    These are always pretty fun.

    I work as a waitress, and last night I had these two male customers who said they were both into anime. So I talked with them, and we somehow got to the talk of cosplay.

    One of the guys had apparently had only seen a few animes, which he tried to hide, while the other had seen a lot. The one who hadn't seen much was like, "Oh, you should cosplay from Bible Black next time!"

    To which his friend had given him a face similar to the one on the left and I busted out laughing, since it was obvious by the way he said it he had no idea what Bible Black was.

    He had no idea what was going on until his friend told him it was a lesbian porno with some "out there" sex scenes to say the least, to which he also replied with the Lloyd face.

    Not necessarily hilarious, but it reminded me never to talk like I know anything about a series I hadn't seen again.

    I'm sure you guys have some good ones!

    I would, if I had any epic ones. I get a lot of people wandering through my store looking for fabric for cosplay, but... haha, like Stendex.

    BUT

    I was doing the Jasdebi-forms with my friend once, and we were taking the bus into downtown, makeup and crazy outfits and all.

    These indian parents were all like DONTLOOKDONTLOOK and quietly panicking, but this pair of like 4-6 year old kids were all smiles and waving back at us.

    my friend was cosplaying as Santa Albel for a christmas meet-up once at a local mall

    and for those who don't know what albel's outfit looks like, it's a wrap skirt slit all the way up and a sleeveless top that exposes the stomach

    So anyways, the first thing that happened was the ladies at the security desk had to ask if she was wearing underwear with her outfit [which she was then asked not to prove -.-]

    and then a hoard of children ran up to her crying "Saaannttaaaa!!!!!" and the parents all had mortified looks on their faces XD

    Here's one that happened just yesterday. Erheiz and I were in LT doing a photoshoot for our SF costumes. it was just the two of us, our friend, and the photographer. For lunch we went to subway then headed to the car to get all the camera equipment and on the way this guy asks us. "hey is there a martial arts tournament going on?" it was plainly obvious he had no clue what Street Fighter was. So i told him, "Oh yea, there's a preliminary tournament going on, it was a few blocks up on 6th st. and Grand Ave." He nodded and said "is it still going on?" "Yeah it's going on for the next hour or so but it'll be over soon." So the guy turns to his wife and says "Oh hey honey we better go head over there." and went on their way.

    Later that day we found a poster for a martial arts tournament taking place in the nearby area and just laughed our asses off for a good couple minutes.

    Eh, not terribly funny, but . . .

    My friends and I were doing a photoshoot at a local park. One friend was dressed as a kind of casual Allen Walker, but she had been playing around with liquid latex, so her hand was all freaky and gross.

    During pictures, a family with really young children walked by. But as soon as the little kids saw my friend's arm, her mom glared and covered their eyes, then hurried away from us.

    Funny, as when ever we do photoshoots...we get others taking our pictures and really being interested in us. Maybe, you are in the wrong place for it. We had a server in a japanese resturant ask for a picture of our Ryuuk while we were there to eat. As long as you are mature abotu it, it is usually alright. Most utah people have had some exposure to theater and assume you are doing something for a play.

    Some friends and I needed to go to Walgreens during Fanime. I was cosplaying from Bible Black, and the shoes I was wearing completely tore into my feet. One of my friends offered to give me a piggy back ride to Walgreens, which I accepted.

    So we all to go Walgreens in cosplay. My ass is completely in view from my short skirt, but I didn't care; cosplay, hentai, y'know. So as we're on our way, we pass by this church with this family dressed in all black gathered about. Some have tissues in their hands, and others are -just- opening up the hearse that was parked along the street. As my friends and I came strutting down the sidewalk, everyone just stops and staaares.

    It was awesome. One of the family members even thanked us for the "entertaining sight".

    My very first con. I got my ugly mug all dolled up with bleach, glue and spray-on dye, and had fun.

    I was looking for my ride at the end of the day, and an L cosplayer passed me, did a double take, and cried "Oh my god! Can I hug you?"

    I replied, "Uh, maybe. Do I know you?"

    She replied, "No, it's just your hair is so cool!"

    How flattering. ^_^

    At Y-Con this year I went to Taco Bell with some friends to pick up some dinner. I had been Jacuzzi earlier in the day and I hadn't bothered to wash my copic-marker tattoo off my face. As we were waiting for our orders, a group of super-stereotypical ghetto kids shouts over to me, "Hey man, sweet tattoo!" To which I thank them. Then another shouts over, "Did it hurt when you got it?"

    It's not my story, but a friend was telling me about an anime con he went to once:

    There was this guy he was talking to about stuff when he noticed that he was wearing a shirt that said, "I <3 Futanari." My friend joked about it with the guy and they both laughed. Then the guy who wore the shirt told him that he had been approached by several people who basically all said, "Funanari? I've never heard of that anime. What is it about?" When he did tell them about it, most wished they'd hadn't asked...XD

    Well, we do have this one story.
    We had Riku and Axel up for a photoshoot in the mountains near bridal Veil falls. That place attracts a lot of tourists, but we thought during that time of year it would be alright. Turns out we were wrong. But we did it anyway.
    While we were shooting these two little kids ran up to us very excitedly. One little boy asked Axel," Are you from Kingdom heart:" Axel replied yes. The little boys eyes shot open wide and looked at Axel very closely. " I thought so"' he said," My step mom played your game. You were pretty weak though, she totally kick your Ass!!" and ran back to jpin his parents. Axel stood there stunned, not sure what to do and then riku and I burst into laughter. It was awesome!

    At a video game exhibition that came to town, a group of teenaged boys came up and were being really snarky to my friends and I. We mostly tried to ignore them, but they didn't leave.

    I was cosplaying Gunner Yuna and after a while of being irritated, I pulled my guns from my purse and just held them casually in my lap.
    The fags thought they were real. And they left us alone.

    At fanexpo one year my friend and I went to a harveys to eat before heading home, and it was filled with cosplayers including a table of the 4swords links. My friend and I had taken off some o our costumes and looked relatively normal by then but were still recognizably in cosplay.

    We buy our food and some really "goth" looking guys (the spiked hair, the studded bracelettes and all that crap) came up and asked "whats with all these people in weird clothes ? are you part of them!?" I explained it was just part of a convention but they looked weirded out . . . not something I would expect from people who dress against the norm lol

    I once cosplayed a character with bleach blonde hair, fishnet pantyhose, leather short-shorts and hooker boots as part of a group. Don't really remember the character, unfortunately. Anyway, after the con was done I just threw a large shirt over top and went to the bus stop.

    I got stopped on the way by a police officer who thought I was a prostitute. Fun, fun.

    Yeah, Aki-con.

    Lesse, epic cosplay stories. Ah yes! So my stepdad was trying to get me in touch with the daughter of a friend of his that also cosplays, and I manage to get an e-mail to her before I head off to one of the Suncoats anime festival things. I get there, and there's this fuckwin Naruto that's supposed to be the version of Naruto from the battle with Sasuke at the Valley of the End, tails and everything. I saw her about five months previous at Sakuracon, and we chatted for a bit.

    A little while later, she mentions she's making a giant hammer. it kinda clicks. I ask her what her dad's name is, she answers. We promptly start screaming and jumping up and down because she's the girl that my stepdad has been trying to get me to meet for like two weeks.

    I was young and spazzy. Forgive me if it's not epic enough.

    A lot of anime fans will refuse to admit they haven't seen something. While talking to anime fans, casually namedrop series that don't exist, like Cloudchaser Mizuru-Chan or Wai Wai Shinpopo Fighter. Hell, talk about Pure Lover Bizarre Jelly.

    Most will nod and laugh along and pretend they know what you're talking about, or say things like "Oh, yeah, that one... I saw a bit of it on Youtube... it was okay..."

    Depends on how convinced they are that it's real or not (aka how much of a douche they're being). Most of the time I end up saying I have to go "but go google it, it's really good".

    At a convention last year, my friends and I were cosplaying Matt, Mello and Near.

    There were two other girls dressed as Matt and Mello there, too, but they were kind of fail. Long, stringy hair that was sprayed red and short, dirty brown hair. They had half-assed everything and looked kind of bad, not to mention being 'in-character' for them meant screaming, chasing and yaoi-ing.

    Later in the night, Matt and I came downstairs to get a hot cocoa from the cafe and saw the girls hanging off our friend, who was L. As soon as he saw us, he jumped up and ran over to talk to us. The Matt got pissed off and yelled at him to come back, but my friend shrugged and replied, "She's a better Matt."

    When we left the cafe, we saw the fail-Matt crying in the fail-Mello's lap.

    This one time I was bored on a friday night at a con, all of my friends were doing other shit so I just trolled people. I put on my normal clothes, borrowed my roomie's naruto headband and wore it around my neck, and would go up to ANYONE in a costume.

    "Oh man! You're Goku, right? From Balls Dragon?"

    And when they tried to correct me, I just kept insisting they were Goku from Balls Dragon. People went ripshit at me.


    I wasn't a part of it, but some people I know did that making up an anime thing, but they took it to a whole new level. They made costumes from the fake show, but they were so interesting people actually asked them about it and went looking, of course the only thing that popped up on google was this shitty fansite THEY had made.

    "Mysteriously Vanishing Star" it was.

    Well, my Matt and I were being pretty patient with them. ^^; It's not like we were rubbing it in. But I guess L couldn't really handle them following and hanging off of him.

    I felt a little bad when we saw her crying, but the next day, she started following -me- around and started taunting and being really annoying. So I didn't feel as bad after that.

    A couple of years ago, me and my friend were cosplaying as blacksmiths from Ragnarok Online (2 males here, by the way) and everybody at the con thought we were hard gays. We laughed a lot and made jokes about it.

    Goddamn it, I'm a lesbian and even I don't get the straight-girl-fucking-other-straight-girl-dressed-as-bishie bullshit. It makes no sense! The MALE character is who you're into. Why get involved with a FEMALE cosplayer? unless you're both gay/bi and crossdressing and are into female drag, then it makes sense. But fandom lesbians make no sense. At all.

    Also, out in the middle of the bathroom? That's disgusting.

    It's because male cosplayers find them disgusting and obnoxious, so they settle for vagina instead.

    Like the OP, I'm a waitress.

    A group of kids (17-19 years old, I guess) came into my job a couple of weeks ago and one of them was dressed in some facsimile of a Dante coat from DMC1. The girls were dressed straight out of Hot Topic. I kept my mouth shut and the subject never came up, but I can't help wondering if they'll show up at Katsucon; I hope the Dante coat!guy comes up to me when I'm dressed as Dante. I'll be like "LOL I served you three weeks ago."

    Not exactly related, but another job story: about a year ago my coworker comes flying into the BOH and shouts "Holy shit Axel is sitting at table 93!" And so she was - along with five other cosplaying girls dressed from FMA and KH. None of their cosplays particularly stood out as amazing but it was amusing to see, especially since it was in December and thus utterly out of the con season.

    More like there's a disproportion of American guys who can accurately pull off the feminine-bishounen archetype when it comes to cosplay.

    And when you're feeling up your bestest fwend evah, there's no chance of the ev0l peen poking out and attacking you. Or something.

    One time, I was cosplaying Tyki Mikk (I'm told I did a very good job, but I still don't think it was perfect.) and there was a half-assed Tyki at the same convention. Thing is, I'm not so sure he actually was a "half-assed" Tyki, because every time I was near him, he looked all dejected and embarassed. It felt like he actually thought his costume was amazing. Also, I got most of the D. Gray-man fan attention, so that probably didn't help.
    Same type of thing happened at AWA with a different cosplay and a different guy, but instead of looking sad, the guy made weird angry faces when I walked past him.

    A girl cosplaying as Integra Hellsing was flirting (and but flirting I mean touching and grouping me) like crazy during a con, in front of her bf. She was kinda cute, so was her friend. I tried to be polite out of general respect for the bf. But, eventually I flirted back just as hard she she had been. (half as a joke half of frustration) She paniced not knowing what to do. Heh.

    I hate when that happens. A really great way to cheer people up when stuff like that occurs is to ask them for their picture. They feel so much better about their costume if someone cosplaying the same character, better, asks for their picture.
    The smile you usually get is priceless. :]

    Aah, I know what you mean by that one!

    During NDK, I shared an elevator with a Zero (Vampire Knight) cosplayer. He wasn't the best, but I smiled anyways and said, "Hello, Zero!"

    He looked really happy, because the rest of his group had disreguarded him and his Yuki had run off with a better Zero.

    concur! Also, if ppl are cosplaying the same character as me but doing a better job and we're at the same shoot, I usually tell them up front I think their costume is better. I feel like it helps clear the air a bit in case the other person is really competitive (because I know I am).

    I bought an FMA jacket a while back. It looks like Ed's but it's got warm shit on the inside, and it's extremely comfortable. So of course I wear it everywhere in winter without a second thought of what other people think of my big red weaboo cloak.

    I go into a Johnny Rocket's with my brother and order up some food and sit down. A few minutes later my brother points behind me, and a table of about 8 middle school kids are looking at me. I pretend there's nothing going on, and keep sipping my coke. Then they start talking.

    "That's SO from Harry Potter!"
    "No it's not!"
    "It so is!"
    Repeat ad nauseum. After about 10 minutes of this, I was laughing so hard I had to stand up and tell the kids it wasn't a Harry Potter jacket.

    That's the only interesting story I have, besides getting attacked by about 20 thirteen-year-old girls in my Haruhi cosplay and having a black guy almost grab my boob in a picture. Fun times.

    I was telling my friends that once I put off a few pounds and got better at costume making, I wanted to make Kasumi's black and gold outfit.

    My friends, not having much DoA knowledge, asked me why I didn't just do it now.
    Right at that moment, an overly-chunky Kasumi walked by in the EXACT outfit.

    She was a lot bigger than me, but after she left, I turned to my friends and said, "THAT is why."

    Irony.

    Let me give you the short version of my story(s)
    So I'm at a con, dressed as Aeris. There was about I shit you not 5 other girls going as the same character, not to mention the abundance of Sephiroth (Not the good kind either).

    A sweaty, fat, lard butt of a sephiroth cosplayer with a half shaved chest and grotesque pointy nipples grabbed me from the side and hugged me.

    I burned the cosplay and rubbed my skin raw in the shower an hour later.

    I feel dirty thinking about it.

    Not really an epic story but I showed up at....the last Ushicon I think (been awhile) dressed as Dr. Salvadore/Chainsaw Guy from RE4. Outside of the usual "Hey, Dr. Salvadore!" and random "glomps", one guy saw me and just instinctively bolted in the opposite direction. That was kinda cool.

    My friend went to A-Kon as Neuro.

    This guy was really into his DS game as she walked by. Turns out he was playing the Shonen Jump Superstars game, and just as she walked up, game-Neuro pwned the hell out of his ass. He looks up and there she is, standing there, and he screams, "WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO ME?"

    Scared the hell out of her, but when he explained, she got a good laugh.

    This will probably only make sense to people who've played Phoenix Wright, but it's epic so I've got to tell it.

    My friends and I went down to McDonald's for food during a con. One of my friends was dressed as Mia Fey from Phoenix Wright, and these douchebag Mexican guys came up to her while we were waiting in line and were trying to hit on her. The convo goes like this:

    Guys: Hey there pretty momma, whatcha supposed to be?
    Mia: I'm a lawyer.
    (The guys whistle at this and are laughing amongst themselves. Some of us get pissed and tell them off, but then my friend says:)
    Mia: Yeah, and by the way my boyfriend's face is a toaster.
    Guys: (obviously backing off at the word "boyfriend") Toaster? What, is he gonna shoot toast at us?
    Mia: No, but he'll throw cups of coffee.

    At this point my friends and I are laughing our asses off. The guys just stare at her weird and leave the store with their food. I still lament that her Godot wasn't there with her, it would have been twice as awesome if he'd shown up.

    I was dressed as Juri for a con and went walking out for lunch with a friend. This was around the time Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged was popular, too.

    I'm walking down the street, one hand on my ear that keeps blowing into my face and one hand holding up my tail so it doesn't drag on the ground and this group of people go running by in costume.

    "MAAKO'S A FREAKY FISH GUY!"

    Without even thinking I just shouted out, with his silly accent "I AM NOT A FREAKY FISH GUY!"

    They just stopped and stared at me before bursting into laughter and telling me I was awesome.

    Good times.
