I'll throw this out there:

My group and I were walking around as Vegeta, Luffy, and Madara (from Naruto and with the white mask) for a majority of the con.  If you happen to have any pictures of those cosplays that'd be great. We're all females - though our cosplays are not fem-oriented.

I'll throw this up there ... just in case.

Do any of you guys have pictures of a:

Kyo, Yuki, Hitori, Tohru group (Fruits Basket)

... or a

Deidara, Gaara, Tobi group (Naruto)?

Pictures in groups or as individuals are both cool. Chances are the group pictures are a bit rare.

If you need reference pictures, our video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_FRSSXptO4  opens up with our cosplays.

Thanks in advance.

Oh, also, I just remembered! If you want other pictures from that group, you should check out the Naruto gathering thread here. People are posting links to their pictures like crazy. :)

Thanks Eeri. I'll check those pictures out. :)

Also, you got the right Gaara with the picture you posted earlier. Just figured I'd let you know.

Awesome. I'm glad I could help out. That was one of my favourite Gaaras at the gathering, so I thought maybe it was just wishful fangirl thinking. haha. But glad I could help! :) Hope you find some that you like.

:) Yeah. I did. Thanks again. I'm not totally happy with my costume yet. I figure I still have quite a bit of improving to do on it... but I'll get it to the point I like it, one of these days. :)

Your Rock-Lee was well done, by the way. (As was the personality that went with it... :) ).

I haven't posted the pictures where they are readily accessible yet (just on Fbook) but I'd like to say your video made me lol hardcore. FINALLY I found someone who got the video fo the Kagura's chasing the Kyos around. :D Ahhh goodtimes.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! :) That's why we make them ... so people can enjoy them.

That wasn't the entire clip of the Kagura's chasing the Kyo's (as far as I can remember). I'll see if my group is up for posting the raw video on YouTube later on.

Hey everyone! I went to Fanime this year as the tenth Doctor from Doctor Who, the one in the blue suit with maroon converse and the brown coat. If anyone grabbed some pictures of me and wants to send me them over PM I would love to see em! Thanks!

My group has a picture of you. We also have some video of you. Check link below. You'll be at the end of the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_FRSSXptO4

I'll post the picture later. It's a good one though.

Oh, I'm certain we'll make it... :)

That said, somehow I forgot to mention our Tohru character... >_>

She'll be there too.

Two questions:

First - If my group and I register for the masquerade (and actually get to perform), are we required to stay the entire show, or can we leave sometime after our performance?

The trick to that is if you receive an award, you won't be around to accept it because those don't come until the end (and never assume you won't get an award until they announce everything and say you don't..you might be surprised!).  So something to think about :)

Just my humble two cents..take 'em as you will!

Based on angeljibrille's post about the time frame, the expectation is that you stay until around 11PM. Things could run late or even end early, depending on the situation.  I would say if you need to depart before 11 for any reason, let her know and get it pre-arranged, or be prepared to make those requests in registration when signups are live. Depending on how early you need to leave, you might need to request that your entry be bumped up in the run list as well, so just keep that in mind too.

Second - Again assuming that we get to perform there are a couple of people that may want to watch. Do they have to purchase a day-pass badge in order to watch the performances?

Traditionally it's required that you have a badge to access any big convention event, especially one like Masquerade.  Yes, it's a bit of an inconvenience to buy a badge for a day for one event, but look at it this way: the money for your friends to come see you perform helps keep the convention going. :)

Worst case scenario, there is a very high chance that your performance will find its way to YouTube about a week or so after the convention ends. While it's not in-person, your friends will still be able to see what you did that way!

Thank-you for your response to my questions. I will keep what you said in mind.

This is our first attempt at something like this, hence the questions. That said, everybody has to start somewhere, right?

We don't expect it to be successful, at all - but we'll do our best to at least make it look like we tried.

So - once you announce what day, what time, and where Pirates vs. Ninja will be held, I'll post whether or not my group of Ninja can participate.

Btw - if you're the Pink Haired Sasuke that I'm thinking of (assuming there is only one), then my group is the Deidara, Tobi, Shippuden Gaara group that hung out with your group at Fanime 2009... I'm sure you'll remember us, if you you're the right one.

Yuki Sohma(Rat): Friend of mine
Kyo Sohma(Cat): Me
Hatori Sohma(Dragon): Friend of mine

We've never attended a gathering before, however we will attempt to attend this one.

I'm pretty sure that there will be at least three more of us attending at least part of the Naruto gathering this year.

Shippuden Gaara, Deidara, Tobi (three different cosplayers).

We were around last year, but missed the gathering.

Still looking for some video of Stage Zero Day 3 - with Sailor Moon, near the end of her show. Had Tobi, Naruto, Pikachu, Gaara, and of course SailorMoon.

Here is a reference picture I found by chance - just in case it helps...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/38835842@N03/3572480564/sizes/o/

I walked past that on my way to the dealers room.  I commented to my friend "Oh good gravy!  My childhood is dying.  And my current fan-type self is just REALLY confused."  Was there a reason why Sailor Moon was dancing with half the cast of Naruto and a pokemon?

To be completely honest, I don't know -why- she called us up there. I was the Gaara. I was walking past Stage Zero minding my own business with my Tobi and my cousin Deidara when all of a sudden I heard ... "Gaaaara"... I looked around and again I heard ... "Gaaaara". I looked up at the stage, and she waved at me. So, I waved back. ^_^; Then she was like ... "Come up here Gaara!" - and my Tobi and my Deidara started pushing me toward the stage... :-P

Once I got up there, she asked me to introduce who I came to the Fanime with, and I pointed out Tobi and Deidara. She called Tobi up, and then Naruto (who we didn't know), as well as Pikachu (who we also didn't know...). Then, she had us dance, and then strike a SailorMoon pose ... (none of which I knew since I don't watch it...).

Needless to say, it was a first for me. It was interesting, and if I were to be completely honest - perhaps even a bit fun.. >_>

I am curious - since I haven't found any sign of it yet...

Does anybody have any video of Stage Zero Day 3 with the Sailor Scouts - near the end of their show when Gaara, Tobi, Naruto, and Pikachu were called up on stage randomly?

Video or Pictures will work - but I'm more interested in the videos if there are any.

Did anyone get a picture of my Vincent Valentine (Advent Children / Dirge of Cerberus outfit) cosplay on Sunday or Monday? I didn't get back from college in time (cosplay wasn't finished anyway) for Saturday's FF gathering...

I can't recall if we got any pictures of you - but as you already know, we did get some video of you. I'll look through the last day of pictures to see what I can find.

HI everybody! Let's see if I can remember all of my crazy cosplays... I went through quite a few this year! @_@

Majority of the time I was some form of Sasuke (and almost always with a Naruto). At the Naruto gathering I was the belly dancing Sasuke. At night I became either rave-lolita-Sasuke or pajama-Sasuke. And by Monday it had evolved outta control into some sort of crazy Sasuke crack-cosplay... XD

(I was the one COVERED in foam sticky Uchiha symbols, and sometimes I had a feather Uchiha fan)

Sunday I was in a group of "aristocratic" Naruto cosplayers... I had a short black skirt and a corset with Uchiha symbols down the front, our Naruto had a long billowing black and blue skirt/orange and blue top/pretty floral hat, and our Sakura was in a red and black suit with a cane. Pictures of any of us would be awesome!

Oh, and at the Black and White ball I was in a sparkley black and white dress with the Uchiha symbol stuck to my bare back.

And then away from Sasuke there was:
-Friday: James from Pokemon, but when he was little (I had a growlithe pokemon card pinned to my jacket)
-Saturday (the few hours before/around the Masquerade): Hello Kitty Kimono cosplay (lots of teals and blues, my wig was a bob with pink, blue, and lavendar, and I had blue kitty ears and blue whiskers)

(Whew! I feel like I just ran a marathon trying to type all that out... lol!)

Any pictures would be awesome. Thanks guys!

While my group and I saw your Sunday costumes, we didn't get any pictures. We were the Deidara, Tobi, Gaara (following around Naruto), that was at the ATM while you guys were in the little food shop in the Hilton.

However - I know that the Naruto got a picture of you guys, and we're in contact with her - so I may be able to get that picture for you all.

You can contact me through my YouTube account - SabakuNoArhin

Or, you can leave me a message here if you want. I'll see what I can do for you guys.

[Friday:]

I had 103 pictures taken of me over the whole weekend. Let's see if I can find some!

Friday: Casual Demyx (brown shirt, white shorts, flip flops) I had my Sitar with me. It was the giant "plushie" one.
Saturday: I was just in Lolita this day. I don't have any references, but I had read hair and was wearing a black beret. I hat a black corset skirt and a baby blue blouse. I had black high-heeled mary janes.
Sunday: Full on Demyx with the plushie Sitar.
Monday: Complete Demyx with the plushie Sitar.

My group and I may also have a picture of you.

Check out our third Fanime 2009 video - "Fanime 2009 Day 3" by kajun36.

There should be an image of a Demyx with plushie Sitar in there.

If it's you, comment - and we'll see what we can do about sending it to you.


Also - while I'm here, I suppose I should ask if any of you have any pictures of my group and I.

Again, we were the Deidara, Tobi, Gaara group walking around.

You can see us in our music videos on YouTube, for a reference:

I went as Sephiroth - the one with the moving wing.

I would love to see links to those pictures or videos as parts of that costume fell apart on me (the jacket ripped down the middle of the back from the weight of the wing) and I did not have time to take my own pictures before it was completed as It was finish the morning of May 25th.

I will add into my blog instructions on how I did the wing, armor, and some other pieces of the costume.

I would love some suggestions on some cosplay groups I can join to bounce Ideas off of.  I live north of the Sacramento area.

Alternativley you can email me at [email protected]

Sephiroth,

My cousin, sister, and I (Deidara, Tobi, Gaara group) have pics and video of you. You can check out the videos on YouTube.

Look for the user "kajun36" and the videos "Fanime 2009 Day 1" as well as "Fanime 2009 Day 2".

I'd encourage you all to look at the videos to see if you can spot yourselves in it. If you do, let us know and I'll see if we can get your pictures to you.

There are three more videos other than those two:

- Fanime 2009 Day 3
- Fanime 2009 Day 3 part 2
- Fanime 2009 Day 4

We also have a lot of pictures that we didn't put in there.
