    so, cosplay anyone?


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,150 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    I was considering something for Eirtakon but it's gone to the dogs now. I'm working the weekend and can't get it off :(

    Obligapic, here's me doing Death The Kid from Soul Eater a few years back.

    ^^^^^^^ nice!

    Woe :(

    I've never done any cosplay exactly, so been trying to think of something I could do. wearing glasses makes things a little difficult, I had been considering Hei from Darker than Black but wearing a mask over glasses just doesn't work for me and I can't go without them because I'm blind as a bat. then thinking maybe Zoe from Attack on Titan, but there would be an insane amount of work in trying to make the 3D manuver gear or buying a prop from ebay is way way out of my price range.

    I love looking at cosplays but it's not for me personally. I simply don't have the confidence to put myself out there like that! I'm not arsed making them or anything either so yea, not really bothered :P But I can seriously appreciate the work that goes into a good cosplay and I've so much respect for people who do do it.

    tbh that opens up your options a whole lot. There's plenty of characters that wear glasses :D

    I was going to do Hei last year but then the financial costs just spiralled a bit. I would love to do Monobear from Danganronpa, was planning out a costume up til a few weeks ago. Maybe next year. Think I'll try swing it to the quiz though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,731 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    First anime con I'll have gone to is Eirtakon this year...gonna cosplay it up too (not saying it out here though, wearing it at Hallowe'en too so it's seekrit ;)), sure why not! Can only visit on the Saturday, but hoping it'll be fun :)

    Cosplay is always appreciated. When I see the effort people have put in to creating a costume (and if they try their best to stay in character), all you can say is "fair play to them".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    I hope I'll be able to go to Eirtakon this year, even if just for one day.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,164 ✭✭✭Konata


    Also missing Eirtakon this year, very sad ;_;

    HyperJapan, the big Japanese popculture convention in London, has it's own shop now in the Camden Stables Market! :D I'm going to be popping in there as I'm over in London in a few days for a very brief trip :D

    I was thinking Johann Liebert might be an easy cosplay.

    But, you know, Serial killer :P

    morning ;)

    Just a heads up that we got 2 new sources of streamed anime yesterday.

    AnimaxTV is a new sub based service that seems to have risen from the ashes of Anime on Demand (it has a lot of its back catalogue). So far it is offering free simulcasts (starting with Magi season 2 :D , Coppelion and Beyond the Boundary) and a sub-paid back catalogue (even offering both subbed and dubbed episodes for some series):
    - Bakuman Season 1
    - Berserk: The Golden Age Arc I - The Egg of the King
    - Berserk: The Golden Age Arc II - Battle For Doldrey
    - Black Lagoon
    - Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage
    - Bleach Seasons 1-3
    - Bleach: Memories of Nobody
    - Bleach: The Diamond Dust Rebellion
    - Bleach: Fade to Black
    - Busou Shinki
    - Code Geass Season 1
    - Death Note
    - Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb
    - K
    - Love, Chuunibyou and Other Delusions
    - Magi Season 1
    - Maoyu
    - Mardock Scramble: The First Compression
    - Mardock Scramble: The Second Combustion
    - Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan Season 1
    - Persona 4: The Animation
    - Princess Jellyfish
    - Problem Children Are Coming From Another Dimension
    - Samurai Girls Season 1
    - Sasami-san@Ganbaranai
    - Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie
    - Student Council's Discretion Lv. 2
    - Tamako Market
    - Tiger & Bunny
    - UN-GO
    - Vampire Knight

    Watched the first 2 simulcasts of Magi and was a skippable ad and no real hiccups, even without an account.

    Also, a site called Viewstar (which reminds me a lot of a free version of Netflix with its layout) has added a few older series to its lineup:
    - Armitage III
    - Dance in the Vampire Bund
    - Deadman Wonderland
    - El Cazador De La Bruja
    - FLCL
    - Girls Bravo
    - Hellsing
    - Is This A Zombie?
    - Ouran High School Host Club
    - Shuffle!
    - Strike Witches (Season 2)

    Agan, no ads before viewing as far as I could see, though some series (such as Hellsing) are in 4:3 aspect which offends my widescreen sensibilities :p


    Among other anime/manga related topics, MangaUK announced a few more DVD/Blu-rays licences for the next few months:
    - Attack On Titan, which was previously announced at Comic Con back in May, is on track for a DVD and blu-ray release next year.
    - Dragonball GT will be released as two DVD collections in January and March.
    - Evangelion 3.33: You Can (Not) Redo will be released on both DVD and Blu-ray at the end of March.
    - Naruto Shippuden the Movie: The Lost Tower will be releases on DVD and and as a DVD/BD combi-pack in February.
    - Psycho-Pass will be released on both DVD and Blu-ray in two half-season sets next Spring.
    - Steins;Gate The Movie: Loading Area of Déjà vu, which saw its premiere recently at the Scotland Loves Anime festival, is being "worked on".

    Finally, Crunchyroll is opening a Manga section from the end of next week, offering series a day after they launch in Japan including Attack on Titan, Coppelion, Fairy Tail and a afew others. Subs will get you back catalogue access while free accounts just the newest issues for a week after release. Still, a nice cherry on top for my sub.

    The Hyperjapan store was pretty disappointing, they had next to nothing in it. Selling pocky for £2.50 was taking the piss too.
