May 22-24 Recap:

Things I noticed at this Con: I tried not to be too picky about taking pictures on Sunday. When I went back on Saturday, I noticed I only took pictures of 10 cosplayers... hardly a reasonable fraction of the number of cosplayers there, so I took pictures of everyone in costume that I could catch up to but since I don't run, it wasn't many lol. I also forgot my spare batteries… so I had no choice but to be somewhat picky >_<

I saw 4 ANBU cosplayers as well, I really wanted to take a picture of them but they were resting and I didn't want to disturb them. They weren't up yet when we were leaving so I had to forfeit that awesome group shot .

Although D. Gray-Man was aired in 2006 and ended in 2008, it has only now started reaching Canada (the dealer did not even know about season 2, he only thought there was 52 eps) and a LOT of people cosplayed them in groups. The main cosplayers were the main characters Allen, Kanda, Lavi and Lenalee. There was one awesome Lavi cosplayer (I think it was a girl) but she was the only one wearing his season 2 outfit-yay!

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann … I’m not too sure, but it might have been released in Canada recently too since it aired in 2007. A LOT of cosplayers dressed as Yoko, and I was able to catch a group of cosplayers from the cast of this series, though I am not sure they all know each other. There was Simon, Kamina, Yoko, Viral and Kittan. They looked awesome.

Final Fantasy seemed to be real popular in all sorts. I saw a whole bunch of Yuna’s in her FFX summoner and FFX-2 gunman versions. Reno, I saw this amazing Reno and Rude from Final Fantasy VII with his wacky stick (hehe) and he looked great! Rude also had the shades and facial hair… very precise! I tried to catch up to them but they were quite far away and I lost them before I could catch up, so no picture . Cloud, another from FFVII, I saw a lot of him around, but the Advent Children CG of him is so beautiful, I can’t take pictures of cosplayers without seeing his face in my head lol. There was also a lot of Sephiroth but one was really amazing, I tried to take a picture but boy, did he run fast! As expected of Sephy .

Code Geass, or its sequel might have also hit Canada’s shelves recently, mainly they were in her season 1 outfit, but one or two CC’s were dressed in her season 2 outfit. I only saw one Zero but he looked amazing – he looked so good, I actually shouted out “Zero, can I take a picture!” lol.

Chobits… though I’m not a fan of those ears (or whatever they are) I could tell a Chobits cosplayer when I see one… and there was a LOT of them.

Angels… I’m not sure from what anime, or if they just put something together for a costume, but I saw a few Angels. They didn’t have anything really characteristic about them, so I didn’t take any pictures.

Next time: A glass of wine over Naru/Bleach
