"Cosplay in America" @ Otakon 2011

[AyaV18]

I love the Captain Jack Sparrow's. Those people really get into the character so well and they look and sound like the real thing. There was a few at Ohayocon this year and I really thought it was the real thing. xD Silly yes. He looked so legit though. I'm going to Otakon this year. It's going to be my first Convention outside of Ohio so I'm so excited! I can't wait to meet everyone and get lot's of pictures.

[TsuerisunOngaku]

That Jasmine You cosplayer! WOW!

[DaStayPuftFluff]

ghostbusters were awesome

[AquaFrostWolf]

Pretty sure that Jack Sparrow was amazing.. only thing is that he had too many gold teeth... but he sounded like Johnny Depp! :o

[djspeeddemon]

@AquaFrostWolf Actually, it's the exact amount of gold and silver teeth on the same mouth chart as Johnny Depp. I'm a perfectionist. :)

[AquaFrostWolf]

@djspeeddemon Bahaha well I must say, that is pretty impressive! Very good! XD Definitely The best Jack cosplayer ever I think. XD Awesome job :)

[thesmexyzero]

[MelodicMuffin]

I've actually been watching some as I'm working on part of a cosplay, they're pretty motivating :}

[tobyjunconoby]

At 5:26 I met that Sephiroth! me and that Sephiroth were on the 2nd floor from Saturday and I thought we could have pic clashing my Lightsaber(I was being Darth Vader there and was the last one) with her long freaking sword! I hugged her after that! It was awesome I can't wait next year! ^_^

[pumpkinpieeatyoface]

[XalonewaitingKairiX]

LMAO at the end! x'D I can't believe he didn't even notice you haha. Did he?

Thats an awesome Jack btw! o.o'' I didn't even see him(probably because I only went Friday), but I saw another Jack Sparrow.

As for some cosplayers, I think I also saw that Alucard, Ikkaku, Sephiroth, and Ciel at 9:40 and took pics of em. I think I also saw that Claude and Alois around too.

Anyways, awesome vid! I'll look forward to Otakon 2012 if you go next year!-hoping you do- I'd love to meet you! D<

[ashenmaiden]

4:46 THAT'S MY FRIEND, SHE'S TALKING ABOUT ME! :D

[luchia21100]

i want to go to the next otakon nd i already have enough money or at least as much money as the websitw says for pre registering but am i supposed to buy a pass to be able to go to panels cause i wanna go so i can see j michael tatum's panel nd i guess now i wanna check out the dealers room (even though i have no idea what that is)

[DarkDemonSora]

@luchia21100 The dealers room is the place where Dealers sell anime merch, like figures wallscrolls, anythin you can think of really. And once you pay for the pass for Otakon you have free range to do any of the panels availible :) I dont know about concerts since I didnt go to any this year but regardless. Hope that helped.

[nintendork9876]

13:20 Sengoku basara cosplayers??? I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!!

And that Motochika is HOT!!!

[failonmaas]

anime punch(armageddicon) has specialty drinks for the con

[photographybanzai]

Nice video.  I like the interview format.

[OtakuUnited2010]

I met Captin' Jack and he gave me his card but I lost it T^T soo sad! I was Wonder woman though!

[user8624]

Thumbs up for snake in a box XD

[Bluey113]

Your coming to San Antonio!? Mann, I wish someone is willing to take me. :L

[Android17Cosplay]

Any chance of a part 2 to see more of the people you interviewed?

[thelastassassin]

@jelena1023 Baltimore Convention Center in the inner harbor and I think you have to get week passes. If you pre-registered they are $60.

That's me and my friend (the super SM cosplayer in the video at 5:17 or so)

[munkoteter]

[SasoriXelshay]

Also, That Dave. Glad he put the story behind homestuck cosplayers out there!

[241cupcakelover]

aww. boo. u videotaped and u didnt put me in the video. i was the misty with the glasses with the ash that proposed to u. :'(

[Feiself]

its me! XD im at 14:58. thank you so much for putting this up! im subscribing and looking at everything now. ive heard of cosplay in america before but now im looking more into it. thanks alot :)

[flacaloca]

you know.... I'd like to hear the opinion of people who DONT cosplay about cosplayers. We usually think of the character/series, bringing it to life, becoming something else for a day, having fun making it, etc.. but I think ppl who don't cosplay are just looking for the wow factor? dunno.

[anime1275]

i saw me xD 

[ashe2kawaii]

i love that jack sparrow, its amazing that he stayed in character to

[djspeeddemon]
