Yes I am coming out all the way from California, Bay Area to attend Otakon once again just like last year. A deathly 6 hour torture on a plane.

We think about how the very word cosplay breaks down, we see that it means essentially costume play. Therefore by it's very definition it includes anything that involves dressing up in a unique costume that is either different from everyday wear or a unique combination of closet wear that makes a reference to a specific character. Correct me if my research is wrong, but this term itself was originally created by the Japanese as a fusion of the two words costume and play with their quirk to shorten and meld words to create new terms to describe brand new phenomenon. Therefore we can suppose that it was meant to apply to everything and not just to the anime subculture. However, like any cultural facets that are imported from other countries, cosplay has an entirely different meaning to most of the mainstream otaku community. Here cosplay is nearly the same thing as the otaku subculture in America. So interpreting it within a whole different set of guidelines, it means something else entirely to those of us within the US. But that doesn't mean that his definition can't change to accommodate non-anime and Asian culture costume plays as well.
Personally I'd have to say that while seeing good cosplayers are a joy regardless of whether their character is from an Asian subculture or not, it does unsettle me to a tiny small point to see the number of non-Asian cosplayers increasing every year when the whole point of the anime/otaku subculture here in America is I think to merge it into American culture, accepting it as an enjoyable part of another culture that has a place here in ours. I don't see it as an interesting concept that we can corrupt and create our own perverted version of the original. Frankly, that's a habit we as Americans tend to do quite often whenever something we like falls into our hands. Instead of enjoying it in its original form we have to Americanize it first before we completely accept it into the mainstream culture. I recognize that most everyone, including even yours truly has done this time and time again. Though even though I say this, the number of anime cosplayers at the moment still by far outnumber those who are not in Asian culture cosplay as we can clearly see by the sheer number of Naruto and Bleach cosplayers every year at nearly every convention there is, no to include the multitude of cosplayers from other series.

2 Days left, is this all the people that are coming or just the ones actually not lazy enough to post and read up on the forums?
-
lawl, how do you kill some1 who is already dead Pein? I'm a manifestation of Itachi's dead spirit, muhahahaha, I'm invincible!
-
Haha! Even if you find a Sasuke, you will have to fight me to earn them back from my Sasuke Harem. Muhahaha! Long live the Uchihacest!
I look forward to beating you Naruto, I can't let Pein know his girl is having an affair with me afterall. lol
-
Oiy, that's Itachi-sama to you.
And try to get cotton for the clothes, they will breathe better since it is a Prom and thus dancing will be involved.
-
I had planned on not cosplaying this year since my Shisho cosplay isn't con-worthy yet, but this Naruto prom sounds interesting. I might go as Shino if I can. Any ideas on something he might wear?
-
xD i seriously feel like i did the cheapest costume after reading this thread: aside from the handstiched akatsuki cloak, the poster board, orange and black paint, and ribbon for tobi's mask. MUST OVER COME FIRST TIME COSPLAY ANXIETY!!!!!....and say "Tobi is a good boy....girl" repetitively.
Are you doing good Tobi or evil Tobi? Cause if you're doing good Tobi and you've got Noobie Cosplay Symdrome already before the con's even started, you might want to avoid me and me gf on Sun as I am going as good Tobi and she's going as Deidara. If your confidence hasn't been boosted by complements by then.

lol If you can survive an encounter with me, the life changing Itachi, then you will no longer be as shy as Hinata. For I am Itachi-sama and will change your life just like I did for my otouto and the uchiha ichisoku.
-
Once, you get going, just do the cosplay thingie. Go into your character and forget who you were before that. That way you'll be doing a good cosplay as well as getting over your nervousness. And a good boost of confidence is all you need to realize your cosplay was great.
-
I'm jus wondering here, I'd love to see a Neji/Tenten cosplayer in prom outfits, is there anyone where doing those? Perferably ones who aren't crossplaying.
-
Hokage Naruto huh? Can I find you on Saturday and demand you give back the power I gave you? lol
-
a black and simplified design kimono?
-
Yay! Yet another Akatsuki member!
-
vwaaaaaaa. You have to let me get photos of all you guys. Or I shall steal your volgola rings to complete the 7-3 set.
-
Update: I have managed to get together all the materials I need for my part of the prom outfit. All that's left is to see if the girl half can be found. Then once I have all the parts, commence operation make-a-cheap-ass-last-minute-cosplay-modification-costume. XD
-
I pride myself on the ability to do many different characters and switch between them almost instantaneously without ever breaking character. uh.
-
The very first day?!?
How troublesome....
-
BTW, I'm just wondering, since it's a crossplay that your friend is doing, how does she look. I usually look for strength in guys that cosplay as guy characters for a more realistic fight and looks in girls that crossplay as guy characters for the better photo shoot opportunities.
-
I will attempt to throw together a random tux like version of the Akatsuki stuff so maybe I might go with K. We will see.
Bleach vs Naruto photo shoot/meet up otakon 09?
in Cosplay!

I'm amused that no one has figured out that first of all, shinigami being souls can only be hurt by a "soul cutter" zanpakutou so that means pretty much no naruto character can really inflict damage on them. On the other hand, because Naruto series has things like the 4th hokage's soul sealing jutsu which almost seems like it was made to kill shinigami, it's kinda a pointless battle.
