Cosplaying
I always thought
cosplaying looked like fun, but I've only done it once last May (2009).
I changed who I was going to cosplay as about five different times.
Originally I was going to go as Sasuke from Naruto (I don't like Naruto
anymore, and I never liked the character of Sasuke.). Then, I changed
and decided I wanted to go as Zexion from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of
Memories. In the end, that didn't seem like a good idea. I finally
decided I should go as someone from the Prince of Tennis. First, I was
thinking Eiji because he's awesome and I would get to yell "Kikumaru
Beam" and end some of my sentences with "nya". I decided against it and
then though of Shuichi from Gravitation. I didn't like that idea, so I
went back to Tenipuri. I had finally decided on Kamio, but it the end
didn't have enough time to make his outfit (my sister was going to go
as Shinji by force). About a month before my anime convention, I
thought of going as Haruhi from Ouran High School Host Club (with my
sister as Tamaki). In the end, about three nights before I would leave
for the convention, I bought a long sleeved, white shirt, a pair of
light blue jeans, and black temporary hair dye (that is finally almost
out of my hair). Yes, I wanted so badly to cosplay that I went as L
from Death Note. I was hugged randomly and given a CD. Somehow, this
made me happy.
Anyways, that's my story about my first
time cosplaying. I was disappointed that I didn't go as someone from
the Prince of Tennis seeming that it is my favorite manga, anime, and
musical. Oh well. This year, I'll for sure goes as Kamio Akira!
Have you ever cosplayed before?
If you've ever cosplayed as someone from the Prince of Tennis, I
would love to see the pictures (or pictures you've taken of PoT cosplayers)! For anyone interested in sharing their
PoT cosplaying pictures with the website, please contact me. Go to the
contact page and send me a message. Sadly, I have no pictures of my
cosplaying (because I failed that badly my first time), but I will
share the pictures and videos from the Prince of Tennis panel I went to
last year at the anime convention I go to.
