Meeting DB actors at Sakuracon and cosplay

Post by Super Sonic » Wed Apr 27, 2011 10:32 pm

A couple of months ago I started a thread about DB English actors at Sakuracon. Now that the convention is over, I thought I'd let you guys know how it went. I'm not sure if I saw anyone from this board there, but had fun.

Image

Cynthia Cranz (Chi-Chi) was very sweet and friendly. She said she liked my Tuxedo Mask costume and it was funny when at her panel with Wendy Powell when she was talking to her as Chi-Chi to stop yelling, (Ms. Powell was doing Miss Merry Christmas) as her son needed to study. I didn't get a chance to get an autograph of my A Moment's Peace dvd, but it was ok. She also has a cute Southern accent.

Image

This Frieza at the Funimation booth was awesome.

Image

As was this Krillin

Image

And the Ginyu Force was a sight to see, even though missing a member.

Image

Got to meet another Mr. Satan

Image

Saw someone do Gotenks for the first time ever.

Image

Before taking this pic, Chi-Chi gave Goku a talking to that made him nervous.

Image

Did get a shot with Goku and Nappa though.

Image

As well as my son-in-law

Image

And Roshi

Image

And found the missing Ginyu

Image

Lunch was pretty cool too.

Image

Saw the happy family

Image

And three stages of Bulma

Image

My buddies did Zarbon and Dodoria

And while not really DB-related, putting because they're cool:

Image

I also met the voice of Usagi Tsukino

Image

And Rick Hunter

Image

And Asuka and Leo

Super Sonic, you are the man! Thanks for all the photos. I havn't realized how much cosplay has improved since I last saw anything. I've never been to a convention, but I'm most likely going to Otakon this year. So here's hoping I'll get to meet as many cool people as you have!

P.S. I wonder how often the SSJ teen Gohan got mistaken for Cloud. It made me double take when I first saw the picture lol. My favorite has to be Gotenks. The entire outfit looks perfect!

Edit: Forgot about the Ginyu Force in suits! I don't care why. All I know is that that's awesome!!!

Aw... I didn't see you there. :(

Though, I did talk to the girl who was dressed as Lunch while waiting for a friend to buy a wig for his Nozomu Itoshiki costume. ^.^

I was also dressed as Kenshin and Balrog. Here are my other pics linkdude, so you may or may not be in one of them:

Yeah I know, though I haven't heard those voices of hers yet. (Not that far in OP anime and only saw EVA on tv). Though at the guest reception there was a girl there dressed as Boa Hancock and when Ms. Mitsuishi saw her she was surprised and said, "Boa Hancock!" The Boa Hancock then pointed her hands toward her in the Love Love Beam pose. I didn't see how Ms. Misuishi reacted though.

Woah, what's up with all the hair this year? It all looks so natural! :O

I always expect the hair to look like this:
