As many of you know, I went to Sakura Con this year (just as I did last) and as opposed to cluttering the pointless thread, I made a new one to talk about stuff and show off pictures.
So, anyhow, we went in a group of four, and since we were all staying in the same hotel room, things were pretty crazy, but it was also alot of fun.
We had one guy who didn't dress up, a girl dressed as Kankuro (from Naruto), a girl dressed as Gaara cross-dressed and Sakura (XD), and me, who was dressed as Itachi (from Naruto).
We met alot of people, saw all kinds of crazy costumes, and had a blast. I got 15 hugs from girls I didn't know. =D
The shops were big and had alot of cool stuff. I got a sweet replica of the Master Sword. It's made of wood, but it looks better than any metal one I've ever seen.
Another fun thing, I got to kick peoples asses in Super Smash Bros. InuYasha was a worthy opponent, but in the end, he lost. Our battle was so intense and took so long, people were crowding around and placing bets. XD
I also got go to a Piano Squall Concert! For those of you who don't know who Piano Squall is, he's a cosplayer and pianist famous in the Anime Convention community, he always dresses as Squall, from Final Fantasy VIII, and he plays Anime and Video Game music on the Piano.
Over all, it was great. I had alot of fun and can't wait till next year.
But anyways, now for what everyone wants to see, the pictures!!
That's me and my traveling companions. As I said before, I'm the one dressed as Itachi.
Alex Louis Armstrong, from FullMetal Alchemist! He said he would have taken off his shirt, but the staff told him he's only allowed to do that outside. =/
Kakuzu and I, I had hoped to photograph all other Akatsuki members. This picture makes me look fat. XD
A Skull Kid and a Garo, enemies from Zelda games. They looked cool. =O
Ichiraku Ramen! XD
Sasori! Another Akatsuki member to take a picture of on my journey. >=D
See this person? That's a man. O.o
I dunno who he's dressed as, but I was just blown away when I found out that was a man. XD
It's that man from above, again. That's him on the second day. Still dunno who he's dressed as though. XD
OBJECTION!! XD
I took that one cause I thought Fusion would get a kick out of it.
Took this one for the same reason as the above.
Kankuro times 2! =O
My journey continues as I get my picture taken with Deidara and Tobi. >=D
<Deidara> *Runs up to me.*
<Deidara> I have to touch you.
<Me> O.o
<Me> Okay, go for it?
<Deidara> *Runs her hand down my arm a couple of times.*
<Deidara> Thank you!
And then I got my picture taken with her. XD
This picture also makes me look fat. <.<;
Couch of Time!! XD
That's the Master Sword Replica I bought. =D
It's Renton, from Eureka Seven, and Milk Chan, from Super Milk Chan!
Even just dressing as Itachi means fleeing from ANBU Black Ops...
Doink! Damn those Tonberries. D=
One of the above mentioned hugs. =D
Lots of Bleach Characters. =O
Jiraiya and Tsudane from Naruto, gambling and drinking sake as usual. XD
Not sure who this guy is supposed to be, but I know he looks badass, so I took a pic. XD
I'd like to know how he gets around with those big wings...
Alucard vs Summomo, with an unlikely result. XD
Greetings Stranger. XD
Took that one for Tony. The sign says "Press X to Continue."
Hayate Gekko (or as my sister calls him "Sickie"), from Naruto.
A close up of Summomo from Chobits (same one as before).
Mario and Princess Peach, from Mario. Peach kinda looks like a dude, but it's a chick. >.>;
Alphonse Elric, from FMA. Not bad considering. =O
Luke, from Tales of The Abyss. I love that game. =D
Tear and Anise, from Tales of the Abyss. I still love that game. =D
Alphonse Elric, from the FMA Movie. I assure you, it's Al, not Ed. If the picture was better, you'd be able to see transmutation circles on those gloves.
And now, the moment of truth....
A Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA arcade machine. >=D
My ass looks huge in this picture, but I assure you, it's the pants. They flare out at the sides cause they have big pockets. XD
Well, that's all the pictures. Unfortunatelly I didn't get pictures of all the Akatsuki members. I got pictures with Deidara, Tobi, Sasori, and Kakuzu. Kisame, Hidan, Orochimaru (Akatsuki cloaked), and the unnamed blue haired member were seen, but I didn't have the camera on me on those occasions (I got a hug from the girl dressed as Orochimaru though), and Zetsu and the Leader were never seen. D=
Feel free to make comments and ask questions. =D
