Now, the KS cast playing BF3, on the other hand...

Misha: Hey Lilly~!
Lilly, in tank: ..huh?
Misha: C-4 yourself!
Lilly: ...what.
Tank explodes
Misha: For the Student Council, wahahaha~!

One day I'll put more than 15 minutes of work into an avatar. One day.

Skinny rin is sorta cute.

BUT, the convention that I went to last time, only saw Rin and just for one day. It's fairly small even for an Los angeles convention but I'm pretty sure there will be others at AX in july. I might even go as leaf/fundoshi kenji or misha. Been working on my Okabe laugh and I think it would fit fairly well.

The way I see cosplaying is that, tryhards look ridiculous because, obviously, they are trying way too hard and they aren't creative with their characters, not to mention how much money they spend on their shit just to show off for a weekend or two. I went as Quote from cave story, built myself a giant sword with duct tape and cardboard, made antennae ears, used a mp9 as the smg, wore a knee and elbow pad, and had a blast prepping. Not saying bad costumes are the best but it's all about how much fun you had making your costume and how much fun you had while wearing your costume.

Man, I would cosplay as Kenji because he's super funny as hell but there's a few problems:

>I need to drop like 100 pounds and even if I did, I would have a heavier build
> Too tall
>I'm black

Those things above shouldn't matter in cosplay if you're havin' fun and kickin' it in a conventon but weeaboos and elitist douchebags be makin' like it does and I don't wanna go off on somebody in public over a costume and ruin a free two or three day weekend.

Dude, there was a boxers and helmet only protoman who's black (I think it's the dude that does the oiled up pokemon too, haven't seen it, but my friend recognized him). The whole group of almost naked megaman peeps, no one messed with. I think you'll be fine.

She's either way too easy or too hard to replicate. Absolute territory stockings and maybe a padding of cardboard underneath or real prosthetics.

Uhg, you people are terrible.

Those cosplayers look like they had a lot of fun, and I was tickled pink to see them for the first time.
Future cosplayers, good luck! I hope I can catch some at a con and thank them for being such enthusiastic fans!

I can just imagine Misha running around with defibs screaming "Wahahaha~!" and reviving everyone. The other team would be too dumbstruck to shoot at her :lol:

I'd like to see a decent KS presence at cons, but since I'm a poor college student I'm only really able to attend smaller ones in my area, which means I probably won't end up seeing much KS fandom anytime soon.

Too late. I don't remember where, but I think it was even a thread on this forum.
Usually I can understand cosplyaers showing their affection for something by dressing up as characters from the show/VN/etc., but somehow it makes me uneasy when people start cosplaying as KS characters...
I've seen the same thing. Usually it turns out like this:

They look awful, and they make the game look awful too.

I've become extremely defensive of the game and the characters, not only because of what it's taught me as a person, but I believe it deserves the upmost respect. And when people run around looking like this, "advertising" the game, it kinda pisses me off.

Don't know about you, but i feel really only Japanese can pull of some anime characters.....maybe if we had Japanese girls cosplaying...as KS lol


I don't mind people show off their love for KS in that way...just if its bad its bad XD
Hanako....can't stop thinking about her.....

I'd like to see a good Emi cosplay. Extra points for lemon perfume. :twisted:

Today, I saw a great green jeans that resembled the pants from the male Yamaku uniform and still looked pretty cool. I was tempted to buy one to turn my swag on and get some hot cripple girls. Damn, I should have bought one!

The pants wouldn't have worked. We all know it's the sweatervest. Bitches dig sweatervests.

I'm about 6'1'' or 6'2'', about 130 pounds, and in pretty good shape.
You skinny barstard. 6' - 6'1" and carrying two bills. If you carved every ounce of fat off of me I MIGHT get down to 190 or 185. I couldn't pull off anyone, not tall enough for Jigoro.
The only difference between theory and reality is that in theory there is no difference, but in reality there is.
