Out of the Blue

Thu Jun 11, 2009, 8:41 AM
  • Mood: Lmao
  • Listening to: Underworld soundtrack (the first one)
  • Watching: Weeds
  • Drinking: Dr. Pepper
I was watching videos from anime conventions that people had posted on youtube because I discovered that one guy does the English dubs for like four or five of my all time favorite anime characters and I was curious. :XD: I also looked up the guy who does Alucard from Hellsing. And...while I was watching these videos, a few questions popped into my head. Random questions that I'm hoping pop into anyone's head who witnesses an anime con for the first time.

For instance, the fans ask the actors to do the voices of the characters they play, completely understandable of course, that's not what I'm curious about. I'd like to know why the fans then squeal and scream so that it's impossible to hear the voice actor they just asked to speak. :shrug: I'm also curious as to how it feels to be able to say one line in a different voice and know, without a doubt, that a room full of people just creamed their pants. :rofl: I want that kinda power! :O

And is it customary for the FMA fans to ask the voice actors to propose to each other as the characters and/or say that Roy Mustang is dead sexy in a mini-skirt? :O

Oh yeah, and I'm actually wanting to go to an anime con sooner or later, it looks like a blast :XD: But I've never been to one, so I'd love any tips or pointers or whatever that any experienced people have ;) Come on! Help out the anime con virgin here! :lol: I was also curious if anyone knows any good female red-headed anime characters I could possibly cosplay as (just in case I want to :XD:) I'm down to Rongiku or Orihime from Bleach who both have boobs bigger than my head, or Renji from Bleach, who is a guy, has what appears to be an impossible hairstyle, and tattoos, not to mention a whole lot of muscle and three or four extra feet height on me. So...I'm open to suggestions ;)

Anime Crossroads is at the Indianapolis Marriott East November 20-22. Vic Mignogna (or however you spell his last name) the VA of Edward Elric so far is one of two guests that will be there.


I'm going...just gotta remember to register by the 30th of this month so i can get my badge ten dollar cheaper than at the door--from the middle of october to the day of the convention, a 3-day badge will be $45.

haha Ill have to see if I can think of any characters; but you should know by know that if you really wanted to do Orihime the whole boob size things can be fixed in a non permanent way, same goes for the muscles and height for Renji...though it would be considerably harder. but yeah. Just thought id mention it.

lmao I go to a con every year and meet a bunch of awesome VA's each time too XD lol - Like Vic! I saw him this year and he was SO funny and SO nice XD haha he also plays a bunch of awesome characters - one of which, being Ikkaku from Bleach >D lmao Other people he plays being: Ed from FMA, Dark from D.N.Angel, Fai from Tsubasa, Broly(sp?) from...one of the Dragonball series XD lol and Tamaki from Ouranhighschool host club XD

haha and yes, I would love that kind of power too XD lol and if bugs me to try and hear them say something - but you can't because everyone is screaming too much XD lmao

haha that happened to Vic at AN this year - he was trying to get everyone's attention, so he stood on a chair and yelled (in the perfect ED voice, lol) to be quiet and to have his attention up at him......and everyone just screamed more XD lmao and poor Vic just rolled his eyes and laughed because it back-fired on him, lol

lmao oh geez, I've heard that stuff all over youtube XD poor Vic - he hates doing it too D8 but he does it anyways for his fans XD lol and Travis gets harrassed a lot too - it's because of a line that Roy says in one of the episodes about how he wants all his female comrades in mini skirts and that fact that all the stupid yaoi fans like to part Ed and roy up (which both Va's hate, I might add XD ) therefore, the roy being dead sexy in a mini skirt came to be lol XD

and yes, it's quite common for fans to ask the VA's to say things they never say in the show, but they WANT to hear them say XD lol and being the voice actor - you have the power to do that haha

lmao and the advice I'll give you for a con - prepare for a LOT of insanity and a lot of CRAZY cosplays D8 most of them are awesome, some of them are not...........and some of them are ACTUALLY guys, dressed like women....which CAN be funny ...and quite scary at the same time XD lmao

I always cosplay as guys, so picking a female character is a bit harder...hmmm... but how about...:

Ranma's female form, from Ranma 1/2 (here:~~~>[link])
Either of the twins, Risa or Riku from D.N.Angel, (here:~~~>[link] or Daisuke, who's the boy in the back XD lol - they aso wear different clothes, btw)
Rita from Tales of Vesperia (here:~~~> [link] her hair is kind of a brown-ish red though D8 )
Hikaru from Magic knight rayearth (Here:~~~> [link] )
Kalan from Code Geass (Here:~~> [link] )
Satella from Chrono crusade (here:~~~>[link] )
Lunamaria from Gundam seed destiny (here:~~~>[link])

...and I'm now drawing a blank of red headed girls D8 lol

And Here as some guys with red hair if no female character seem to work:

Zelo from Tales of Symphonia ( lol Xd he could also be passed off AS a girl, lmao - here:~~~>[link] )
Kratos from Tales of symphonia(here:~~~> [link] )
Richter from Tales of symphonia 2 (here:~~~>[link] )
Luke and/or Ache from Tales of the abyss(Here:~~~> [link] )
Lavi from D.Gray man (Here:~~~>[link] )
Cross from D.Gray man (Here:~~~>[link] )
Kurama from Yu Yu hakusho (Who could also pass from a girl XD lol , here:~~~> [link] )
Kenshin from Ruroni Kenshin (here:~~~>[link] )

lol and that's all I can think of right now, I hope that helps a bit XD lol

and most cosplays I've seen don't match up hair, height, etc perfectly, but it's kinda cool when they do XD lol

I also agree with Renji, Orihime and Rangiku as some idea's/options for cosplaying as well 8D they would make awesome choices :dance: lol

yay cosplaying! XD haha :dance:

lol this reminds me....I still have to post my Anime North journal with pictures and stuff from the con I just got back from XD lol *FAILS!*

Next time shit goes down, wear stilts!! This way you won't go down with it, and you can walk all over it afterwards.
