Welcome Gotami chan to the Guild,

It's really neat to have a member from India. I'm not surprised that Anime is not popular in your country. I'm curious, how do you watch Anime, and do you read Manga. Do you get these items online or is their a place that you can go to get them. Are their Anime / Cosplay conventions in India? if so let us know all about them. Check out the Main Forums and Sub Forums of the Guild. Their is something for everyone to get involved with. In the Contests Sub Forum we have our contests. We just Finished the "Video Game Questionnaire" contest. This months theme is Magical girls so the next contest will be based on them. Please explore the Guild and feel free to post on existing threads or start your own. My door is always open so if you have any questions let me know. Have fun and know that you are among friends that share your interests. smile

ohh wen it comes to watchin anime on television its usually ANIMAX! but i dont get that channel for some reason so i watch it online.we dont get mangas or any anime merchandise here its very irritating and no cosplay here and i hardly come across anime fans here i try to be in contact and may be have a small picnic or a get together where we share our opinions on a particular anime and decide on an anime we gonna watch next so we can keep discussing.Even tho people dont support anime much here we take pride in it and usually customize our t-shirts as u dont get any anime goods here. 3nodding

Okay so . . . Everyone can just call me Luna, or Luna-chan if you want. I am female. I live in the US, but I want to visit Europe and Japan. I am 1/4 Japanese, and am currently learning Japanese at school. 日本語をすこし話します。I love Anime. Some that I've watched are; Kuroshitsuji ( Black Butler ), Furuba ( Fruits Basket ), Ouran High School Host Club, Vampire Knight, Full Metal Alchemist, D-Gray Man . . . I'm basically a huge nerd, meaning I also love Science Fiction themed things, video games, reading, writing, drawing. I absolutely love ( adore, really ) cats, and I have two. I haven't cosplayed yet, but I am going to at AkiCon next month as Shiki ( true form ) from TWEWY. Complete with a Mr. Mew! I listen to a lot of JRock and JPop, mostly Pillows and Acidman.

I don't really like to give out personal info much, so please never ask. I am happy to make friends, though.

Hihi, everyone! I'm Bailey, but calling me Mocha is just fine too. I'm 21+, a seasoned vet of Lolita fashion, and a budding enthusiast in skincare. If you ever need some advice for planning that perfect coord, hit me up!

My top three animes are: Kuroshitsuji (baby's first), Code Geass, and Blood+. My favorite mangas are: Owari no Seraph, Bleach, and Magi. (A weird mix, I know).

Hobby-wise, I like to read a lot of fanfic, and throw money at whatever merch I can for my favorite shows/series.

I'm a picky eater, but my favorite dish is chicken fingers and fries. Strawberry Pocky's pretty good too, but I rarely get it lmao.

See you guys around! yum_strawberry

Hi everyone. I go by either Mel or Melsa and live in Eastern Canada. emotion_yatta

I love reading of manga and watching anime. Some of my favourites are Tokyo Ghoul, Kamisama Hajimemashita, Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (them feels ), Fairy Tail and many others.

I can be quiet (and a lurker) at times but in reality I am quite talkative and outgoing. When I'm not doing anything anime/ manga/ cosplay related, I'm usually studying, traveling, skiing, watching movies on Netflix or gaming sweatdrop I also like eating a lot (especially any type of noodles and cheese)

I have been cosplaying for about 4 years now and have cosplayed quite a bit in the last few years including, Kyoko (puella magi madoka magica), Momo Hinami (Bleach), Mako (Kill la Kill), Lisbeth and Sinon - bathing suite version (SAO), Reverse Annie (LoL - I know it isn't an anime but I still love her), Rize - both fancy and manga version (Tokyo Ghoul), Nanami (Kamisama Hajimemashita), Stephanie Dola (No Game, No Life), Inori (Guilty Crown), Aries (Fairy Tail). I have plans to crossplay zeno from Akatsuki no Yona with a few friends but other than that still have a few cos that I need to finish making (so much procrastination ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) including GGO Sinon and Sasha (Attack on Titan).

See you all around _(:3」∠)_

Hello everyone! My name is Kat and I'm an indie comic book writer and illustrator who currently lives in Rhode Island. My signature takes you to my current comic project.

I don't cosplay, but I attend a bunch of conventions via artist alley booths. If you've been to Ohayocon, Ikasucon, Anime Crossroads, A&G Ohio, SPACE, and Sugoicon, you've probably seen me. xd

My favorite anime are One Piece and Slayers. My hobbies are playing the Jyamisen (a Japanese Banjo) and running 5K races.

Nice to meet you all!

Hi Kat,

Welcome to the Guild. I've been to Providence, Rhode Island before and did a tour of the New England States back in 2001. I haven't gone yet but I do plan on going to Ohayocon in the future.

Hello Everyone,

I think that it's time to reintroduce myself again. We have had quite a few people join the Guild recently and since I'm asking them to introduce themselves on this thread it's only fair that they learn something about me as well.

Many years ago I joined this wonderful Guild. As time went on their was a very slow period in the Guild. Our Captain put out the call for help and I answered it. With the help of many talented new Crew Members I have helped bring life back into this guild. Our Crew Members talents are very helpful and needed to keep things going. They have a diverse set of skills that cover Cosplay Outfits, going to Cons, knowledge of Certain genre of Anime both old and new series and now Comic Con (American), and what it is to be an Otaku. It doesn't matter if you are brand new to the Cosplay Culture or an old pro we can help anyone just ask.

I'm Ron and I'm 52 years young. Some people would say that I'm too old to Cosplay. Well when I was 12 years old I was told that I was to old to Trick or Treat and wear a Halloween costume. That didn't stop me then or now. I'm fully accepted as a cosplayer which makes me happy to no end. I happen to be born on Halloween which is pretty cool for a Cosplayer.

I share with everyone on the Guild what I have seen and experienced over the years. For 10 years back in the 1990's I worked at Sci Fiction / Star Trek / Fantasy Cons. This gives me a lot of inside info on cons in general that I gladly share. I have knowledge of both old and newer Anime series. I watched the Sailor Moon series when it came out on American TV. Also I have come to really like newer series like Fairy Tail, Soul Eater, and so much more.

The biggest talent that I share with everyone is my Semi Professional Cosplay Photography. When you check out the Guild you will see some of my work. Especially when it comes to checking out "Official Series Threads". These Official series threads can be found in the "Anime, Manga, Video Game Discussion", "Anime Retro and Classic series", and the "Comic Con" (shorter nick name) Sub Forums. I have been a Photographer since I've been 7 years old and a Cosplay Photographer since 2007. My way of Cosplay Photography is a little different than most. I always have my camera set on auto and focus entirely on who I'm taking a photo of. Due to this attention I have a lot of fun posing the cosplayers, and even interacting with them. On Deviant Art I have fans from over 60 countries around the World which still surprises me. Their is a link in my Gaia signature so check out my page and Photo Galleries. Soon I will be adding new photos to that page from Youmacon 2015. Some of those photos I will post here too in the Photo Sub Forum in the Guild.

I like to hike, bird watch, all the sciences especially Earth Science and Nature. I have a very large rock, mineral, and Crystal collection. I started this collection when I was 5 years old. In this Guild as I often say my door is open so if you have any either personal or Guild Related questions send me a message and I will do my best to answer it. I will also put out the call for help from the rest of the Crew to help someone that needs help with Cosplay outfits, etc. The Cosplay Help Sub Forum and the Main Forum are two places that you can post your questions at.

I put my heart and my soul into this Guild. I do what I can to help bring the magic of a convention to this corner of the Cosplay Culture that we are a part off. I also Love Horror Movies, Science Fiction Movies, and I have a very large collection of Anime to watch over and over again.

Hi! So it's been a while since I've been on Gaia and it's good to be back. My name is Loving Life Forever but my real name is Katie. I'm 25 and currently finishing up school in Delaware. While I have never been to a convention (not for lack of trying), I am a huge fan of anime, books, video games, and TV shows. My favorite animes of all time are Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles and YuGiOh, though I have a lot of others.

I love to read books and always find time to read something. I have 5 bookcases in my bedroom and will probably need another one soon, I'm running out of room. Most of it is either fantasy (Game of Thrones, Harry Potter) or manga (above anime plus others). I'm always looking for more book recommendations.

I love playing video games. Right now, Dragon Age is consuming all my time right now, although Final Fantasy, Persona, and Kingdom Hearts are also favorites of mine.

I'm not even gonna touch TV shows cause I watch a lot of them, although my top favorites that I watch every week without fail are Doctor Who, Once Upon a Time, and Supernatural.

I was extremely blessed last year to go down to Florida and work at Walt Disney World through the Disney College Program. It was a wonderful experience and would love to go back once I graduated college.

Ok, so I've rambled on long enough. Sorry about the long post.
