The con continues Mar. 14th, 2008 @ 12:02 pm
Once again, Emma.
Emma's just prefect in this setting. Like a scene straight of of the manga.

Emma at the balcony.
William, William. Wherefore art thou, William.

Sakura?
I think she's supposed to be Sakura from Sakura Wars.

Ichigo and Rukia in school uniforms.
I think Rukia's more convincing, here.

Ichigo's voice actor!
Why couldn't I get a front row seat?

A very animated fellow.
I wish I had a camcorder.

Smile widening... face breaking...
I'm excited, can you tell? The red eye effect was so creepy I decided to make this an animated gif.

Disney at an anime convention?
Seems we're not limiting ourselves to Japanese animation here. (I also saw an Ursula in one of the hallways. Yikes.)

Freaks on parade.
And no one sees anything weird about this...

Dr. Who at an anime convention??
I see we're not limiting ourselves to *animation* here. Classic Dr. Who. Coolness.

Crack is definitely cheaper.
There's a saying among American otaku. "Anime: Crack is cheaper." Very true. The big difference is that anime is *legal.*

Rukia with first release.
Best Rukia I've seen all con. And that sword is the coolest!

Tohru gets cute.
It's Tohru! With a Kyo plushie! Kawaii!!!

Among the hardest characters to cosplay.
Yachiru is actually about two or three feet shorter than this girl, but unless you want to stuff a toddler into this costume this is as good as it gets.

Studio Ghibli fans cheer!
Yay! Naussicca of the Valley of the Wind!

Yachiru big.
Remember what I said about the last Yachiru cosplayer? Try a six-foot something guy. Yikes.

Yoruichi and Urahara.
Have I mentioned that I like Bleach?

I'm crazy.But the food's good.
I must be totally insane for eating at the over-priced, fancy restaurant in the hotel. But the food was so good. ^^ Strawberrieeeeeeeeees.

I really like Bleach.
I'm not the only one who likes Bleach here. Probably from having one of the voice actors as a guest. ^_^

She's even built like Orehime.
Best Orehime cosplayer ever. Even has her figure. 0.0

If I were a guy...

More from Katsucon Mar. 8th, 2008 @ 02:44 pm
Aside from attending a lot of panels I also got some really good cosplay shots at the con.

Kagura
A classic Kagura from Fruits Basket, complete with plush backpack.

Emma
My pick for all time best cosplay. Emma fits right in with the decor, doesn't she?

close, Ichigo
He's got the attitude down, now to turn down the volume on the hair!

Princess Mononoke
Miyazaki fans, this one's for you!

Kenshin
He doesn't have the bangs, but other than that, good job!

Me in sorta samurai gear.
I was supposed to be a soul reaper but the black kimono didn't turn out. Oh well, I think I look kinda cool like this.

Mr. Hat-and-clogs-whose-name-I-can-never-remember!
The hat, the clogs, even the cane! Cool!

Took a walk around DC
Outside the hotel I found some fascinating architectural examples. If only the best ones had turned out.

Not a park
Note, that hedge across the street does not lead to a park. It's actually someone's home. Wow, the people here must be loaded!

big hotel
The hotel is even more impressive in the day time.

big yard for hotel
The hotel even comes with a park.

nature area
And it's own wildlife sanctuary.

However, it doesn't come with a number of things I've become accustomed to receiving from much **much** cheaper places. Free continental breakfast, free wireless access, more than just a few basic cable channels, all for well under a hundred bucks a night and in a room that's about the same size as the one we were crammed into.

I really don't *care* if the inaugural ball has been held here since Roosevelt! I am **not** spending 4-digits on a room that doesn't even have internet access!

More to come next time.
