But back to Castella: Does anyone else see the irony of a genuine superheroine attending an anime convention? I wonder if there are any Porta-Poos nearby, just in case?

At least here if Castela partly loses control of her glamour, she won't immediately stand out as anything unusually unusual. Unless her eyes go; hollow sockets with wiggly tendrils might be a bit much to try to pass off with nonchalance.

Well, Atsali obviously knew about it, so maybe she just has better things to be doing. Or is going on a different day, or already went.

Perhaps we'll see Monica and Jin cosplaying again, though.

A dead giveaway for anyone familiar with the series, that is... I had to look it up: I looked at each character's wiki page, to compare hair styles, before I could deduce it was Sailor Moon...

Yep.

Not as many as I'd like, though . . . and I can't walk well enough these days.

Actually, that looks like

PLUSHIES

to me . . . They look to be about a foot-and-a-half tall, so maybe it's $1/inch?

A power nerd would want to know how she got the effect . . .

Or is waiting for Nadette to be available . . .

Well, we don't know who's wearing the bear costume . . .

I think that's her name, but I don't read her quite that way . . . though if she can display her ink, maybe.

So...

Who's the girl with the skull hat cosplaying?
Where does that bear actually come from, anime-wise?
Who's the girl behind Naruto supposed to be?

Enquiring minds want to know...

I fear me that the not-a-date may turn into the worst aspects of a very-much-a-date any second...
