Nice! Better selection of costumes than yesterday's, though I still don't recognize half the characters (I find that reassuring, somehow).

Also, was that one guy really cosplaying as Jesus? I mean, I suppose what with Saint Young Men it counts, but it still seems a little... odd.

You don't recognize half? Better than me. I didn't recognize about 9/10ths. But then again, I'm not much of an anime or video game fan.

I was kind of clicking through quickly until I caught the Dhalsim. Stopped me right in my tracks-- absolutely awesome. He really BECAME that character.

I recognized most of the characters. Does that make me an uber nerd? Razz

I really don't get the whole "cosplaying as Jesus" thing. I seem to see at least one of those pics from every major con, and it really baffles me. It's almost like a bizzare non-sequiter or something.

Married With Children. Specifically, it's a group founded and led by Al Bundy. Those t-shirts were their... uniform, for lack of a better term.

Not the most fitting thing at an anime convention, but then neither's the Indiana Jones cosplay. (Or most of the video game cosplay, if you ask me, but I've long since given up fighting that battle.)

With Morning Musume there, I expected more JPOP costumes. Maybe people thought they were just street outfits and didn't think to take their pictures?

Don't think I ever saw that episode. Does make sense for the character, though. Al Bundy acolytes at Anime Expo...

Video games,Anime and Manga.It's all part of the same Otaku fandom.At least it ain't old guys in Sailor scout uniforms anymore.

Number #34 is Villeta and Ohgi from Code Geass. Not too bad looking cosplay either.

Photo 28 is me! Although a fairly unflattering picture. But I'm not Ivy, I'm a Night Elf Druid! Very Happy

I did get Ivy a few times, though. The ears don't give it away?!

Minor correction, her name is Viletta. I misspelled it. Razz I'll have to try to ID others after I wake up.

The girl in the center of 3 is Meilin from Cardcaptor Sakura (adorable, by the way).

I think only one of the people in 19 is from Code Geass, and the character is Kallen. I don't recognize the character on the right, but it looks incredible, so if someone knows who it is, say so. Or if it's original design...

31 has Kurogane from Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle on the left, and someone from Code Geass.

43 is a Pokemon, Jirachi, and 44 is Sango from Inuyasha.
