ROSARIO + VAMPIRE REVIEW

Ok so while I was sick during spring break I watched most of Rosario + Vampire thanks to my wonderful little sister who pretty much became obsessed with watching it. It was very entertaining.  One thing I did forget to mention in the Vlog was that there are a lot of panty shots in this series.  I'm not even joking its like every 30 seconds we see a panty shot!  This is sure to satisfy the perverts who love watching the cute anime girls on screen. And warning these panty shots are from various angles. 
Overall the story of Rosario + Vampire is enjoyably entertaining, its a funny harem comedy where many strange girls fight over a very average normal boy that for some reason is super lucky and has a fan base of girls.

Anyway I give this series a 3 out of 5 stars mainly because some of the episodes did not make sense but it was still an enjoyable anime.

Me and Judson Laipply

So Judson Laipply came to Texas and he was great! Here is some video I took of the experience check it out. It doesn't really have much to do with anime but it Pleases me ;-)
This truly was a really great experience for all the TAMU-C students in Texas who were able to attend this entertaining and fun night.   Judson Laipply said he loves his job for two reasons, he's there to make you laugh and he's there to make you think!
Great times, check out the video below! 

COSPLAY TIPS!

[COSPLAY Defined:  Abbreviation of Costume Play, where fans of anime, games, and well known characters dress up as the character of their choosing.]

Hey guys so if you are planning to cosplay for the big summer conventions then you are probably getting your cosplay ready or starting to about this time.  Yes sometimes it takes weeks upon weeks to get that cosplay just right, depending on how hardcore you want to be.
OR if you are new to cosplay and you are not sure about it here are some tips along with some pictures from my collection of cosplayers taken at A-KON  in Dallas, Texas.

Ghost in Shell Cosplay

TIP #1: Be prepared to play the part.   If you want to go all out make sure you are prepared to look, act, and pose like your character.  For example this Ghost in Shell cosplayer is a definitive A+ she looks the part, has a body for the part, and includes an accessory.   If you are going to cosplay a character who shows some skin, you're gonna have to show some skin so if you are shy I suggest you cosplay someone that wears a fur coat or something...

Trigun

Howls Moving Castle

TIP #2: Group Cosplay gets the most attention.  Ok so if you definitively want to be noticed at a convention you want to get a group of at least 3 to be noticed.  Yes those extremely awesome cosplayers may get noticed all alone but if there are 3 super awesome cosplayers versus just 1, that's 3 times more likely that you will get noticed and taken a picture of.

Naruto Cosplay: Kakashi Sensei

TIP #3: Accessorize!  Ok so just having the outfit alone is great, but to add more excitement to it add some accessories!  A plush of a character companion, a weapon, or a book they carry! It really adds a lot to the personality of your cosplay and a lot of recognition when you carry extra items that they would carry in the anime.

Creepy anime face masks

TIP #4: Avoid the creepy anime masks.  They are just flat out creepy and give an alien like quality to your cosplay.  You may think its cute but most people would much rather prefer to see someone with their own natural face on a costume than a fake one, unless of course they are cosplaying a furry then that's the only exception I say to wearing a mask, or if your character actually wears a mask like Ichigo in Bleach.  But just avoid the creepy anime face masks, they are more creepy than they are cool.

Labyrinth Cosplay: The Goblin King Jareth

Fullmetal Alchemist Cosplay: Major Armstrong

TIP #5: The hair matters!  Whoever said that as long as you got the costume the hair is minimal...lied!  If you need a wig use a wig, but make sure its a good quality wig not a cheap Halloween $2 wig.  My personal  wigs have cost me around $50 give or take and they are amazing.  If you want to try your own hair for the cosplay make sure you can do the do. If you are willing to shave your head like this Alex Louis Armstrong cosplayer, go for it the better your cosplay will be, or you can use a nice awesome wig like this Jareth cosplayer above also.  But seriously do your hair when cosplaying!

Inuyasha group cosplayers

TIP #6: LOSE THE GLASSES! Ok guys eye care technology is way awesome now, there are ways to lose the glasses for a day of cosplaying, there's contacts, lasik surgery, or just going blind for the day, or heck better yet, take the glasses off when someone is taking your picture!!!   Unless your character wears glasses there is no need to lose the authenticity of your character by keeping them on if you are trying to be authentic with your cosplay. 

So there you have it, some tips on doing great cosplay.  Just some basics ones of course. I don't generally make cosplay I have it ordered so I can't really say on how to actually make a cosplay, just some tips on things you should or shouldn't do while you are playing the part. 

Happy Cosplaying Everyone!

Expanding my limits.

Ok so today i was looking into some website creators. I looked through a bunch of Word Press videos on how to make them and stuff and then I did some research for Weebly and Wix. I looked up some stuff about Wix and I went ahead and created an account for Wix.com. I am not sure how to do it yet but I uploaded some graphics and stuff to Wix and now I am lost and I don't know where they went. I will keep trying to figure it out because Wix is really pretty.

Mini A-Kon V video!

Hey everyone so I put together this great video of some footage I took at Mini A-Kon, I pretty much was there for the whole thing, since the doors were shut till they started cleaning at the very end. So yea I put together a few clips of some happening places over at the Mini A-Kon V in Denton, TX. I don't know how I should feel for the public library though, it was pretty messy when everyone left and over 1,200 people were there.  But i do know for sure, everyone that was there sure did love it! Enjoy!

TODAY! Mini A-KON V! Denton, TX! PICTURES!

Mini A-Kon at the Denton Public Library was packed! I was amazed at the number of people that showed up, I was seriously only expecting a few hundred people to be at this thing and when I arrived almost 200 people had already been waiting there! By the end of the mini convention over 1,200 people had checked in!!!  That's a lot of people in one day for a small public library!   Of course it was crowded and many people were there with their cosplay! here are some pictures from Mini A-Kon V, February 18th, 2012.  Check back to this site because I'll be uploading some video soon!!! ^_^
