James from Pokemon. I wore it at AX2002, and people had no clue who the heck I was. I wear it now, and people go nuts. Go figure.

My first cosplay was Haruhi Suzumiya at Anime Wasabi '08.
And I was EMBARRASSED.
First of all, I didn't wear the headband because I couldn't find the right material to make it with, second, I wear glasses and couldn't afford contacts, and I didn't have the right socks or shoes. D:
But cosplaying for the first time was really fun. ^^;

I have never actually been to one.. Although I have always wanted to go
to one. Hehe.. I would go dressed as a anime character I made up
her name is Hobo Kitty. Its a cat girl whose a terrorist/assassin. ^^
I also want to take my little daughter and husband to one. It'd be so
much fun for her.

I've never cosplayed, but I really want to! Sometime in the next two years (that's my goal), I want to cosplay Tenten from the original Naruto (or maybe Shippuuden... I haven't decided yet). She's my favourite Naruto girl, and I look the most like her than any other anime character (that I know of). I don't want to have to buy a wig for my first cosplay, I want to see how much I like it first u_u

I've always wanted to try it, but there are never any opportunities around here, and I can't fly halfway across the country to go to a convention.

I never went to a cosplay convention or anything, but I did cosplay with some friends for Halloween ^^. I dressed up as Hinata from Naruto- the costume wasn't that good though, I had to make my own.

Heya! I'm relatively new to the whole anime/manga thing (probably been into it for around 6 months) and my cousin, who is a MAJOR anime lover has already invited me to a cosplay convention. Gulp.

Man! She's never been to one before either, but she's somewhat alot more confident than me.

I was just wondering what kind of things to expect?? So I'm not too shocked or... disturbed lol by anything completely unexpected!

Also I have no idea whatsoever who to cosplay as. I don't know who I could really pull off - coz I actually want to resemble my character.

Hmmmm, Im around 5"5, 110 pounds, shoulder length yellow/blonde hair - and I've got loads of colour eye contacts anyway, so that doesn't matter much.

I was thinking, Ed Elric - if I walk sorta hunched?> could help lol

Tsunade - But I don't think I have quite THAT much breast lol lol :D:D

I also really find the idea of doing Naruto's sexy no jutsu hilarious- but in no way am I confident enough for that.

Im prepared to buy a wig and the whole costume but I;m just sorta stumped as a newbie - any ideas??

thankies x

my first cosplay was only in may, and i went as Mello from death note (with my friend who went as Matt)
it was loads of fun! even though taking the first few steps outside the house were terrifying, but once we got there, i did know why we didn't go to one sooner! =]

My First is hopefully is Next year o.o... Going down with my Friend.

But Really not sure what I would want to Cosplay as.. tempted to do Zero but I've been looking for Helmet and that seems nearly impossible to get ahold of, If anyone knows anything about a Zero Helmet let me know ^^...

But I'll probably Cosplay as some Random Character from an Anime I enjoyed.

Let's see. It was Animefest 2006 and it was really cold in one of the viewing rooms so I impulsively bought one of the female uniforms from fma. X3 It was ALOT of fun, though the whole outfit was completely destroyed by my flipflops. XD

09-16-2008, 04:07 PM
My first cosplay was Sai from Naruto....I think I did an okay job... Seeing all the Naruto's at the con that were there were after me T_T If you wanna see how crappy I look then here... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l272/satsuki_01/anime037.jpg

I haven't cosplayed or gone to a convention yet; I missed the local one here a couple months back, but I do plan on trying it out sometime either for Halloween or a convention. I just have to figure out which anime character I resemble the most. My pic is in profile if you're good at figuring that stuff out. ^_^

09-20-2008, 12:47 PM
My first cosplay was of "L" from Deathnote. I really didn't think I'd get to go to my first con til a few months before the 2008 Sakuracon, so I had to go with a quicky costume. I really had wanted to do Darkside, but didn't have the time or the cash to put together a good costume for him.

Zenni-Kun
09-20-2008, 09:02 PM
ive never been to a convention, nor have i ever cosplayed before in my life, but when i get the outfit that i have in the works, i'l be dressing up as a kitsune named max, who has a sharp tounge and is even sharper with a sniper rifle, and yes he is a character that i myself created for an RP way long ago

DokiBox
09-22-2008, 05:33 PM
Kyaa!! xD I love James!

Well, I was Misha from Pita-ten. I picked the pajamas though since it was a first cosplay. Although, I'd never cosplay that sort of character anymore. <<
Too cute for my personality...

My first anime style cosplay was at Sekuracon, which I went to with Rebel, and I did a Natuto style character but not a specific character. Apparently a lot of people thought I was trying to do Naruto and it was poorly done, mainly because I had a frog on my shoulder.

Haseo, eh? You'll have to take pics to share with us. I'd like to see how the costume turns out.

10-13-2008, 09:03 AM
Don't worry I'll post pictures :). Regarding the costume I'll have to admit upfront that I'm paying somebody to custom design the costume for me. I would attempt to make it myself however, I currently live on board the Gettysburg and there isn't nearly enough room to make anything like that here:(.

11-08-2008, 09:48 PM
it wasn't to a con but i first cosplayed rock lee to a mates birthday party because i used to look just like him way back when now my hairs different though so i plan to buy a wig. i made the rest of the costume myself it was at the beginning of 2003 but i think did a damn good job. no pics though.... found out computers dont like magnets... the hard way:banghead::(

I don't yet have my character's "seifuku" (uniform- I'm cosplaying as Haruhi Suzumiya) yet, but I have the headband and that'd a start, so I'm taking pictures of me in casual cosplay. NEedless to say, I'm new and inexperienced so they're not v. good, but they're OK for my first time! :D

I am also a part of a cosplaying group called Behind the Anime. As soon as all our other members have their stuffs, we'll take pics, videotape ourselves n all that in skits :D

I didn't cosplay any main characters, just a common ZAFT soldier (No good weapons either, just a fake rifle....which the security checked if it was real, I was even frisked!!). I couldn't find any pictures to scan tho >_< (LOST FOREVER, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!)

I'm going to Anime Boston this upcoming May, it'll be my first con (there's never any around where I live- Boston's a good twelve hour drive, only reason I get to go is because my mom loves going to Boston).

Me, my brother, my sister, and my sister's boyfriend are going as Turks (from FFVII).
Not the existing ones, though- we're going as original Turk characters. We've already got our outfits together. It's gonna be fun!

We might be doing crazy stuff while we're there, so if anyone hears about crazy Turks at Anime Boston 'o9, it'd probably be us. xD

We were kicking around the idea of Harvest Moon characters, too, but I don't know if that's going to happen or not.

My first cosplay was the 8th of November, this year, where I cosplayed Sasori from Naruto, and my best pal cosplayed Deidara.
That's my first and last time as a Naruto character, it's not fun when you see 197348956 people in Akatsuki coats. o_o

My first cosplay was Hikari from Digimon season 2. It was at the Cowboy Bebop movie release back in 2003 and they were having a cosplay contest at a local theater.

My first cosplay at a con was Tifa Lockheart at Jacon 2003. My outfit was so ghetto. ><

My first cosplay was, believe it or not, Sailor Moon. :3 That's when it was still on TV after school around 4. I used to come home, rush over to the TV and whip on channel [enter channel number here - since I don't remember] and jump from one couch to the other.

I think I hit my head a few times, but.. whateve.

Anyway, It seemed as if my whole class was obsessed with Sailor Moon - so much so that we created a club, and yes.. I was Sailor Moon. My "boyfwend" at the time was Tuxedo Mask; it was so hilarious. :'D ( Well, my best guy friend, I should say. ) We had all of the Sailor Scouts including Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune. So, for that halloween my mom, grandmother, and I created the complete Sailor Moon oufit. I loved it so much, it was perfect. ( I loved the fact that I used fishing bobers as the red-like odangos in her hair. xD - My mom thought of that.)

I really wish I had a picture; ahh well. I still have the complete oufit. Plus, you have to realize that this was during 4th grade - Soooo yeah. xD

Such fun times <3

you should make the clothing thick.
like an overcoat or something.
and you can make the swords out of cardbord...
dont put aluminum foil on it if you dont want it to look fake.
put a smoot thin ducttape on it.
some cardbord underneath it.
like go to home depot or something and try to imagine the sword and you'll think of what to buy.
hopefully that helped

My first Cosplay was L from death Note. I had no time and it was my favorite Anime at the time and I love L. I took time in doing L. I made my hair look like his and I did really good. I can post a picture but I definitely didn't be in bare feet all day haha.

12-24-2008, 02:55 AM
I went to a con last year and it inspired me to cosplay this year when I go again. I want something simple, which is why I'm thinking Ash from Pokemon. Simple yet recognizable, so I think it'll work. I want to do something I can actually pull off well, so that's what I've got right now...

Well, last year was my first convention and cosplay attempt. And once again, another year of SakuraCon has rolled around. Alas, like last year, I wind up doing my costume at the last moment. But this time I am more prepared in knowledge. I have chosen to attend as Vincent from the Cowboy Bebop movie. A fairly straight forward costume. And my hair is down to my shoulders. Just need the dye it and do a tat on my arm, and I'm good to go yo.

November 22, 2008, I still have the name tag from Anime Kaiju Experience in Cambridge, Massachusetts where I cosplayed as my own character, Lucifer Crouw*, though I gender-bended him and went as the female version of him.

*I purposely misspelled his name as "☺ Lucy-fur ☺" before changing it to "☺ Looce-fur ☺" on the name tag/card, complete with the smilies.

I still need to find that Alucard cosplayer... :<_<:

My very first one was Kotoko from Chobits, though at that point I barely knew what cosplay was. My mom pretty much made that all for me, I just collected the materials. After that was Misa from Death Note, but, well... I rarely count Misa as cosplay, since it's usually just closet-cosplay (no offence).
So that makes my first one Haruhi Suzumiya, but...... That was bought. XD I didnt have time to make two costumes for the con, so I bought that and wore my selfmade Lucky star costume the next day. :3
