. ><!!!!!!! . Some Neneko and Oh No! Manga products for sale. :3 . . Oh No! Manga Cafe Visiting another friend - Pau, the girl in the middle with long yellow wig and cat ears. We ordered some refreshing drinks here, and my friends got some souvenir pics with the butlers. . . . . Met Renka-chan and Gwen again. Renka has a large Kuma bag. o_o . Lavi Book Man cosplay by Nyl . I was taking one last look at the stores, when suddenly a girl in gothic dress with a drink is suddenly standing beside me. It's none other than Yuki-chan! Wow, so many of my friends are on this con. She got a bit angry at me for not recognizing her sooner. Gomen Yuki-chan, Liddo-kun is already quite tired. >< Yuki-chan works for Otakuzine (it's an anime magazine). . And one more maid. Maid cosplay by Meejun Izumi. Ib cosplay by Tryxy. One more Miku before going home. Miku cosplay by Yunachi. She told me that her Miku got builled, so there's a patch. Poor Miku! And a look at the stage. It's a "bring me" contest. In this pic, the staff asked the audience to bring the largest weapon. XD There are people who are still drawing And one last visit to the Vogue Royal area. Mario girl Eilene - customer service representative. Sad that it's now time to go home.. Went outside Megatrade Hall 3 Not over yet. Outside I met 3 Lucky Star cosplayers. Anne, Camille, and Gennica. Cosplaying as Konata (Anne). Tsukasa (Camille) and Miyuki (Gennica). . And I saw Cristel and Mary Grace in the same area where I saw the LS cosers. At first I saw only Mary Grace, told me that she was left all alone. o_o! then her sister came. Took a goodbye pic. Have a safe trip home. Not over yet, saw 3 more cosplayers nearby. Serenity, Chatty and Jonell. They're all doing a costrip. And with my two friends Michelle and Jhen. One last pic before changing clothes and going home. This has been a fun convention. Goodbye Octo Con 2, and hoping to attend Octo Con 3 next year. ",) Pic taken after getting home: Honestly, I don't have much to show. Have already given away to friends most of the stuffs that I bought. What I have left.. Anime Magazine featuring Milky Holmes, panda earrings (will be a gift to someone later), and my poor ticket. Well, that's all. Thank you for reading. Next report will be about Otaku Expo Reloaded, happening this coming November. __________________ Clearing 4 domain with Qiqi / MTGNexus - Magic Art Gallery / AnimEVO 2020 - EFZ tournament / Cool Japan Festival 2015 Last edited by Liddo-kun; 2013-11-26 at 00:00.

Palsa-San General of Aurda Graphic Designer Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Winston-Salem, North Carolina, U.S.	Liddo-kun, you certainly know how to make it difficult for me; so many pictures of pure awesomeness, I can't comment on everything. (but I want to! X_X) I really liked Djonelyn's cosplay, the same goes with the other AKB0048 cosplays, they were all great. The Anna Williams cosplay caught me by surprise, I haven't seen too many from Tekken, but as a long time fan of the series, I have to say that it's an awesome cosplay. ^_^ Mika and her sister's cosplays were both very cute, so were the Saw Yanna, Naomi and many more. There were a whole lot of Mario and Luigi cosplays, all great; were they by any chance together or a coincidence? Hanji Zoe cosplay by Sonoda Koharu is nicely done, and I added her on DeviantART. ^_^ Cristel's works are awesome, I really loved the bird artwork. Angel's Myuria cosplay is from Star Ocean: The Last Hope; I have it on my XBox, it's an amazing game. ^_^ A quick note: Michiro Cojutara's DeviantART is http://cojutara.deviantart.com/ The address in the picture is a different person's (added). I also liked the Hetalia cosplays. ^_^ There were so many awesome cosplays, I wish I could comment on all of them. __________________

Tsundere Louise D-Don't stare, baka... Join Date: Sep 2012 Location: Tristinian Academy of Magic	Your friend cosplaying Miku with that cute dress and a top hat looks absolutely gorgeous.^^ Satsune & Hatsune Miku looked really great, so was Mika with her CardCaptor Sakura neko cosplay (So cute~). Meredy as a loli-Saber... I bet that you just HAD to hug her, no one could resist such cuteness. Eun Eun cosplaying as Yoshino from Date A Live looked, Nhel as Nami from One Piece and Lucky Star cast looked really nice. Girl-Mario and Girl-Luigi together looked really funny, but in a nice way. ^^ Cello from Hack // Link... Now I have to read it, if it's anywhere in english. You're always doing such great with those photos and everything. You must be very dedicated to attend at cons. ^^ __________________

Liddo-kun is this so? Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Gradius Home World	@Azuma Denton Am not a lolicon. >< Received a text from Anjeline before Octo Con 2 - the convention is the same day as her grandma's birthday, so she could not attend. @King Thanks for the info. @Flavorfantasy Thanks. Well, it's easy to move around on this convention.. it's probably one of the reasons I got many this time. @Palsa-san I was talking to Koharu and Cristel just awhile ago. And they liked your comment. They have replies for you. Koharu-chan's reply: Spoiler: Cristel's reply (I told her that you also draw pics, everything she said here is referring to you): Spoiler: Oh, and I already know Cojutra's DA. I just didn't post the link because I haven't talked to her yet. If you want, you could also add Yanna - she gave her DA link today (edited my post). @Tsundere Thanks for the comment. Most of the cosplayers you mentioned would look at this thread anyway. Except for Meredy (she's too young), it's her mom who will look. Hmm, and your comment for Eun Eun seems to be incomplete. Well, it's a fun activity - but I can't go to every convention, because expenses on gas for the car and batteries for the cam become too much to handle for my budget.
