Any AMV'ers also do costuming?

This forum is for the announcement and discussion of anime conventions, and for the exchanging of rides to, and rooms at, conventions.

I've cosplayed a few times.

Did Lain back in 2002...... nobody at acen got my solo skit then. I loved it.

Reiji Kageyama was acen and otakon 03...... um..... between both conventions grand total of 37 people knew at all who I was. Acen everyone thought I was Victoria Seras from Hellsing.... despite having entirely the wrong outfit.

Up next is Satoka from Gatekeepers 21..... the 4 and a half foot sword is what sold me on her costume. Oh and she sings as she kills stuff.... enough said.

After that I am going to do Rakka from Haibane Renmei. Trying to get the Halo to actually light up..... first episode version where it is entirely taped to her head and stuff.... so cute. Hoping to have her done by Ohayocon.

Let's see..... then after that I am probably doing a costume that is borderline on being legal. Hahaha I suppose it is okay if I have a flesh colored body suit to cover the naughties..... hee hee.


So um..... yeah..... there are people who make amv's who cosplay..... although they are for the most part, fairly different audiences entirely.

I got a few costumes. I have a half-assed Gendo, and I'm currently working on 3 more. One is a random Battle Royale student, one is the new red haired unknown from the new Kingdom Hearts preview, and I'm having a Cactaur suit made for me in the near future. (I told fyrt I would give her pics of the costume when I get it.)

It was quite interesting to see that side of the anime convention experience. I'm planning on doing it again at AX 2004, just need to replace the wig, and the belt too.

The AMV community is alot friendly then the cosplay community. Cos playing is fun though as along as people don't take it ultra serious. Thats all i have to say about that.

I know of one.. but she's getting out of that whole scene.. because that cosplay scene is all about drama and petty stuff. There are a few out there.

DAMN STRAIGHT, yo.

*fifteen thumbs-up in a row*

One of my online pet peeves is snotty cosplayers who rip into people for not spending as much on their costumes as they did. GOOD FREAKING LORD PEOPLE YOU ARE DRESSING UP AS ANIMATED CHARACTERS. GET OVER YOURSELVES.

Sorry, just needed to get that out. >_<

It's a lot of fun, and like some AMVers people forget about fun and treat it like a chore. Unfortunately, this describes only about 2% of AMVers and 50% of cosplayers. :x

However, I know of cosplayers who literally think they ARE a character and live their entire lives patterned after a character. This knowledge soothes my evil, sadistic little soul.

So yeah, it's a case of "love the thing, hate its fans."
