With all of the Sakura Taisen (Sakura Wars) guests at this year's ACen, it's good to see all the cosplayers from the series.
I was lucky enough to catch Maya Okamoto (the voice actress of Orihime Soletta) wandering around the convention. So of course I asked for a photo. :D Maya Okamoto with an Orihime cosplayer* Peorth, Maya Okamoto and Zack. Yah, random crossovers but who cares? I got a picture with Maya! :D
Kazuyoshi Katayama (director of The Big O), Hidenori Matsubara (character designer for AMG and Sakura Taisen) and Maya Okamoto. I'm afraid I don't know who the woman in front is. :( Again, they were just standing around in the hotel so I asked to get a picture of them. :) Getting photos with Kouhei Tanaka (song composer for Sakura Taisen anime and musicals).
Ohgami and Sumire Iris from the Sakura Taisen stage shows. Theatrical Sakura. Ooooh shiny! *
Ohgami Ichiro's battle uniform Two Ohgami Ichiros Orihime Soletta Sakura and Lionel of Usagichan.com Hehe, silly people. :)
Ohgami and Orihime. Ohgami dips Orihime! *

Sanzo from Saiyuki Double your Sanzo, double your demon killing fun! Haruko from FLCL. She actually had a real bass with her. :D Aww a cute cat girl.
The Wolf's Rain cosplay group! I caught the tail end of the Wolf's Rain group, but I did get a chance to get some silly Darcia photos. :) Yes, I know this is completely out of "character" but I thought it looked cool. :) Poor Yui, she was just trying to sit down and I kept telling her to not move so I could take a photo. Hey, when you're dressed like that you look cool no matter what you're doing. :) Too bad we couldn't convince her pose on the grand piano. ;-)
FILTH Kaoru Mana-inspired panda Uh oh, she's nibbling at the plants!
EGL (elegant gothic lolita) wedding dress. Very cool looking. :) Gekka no Yakusokyu Kozi (Jester)
Can you believe she was also our Ayane at the DOA Gathering? :D

This was the J-Rock group that was in the ACen masquerade. Their skit was very funny which included DDR music and the song "I'm too Sexy!" :) I believe they also said that they were sponsored by Dr Scholl's. How else do you wear platform shoes? :) And more J-Rock costumes around ACen
Vash the Stampede of Trigun Vash (Trigun) and Alucard of Hellsing A very well done Walter from Hellsing. He even has a monocle!
Seras Victora and Integral Hellsing working at one of the booths in the dealer room. Another very proper and serious Integral Hellsing Red Seras Victora Wait... I don't remember of Seras is able to go into the sunlight or not. ;-)
Alexander Anderson (Hellsing) with some really cool blades. Asuka Langley of Neon Genesis Evangelion Rei Ayanami in her plug suit Rei looking creepy in her school girl uniform.
Crimson Cat Shadow. She's just so crimson. I guess that's where the name came from. ;-) Rei and Crimson Cat Shadow are joining forces! Oh no! We're doomed! A NERV soldier. Very nice with all the shoulder holsters and accessories that don't quite show up in photos. :) Holy cow, she's soooo pink. I'm getting cavities just looking at her! XD
Paradise Kiss cosplayers! Wow, those costumes are just amazing! I never seen the manga before, but after looking at these costumes, I'm picking it up on my next manga run!
Angel from King of Fighters 2002 "May" Lee Jin Ju of KOF Angel and May back to back Oh well, it was bound to happen! Fight!
Kula Diamond of KOF. Very nice detail on the back. Wow, aren't K' and Diamond getting friendly? Iori Yagami of KOF
Sheik of Super Smash Brothers Melee Wait!? How did Angel and Sheik get into a fight!? Yay! RahXephon cosplay. You never see enough of them! :(
This is the Pokemon your parents never wanted you to see. Pimp Ash and his Poke-hos! Hehe, I find this highly funny. :) You gotta love Love Hina cosplay, all you need is a towel and a cute pair of slippers. :D Chun-Li of Street Fighter. She was very in the masquerade walkon, she did the jumping/giggling victory pose in the video game! :) It was very cute.
A very impressive Guilty Gear gathering. Johnny from Guilty Gear... who's the Studmaster now? From Gundam Wing
