Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 SQUIRTEL

Need anything even be said? It was SQUIRTEL! So I took a picture. ^_^

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 RETRO-G GUY

Well, I confess that I adore Retro G clothes, but they're expensive, and considerable smaller than myself. Of course, it isn't allowed to take photos in their booth, so I found someone walking around in their clothes, and took a picture of him instead.

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008: MATT, NEAR, AND MELLO

My friends and a Near cosplayer we met. Taken on Sunday in front of the TCC .

Sister ship to the Northwestern.

Videos: BMIIDXRED: NORTH LIGHT7

Okay. Pop'n Music is NOT working again, DDR's songlist got boring (and nothing else to play other than Cowgirl and Love2 Sugar.), and Dance ManiaX isn't worth much of a challenge. (Well, maybe. But it's just mainly like on for fun.) So I decide to hit on (a semi-bad) Beatmania IIDX RED game. And you know I played North before (IIDX chart) via Feeling PoMu. So in IIDX... It's a hell of a easy and fun chart. (Even though it's WAY EASY for you IIDX Masters. :P) Maybe htats why it got selected in...

Photos: ANIME NORTH 08 DEAD JOE

My friend Joe, looking oh-so-lively, with his Akatsuki cloak zipped over his face. Taken on Sunday, in front of the TCC.

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 GUITAR HERO KAKASHI COSPLAY

Just the idea of guitar hero Kakashi makes me giggle. XD

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 SHADOW BEAST COSPLAY

As a Legend of Zelda fan, and one who enjoyed Twilight Princess, I flipped when I spotted this guy. Poor guy was really, really hot though.

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 SUISEISEKI AND SUISOUSEKI COSPLAY

I spotted these two on Sunday, and got their picture. I've always loved the costumes in Rozen Maiden, and they did such a lovely job!

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 WIZARD COSPLAY

I don't actually recognise this costume..but apparently she's a Wizard from an obscure Korean video game. Her costume was just so lovely, and her hair in such perfect pin curls that I had to get her picture!

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 WHITE RABBIT COSPLAY

To be completely honest, I'm not entirely sure what she was cosplaying, though I think it must be Alice in Wonderland inspired. I just thought it was a great outfit.

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 GUILMON COSPLAY

It was impossible to miss these amazing Digimon cosplays, so I grabbed my chance for a photo as I passed on Sunday.

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 JOE'S AKATSUKI

This is my friend Joe, who I went to the con with, in his new Akatsuki cloak he bought in the dealer's room. Doesn't he look happy about it?

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 MATT COSPLAY

This is my friend Mikaela in her Matt cosplay, taken in the dealer room on Sunday when I bumped into her.

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 MELLO COSPLAY

This was when I finally tracked down my friends, and saw Breanna's Mello cosplay for the first time. I was taking the picture, and didn't even realise at the time that Mikaela was running up in the background. I couldn't help giggling, when I uploaded it to the computer and noticed her.

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 WA-LOLITA

I spotted the headpiece first, on this adorable Wa-Lolita (traditional lolita) in the dealer room on Sunday. If you'll care to look, her head has felt sushi stuck to it. I thought it was the most awesome little headdress ever, so I had to take her picture.

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 JENOVA COSPLAY

I bumped into this person while Steve was trying to find something to spend his last $20 on, and was like O.O!!!! JENOVA!!! and took a picture, even though it was very, very crowded, at the time. Because honestly, how often do you come accross a Jenova cosplayer?

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 JAN COSPLAY

I spotted this Jan cosplayer from Hellsing on my way into the Dealer Room on Sunday, but didn't have an opportunity to take a picture, which was disappointing. I LOVE Hellsing. But luckily, I tracked him down IN the dealer's room and managed to take a pic.

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 CLOUD TIFA AND AERITH COSPLAY

A group I happened to spy in the Dealer's room on Sunday. I felt kind of bad, because when I saw them, they were just getting up after posing for another picture, and I made them get all back into position. The poor Aerith had just stood up. They had an awesome group pose, though.

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 AXEL AND ROXAS COSPLAY

Axel and Roxas cosplayers I spotted in the dealer's room on Sunday. The Chakrams and keyblades were awesome.

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 RENO COSPLAY

A Reno (Final Fantasy VII Advent Children) cosplayer, from Sunday in the Dealer's room, at Anime North

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 STEVE JOE AND I

One of the lobby pictures from Sunday morning, of me in my casual-lolita outfit, and Steve and Joe, to prove that they actually DID go to Anime North with me, this year.

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 (VERY) CASUAL LOLITA ME

Well, I managed to throw together a casual lolita ensemble for the Sunday of Anime North 2008 (the tights were changed to white and black later), and had my mom take a few pictures in the hotel lobby, before we headed back to the con.

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 DIR EN GREY COSPLAY

I was so excited when I found this group. I've seen Kyo cosplayers before, but never the whole band! It was totally by chance that I met them, too. I was in the Double Tree hotel, heading for a lolita fashion panel, when I heard my friend Josh screaming "MEGAN! MEGAN! DIR EN GREY!", so I turned around, and there they were. So I took the picture, gushed over how awesome it was to see them, and got hugs from the whole "band".

Photos: ANIME NORTH 2008 KENPACHI ZARAKI AND YACHIRU COSPLAY

Taken on Saturday of Anime North 2008. He was the only Kenpachi cosplayer I saw all weekend with Yachiru, so, naturally, photographic evidence was needed.
