Here's my AN10 video!
I wish I could GO Dx I hope you'll take pictures that sounds like an amazing cosplay!
I'll be there.
No idea if I'll be going as anything, though.
hey, I flew all the way down to texas, I expect you to fly up here for our con XD
I'm going. Gotta support the local con. plus my friends are thinking of getting an art table there.
not sure what I'll cosplay. I got some old costumes I wouldn't mind re-wearing. (L, chopper) I'd like to try and do Hiruma with good hair. (friggen expensive junk wig) Or maybe I'll get one of my new cosplays done for it. (maggey) or there's always the cop out, sanji. I got the hair, and my interview clothes look like sanji's
young iceberg, eh. (debates starting the blue/purple hair disagreement for the fun of it)

mm Yea we gotta! I mean seriously, I went last year and shall go again!
I know aside from Iceburg I will be re-using my Rukia from last year.
ahh you have a DA!?? am I watching you D:!!??? what's your name on DA?
Ah! I do indeed, naturally due to my absent minded foolishness, I come again as sushi1382 :) OH NO! I need to watch you still D: !!
Actually I realised I need a few oppinions/help for something;
Due to being younger and shorter I'm 9as mentioned) attendingg as young icebrg, so before Tom's execution. Just overall oppinions on how to apprach this are needed xP I do have most ideas in order, but need some feedback from people who know the character (unlike my cosplay partener heh)
Have you already cosplayed young Iceburg before? If you have,I WOULD LOVE to see pictures __ He's one of my FAVORITE characters xDDD
Regretfully no, I also hate to admit this is my first OP cosplay xD (though overall not my first) I'll be happy to post images once it's complete!
ME! This is my thinks…6th year? 7th? As always, looking forward to the insanity. <3
I'm hoping to grab a Nominoichi table, AND I want to get in on that Cosplay Chess game they've had the last few years. 8D And of course, the OP discussion is always high on the list.
Unfortunately, I've dedicated myself to completing a non-OP cosplay this year, and I think it's gonna be a handful (it's Checkmate from Ultimate Muscle/Kinnikuman Nisei):
!
If, IF! I get the chance for a second outfit, I really wanna try for Doctorine. Because she's awesome. <3
o_O
I am looking forward to seeing that.
^ Yeee-eah, me too.
Me, nervous? Noooooo. 8D;; Ehehehe…
That sounds like it'll be incredible to see! I hope you do :D
Nominoichi table? and I have yet to see this cosplay chess thing. how exactly does it work?
I was thinking the other day I might try volunteering. 10 hours and my badge is free. My friends are gonna be there with an art table the whole weekend, so I think that's do-able.
are you allowed to cosplay while volunteering?
I get the feeling I'm a smidgen over my head with the costume, but I've been wanting to do it for years, so this is the time. It'll be fun making those chess pieces…
Cap'n Usopp: The Nominoichi is basically a huge anime flea market AN has on Friday night at the Renaissance (now Sheraton) hotel. People can book a table, and are able to sell their old manga, anime, figures/dolls, games and cards. (here's AN 08's FAQ info on it). I got one in 2008, and actually made good money (about $100) off a small amount of stuff. I also have found some good deals/treasures there, like the all 7 FAKE books, in great condition, for $21. It's an awesome thing to check out.
And I don't know much about the cosplay chess, but I've heard it's pretty fun. Basically there's this HUGE chessboard on the floor, and cosplayers are used as the pieces on the board, being moved by their 'player', and of course, being silly. The teams normally have themes (girls vs guys, hero vs villian, shoujo vs shonen) from what I've heard. I thought it'd be funny to be in the game as a character BASED off of chess.
Just did a quick google, and here's some Youtube of last year's Cosplay Chess (teams were boys vs girl characters):

! And video of the first AN chess game from 06 (lookit, a putty on the front left! XD) Glad they've used bigger 'boards' since this, it looks a tad tight.

Wow this looks like so much fun! I am going to try and come up from Pennsylvania. This would be my first con ever though…and im young (17) so I really dont know what to do when I get there. :P
I will surely be saving for and working on a costume from here on out, im just curious if there will be a large gorup of One Piece people there, or if I can hang with some of the people there post on the forums here. Excited, and a bit nervous. ^^
oh that flea market thing. I was wondering if that was what it was. I'd love to get my own table if I could. I'm booking friday off work this year.

Don't worry last year was my first con at age 15, but I hope to see you! Hope you have a great time, the first is always memorable! Trust me, I know I'll be in the One Piece group :)

Awesome, hope to see you there. Who are you going as?
eeh hee. so much activity in the anime north thread. I'm enjoying this. I'm still debating about volunteering for this. I think it would be a fun opportunity, but I wanna enjoy the con too. I always like going to those guess the anime tune games.
Ah~, you never forget your first con. It was so fun, so overwhelming, yet seemed so short. Has it been 6 years already?… goes down memory lane for a minute

Hey, it's about time a thread got running. Only 131 days to go, y'know! 8D;; (crap, REALLY need to start MAKING things. Maybe try to find that stupid cape fabric…)
I'm so glad I got our rooms early this year, the scramble last January (JANUARY! For May! Wow.) was horrible. I thought we weren't gonna get room for us all...
I'm kinda considering volunteering next year, just so I can stay until the VERY end of the con for a change (normally gone by 2pm Sunday due to check-outs and group having to travel farther). I'm looking at the info this year for an idea of what it entails.
EDIT: Sounds like the One Piece photoshoot's already in it's tentative timeslot: Sat @ 7pm in front of the TCC (according to Cosplay.com)
There's a Vivi signed up! And Impel Down!Mr. 2 and Mr. 3!! And a RYUUMA! 8D Oh god I want pics of that.
(why do I suddenly wanna cosplay as Zoro's Shadow Zombie? NO, MUST. FOCUS.)
I'm in oakville, and my friends with a car want to get an art table, so they're gonna stay at my place, and i can get free rides.
why leave by 2pm. just throw all your stuff in the car, and hang out till the end. hamilton isn't THAT far a drive.

Well, see, I don't have a car, I use public transportation. ^^;; Nowhere to stash my stuff.
ah silly me. I decided to put the idea in my head that you had a car. why, I don't know. guess you could pack real light, and then all you'd have to do is carry around one bag for 4 hours or something. the last day the con starts to die down anyways. in some ways it's nice, cause there's less crowds, but then all the good stuff is bought out. and most of the events happen saterday anyways.

I'll be young Iceburg
C'mon guys, this thread is sorely lacking in cosplay pics and progress pics. So far, Becky's been the only one to rectify it by posting those Youtube vids. Anyone actually working on cosplay for this convention yet?
Also, hopefully you'll get a good group of OP cosplayers if there'll be an OP gathering. Looking forward to eventual pics.

Alright. Looking forward to seeing your Akainu.

Kinda hoping to start on my large chess pieces this weekend, just a smidge nervous about them. I screw up too many times, and I won't have a local supplier to start over with.
That, and look again for my cape fabric. Had no idea a large-scale checker pattern was so hard to find! D<
I'm a traitor and working on cosplay for Akon in texas. If I finish one of those, I might wear one here, or pick from my already made costumes. But I can't be shanks, or L from death note, cause I temp die my hair, and I need to save my hair for dieing in texas. Maybe I'll see if I can fix my Hiruma wig myself. (and torture my feet with those shoes again) or put on my chopper costume, which could also use some tweaks. There's always Sanji, but then I'd need to cut my hair a little shorter, which would interfere with my other cosplay for Akon.
I'm such a traitor
edit: wait. I better be done those costumes, cause Akon is the weekend after anime north. I won't have time to work on them after that! :)
I'm working on getting it together pictures will come, this I swear!
Anime North's Official Site just updated with info on this years Music Video and Momiji Design Contests.
They also have this reminder on the main page:
Also a quick reminder to those interested in being a part of this year's Comic Market/Crafter's Corner! You MUST pre-register with the convention before you can reserve a space so register now! Further information will be posted at a later date.
Things are starting to come together for AN10!
geez. i need to get off my ass and pre register. thanks for reminding me
Oh jeez, I think myself and sister have been registered…
Website's been updated again; the Momiji Gallery registration is now open.
Also, the first 2010 guest has just been announced: Pro-Wrestler Jushin "Thunder" Liger! Wiki page
Well, as a wrestling fan, I'm excited about this. :P
how does pro wrestling have anything to do with anime in general? (realizing rebecky might make a comment about ultimate muscle)

xD Well, BESIDES Kinnikuman/UM, not much. But wrestling itself is actually pretty huge in Japan, thus why AN has had a wrestling competition in it's schedule for a few years.
Also, Jushin Liger's character/costume/ring name is actually based off of an anime from 1989. As the anime hero changed, his in-ring persona did as well; he even played the hero in a Live-Action Movie and uses the anime opening for his theme music.
LORDY I poofed again! D8<
I Gotta stop doing that!!
I'm attending AN and will be cosplaying FINISHED killer (NOT CHICKEN MASK KILLER XD)
MAN, I'm so excited about OP shoot this year! I'm currently working on other costumes for my up-coming con this weekend.
AN is going to be GREAT, YO! I have a hand full of cosplays planed 8'D

I saw you on Cosplay.com! I'm really glad to have a Killer going! The costume looks great so far. The Photoshoot's going to be the bomb!
Too poor to go this year lol. Maybe next year.
Aw that sucks, hope you can next year then!
ok, i decided I'm doing adrian andrews from phoenix wright, for sure. i promiced my friend she could see that one, cause i made her give me the shirt. though, it might be fun to hook up with the op people here in toronto. i may have to pull out my chopper costume. gotta fix the leg things though. I don't like saftey pinning them to the shorts. charli, did a good job sewing them for me, but i wasn't there to check the size.
Finished part 2 of my sewing class this weekend.
The project: pants. Now THIS is relevant to my interests. >D
They're simple elasticized ones, and they're a tad large, but they look like pants, and I can wear them as pants. And I know once I'm not rushed by the timeline, my actual costume pants will bee 100% better. Once I learn about shirts in 2 weeks (and get a table to put a sewing machine on), it'll be time to get to work on the clothes…
In the meantime, I get a 4-day weekend next week (thank you Family Day!), which will be highly dedicated to all things Checkmate!cosplay, including:
