AX ‘08 Day - 01

So this post is a bit late but i was so tired i just passed out and i didn’t have any internet in the morning to i’m posting it now! Today the highlight of my day was meeting this guy, Faust721 (at least that was the name on his badge!). I was waiting in line for the Shokotan autograph session, and this guy asks me if i have a blog and if i run HowaGirlFigures.com. I was so excited! someone knew me from my blog! Does this make me famous? Or like a Celebrity? I don’t think so but it still made my day!

Saw the Anime Genesis and Anime diet Group! Sadly didn’t get many people taking my picture on the first day, not enough Aria fandom at AX this year. Plus i was the only, ONLY Aria cosplayer I’ve seen at AX this entire time!

So now here are some awesome Cosplays that i saw!

Really good Ino, she had a nice body for it as well but the boobs were a bit small but you the detail on the outfit was awesome!

Post Time Skip Nia and Simon

Gintama Cosplay, pose based off something they do in the anime (or so says the bf)

Yoko and Simon plus Lagann, was decent not great but i liked the effort!

Harima! looks like no one noticed him as much since he was so excited when i took his picture.

Alto and Ranka, not the best Alto but Adorable Ranka.

C.C. and Cheese kun! Didn’t really like the Viletta but she just jumped in :(

Cute Nia but she could have done a better pose.

Nia looks cute, but when she opened her mouth it’s terrible. I was thankful she closed her mouth for the picture…

This Guy made his own Myspace, while it seems lame he had all this stuff added to personalize it.

Another Harima, he was also so excited to get his picture taken. Not enough love for Harima?

Pony Pony Pony

Amulte Spade! Not many Shugo Chara cosplayers the first day…

SImon and Kittan, Kittan was a woman but she did it really well.

Transformer!

Adorable Shugo Chara cosplayers!

Kamina and Yoko, Her gun was WAY too big, and Kamina’s tattoos were off but it was still kidna good.

Meido!

Another Transformer guy!

Awesome Yoko, she seemed getting pissed about so many people taking her picture cause when i asked she gave me an attitude, but it was understandable sicne she was good!

Another Yoko, her costume wasn’t great but she had the boobs.

Best Young Simon and Nia. The rest of the Young Simons were fat women or fat men…

First people i saw the first day, Group of Three sisters, i got to know the Amu Cosplayers and did more stuff with her on Day 2.

    The insane guy next to us with all the Shokotan merchandise was lulz. You and Faust were pretty awesome though.

    LOL HARIMA!

    For the first one if you had not mentioned it I would have missed him, he was missing some hige. Nice pose for the first one though, looked more like Harima than the second.

    Very Nice!
    I did see you like 3 times during the entire Con, but i couldn’t ask for a pic because the first time i think it was the 1st day and the Exhibition Line was HUUUGE and saw you running to get in XD (yeah its understandable), second was in the AX Lobby, but there were a lot of people and i think i was going down the escalator and you up lol. 3rd was in a hallway but the traffic was horrible if i wanted to stop and take a pic T_T .

    But oh well good seems like a lot of people had fun in this Con (unlike last year) :] .

    hahah, poor harimas ^^; must always be rough for people cosplaying characters with mundane outfits. those guys should’ve gotten their friends to fill out the rest of the cast, then had a harima-karasuma-hanai showdown ^_^
