This kid made a great Luffie. He seemed amazed at the number of people who wanted his picture, but of the 58,395 Luffies I saw this weekend, he was the best.

I don't recognize them all, either, but I did think there were quite a few very good costumes. Here are some more:
(Yuna of FFX)
(Wario)
(FFVII's Vincent, Cloud, Tifa)
(Sango from InuYasha)
(Zelda's folks)

I definitely noticed a paradigm shift at the con this year. Gone were the legions of Sailor Scouts, replaced by something called "Narutards." I'm not sure that I approve of that term, but I'm not sure I don't find it funny, either. I did manage to find three scouts, though, and here they are:
I think that was Sailor Moon's real hair.
BTW, my friends and I are seriously considering Ohayocon next year.

You are too modest. Your costume was very good. Award winning, even.

Those pictures are fantastic, Desperado. Your costume was really, really, really great. That was probably the best Balmung cosplay I've ever seen.

There were a ton of Final Fantasy cosplayers there this year. Here's a cute Rinoa:
And the long awaited "Battle of the Eds" took place here:
And now to my personal favorites:
This young lady was quite a fox:
And who would have ever expected to see Triangle Head? Certainly not me:
Simply amazing.

Uh...wow. I NEVER would have expected to see someone cosplay Silent Hill. That triangle head is REALLY good...although very disturbing. Wow. Just...wow. Nice.
