Post Your Pics!

She said it in the post! Kagura from Speed Grapher! Who is a cool character btw, and an epic anime.

Anyway nice pic, cool costume. Hope you had fun.

I believe Red didn’t notice, as his eyes were distracted by something else…

Great costume Gentay! That is an awesome character. I love that anime. Hope you had fun and I’m glad Haissan is pleased! :lol:

Awe, thanks everyone. I really enjoyed Speed Grapher: there were just so many levels to it - that it was just amazing.

I truly had a lot of fun wearing this cosplay. I received so many mixed reactions, all the way from ā€œskimpyā€ to ā€œOMG!!!ā€ to ā€œputting my bag on my butt so the pervert following behind me didn’t grab itā€. The reactions didn’t bother me at all, I was just having fun and I do plan to wear it again to future cons.

@DRCody - Lmao

Hmmm… makes me wonder if I should give Speed Grapher another try. I watched the first volume of it, and just couldn’t get into it. But it wouldn’t be the first time that happened with a show.

Also Gentay, your costume was nice. And it doesn’t seem that you have spend lots of money on all that pesky fabric! :stuck_out_tongue:

you should see it in person, just ask Rai

Cody: Speedgrapher is a great action/supernatural show. It’s chuck full of win, and get’s better after the first few episodes trust me. But it’s a very ACTION-Y (BOOM, explosions, LOUD NOISES, BIG FIGHTS) kinda show. If your not into shows like Black Lagoon and Mezzo DSA you might not like this. But for fans of edgy-action, the show is gold. Oh and unlike many action/gun-fight shows it is not afraid to spend time developing or fleshing out it’s characters. Many episodes will be practiclly slice-of-life-ish, dealign with Kagura and Saiga on the run. But those tend to be the best episodes as you learn a lot about these people, and it’s great to watch them all interact. And it really develops it’s characters too. I mean both Kagura and Saiga are not the same people they were when everything started. They are very different towards the end. Hell even the doctor, Genba Ryougoku , and Ginza the police girl change throughout the show. The main villian, Suitengu is one hell of a villain. You just gata see what he does. My only problem with it is it feels a little ā€œfreak of the weekā€ to it, like too many villians , too often. But that’s a very small problem. They manage to keep them all fresh, but anymore villains and it might have been a little ehh. They stopped at the right time. There is an overarching plot and it’s very epic. Also it has one of my favorite anime endings of all time, and easily Gonzo’s best. The artwork and animation is much better then people say. It’s very nice, but won’t win any rewards (ok the last episode is terrible though). Music is great stuff though.

You should give it another try. Although some people feel it’s a little too over the top for them…

loooooool woman behind Gentay with a stroller…yeah that’s what she wants her kids to see…

A logical decision based off illogical urges. Though I totally agree :slight_smile:

thank you redshirt one…look out! that bee will sting you! and you will inevitably die because you are inevitably allergic to bee stings and we don’t have any antihistamine and anti inflammatory aboard!!

Nice costume Haissan! But I have no idea who it is…

Gen was turning heads left and right, getting all kinds of pictures

can you believe I am wearing lipstick? and pulling it off? I think it is balanced by my pants don’t you?

Oh and the costume itself is not a person in particular, but it looks great.

Sorry, just needed to quote that…

I don’t think you have much room to talk princess. ^.- Although, you did look disturbingly cute as a chick shak…

I agree, and that maid costume was just the right touch (except for that t-shirt)

Lol, you wanted to have the chest hair poking out of my maid costume?
