Cosfest VII, 2008

I gave Day 1 a pass as I was too lazy to travel an hour just to snap photos. That, and I was also thinking that there wouldn’t be much on Day 1. After seeing coverage of Day 1 on other blogs, I think I’ve not missed out much. Day 2 seems to be much better.


This Haruhi cosplayer is cute ^^

Unlike other posts that feature complete coverage of all cosplayers at the event, I’ll only be posting the cosplayers whom I really liked. After all, there’s no point in doing what the rest are. There will be more shots of certain cosplayers, so the more images of the same cosplayer you see, the better I like them. No Bleach, Naruto or D.gray-man characters though =X


Sisterly Love


The headpiece’s cool


Paper plane!


Kakkou is Kakkoii


I think my nose just bled


Persona 3 group shot. A short mention about them later


I think my camera just got diagnosed with diabetes


Man, I wished they had Hiruma too


I sense Yandere vibes


I love Mushiuta, so I just had to take a picture of the duo

Tayaki tastes great deshou?


My coffee no longer needs any sugar

Clones that arrived from another space fold


Dynamites rock


Alto’s going to be mad if he finds out


I AM GUNDAM!!!


Erm… I’m running out of witty comments already

Besides the photos I took while randomly wandering around, I did a brief photoshoot with the Persona 3 team too. I was a little nervous that I’d screw up.

I shall not be covering this, but leaving this to Sentinel011 and Umehiko of The Bonkurasu Brigade instead. The photoshoot was quite fun, and I’m looking forward to possible future opportunities, if any.

Cosfest 2008 ended with a mass cosplayer dance on the stage, followed by them training now the stage and into the crowd. It was quite chaotic since everyone was running wild, but that added to the fun of the last few minutes of the event.

Overall, it was great fun, and I learned a little bit more about my camera too. I need to keep practising to snap better shots.

This will probably be my last local cosplay event for the year. Come EOY, I’ll probably be in Cambodia buying toilets against my will while the rest of you are gleefully snapping cosplay shots. Sucks to be me.

For those who wish to obtain the full-sized 10 megapixels images, feel free to contact me.

P.S. So, anyone knows who my favourite cosplayer was?

    Unfortunately P-Meister got a poor shot of that Haruhi cosplayer. She does have the spunk in portraying Haruhi so it was a pity we could not provide a good enough picture to bring out that charm.

  2. 2 P-Meister

    Ah, me too! type 2 diabetes! This is the reason people worship Haruhi.

    I’ve already died from blood-loss due to too much sweetness and moeness from that over-kawaii Haruhi. This is my spirit typing at the moment. Quick join me across the river!

    The Sojourner > That Haruhi owns my DSLR.

    P-Meister, Fariz Asuka, Hirito, Sakurazaki > My camera needs new kidneys.

    Baka-Raptor > Yeah, I’m pretty surprised too, since Eyeshield 21’s shonen too.

    Panther, kozta-boom > Fact.

    Ez > You sure did.

    gordon > Fine then, be that way!

    tj han > I’m using a Sony A200. And I’m still a long way from taking good photos.

    WTF YOUR PHOTO HAX, MINE IS BULLSHIT.

    Also, I missed CaramellDansen?

    /wrists.

    Glad to see improvement in your camera-fu. Sony has good colour colour reproduction and image stabilization. The weather was perfect too.

    On another note, I saw you a couple of times but didn’t have the courage to say “Hi”. You eyeballed me on those occasions too. FYI, I was the tall guy in all black + SQ5 headphones + red keffiyeh. So I’m dropping by to say “Hi!” right now. Better late than never. :P

  16. 16 double

    C.I > Emo kid. Lawl

    MrMayat > So that was you! I was looking at you because you had the same headphones as me. Next time, just come up and say hi. It’s not like I’d kill you or anything, lol.

  17. 17 Shin

    I am pleased that you did not skimp on the Ranka Lee shots (◕ ◡ ◕)

  18. 18 P-Meister

    nothing beats seeing that haruhi running on the train in real life. pure hawtness. something the camera cannot capture. =P

  19. 19 Kippei

    had a hard time chasing haruhi around >:|

  20. 20 hazy

    Um, was Haruhi your favorite? xDD ;P She was pretty spot on with the Haruhi poses, I think.

    That Frankenstein guy from Soul Eater and the Eyeshield 21 renditions were nice too. Good job with the photos! They turned out well. =)

  21. 21 Sakagami

    I think I’m in love. <3 (Still healthy, though)
    Was it just my imagination, or was she cosplaying as another one of those tons of Lenalee on Day 1? If she was, I think I may have a knack for spotting diabetes-inducing girls.

    I… completely missed that Kagami dakimakura, smack that. =(

  22. 22 haruhi

    yay! i see p (: thanks a lot! haha but the last one’s unglam!*cries* anyways, yes i was one of the lenalee(S). but i was a bad one :(

  23. 23 haruhi

    *pics

  24. 24 double

    Shin > Of course! Why would I?

    P-Meister, Kippei > The train was all over the place. I didn’t know where to begin the search.

    hazy > Bingo!

    Sakagami > Drats, I passed on Day 1.

    haruhi > You’re cute in the last image too, lol. Anyway, after Sunday, you’ve got a really huge fan base now. Look at all the comments flooding in!

    Oh, and if you want the full resolution images, do feel free to ask ^^

  25. 25 Mizunaga

    I like Fuyuhotaru! How come I never saw her in other blogs? D:

  26. 26 Sakagami

    Ah, I want the full resolution image for the first picture! *Pleads*

    @ haruhi: I wish to take another picture with you again, if possible. My friend has horrible photographing skills, it seems :( (P.S. Can I have your contact number :S)

  27. 27 Noxifier

    Yes I totally agree with Sakagami, he totally made that photo look bad -.-
    @haruhi: And yes if there’s another chance I would like another photo shoot with you :D
