Then lemme know and I'll edit you to this post!

You BET'CHAself that I'll come as Ranma Saotome... THIS time. And if my commish doesn't deliver in the next... 4 days, I'll just start work on it myself. No matter what, ZOUPZUOP2 WILL BE RANMA SAOTOME (male. Don't have the figure for female...), and I'll SO be there. ;3

I'm commissioning human AND panda Genma for my friends next year. ^_^

I recently sent a complaint via BBB to my cosplay commissioner of about Â¾ of a year ago, so I should be seeing something in regards to my cosplay soon. In the meantime, I'm considering also cosplaying as Ryoga, seeing as I've found an odd fondness for bandanas lately. All I'd need is a shirt, stuff to tie around my legs and a red umbrella (not to mention the right bandana) and I'd have another cosplay.

I'm working on a Mousse costume right now! I'll do my damndest to be there

nothing like old school for the win,

I have random Chinese clothing and technically I could pull a ranma myself.

I'll try to mix things up if I have a random yellow shirt and and old bamboo umbrella and a bandana lying around...

Girl Ranma's another one of those "If all else fails" plans for me. Seeing that people are really into the Naruto and Bleach these days, it'd be refreshing to see some eighties anime cosplayers out there.

Damn, I can remember when Ranma 1/2 was THE popular anime of the collective fandom...XD

zoupzuop2 · October 26, 2007, 11:38:09 AM

Ahhh, back when the series everyone loved wasn't ONLY what was being showed on Cartoon Network or Adult Swim... *sigh*

...who am I kidding? Wasn't Ranma on CN for a little bit? And I only got into it in, like, the early thousands. Ne'er mind.

KawaiiMess · October 26, 2007, 07:14:55 PM

Agree with you on the sighing over the fact that people only pay attention to the major fanbase anime.

Ranma 1/2 was never on CN--as I recall, their old anime lineup was Tenchi Muyo, Cowboy Bebop, Yu Yu Hakusho, Trigun, Outlaw Star, Canaidate (? I can NOT spell today) for Goddess, and InuYasha (Holy Hell! A five year run and still no plot development in that show.)

I got into Ranma when I was in elementary/middle school, borrowing the VHS tapes from my local video store. Ah, the memories...

I have the first FOUR seasons on VHS... i think i should give it away...

since I have ALL Seven Seasons on DVD AND the movies AND the OAVS...

and my room looks like an anime store...

Anybody wants the Ranma 1/2 VHS? they need a good home. (FYI their Dubbed if you could handle it) ::)

waaaaa this is the first year i can't i lost my Ranma shirt >.<

narutofan17 · October 30, 2007, 09:24:13 AM

WOOOO!!!!!! I'm goin to cosplay as Ryoga!!!!!!

zoupzuop2 · November 12, 2007, 11:41:06 PM

Sweet! Let's update the main post with that little tidbit! (And, chances are quite slim I'll be going as Ryoga. Push comes to shove, I'll have to think of some other cosplays that are less demanding... Takumi of Initial D, maybe?)

BrightHeart76 · November 13, 2007, 06:43:05 PM

Baring disaster I'll either be Akane or Kasumi for part of fanime. Gotta love the classics of anime. :D

zoupzuop2 · November 15, 2007, 11:04:07 AM

Whichever one works, although a Kasumi would be a nice change to the sometimes frequent Akanes...

Nice! We may have a good set of people in '08!

zoupzuop2 · March 06, 2008, 06:45:17 PM

I bring this thread LIEF! EHL AYE EEH EFF! LIEF!

Any updates on this? Anyone change their minds and not doing this? Anyone inspired to join us? My plan is still set to go as Ranma Saotome-kun; as for Ryoga, it's less likely.

~~Loktera~~ · March 18, 2008, 09:50:53 AM

Just updated the first post

Please fill me in on what time you would like to get a gathering together for a group shot, also, a good location for said group shot would be helpful as well.

zoupzuop2 · April 03, 2008, 01:20:43 PM

Update: Chances VERY small of me going as Ryoga. In fact, due to finances, a LOT is in question... if I do go to Fanime, it'll definitely be as Ranma S.

And, we need to get a gathering going!! We're not on the list yet, so we need a date and time. (Sorry to parrot, Lok... but this does constitute a good bump in attention, so might as well restate it, ne?)

zoupzuop2 · April 13, 2008, 08:55:05 PM

BUMP

(Because I CAN~)

zoupzuop2 · April 17, 2008, 09:43:41 AM

Alright! I bump this thread not just by bumping, but with... DUN DUN DUNNNNN... A DILEMMA!

I need hair. Specifically, I need to scrape together a working Ranma Saotome wig for this whole thing to work out. As such, I'm considering buying this wig and restyling it:

http://www.amphigory.com/wigs_fae.html

However, a few concerns:

* Not sure how the restyling would go. The back end flips up a good bit and I'm quite new with the whole cosplay thing (yes, even now).
* Is there a better wig for this purpose... at a similar price? I really like how Amphigory's pricing is going with this (shipping considered).
* Should I just grow my hair out, spray-color it black, and grab a pigtail extension instead? Much riskier, but a good bit cheaper.

Your thoughts plzkthx. If this doesn't stay up, I may just repost as an individual thread...
