Anime Characters Galore!
It's the lavender haired wonder from Dragonball Z - Trunks! This looks like a Devil Hunter Yohko costume to me, but she didn't have her hair in loopy braids, so I'm not sure! Very nice costume though!! (156346 bytes) A very nice Luna as human costume! (117627 bytes) It's three from Clamp's Magic Knight Rayearth! They did a great little cosplay skit, but those pics didn't come out to well. (147736 bytes) Princess Serenity with the Silver Millenium Crystal. (147734 bytes) A very kawaii Super Chibi Moon costume! (131569 bytes)

Cosplay Pics
The cosplay room was very poorly lit and I had a pretty lousy seat.
Thus these are NOT the best pics. :P  As it was often *very* hard to hear the performers,
I wasn't always sure what the skit was about.  ::sigh:::
I didn't recognize all the characters of this group, only Anubis and Trunks, but they had a funny bit about the female charcters demanding the two male characters do a striptease. LOL (138031 bytes) Cute skit where Belldandy (Ah, My Goddess) grants Luna's request to become human so she can hunt down bishounen. :D (94544 bytes) Funny little skit about the Gundam Wing guys and their "discussion" over who was the most popular. Hehehe! (160888 bytes) I'm not sure what anime these two were recreating a battle scene from, but WOW was the guy on the right fantastic!!!! (165360 bytes)
 I wish you could see these costumes better!! It's Eternal Sailor Moon and Sailor Tin Nyanko facing off! (94389 bytes) Pretty Sammy (Tenchi Muyo) vs. Sailor Tin Nyanko - I *think* Ryo-ohki was actually the one who finally won! LOL (87546 bytes) A very funny skit about the characters from Fushigi Yuugi asking for their wished to be granted. :) (298876 bytes) I think this costume is from the Dance, Dance, Revolution game. (87118 bytes)
