Cosplay you saw at 2010 you weren't expecting & were happy to see

[LastExile]

The plethora of Shizuo cosplayers from Durarara!!.

I already knew a lot were coming, but I didn't expect that many, so it was really exciting to see all of them. :D

-Captain Harlock and La Mime (and Emeraldas at the Masquerade)

Hee...that was us!  My hubby was Harlock and I was both Miime and Emeraldas. Glad you were happy to see the costumes..there's not always enough love for old skool ;)

Interestingly enough... I learned over the course of my watching of all the series that La Mime and Miime (or Mimay) are similar but...not quite alike. La Mime in Harlock SSX and My Youth in Arcadia has a black bodysuit, blonde hair and human-toned skin. Miime (no La before her name) in the Harlock main series is as you saw her on Sunday :)  They both have the flat eyes and no mouth, however!

My personal favorite unexpected costume of the weekend: the Potter Puppet Pals. I squeed when I saw them. I fully, and proudly, admit it!  "bother bother bother bother bother.."

Mr Champloo (Disgaea 3)

[Ryo_Hellsing]

Ryoko and Mihoshi from Tenchi Muyo! I remember seeing them walk by and I stood still in my tracks, in pure shock and awe XD

Potter Puppet Pals was another one that made my year!

[Wonderly]

I saw a Noodle and 2D from Gorillaz, and I almost died of happiness. But I was too shy (AKA fangirly, and didn't want to scare her off) to say much to the Noodle, and barely said anything to the 2D, because of shyness xD which is odd, because I have a very outgoing personality.

[Kamen Rider Tag]

Easy.  Hidari Shotaro from Kamen Rider W.  I took a picture with one Shotaro cosplayer and saw a picture of a female Shotaro along with a female Philip there.

Finding tokusatsu cosplays is a rarity in anime conventions IMO, so that was an awesome surprise.

I SAID THAT FOR YOU SILLY BUMBUM.

I saw you guys at the Cherry Blossom Festival and thought I might see you again! There were several people from the NCCBF at Fanime. I'm glad to see that both of you are getting recognized for your efforts.  ;D

BTW, one of the staffers who was working the signings was mentioning that he was dressed up as Harlock when the staff had their own signing session with FLOW. The band signed his belt and blaster! How cool was that! And it could have been your husband! Those guys for sure are into the old skool, 2 of the 5 of them remarked on my Fist of the North Star shirt that I wore to their signing on Saturday.
