Wonder Festival coverage continues with the cosplay. Went in armor Last time but found it difficult to take pictures so decided to go in plain civilian apparel.
The usual Gundam cosplayers were there but this time round it looks like they upgraded their creative skills – this RX78 in particular was rather cool indeed and seems to have much more maneuverability than their previous attempts.
Also including images of the halls so you can get a feel of what it was like to be there. Will be working on a feature to build event calendars so that you can time your trip to Japan to coincide with these events. The next event I'm due to go to is the Tokyo Anime Fair - see what it was like last year.
Also a quick thanks to bloggers who introduced my Wonfes coverage. Unique users for yesterday alone was about 16,000 generating over 60,000 page views. The top 3 referrers where Gunota Headlines, Japanator and Kotatsuga-san. Thank you all ^^

Whoa, you're right that RX78 is decent ^_^ Gouf girl is quite good too, but based on her getup she should have tried for an MSGirl look instead of the full works. And that Hazel is simply astounding, though it doesn't look very poseable...

Oh lala! Sexy cosplayers! The mecha cosplaying are really something too! And Danny I hope you got my link to the larger artwork XD I'm guessing your automated response may be turned off or something (or maybe my e-mail got blocked (LOL))

(ID #44952) Posted on 2007/03/01 06:06

I personally love to as a Gouf Custom. I love that girl's Gouf outfit.

WOW! That Rumble Roses cosplay at the start/ end is something else... :-P The Briarios one is good, and the girl in the purple leotard thing looks pretty cool. Nice kamen riders and gundam cozzies - are you gonna get one? Its more Japanese than Star Wars! Good coverage. Too bad you couldnt get any better pics of the bunny girl. Looks like she was surrounded by rabid, snap-happy otaku!

(ID #44965) Posted on 2007/03/01 08:53
gouf, optimus prime, rx78 and even acguy! i thought there would be more gundam figures, instead more gundam cosplayers! haha neways, it's way cool though. yup, luv that reiko... hmm i wonder it dat optimus prime can transform into a truck or something *lol*

The Rumble Rose cosplay is 燃え！オタク カルチャーshould return to its 燃え roots.

I think the girl Gouf is cute and the RX-78 looks cool. Is that a Abyss Gundam costume behind the RX-78? I had to laugh when I saw Freeza from DBZ.
(ID #44968) Posted on 2007/03/01 10:43
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHARF !!!!!!! !!!!! LOL !!!!! Sorry Andy, but it's too funny ! ^_^ Be careful, rabbits can be very dangerous, especially those who have a big carrot in their hands ;)) And thanx Danny for all the pictures of this WF !

This is the first time i think the Rx-78 cosplay had been making so good, compare to other mecha cosplay. & I had to admit that the AppleSeed that cosplay is look so alike in the anime.

I'm always surprised at the level of cosplay in Japan. The RX-78 and the Katamari cosplays are so awesome.

Cool costumes! If I had to vote, it would have to be between those mecha costumes and the person dressed up as Katamari! XD いい仮装だぞ、塊さん！ 体はちょっと大きいだけど、 色ならまるでゲームから飛んで出たみたいｗ 満１０点ｗ

The Gundum Cosplay is really tight. I also like everybody else like the Rumble Roses cosplay. Who is the girl thats dresses in black mecha gear suppose to be?
(ID #44983) Posted on 2007/03/01 18:57
i lurved the gundam cosplay. it must be hard to do though, because most of them are blocky are not easy to maneuver in. The Hazel unit was my fav. :)

I wish we have more cosplay in my area. I attended one, but that's about it. lol, freeza was there too ^^ I agree completely about the gundam costumes,they got more mobility now.

Gundam cosplay is total muvaf**king awesome danny thanks for the great coverage. ^^' but it would have been nice to see some of the guys go as Wing Zero Endless Waltz Custom Ive not seen anybody wear that costume. I suppose it would be pretty expensive after all the time & effort let alone cost & quality of materials that have to be used... more cosplay girls also would have been nice :) cheers danny

Thanks for all the great photos Danny. Gundams do first rate this year. Overall, I think from WF07 Winter was great. Hope it's just the beginning to lots of great cosplay for 2007.

U gotta hand it to the mech cosplayers, such great craftmen or craftwomen. the rumble rose are nice too.

"Life for you"... Yes, it certainly is for all true otakus. ^-^ The Gundam RX78 suits are a tad disappointing when you can see the trousers through... I smiled when I saw the RGM-0.79 costume. Now THAT's original. Then the Frieza one... Legends don't die, do they? I also noticed the Servbot/Kobun's head (Megaman/Rockman Legends). What's the fuss about that bug spray character with a tie and giant virus ball? I think I heard of it but forgot soon enough. Any details? I don't think you should give up your otaku side, it is a part of yourself, and we would lose a lot, just like not being able to have a glimpse of the Wonder Festival accompanied with crazy comments that only you can give.

And nice idea to have put Mirai discs, even if I like Laughing Man too...
(ID #45011) Posted on 2007/03/02 10:40
Wahahaha....some of them looks very funny & unpredicted XD This time there are lots of people doing Gundam cosplay compare to previous season XD
(ID #45014) Posted on 2007/03/02 13:25
I like the Rumble Roses girls! Hehehehehe!

Now if the optimus prime could transform that would be something
(ID #45173) Posted on 2007/03/07 05:50
