I was lucky enough to catch Maya Okamoto (the voice actress of Orihime Soletta) wandering around the convention. So of course I asked for a photo. :D | Maya Okamoto with an Orihime cosplayer* | Peorth, Maya Okamoto and Zack. Yah, random crossovers but who cares? I got a picture with Maya! :D | ||
Kazuyoshi Katayama (director of The Big O), Hidenori Matsubara (character designer for AMG and Sakura Taisen) and Maya Okamoto. I'm afraid I don't know who the woman in front is. :( Again, they were just standing around in the hotel so I asked to get a picture of them. :) | Getting photos with Kouhei Tanaka (song composer for Sakura Taisen anime and musicals). | |||
Ohgami and Sumire | Iris from the Sakura Taisen stage shows. | Theatrical Sakura. Ooooh shiny! * | ||
Ohgami Ichiro's battle uniform | Two Ohgami Ichiros | Orihime Soletta | Sakura and Lionel of Usagichan.com Hehe, silly people. :) | |

Sanzo from Saiyuki | Double your Sanzo, double your demon killing fun! | Haruko from FLCL. She actually had a real bass with her. :D | Aww a cute cat girl. | |
The Wolf's Rain cosplay group! | I caught the tail end of the Wolf's Rain group, but I did get a chance to get some silly Darcia photos. :) Yes, I know this is completely out of "character" but I thought it looked cool. :) Poor Yui, she was just trying to sit down and I kept telling her to not move so I could take a photo. Hey, when you're dressed like that you look cool no matter what you're doing. :) Too bad we couldn't convince her pose on the grand piano. ;-) | |||
FILTH Kaoru | Mana-inspired panda | Uh oh, she's nibbling at the plants! | ||
EGL (elegant gothic lolita) wedding dress. Very cool looking. :) |
Gekka no Yakusokyu Kozi (Jester)
Can you believe she was also our Ayane at the DOA Gathering? :D |

This was the J-Rock group that was in the ACen masquerade. Their skit was very funny which included DDR music and the song "I'm too Sexy!" :) I believe they also said that they were sponsored by Dr Scholl's. How else do you wear platform shoes? :) | And more J-Rock costumes around ACen | |||
Vash the Stampede of Trigun | Vash (Trigun) and Alucard of Hellsing | A very well done Walter from Hellsing. He even has a monocle! | ||
Seras Victora and Integral Hellsing working at one of the booths in the dealer room. | Another very proper and serious Integral Hellsing | Red Seras Victora | Wait... I don't remember of Seras is able to go into the sunlight or not. ;-) | |
Alexander Anderson (Hellsing) with some really cool blades. | Asuka Langley of Neon Genesis Evangelion | Rei Ayanami in her plug suit | Rei looking creepy in her school girl uniform. | |
Crimson Cat Shadow. She's just so crimson. I guess that's where the name came from. ;-) | Rei and Crimson Cat Shadow are joining forces! Oh no! We're doomed! | A NERV soldier. Very nice with all the shoulder holsters and accessories that don't quite show up in photos. :) | Holy cow, she's soooo pink. I'm getting cavities just looking at her! XD | |
Paradise Kiss cosplayers! Wow, those costumes are just amazing! I never seen the manga before, but after looking at these costumes, I'm picking it up on my next manga run! | ||||
Angel from King of Fighters 2002 | "May" Lee Jin Ju of KOF | Angel and May back to back | Oh well, it was bound to happen! Fight! | |
Kula Diamond of KOF. Very nice detail on the back. | Wow, aren't K' and Diamond getting friendly? | Iori Yagami of KOF | ||
Sheik of Super Smash Brothers Melee | Wait!? How did Angel and Sheik get into a fight!? | Yay! RahXephon cosplay. You never see enough of them! :( | ||
This is the Pokemon your parents never wanted you to see. Pimp Ash and his Poke-hos! Hehe, I find this highly funny. :) | You gotta love Love Hina cosplay, all you need is a towel and a cute pair of slippers. :D | Chun-Li of Street Fighter. She was very in the masquerade walkon, she did the jumping/giggling victory pose in the video game! :) It was very cute. | ||
A very impressive Guilty Gear gathering. | Johnny from Guilty Gear... who's the Studmaster now? | From Gundam Wing |
