Some just amazing costumes from the series Galaxy Fraulein Yuna. They were really nice especially when I asked them how they made the costumes. Lots of people were asking them about that. :) They also had a pit crew of sorts, their moms! They were in an almost constant need of repair, touch ups, just help doing things because their costumes were so bulky. But it sure looks worth it! | |||
And for more of your bot anime pleasure, Gundam! He had a great costume. I wish I took some more photos actually. :( The wings actually come out! He won first place in the costume contest! Congratulations! | All of the bots together! :D | Some photo fun with the participants of the Cherry Blossom Festival. | |

The Taiko drum float that was behind the anime float. | The lucky cosplayers who were asked to be on the anime float. Apparently, it was a bit of challenge being on that float since all of the costumes were a little bulky with wings and props and such. Chris (the Gundam) was tell me that you realy couldn't move too much since you'd bump into someone's costume! 8-O | ||
The costume judging line. There were a lot of people in costume that day. We must have scared the locals... well maybe not, it is San Francisco. :) * | The parade from my point of view. :) There was a *whole* lot of people when we walked through Japantown. It was fun. :D | ||
