THAT Animeblog

THAT blog of various wonders!

STAC Resolution@Expo’06 (Cosplay)

Its the cosplaying/anime fair held at the expo today.

The quadders consisting of me, impzus, alkanphel and invis trooped down with cameras and all sorts and found ourselves pleasantly surprised. Pleasantly surprised at the standard of cosplaying and the amount of characters turn out. We weren’t expecting a lot so you could say it was a very worthwhile trip and also because its our first time at a cosplaying event.. So we didn’t reallly know what to expect.

Very worth the 12buckeroos we paid. Hahaha. (After reading on some blogs about how management closed stores at 3pm oddish and people streamed in for free.. the 12 buckeroos we paid wasn’t that worth it after all.)

I’m pretty impressed with a couple of cosplayers’ outfits. And how some of the people look so apt cosplaying a particular character. For instance, i just hafta mention the naruto guy. He looks really good cosplaying him! hahaha. It really suits him to a T! And DOMO KUN!!! omg. That made my day, instantly.

So, without further a do. Photos that were painstakingly watermarked and resized by yours truly.

It was a pain, a realll pain. And should any of you want photos without us inside… Leave a comment with yer email or something, i’ma contact you and send them to you. hahaha.

    I guess i will make my version of the cosplay tomorrow then ^_______^;;;

    Mine will be less pictures, tee hee ^_^

  2. alkanphel December 16th, 2006 10:10 am

    Yah the Naruto cosplayer was really fitting! Too bad the sun lighting spoiled the photo and covered his hair.

  3. jooo December 16th, 2006 10:12 am

    :( i knowwww.
    I have somemore photos of naruto though.
    But you’re gonna do a naruto post so i’ll leave that up to you.

    The cosplaying fair was sooo funnn to go to! hahaha, we’ll all cosplay next year okie okie okie?! lmao.

  4. Inviz December 16th, 2006 10:14 am

    Great post! xD

    Today’s cosplay was truly an eye-opener haha. Never been to one cos I thought that the standard isn’t gonna be very good. But quite pleasantly surprised but how well some of them did their costumes!

    My personal fave was the Bleach team hahaha.. I really liked the Yachiru one. A good cosplayer is not just
    bout the costumes but the attitude too hahaha. Very very tempted to dress up next year!

  5. alkanphel December 16th, 2006 10:14 am

    Yeah a Naruto cosplayers post to come soon in the near future :D

  6. jooo December 16th, 2006 10:18 am

    YAHH! thankss mama. :]
    hehehe. I like the intricate designs some of them put into their costumes. You can really tell the amount of effort they placed. Hahaha. Very impressed.

    And so, we will all cosplay next year. Hooray! Hahaha.

    And JW better do the naruto post soon. Don’t procrastinate. XD

  7. [...] jooo over at T.H.A.T. started the ball rolling, lots of pictures before the crowd flooded the area. [...]

  8. tj han December 16th, 2006 11:32 am

    … What ff12 team? That looked like FF7 to me. But what was interesting was , a lot of what I have you don’t, and you have a lot of pics I don’t. Looks like some cosers do leave early and come late.

  9. kristalyamaki December 16th, 2006 12:50 pm

    ZOMG I know who the Aizen cosplayer is! :O

  10. Danny December 16th, 2006 5:16 pm

    Hi hi- We are the ones in grey and pink costume photo number 24 – caption which u wrote is er.. dunno where this is from either hehe…

    We are cosplaying the two main characters in Magical X Miracle
    Plot Summary: Merleawe has just arrived in Viegald, where she hopes to study magic at one of the best schools in the kingdom. But shortly after she arrives, the Great Magician Sylthfarn, the master wizard of Viegald, goes missing. With panic setting in and a country in need, the followers of Sylthfarn discover that Merleawe looks remarkably like the Great Magician. With the right training and guidance, she just might pass as Sylthfarn.

  42. Cyberlightto December 29th, 2006 8:44 am

    Oppps forgotten to ask whether did u or ur friends happened to capture out photos? cos we are busy looking at other cosplayers as well and hmm… well, we didn’t managed to take photo of our self, wht we have on hands are just those pathetic few!!! T_T

  43. thegreekie January 12th, 2007 7:19 pm

    Hey, for the first pic that you have of the girl in the pink kimono, there’s a guy with bandaged eyes and an open red kimono – do you know where’s that from?

    The caption above the pic reads:
    “I think the girl really looks jap even though she’s chinese. :D
    She’s jan’s fave btw. *psst. lolliphile*”

    Could you email me the answer at thefishbag@yahoo.com.

  44. googoogal March 27th, 2007 9:18 pm

  47. S0 5cr3w3d July 12th, 2007 10:46 pm

    omfg, those pics are so screwed up! Especially the bleach 1s totally spoil the reputation of the anime. F**kin ugly ppl shouldnt take part in such an event totally makes other feel repulsed by lookin at those faces of their’s.

  48. da winner July 12th, 2007 10:49 pm

    my gosh, you guys sure are bui hiao bai lor. pls la, you ppl confirm can make a better living being clowns!!! i’m sure you can go to hell! yea

  49. cghjkhl July 12th, 2007 10:55 pm

    u all suck manzz the anime are all a disgrace to the human, shinigami hollow monster fighter…. the are freaking poisoning my eyes to my brain… U should better look into the mirrorb4 showing ur face(or ass)

  50. cghjkhl July 12th, 2007 10:55 pm

    Wow so nice… the best i have ever seen…
    P.S. I am a liar

  51. anon1 July 12th, 2007 11:00 pm

    I’m assuming that you really like the anime thats why you cosplay about it. But i think youdidn’t realize that your fake looks and fucking ugly face is insulting your own favourite anime characters. Get on with your loserish life and really stop flaming these innocent characters. We from the general anime public cannot stand and watch you spoil the characters. What audacity you must have to come up with such stupid rags as cosplay costumes. Please save your welfare money and buy some real clothes. The financial assistance plan is not for rags, please!

  52. bigfatliar July 13th, 2007 2:06 am

    woohoo nice pics…i wonder how people manage to make themselves up until they look just like the anime characters…all the pics i saw here were seriously the best i’ve ever seen…the ouran host pic, naruto, haruhi, xxx-holic(bottom left is that a male or female?), tsubasa chronicle(behind left >>> shouldnt it be a female? or is that already a female??), Gundam seed destiny, the bleach team, ff7 team(the cloud looks the best totally a splitting image of anime character cloud), Rukia X Ichigo(best hairstyle), hollow ichigo(nice hair colour), and much more…but there’s too much nice things for me to comment on…I love all of them…keep up the good work cosplayers

    p.s. im saying all of this from the bottom of my heart…ZZzZzz

  53. blackFlameZ August 18th, 2007 1:51 am

    i totally agree with u guys…those ppl basically are..LOL..i mean i have nth more den to describe dem as freaks. Wad i believe is that ppl shouldnt be so obsessed in such things.Cosplayers are simply juz Attention seekers which are oso know as Posers or u can chg the P to a L.(P.s for those who cant read.changing the P to a L tt makes Losers)

  54. theUnKnOwN August 18th, 2007 1:54 am

    *gasp* *choke* *puke* omg u guys should take a look in the mirror for once. 24hrs a day 7 times a week. P.s.i guess i cant blame u guys for being blinded by ur ugliness since u guys have the guts to put those pics here.Man i’m impressed.
