This image was taken at Anime Conji 2011 on Day 1.

I was cosplaying as Komui Lee from D.Gray-Man (always a fun character to embody!). My friend snapped this picture of me, very seriously, reading The Art of War by Sun Tzu. We thought it would be a hilarious and perfectly in-character contrast for Komui, who, despite his eccentricities, is a strategic leader. It's one of those little, silly moments at a con that always makes me smile!

The Day Fandoms Formed a Military Unit

These images represent some of my absolute favorite memories of the cosplay community. This occurred on Day 2 of Anime Conji 2011.

I was cosplaying as Denmark from Hetalia, but I teamed up with a cosplayer of Halo, Vash the Stampede (Trigun), and Vegeta (Dragon Ball Z). We decided we were a military unit and actually worked together, strategizing as we "climbed" up the hotel structure!

I will always cherish this memory because it perfectly shows that four cosplayers from entirely different fandoms can instantly collaborate, work together, and have a genuinely great time. I’m truly grateful that I was part of this remarkable, spontaneous event.

Pre-Con Prep: Comfort Over Chaos

This image was taken right before my friend and I headed out for Anime Conji 2011 Day 3. As you can see, we had just put on our cosplays and were packing up our bags before leaving for the con.

My friend actually had an invite to crash in someone’s crowded hotel room at Conji, but she opted to stay at my house instead. Nothing beats having your own room and a real bed when you're powering through a con weekend! Plus, I live fairly close to the venue, so it was a quick, short drive every day.

It was all about prioritizing comfort and low stress so we could have maximum fun at the convention.

So I'm going to start posting some of my older cosplay pictures on here since a lot of you haven't seen them. They are mostly on my deviantART which I don't use anymore LOL. So look forward to a lot of pictures coming over the next few weeks! #Animeconji2011 Ciel Phantomhive cosplay by @sly_oren Sebastian Michaelis cosplayed by Geia Photographer @sly_oren Edited by @sly_oren #BlackButler #Ciel #Sebastian #anime #manga #cosplay #BlackButlercosplay #Kuroshitsuji #Kuroshitsujicosplay #CielPhantomhive #Cielcosplay #Sebastiancosplay #SebastianMichaelis https://www.instagram.com/p/BxQvMo1n-tP/?igshid=1bk3126dcgbb4
