I am very grateful to all the cosplayers who graciously let us photograph them. They all looked great and I wish I could have bothered more people and taken even more pictures.
I cannot recognize any of the costumes. In a few cases I was able to ask what the costumes were. I did not always understand the explanation...
The Tokyopop stand.
Meanwhile it was snowing outside. That kind of weather put some of those costumes in perspective.
I asked her what anime the costume and the sign referenced but I did not understand the explanation. I noticed that other people around me understood what it was about.
Those next few guys had great costumes and looked a little blaze from all the people wanting their pictures two days in a row. That's why I often hesitated before bothering cosplayers and I tried to be very polite using broken japanese.
A lot of engineering went into this costume, but it paid off big.
The "big boss" is wearing his convention badge on his back.
At this point people started a chain, singing and dancing.
Some younger cosplayers formed hugging circles like this one.
He looked like he got an important message on his blackberry just as I was taking his picture.
People insisting I wear inappropriate headdress for pictures.This situation occurred in Akihabara as well. I'm getting used to it.
ZELDA! The holy grail of console gaming, literally.
I am wearing a very silly grin because this is way better than finishing Zelda.
Still grinning like a perv. I can't help it. It's Zelda!
Very nice costume. I thought he might be Louie the Rune Soldier, but he is actually a character from Slayers.
