Title: Bleach ( 2006 )
Post by: Ichigo on June 23, 2005, 09:20:51 PM
I was pretty impressed with 2005's turn out. ( It's what got me into the anime . ) I was sitting around waiting for a Bleach thread but no one really opened one, so yeeeah.

Anyone going as Bleach characters again? I'm comfirmed on my Soi Fong cosplay. It'll be great if we have the same Don Kan'Onji again. He really caught my attention.

I saw a huge turnout this year and since it's a new and currently growing and attracting anime, I'm hoping to see more Bleach Cosplays in '06. Anyone going? :D

I want to go as Rukia (Srry if i spelled it wrong, can't think straight) but I need to find the Black Hakama and such, I was thinking of sewing the glove that forces Ichigos soul out of his body... but I'm still kinda undecided.

You spelled it right. They sell the shinigami cosplays on ebay.

Yeah, same here, if my hair grows too long, I might have to go as Orihime in the school uniform.  I'm positive on my Soi Fong cosplay and if I make the badge, possibly Hinamori.

hi!! just want to say that if anyone wants to get a black hakama, you can buy one from me for $30 (at most, fluxuating money conversions and all) plus shipping. i'm getting orders in from Taiwan next month, so just tell me if you guys need anything! also tabi, bokuto...ehh, stuff that's posted on the cosplay classifieds sticky ^__^

If I can find the time, I'll most likely be doing Hitsugaya. As my friend pointed out, I'm about the right height to cosplay as him.

I am going to do Rukia's school uniform and my partner is going to do Ishida's :D.

I actually didn't see that many Bleach cosplayers last year. All I remember is.. Naruto :lol:.

There were a ton of Bleach cosplayers that turned out for the photo shoot. I think there were 4 Uraharas (Sandal Hat) at least. (I was one of them). I might cosplay him again, but I think I will make his sword this time. Or cosplay him from his captain days.

DOOD YEH!  I'm so sorry, I had a serious gamer-speak moment.

I think if I was ever to do cosplay in my life, I'd show up with either Bleach people or Dead Leaves people.  There is such an immense saturation of hip hop culture in these anime that I would love to be a part of it.  However, I don't know that much about Bleach, and by default I'd go by Dead Leaves in a heartbeat. :b

Post by: JME2 on November 21, 2005, 10:13:41 PM
I am contemplating going as Urahara; the problem lies in locating the hat as well as the usual expenses. More likely than not, it'll simply be little (pardon the pun) old Ed Elric (and perhaps a cameo of Dooku, or at least the cape).

My friend and I are planning to go as Aizen(me) and Gin(friend). w00t.

Had a question for fellow shinigami cosplayers though: We're on a little bit of a budget, so I was wondering the yardage of fabric that you guys have used to make your shinigami uniforms. Or maybe a guess if you don't know exactly how much you used...

My friend and I bought the same amount of fabric, though she's the only one who's actually made the outfit. She's about 5'...2", maybe, and her 3 yards worked pretty well.

Yes, was that the whole costume or 3 yards for each part?

Anyway, I kinda had in my head that maybe 2 yards each for the black top (don't know what exactly it'd be considered 0_o) and inside white lining, 3 for the hakamas, and 4 for the haoris.... Should I use more for anything? Less? Ideas are welcome ^_^

I do believe she used the 3 yards for the entire costume. Though, she did cheat quite a bit in the process - not making a full kimono, etc. I remember she told me she was a little disappointed in her hakama - so to be safe, I'd go with 5 yards if you're about her height.

Keep in mind when I say 3 yards, I mean 3 yards black.

Also, my friend made my haori-thingy early for me, so she could wear it on Halloween. We bought only 1 yard of the white fabric, and she made good use of it. Barely had enough, if I remember what she said correctly. I'm about 5'0", maybe a little less, and the haori came down to about midcalf.

me and my friends are going to fanime and most of us are going as bleach characters. myself will be the best one of them all Yumichika and my friends will be another part of 11th division. one is going to be Kenpachi and the other if he's able to make it will be ikkaku! :D

Post by: JME2 on January 15, 2006, 09:44:50 PM
It's looking more likely that if I don't go as Urahara, then I'll be seen as Hitsugaya. The assembling of the costume wouldn't be a problem; the wig and sword on the other hand would prove to be a most interesting challange...
Title: yardage/hakama
Post by: AnnoyedWabbit on January 18, 2006, 10:06:38 PM
in answer to questions about yardage- if you're making a short kimono on traditional lines, you should need about 4 yards total of 54 or 60 inch wide cloth(2 yards outside, 2 yards inside, and i'm estimating with quite a bit to spare)-4 strips each 15 inches wide and 40 or 50 inches long (length from your shoulder to your knee, plus some for hems and seams and whatnot) and 2 strips the right length to fold in half and make into sleeves, plus extra for the collar and the front placket things on the kimono.

a Haori is going to need about the same amount as a kimono.

Hakama, on the other hand, use ridiculous amounts of fabric because of the number of pleats they involve. I can't remember exactly how much i used, but i think it was around 5 or 6 yards.

hakama are actually bloody annoying to make right... -_-'' even if one does have experience in sewing. i can vouch that e-bogu.com carries REALLY nice ones (http://www.e-bogu.com/High_Quality_Light_weight_100_Cotton_Hakama_p/tak-ken-hak-hqlitecot-navy-all.htm) these ones are navy blue, but you could easily dye them with Procion dye from Dharma Trading (http://dharmatrading.com)

I also reccomend the Folkwear Asian Patterns (http://www.folkwear.com/asian.html), in particular #113, #129, and #159. ^____^

We'll be definately coming for Bleach gathering, I was so envious last year of all the shinigami, but didn't have costume yet.
So this year I'll be coming with my Chibi as Yachiru.  Not sure about my cosplay yet. I have Byakuya costume, but not happy with the wig, if I find better wig by then, then I will wear it, if not, I'll be someone else. We'll hook up with Bankai_Devil 11th Division crew for some awesome Kenpachi/Yachiru pictures. Hehehehe....

I bought crap load of fabric for my and Yachiru shinigami outfit and I had TONS left. Hakama doesn't really take that much of the fabric, well, depending on the size. I did size 26, I believe, and used about 3 yards of fabric. Kimono didn't take much of the fabric either. I cheated and combined pattern of kimono and martial arts gi. So it worked.

Planning on doing a Isshin cosplay (a short version of him, actually >_>) either in the suit he wore to Masaki's grave or if I can make that weird badge he had on in one of the recent manga chapters, I'll be him in shinigami form.  Gotta grow a beard though.  Might do the 7th division vice captain too if I get my sunglasses before the con.

Sorry to hear that you missed the gathering... I think the reason why you didn't see that many was because the Bleach get together was at the same time as Naruto. I shot the Bleach gathering instead of the Naruto.... check out my pics on my website and see some of the Bleach cospeeps ^^)

I plan on attending the gathering again this year... at least to shoot, but I'd luv to cosplay. I am 6' and I make more traditional Kimono's, Haori, Happy Coats, and Hakama. Both male and female... I estimated that I will need 16 yards give or take half a yard. That is for the whole costume. I can never remember the character's name that I want to cosplay so I will post that later..... *sits and thinks....

I just can't make up my mind, now can I? It's not set in stone yet, but the option to go in Ishida's unfirom (non-Shinigami or school) has opened up and I have a good feeling about this one.

i dont think we've decided on a day or time yet. im just hoping its not on the same day as the Naruto gathering (theres no way i'd be able to choose which one to go to if they were on the same day T_T).

edit: ok so now that a day and time has been posted for the Naruto gathering (Sunday, 2pm), i think we should have the Bleach gathering on saturday, so we dont conflict. no idea as to what time it should be, im just making a suggestion to have it on saturday ^^

I would definately like to take pics of this gathering (BLEACH fan that I am) and I was wondering if Saturday @ 2pm would work for everyone...? Last year it was held @ the fountains in front... what about this year... It seems to be a big gathering again this year... I will post it at 2pm on Sat to hold the slot, (with a ?) if this is good for everyone, or as soon as you all know when please post me in the "Who's going and Who as" sticky. Thanks and I look forward to seeing an outstanding BLEACH gathering again this year *BwaaHaa Haa

Update on Hitsugaya: Okay, I was hoping to get the costume and wig done in one stroke, but it's not going to happen. So, I'll simply proceedto my back-up; I will have them for Fanime regardless, though.

you're still going as Histugaya though, right?

on another note, how do people feel about having the gathering on saturday? BSaphire has saved us a time slot on Saturday at 2, so i think if no one objects, we'll have it on saturday

Okay, change of plans actually.

The Nanao thing won't work out (Shaving = No no when my other cosplays involve beards). So I'll actually be our second Shunsui. -.- It's going to be such a pain wearing the two Haori's, the Captain's robe AND pink Kimono. Can someone make sure I don't die from heat exhausion XD?

Oh, and this is a definate change for me, however my friend will still be attending as Rukia.

The Nanao thing won't work out (Shaving = No no when my other cosplays involve beards). So I'll actually be our second Shunsui. -.- It's going to be such a pain wearing the two Haori's, the Captain's robe AND pink Kimono. Can someone make sure I don't die from heat exhausion XD?

Oh, and this is a definate change for me, however my friend will still be attending as Rukia.

no problem - i've made the changes to the list

edit: ok so for those of you that have accounts on Gaia Online, i've made a thread over there promoting the gathering. its basically the same as what we have going on here with the exception that its got links to this thread as well as the one on Cosplay.com. so if you have a Gaia account come check it out ^^

I'd love you if you did!

Anyways, after a long separation with my computer I am finally able to confirm that I will be doing Hanatarou, but with his convenience store hair because I doubt I'll get my wig by then.

so how are people's costumes coming along? Fanime is next month! i'm so excited XD

oh and since this is the Bleach cosplay thread, i think this little bit of news is quite relevent: I don't know if you guys already know, but apparently Bleach has now been licensed by Viz Media and will be airing on Adult Swim this coming fall. I can't imagine any of the characters speaking english, and i fear it might head down the same path as Naruto and sell out to Hot Topic T_T

The wig is subpar, but will work; I'm looking into a possible replacement, though. The main bulk of the costume should hopefully ship within the next week.

Update -- the sucker's here!  O, Frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' I chortle in my joy:

Whee! I have nothing done yet ohohoho. I'm actually going to pawn the construction off on one of my friends, and worry about the wig only. The katana, which is made of two yardsticks sanded and sawed and glued and other things together, is about 25% done.

I can't imagine any of the characters speaking english, and i fear it might head down the same path as Naruto and sell out to Hot Topic T_T

But at least it'll be on Adult Swim - the voices are a little better than those available on Cartoon Network, and we won't have to worry about the precious violence being cut out. And Hot Topic is really a good marketing idea - it's everywhere, and the people who frequent those stores generally find anime an attractant.

Or at least that's the case at my school - several of the 'rebels' and 'punks' and 'goths' and whatnot gravitate towards anime because it's not 'mainstream', as it is.


Yeah. Ignore my wannabe marketing knowledge. Because I'm not really sure what I'm talking about.

Hey folks. I'm new to the forum but I just wanted to drop a note that I will be doing a ukitake cosplay for fanime this year. I've already got the complete costume, but I will be making myself a pair of prop swords before the con.

And just out of curiosity, the gathering is planned for 2pm outside the fountains on saturday?

Anywayyy...I'd love to join. I'm the Orihime, and the costume's going fine so far. Kinda already had the natural hair for it. 8)

Also, I hope Chanocular (boyfriend) will be dressing up as Nova...but would that be too weird seeing Orihime all over Nova at the convention? I tried to convince him to crossplay as Chizuru, as that would be a more interesting couple by far, but alas, he won't do it. :twisted:

I'm going as Yoruichi in battle mode.
My friend laura (she doesn't post on this forum but will be there at 2pm) is going as Soi Fong battle mode.

I need help, my friend Chirag doesn't know what he should dress up as. He wants to be a Bleach character, but he wants a simple costume to make. AKA I'll be making it for him, any suggestions?

Dont' forget to add me and Laura to the list as Soi Fong and Yoruichi (BATTLE MODE).

ARE MOST PEOPLE JUST DRESSING UP SATURDAY????
Title: Bleach ( 2006 )
Post by: phoenixphire24 on May 05, 2006, 11:32:31 AM
Kasso- it mostly depends on if people have other costumes or not. I have seen people do the same character all weekend. I, however, have 3 other costumes I want to wear, so I'm only doing Hinamori Saturday because that's the day we have our gathering. As for a fast costume, what about a Menos? It would be a black sheet and a white mask, and that's pretty much it.

I'll hopefully be coming either as Renji or Mayuri. In progress-- updates to come as events occur. XD

Looking forward to this giant group, this sounds extremely fun!

I normally try to avoid doing the same char as others, ever since a friend of mine got the GLARE OF DEATH from another cosplayer for doing it. ;.; But I think it's fun to pose with others! ^_^
I hope to know pretty soon which I'll end up doing: kinda depends on if a friend decides to do Nemu to accompany me. :) Crossing my fingers on my ability to coax, BWA HA HA HA.

Edit: Thanks for adding me to the list; I feel like I belong now! :D

hi all, just a heads up, but my friends and i will be going as:

Byakuya: myself
Ichigo: my friend
Inoue: friends's GF

there is a possiblity that we have a capt. Aizen as well.  however, we're planning on attending on sunday the 28th.  And i also have a question for everyone, what are u guys using for your swords? Currently we're making the Shikai version of zangetsu.  But as far as Byakuya, im having a hard time gettin a plain katana, (this is with or without a blade).  Any suggestions?

i used balsa wood to make the shikai of Zabimaru for my Renji cosplay. its light so it wont be too hard to carry around, but its sturdy ^^.

hm... ok sounds good. THx for the tips. yea theres not much i can do for byakuya's shikai with the missing blade, so we decided to make the entired thing outta wood. So no blade but sheeth and hilt all made outta wood. Its gonna be tough but, making stuff is half the fun.  BTW are any of you planning to be there on sunday?

that would actually be really awesome - like if it was just a little windy and then you'd have someone toss the confetti just as the wind picks up and take a pic...wow that would be a really cool picture if you think about it XD

Hahah just a thought.

@Senritsu: Yeah, that was us! We were the Byakuya and Renji from the Cherry Blossom festival. This time around, I'll have a wig, complete with those annoying kensaikan and everything.

I need to edit Byakuya's gloves and maybe make his sword (probably won't have enough time for that, though), but I'm pretty much set with my Bleach cosplay. It's just my Kakashi outfit that needs finishing...>>;

Ah, yeah. Sometimes it sucks to have to drop stuff, but time gets in the way. there's never enough of it to get everything done! I do resolve to never be working on anything once I arrive, though-- I know people do, and that just boggles me. XD Too much con-stress.

Ah! I remember you two. It'll be so cool to have the chance to meet you again^^. And your Byakuya better show><. We need to have a Byakuya show-down (or tea party...>> long, ridiculously complicated inside joke there, sorry).

Just a quick shout out to all Bleach Cospeeps!! My motto is.... "Any day is a good day to cosplay!" so let it rain... it tried at JTAF3 and we still came.... It threatened at SakuraCon and we still came... Fanime isn't going to keep us down!!! ^^)

I hope to see lots of Bleach at the "Jump" gathering on Sunday. I hope to join the gathering next year as Kenpatchi.. (crossplay gotta luv it *giggles) if I don't change my mind or get tired of making kimonos, Haori, and Hakama *LOL
I won't be on much with only 72 hours till I leave for Fanime and I wanted the BLEACH peeps to know that I look forward to meeting you and taking lots of pics... Here is the link for the Jump thread... http://www.fanime.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=4426&start=0

Till Fanime...

Sharpie won't run in water, though, unless it's extremely heavily applied or didn't originally dry.

Whatever works for you-- hope you got a quality item! Besides, those of us that commission appreciate folks that buy them. :D
I know the feeling about the sword, I think mine stole some of my soul while I slept. You'll see this thing, you'll know what I mean.

Post by: irukasgirl on May 30, 2006, 11:52:44 PM
you transfer hi-8 tapes with a camcorder with a firewire/usb port and some software...usually the install disk that came with the camcorder, or windows movie maker if you're not planning anything difficult.


Anyways. anyone see a yachiru with violent pink hair? It was me and my sisters never took pictures of me! I showed up near the end of the gathering so I got in like 2 pictures there. One of them kon was attacking me from behind.
