Anime Central 2000 Costume Photographs

Return to my Home Page
Anime Central Web Site

When I went to Anime Central 2000, I did not expect to see so many cool costumes. That evening I went home (which thankfully was only 10 minutes away) to get my Poloroid camera. It was the only camera I had with film. Unfortunately it hadn't seen much use since I bought it about two years ago. The original film pack was still in there and the spare I bought along with it was still unused. I took pictures of any costume caught my fancy. Some of them are good, some are a tribute of skill with an instant camera (or lack of thereof). They are all up here out of respect for my fellow fans.

What I didn't expect is so many requests to put them online from my friends at my anime club. I had to use some of the tricks in Paint Shop Pro 5 to improve some of the not-so-good pictures. One was beyond help, but it's up anyway. The ratings I give each one reflect the shot itself and NOT the subject. They are all great costumes and I thank each one for letting me take their picture. If a picture is given a low rating, it is due to my own error and is not my opinion of the subject.

I don't know which series and characters all the costumes are from. I listed the ones I knew. If you know something I don't please e-mail me at the bottom of the page.

A special note to the anime fans who let me take their picture. THANK YOU!!! I did my best with each picture, but some mistakes were made and I apologize for them.

1-Great!
  • Chocolate Misu Sorcerer Hunters VERY IMPRESSIVE
  • Not Sure I have no idea which series the costume is from. But I liked it.
  • Rei from Neon Genesis "Can you smile please?" I said. "Rei doesn't smile." she said. Good point.
  • Lime (Saber Bubba)Saber Marionettes J (If this is how the world sees otaku, we're in trouble.)
  • One of the Vendors and the only one who had a costume.

    2-Good
  • Cabbit and Cat As a Tenchi fan, I just had to take this one.
  • Duo Maxwell Gundam Wing
  • Lena Inverse and Tira Misu Slayers and Sorcerer Hunters
  • Ryoga Hibiki Ramna 1/2
  • Skuld Oh My Goddess!

    3-Average
  • Goddesses Oh My Goddess!
  • Mononoke, Yoko, Lena Inverse Princess Mononoke, Devil Hunter Yoko, Slayers
  • Cyberpunk? I'm assuming this is from a cyberpunk-style series. Anyone who wears a full-body suit like this deserves praise for originality and effort.
  • Armor with Sythe She said the character's name is on the blade. I couldn't see it though.
  • Tuxedo Mask Sailor Moon. The first one I took at the convention.

    4-Not Very Good
  • Group Photo Sailor Moon characters and the hero from Lost Universe on the right.

    5-Please Don't Look! They're only here so I can say I posted all the pictures I took.
  • Don't Look Please These two were part of a group the others I missed.
  • Nice costume, bad shot OK, I admit it. I messed this one up and cut the poor woman's head off.
