Sakura-Con Cosplay Extravaganza!

9

Click to view the gallery!

I just got back from the Seattle-based anime convention, Sakura-Con. For me, it has been a tradition to attend every year since 2002 (I think). One of my favorite things to do there is take pictures of all the different cosplayers. The last couple years, I have even taken to doing a bit of cosplay myself. In the photo above, you can see me, dressed as Little Mac (Punch-Out!), in a furious battle with Strong Bad.

Last year, I was in a Mega Man group cosplay with me as Dr. Wily from the Rockman MegaMix manga and 2 of my buddies as Proto Man and Mega Man from the American Mega Man 1 boxart. That year we got stopped a ton of times by people wanting a picture. Unfortunately, my Little Mac cosplay wasn’t so lucky. The average age of con attendees seems to be too young to be familiar with “Punch-Out!”. I did, however, have a few people recognize me and stop me to get a picture. The employee working at the Pink Godzilla booth recognized my cosplay right away, and then proceeded to tell me how awesome the new Punch-Out! for Wii is. I’m not sure where he got a chance to preview it.

You’ll have to view the gallery to really experience the craziness. And now, without further ado, I leave you with this:

    That Strong Bad is kind of scary looking.

    I didn’t know he was EIGHT FEET TALL!

    this (and being at the con itself) just reminds me of the fact that although I enjoy things like anime, japanese developed games, and even certain jpop, I reeeeeally can’t stand the majority of the people within that fanbase. So many of them are really loud and obnoxious.

    I agree. I usually feel really uncomfortable not being behind the table at cons now.

    Wasn’t expecting to see my picture floating around on the net, but kind of cool. Good times and nice Little Mac cosplay.
