Otakon 2008

August 8 - 10

Day One

Umi Ryuzaki - Other Worlds

Much like AnimeNEXT of this year, due to non-cosplay, non-convention, completely outside influences, my heart wasn't really in Otakon 2008. Thus, I took far less photos than usual, and I don't have the heart to do the detailed descriptive con reports I normally do. I do want to share the photos, however, and at least write a little caption for each, so, enjoy.

 

An awesome Venom and Spiderman.
Renee as Giorno Giovanna from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
This might be the best photo ever taken.

Maya Fey and Phoenix Wright from the Ace Attorney games. This girl was actually the one who handed me my badge and con stuff, and I couldn't get a picture of her at the time because my camera wasn't cooperating, I'm so glad I ran into her again!
The Pokemon shoot.
Yuko from xxxHOLiC.

Godot from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations. He actually carried around the coffee cup!
Mario!Rob as a black mage.
Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty.

Hime-chan and I.
Hime-chan, Skye, and I.
I wanted a picture of me just in case we ended up not being able to do a proper photoshoot, as it was getting late.
As you can tell by the fact that the pictures came out WAY dark and had to be fixed in Paintshop Pro.
A Sally in a ball gown! I was really impressed by her creativity.
Neo from The Matrix. I'm not sure if this is the same Neo I've seen at other Otakons, but he did the bullet time just as well, so he might be.
This Sora wasn't posing for me or anything, he was just sitting outside relaxing, and I thought the visual was so perfect I had to snap a picture of it.
Umi twin shot!
Fuu and Umi from Magic Knight Rayearth. Iron Man, Hancock, Spiderman, and Deadpool.
He's got a squishie on his head!
Dr. Horrible! Ella makes a friend.
Mandy looking fabulous as always.
Pat Gavin as Indiana Jones. Indy never loses his hat.
Lauren looking cute.
Old Snake from Metal Gear Solid 4. Kayla and Travis.
And here begins the Magic Knight Rayearth pics.
Unfortunately, my camera ended up being on a weird setting, so these all came out very dark. Too bad, too, I was REALLY looking forward to seeing how this picture came out.
We found a Ferio!
And we had much fun getting him to take "couple pictures" with our Fuu. Detective Gumshoe from the Ace Attorney games! He doesn't get enough love.
Ghostbusters with "working" photon packs!
See, she weighs, what, 90 lbs? Awwwwwwwww.
Me and Skye
Frank from Donnie Darko! I ran up to him, snapped this picture, and then ran the hell away--Frank scares the bejeebus out of me. Gir from Invader Zim!
Comfy shoes ftw!
