oooooh... Choco banana.
So last weekend was Cosfest VIII: A Very Happy Event. And oh, how HAPPY it was. XD
There were tons of Kuroshitsuji and Hetalia cosplayers instead. Interestingly, there were at least two Kokuyou gangs there, and Lili's friends cosplayed the TYL!Varia. And on the last day itself there was at least a Colonello, a teeny tiny Squalo, a TYL!Ryohei and two TYL!Mukurous XD
The first day was a lot less crowded - mainly what happened was the karaoke contest and the winner got a wide-screen TV omg. She was really good though - she got the nasal Japanese way of singing down pat, and she was very bubbly and friendly on stage. And the song got stuck in my head for at least a day after the whole thing. XD
Like I said, tons of Kuroshitsuji cosplayers. There were at least 2 different girl!Ciel cosplayers on the first day alone, and 3 normal Ciels. There was a whole set walking around too (Ciel, Sebastian, Madame Red, Grell and the Undertaker) but I didn't manage to take a photo of them.
Liechtenstein and Canada (who?)
Aren't they just the most adorable set of brothers EVER? ♥♥♥
This was just the perfect ninja photo op - Kuroshitsuji and Hetalia side by side XD
A very nice Kokuyou gang.
Zura- I mean, Katsura and Elizabeth on the left, Okita and Hijikata on the right XD That blur is Gintoki moving too fast for the eye to see XDDD
Or wait, maybe this is the most adorable set of brothers ever XD
And here's the TYL!Varia! Unfortunately the Squalo got grounded D:
This is a pair of epic cosplayers whose names I have forgotten (orz) cosplaying as Kaito and Hatsune Miku ♥
And here's Kei, Chris and Sarah cosplaying as Azula, Ty Lee and Katara. (Fiona was supposed to cosplay as one of the Kyoushi Warriors - Suki, I think - but signals got crossed and, well, things happened.)
So Fiona cosplayed as Badou from Dogs on Saturday instead. (orz for horrendously blurry photo) Unfortunately I didn't catch Fiona on the second day ;A;
At the end of the day, an EPIC BATTORU ensued XD
The Group and Solo cosplayers competition was held on Sunday and the Macross Frontier duo got to go to WCS in Japan! They were really good, too - it was .. well, you had to be there to witness the ultimatee-ness of the cosplay.
Then there was the HILARIOUS Alex Louis Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist (who did the same cosplay for both days, but it was so EXTREME that we all forgave him XD) who was recruiting young boys for the Young Alchemist Oomph Institution - he even did a recruitment song and dance to the tune of Y.M.C.A XD
Psst. This isn't my photo - if you'd like me to take it down just comment!Naturally, he won the solo cosplayers competition, which was a ticket to Japan on .. ANA, I think.
Can you imagine? He was even giving out recruitment posters and stickers for Y.A.O.I! XD
Among the solo cosplayers there was also a guy who cosplayed as one of the guys from Princess Princess - and REALLY crossdressed as a girl XDDD Unfortunately I lost sight of him after he got off the stage.
This is the stage full of group cosplay competitors.
Zeph cosplayed as Yuji from Shakugan no Shana XD I always thought of Yuji as a bit of a dame-dame character but she made him quite kakkoii XDDD And their entry got into the finals for WCS entry! ♥ Too bad they lost to the Marcoss Frontier group though.
And Xiang Wen's friend was the Watanuki in the top hat XD That xxxHoLiC team had such a good skit XD And they even had the theme music down! ♥♥♥
The Code Geass team was also epic and so sad ;A;
There were also Gundams
Well when I say were, I meant was - there was only one XD But it was fantastic. I had to stretch up all the way on my tippy-toes and with out-stretched arms to take that photo XD SO EPIC OMG
I have no idea who this is, but this is truly another EPIC cosplay - I mean, the TV looked totally real! It looked like it would hurt if you banged into him XD
And this is Lili-chan as crack!Sakura XD She was cosplaying the comatose Sakura but in this one she nommed poor Mokona XDDD just for me XDDD
And now, presenting my loot for Cosfest ♥ 2 Hetalia doujin which came with 2 postcards each, a YamaGoku postcard which is so cuuuuuute, some KHR stickers, and a Grell with a Sebas-chan doll XDDD
And then I had Choco Banana Pocky~
