Anime Expo 2004 - Friday

July 3-5, 2004

It's another year and another wonderful Anime Expo. The highlight for cosplayers and anime fans alike.

For me, AX topped off a 2 year anniversary in cosplaying. All of this time spent making costumes, making friends and relighting my enjoyment of anime.

It's been a wonderful two years and I hope you'll share my excitement in another year of Anime Expo photos.

Ahhh, my first cosplay gathering at AX 2004. Of course it has to be from Sakura Taisen! X-D

I'm afraid I missed my own gathering. :( But we found some people anyway for a small group. :D

Kayama, Orihime, Kohran and Battlesuit Ohgami	Li Kohran from Sakura Wars/Sakura Taisen

These were a wonderful group of Samurai Warriors cosplayers. They were actually from Japan and spoke very little English. But, they were really nice and we communicated a lot with hand signals and very basic English words.

They had some amazing costumes and that's why there are so many pictures of them. LOL. :D

From Naruto		The lovely Urd from Ah! My Goddess
Maggie and John Woo (the bird) from R.O.D the TV		A very cool looking J-Rock style costume
The girls from Trigun offering donuts	Saiyuki group
Azumanga Daioh group

EGL Outfit		Orange Lolita
Two lollies sitting under a tree. :)		Lovely EGL from Princess Ai

Mitsurugi from Soul Calibur		Star Wars costumers attending AX for charity	Ibuki and Vega from Street Fighter
It's not an anime convention without Chii from Chobits. :)			And Zima for good measure

Warrior Rikku from Final Fantasy X-2	Mithra from Final Fantasy XI	Barrett from Final Fantasy VII

Generic J-Rock outfit		Grave from the video game, Gungrave		Gundam SEED group

FMA as it is known, seems to be the hot new anime this year.

I hate to admit it, but one of my guilty pleasures is the new Sailor Moon Live Action series. I'm really glad that people have already started to cosplay from it! X-D

They cosplayed Queen Beryl, Nephrite and Kunzite.

Guilty Gear

Guilty Gear gathering	Jam

A wonderfully done Dizzy. Her wings were actually adjustable and can collapse or expand out. It was very cool!



I-no and Ky Kiske

From HunterXHunter. Very nice guy from Japan, who didn't speak much English. Glad he was able to make it out to AX!	Sophia from Last Exile. I'm glad to see Last Exile costumes at AX since many people connected to the show, including the character designer, was at AX.
From Risky Safety	Lucia from Devil May Cry 2

Oscaru from The Rose of Versailles

The sisters of Firefly Path cosplaying from War of Genesis III	Adora from Magna Carta	A slight crossover, but who cares, they look really cool. ;-)
	Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch

Psycho le Cemu

My insane insane friends cosplayed from the J-Rock Visual Band, Psycho le Cemu. Not only that, but they cosplayed from the "Magic Box" DVD so it's even more obscure. I love it! X-D

	Hehehe, Utena is a big PLC fan. LOL!
