Thanks guys! This keeps the forum nice and neat.
Tall one with headband: Naruto, I'm guessing?
I think the one with the fiery bikini has been linked to from these forums before, but I forget who she is
guy on left: one of the Sailor Scouts (which one? don't know, don't care)
bear in back: same bear that one of the crew on the pirate ship was wearing, on Vandread, after the three guys became part of the crew

Celtic Midori (Serutikku Midori) is another Megeran operator who has all sorts of costumes. She's mostly a cosplay person of the crew. She initially wears a full body teddy bear costume as a way to conceal her body from the men on board and later is one the leaders who imprison Hibiki, Duelo and Bart. She comes around as the male and female relations improve by cutting the face out of her teddy bear costume. During the Second Stage, she's seen using a different costume on each episode.
Sailor Moon Anime
Having now looked at the Wikipedia pages on the subject (*shudder*), I would have to say that based on the hair style of the wig, plus the black cat in the guy's arms, he is cosplaying the titular character Sailor Moon
More specifically, that fellow is Sailor Bubba, who has actually quite a following. To the point that he was the unofficial mascot of Anime Central at one point.
I thought the bear behind him was supposed to be a Pedobear, because he always seems to make an appearance at these things.
The one in the foreground in front of Sailor Bubba is the 'dark' version of Toad from Super Mario. You know how there's Wario, Mario's evil twin, and Waluigi, which is Luigi's counterpart? Yea, this is Toad's counterpart. And the mushroom with that particular design was the Poison Mushroom which would kill you if you picked it up, which wasn't seen in america until far later. Or it could just not be a cosplay attempt and is someone wearing a poison mushroom hat, which are also fairly prevalent. Or it could be a Kill La Kill cosplay.
Naruto is, of course, painfully obvious by having the metal plate on his head.
The one in the foreground from Naruto is probably just a fan wearing Persacon ears (from the painful series Chobits).
Dunno if the chick in the bikini is cosplaying as someone, doing an OC, or just dressing up for the occasion.

Ok, time for a quick change to Audrey and she fits right in. Timmy has now been forgotten.
Dear, don’t bore him with trivia or burden him with your past mistakes. The happiest way to deal with a man is never to tell him anything he does not need to know. L. Long
I see lots of pictures of the bikini chick on my YTM app especially on techno music, usually carrying a big-ass sniper rifle. So there's an anime/manga she's in but danged if I know which one it is.
I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.

That is Yoko Littner from the anime Gurren Lagann (in Japan: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, in English: "Pierce the Heavens, Gurren Lagann")
( i know a little about sailor moon and her crew, but didn't catch the 'scout' part, until looking back at the picture again...)
One thing though; the little black cat looks like the Birthday Present, stuffed-animal from Kiki's Delivery Service... (Jiji's inanimate doppelganger.)

Specifically Yoko Litner. For some annoying reason most of the fanart of her happens to be pre-time skip while she's still in her mid teens (15 or 16). Post time skip she's in her early 20s.

Been there. Done that. Have the T-shirt. Several of them, in fact. And the name badges.
"Plushies, 5 / 8$" isn't bad, depending on the plushie.

The cat also lacks Luna's golden crescent moon forehead marking. Sailor Bubba should of fixed that.
More than the cat or the costume details, though, the hair odangos are a dead give-away as to which scout he's cosplaying. Moon, of course.
I am surprised that we don't see Atsali and her group there, or Monica and/or Shelly. They are all as much the type of nerds that would be attracted by this!
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?
