Sinclair with just one of the many Integra Hellsings running around.

|
What a lovely pair of wings! One day I'm going to cosplay as someone with wings, just so I can get a pair; I think they are so pretty!
|
|
|
This kid was dressed as a Zaku mobile suit. Pretty good mecha cosplay!
|
|
|
A very suave looking Eikichi Onizuka from GTO. One the best ones I've ever seen.
|
|
|
This really sweet lady is cosplaying as Naru from Love Hina; she's in Naru's Christmas outfit. I believe there was also a Mitsumi running around in her Christmas dress too... ~_^ though I can't confirm that!
|
|
|
Someone from Guilty Gear X... She's a brave one. Double-sided tape anyone?
|
|
|
I nicknamed these two "The Fan-girls" for obvious reasons. They're from the video game Sengoku Musou. The one on the left informed me later that her friend roped her into dressing as the character, saying she was perfect for the role and had to do it. I didn't hear any complaints from the multitude of photographers.
|
|
|
A group of Japanese cosplayers with very well done costumes, also from Sengoku Musou (aka Samurai Warriors).
|
|
|
Here are two more characters from Hellsing: a sly looking Walter and a Celes Victoria carrying one BIG gun (and here I thought lugging around my Sailor Pluto time staff was annoying)!
|
|
|
For some reason cosplaying Mai from King Of Fighters is still very popular; I have always seen at least two or three Mai Shiranui's walking around at cons. I'm sure the guys don't mind though!
|
|
|
While walking through Artists' Alley, I came across a young Belldandy. She apperently went on a shopping spree but still had enough energy to present a smile.
|
|
|
I was pleasantly surprised to see Last Exile cosplayers. Here is a very well done Sophia from the Silvana.
|
|
|
Misao times two! Looks like these adorable ninja girls from Rurouni Kenshin wanted to make sure that their sempai Aoshi couldn't get away from them (although it doesn't look like he would want to, anyway)!
|
|
|
Now this is the type of cosplay I love to see: here is a very well done Meroko from Full Moon wo Sagashite, one of my favorite anime shows. I wish there were more cosplayers from this show... One thing is missing from this picture and that's Takuto!
|
|
|
Final Fantasy is still going strong among AX cosplayers as this well done Yuna attests.
|
|
|
Some great costumes on these Full Metal Alchemist cosplayers. Another series I wish I had seen but I already have a big enough backlog of anime to watch. Funny thing about cosplaying, sometimes it was nearly impossible to get anywhere with all the cosplayers to take photos of or having your photo taken.
|
|
|
Oh look, it's one of my favorite characters from Azumanga Daioh, Chiyo! Sinclair took one look at the cat standing behind her and started pointing and then ran off into the crowd yelling "Jaws! Jaws!" So that's what he was talking about all along!
|
|
|
Cammy after a short bathroom break. Yes, guys, those muscles are real! So don't make her angry!
|
|
|
Video game worlds collide too at AX. Cammy (how buff is she?) from Street Fighter and Felicia from Darkstalkers. And people ask why anime conventions are worth going to?
|
|
|
A view from the third floor of the convention center. That's our hotel (the Marriot) straight ahead.
|
|
|
Hey, I don't remember cosplaying as Miaka from Fushigi Yuugi! Wait a second, that's not me! Jesse swore that he saw a dead ringer for me somewhere... could this be my doppelganger? I hope she shows up next year so we can meet!
|
|
|
Some Xenosaga people... really nice detailed costumes... I love it when people give cosplaying their all!
|
|
|
One of the 'Fan-girls' obliged me with a solo photograph. Those fans were not very heavy, which was a good thing since these ladies had to pose with them for long time for all the photographers.
|
|
|
Lisa looking breathtaking in a traditional Chinese dress. She had been looking for one of these for awhile but they are difficult to come by in the Midwest. We actually found two in Little Saigon for her very quickly (all thanks to Jesse, who told us where to go). Believe me, this photo does not do her justice. I am one very lucky guy.
|

|
What happens when you cross a Final Fantasy 9 wizard with an Oh! My Goddess Belldandy? ... You get really weird (but very magical) kids! (Okay, that was lame, I know; sorry if you were expecting something better.)
|
|
|
A lovely Lavie from Last Exile; I believe Sinclair said she was hot! Funny, I don't remember him saying that about the Lavie that's
actually in Last Exile, though. Grrr...
|
|
|
A very well done Last Exile gathering. The folks cosplaying as Silvana crewmembers did a fantastic job with their uniforms. Of course, Lavie is pretty easy on the eyes too.
|
|
|
Sophia from the Silvana with a rather petulant Alvis. She was tired and did NOT want her photo taken as this picture indicates. Still was a good costume though.
