New York Comic Con Cosplay Dilemma

Published by Hinano at 8:36 pm under Conventions

In case you guys didn’t know I’ll be going to the New York Comic Con on Saturday only though (mainly to see TMR concert in a squishy room :lol: ) I figured a con is an excuse to cosplay (*is a cosplay addict like Ohno) but I’m trying to save money for various things so have to be pretty cheap this time. So while I was reading Katekyou Hitman Reborn! today I thought of a fairly cheap but doable cosplay both JP & I could do:

Would this work? I mean hell I recall seeing a Mukuro cosplayer at New York Anime Festival o_o; Our original plans were to do Nougami Neuro and Yako but we didn’t wanna spend like $80+ to get a goofy looking blue suit that could never really be used again. At least for the Reborn cosplay I pretty much have everything and we don’t need to spend money on wigs. The downer? Well no one would really be able to recognize us without a Reborn group…but I doubt that cosplaying as Neuro anyone would recognize us in the first place. :???:

Thoughts anyone?

    This is a much better idea than when I was supposed to go to Otakon dressed as the yaranaika guy.

    you should go with reborn! XD
    the show is just awesome, so why not cosplay?
    its better than spending tons of money when you can save it to buy stuff at the con right? n____n

    Hmmmm, spend money on the honeymoon or cosplay? Quite a predicament for an otaku couple :lol: Personally, I’d save up for the honeymooon :mrgreen:

    I think the real question is, why the heck do you want to see TMR live?? XD

    Because I like his songs :(
    *dances to Hesokujou Venus* :cool:

    Actually if you don’t come to Comic Con you may not see me for a while because at the way things are looking I may be skipping Anime Next.

    I’d go with Kyon/Haruhi anyway…

  10. # DS UNITED STATESon 17 Mar 2008 at 10:06 pm

    But are anime cons the only place I can see you…..? :razz:

    thinking on haruhi, you could always go with a bunny girl costume and say youre mikuru or the afformentioned crack in the space-time continuum/technological singularity/god. Kyons not that hard to do either so youre set.

    ewok> that’s out of the question :P

    DS> I dunno you never come down to NY for other reasons? XD

  13. # Seradon UNITED STATESon 17 Mar 2008 at 10:42 pm

    …what about Inukami?

    Very pretty banner, especially the harmonious color scheme with the entire page. This is your best one yet.

    Well, NY is having Asia Week right now (actually three weeks this year).

    The Asia Society has an exhibition of ukiyo-e (part 1 through march 30)
    and the Met has a show on Chinese painting. I don’t know if you and jp are into classical East Asian art though… XD

  16. # DrmChsr0 SINGAPOREon 18 Mar 2008 at 6:55 am

    So jp is going as the girl? :P

    A trap is fine too!

  18. # Hinano UNITED STATESon 18 Mar 2008 at 8:41 am

    Asia week huh…nope not interested. :cool: haha…

    JP could never be a trap he’s too GAR :mrgreen:

    I think you’ve picked a fine choice, and if done properly it won’t look too “frugal” at all.

    And if you go with the $80 blue suit, just sell it on Ebay. Just make sure the page is in Spanish. It will sale quickly. :)

    I see you have Galaxy Angel-ed up your banner. It’s the best one yet.

    My banner, on the other hand, has a Canadian lighthouse.

  21. # DS UNITED STATESon 18 Mar 2008 at 10:11 pm

    OK, no Asian Art. How about you give me a tour of some Japanese grocery stores and restaurants… (Singaporean) Conveyor Belt sushi and such things… :smile:

  22. # Hinano UNITED STATESon 19 Mar 2008 at 7:38 am

    DS> That’s cool let me know when you’re free! :cool:

    The only TMR song I can remember is that burning cellphone song.
