I've been wanting to do a Getbackers cosplay, but I always had a hard time deciding on who I wanted to cosplay. I'm pretty sure I'm going to cosplay Natsumi, but I kinda want to cosplay Hevn, but I lack certain assets. lol

Anyways, I was really happy to see a Ban and Ginji this year so I'm hoping they will come back along with other characters!

Anyone else doing a Getbackers cosplay?

Details for this meet-up:
Day: Saturday
Time: 5 - 5:30 pm
Location: Dome

I'm just plain thrilled to see someone else who knows what Get Backers is these days. XD My girlfriend and I have been cosplaying from the series for six years, and we've been wanting to drag Emishi and Amon out again at some point... possibly in the maid outfits from the end of the manga, even though no one will have a clue who we are since Tokyopop dropped it.

GetBackers is one of my favorite series.

Omg! Please do it! That would make my life!!!

Are you the couple that go as Ban and Ginji? I'm pretty sure I have a pic of you two from this years Acen and I get so excited because I don't think I've seen any other GB cosplays besides that! Although I'm pretty sure I saw a Dr Jackal a few years ago, but with some similar cosplays, you never know. He looked like him though =/ but either way I've been meaning to do a cosplay from this series for a long time...I just never thought I could actually pull one off. I wanted to do a Shido X Madoka because they are my fav couple...so freakin cute or Ginji X Akabane...but that would be weird...blah. Well anyways, kudos! Maybe one year I'll actually do it but I mainly express my fandom in pumpkin carvings...its cheaper than making cosplays lmao

[Vinja Ryou]

....this is what happens when I'm not on the forums forever, l-lol

ANYWAY. I was totally going to post a thread for this - so glad I searched first! My friend and I cosplayed GB last year - I was Ban, she was Ginji - and we have some friends who cosplay it as well (two Akabanes and a Kazuki). So yes, it would be awesome to get an actual GetBackers group together, and even possibly a photoshoot.

tl;dr I AM DOWN FOR THIS.

[tsukeru]

I have always wanted to do Kazuki, but I think I will have to pass on him this year. ^^; Too many groups and cosplays planned already.

[ravenwind]

Are you guys still planning on cosplaying Get Backers? I just started watching the anime and would love to cosplay Kazuki.

[Vinja Ryou]

Yuss!

....well, I am, at least, XD and I would love a Threadspinner.

[ravenwind]

I'm gonna do it! Bought the wig for a Kazuki cosplay! (Now, I just have to figure out how to make that damn shirt).

[Vinja Ryou]

Heh, you're going for the off-shoulder outfit? :]

[ravenwind]

Yup. I failed at my first attempt to make it, but I think I found something really close online

[Vinja Ryou]

Very awesome! Can't wait to see it! *thumbs up*

[ravenwind]

Got the shirt- did a little modification- it will work! I see we have a time and place set up to meet. Sweet

[Vinja Ryou]

Yuss, I am so excited for this, lol. I've already gotten a friend of mine to come up from Florida for ACen by telling her about this, as well as a second pair of GB that I saw last year. \o/

[Bulma Briefs]

Aw man....I cosplayed as Sakura a couple years ago and I still have my costume and would love to do it again, but my hair's nowhere near long enough right now.

[Lina]

Awe! It's ok! I hope you can come and take pictures though!

I plan on bring a ping pong paddle and a ping pong ball or two and beat up Ban.

[Mullenkamp]

Having talked to the girlfriend, I think I may actually get around to finishing manga version Emishi (I only have anime version - and the outfit he wears in the Venus arc - yeah, I really like the goofball XD) to go with her manga Amon (since he's not in the anime). It would be simple enough. Also nostalgic, since ACen was where we first met in person and cosplayed Emishi and Amon together back in 2004. (I did use to be part of a Ban/Ginji set, but long story short, Ginji took off somewhere around 2006-2007. Oh well. Girlfriend and I have discussed doing Ban and Ginji, but we're both sure that we would be the better Ban, so... XD)

There's probably no way we could make a photoshoot on Saturday, though, unless it was REALLY late. Like past midnight late. I'm pretty sure that I will spend all of Saturday inside the bizarre animatronic thing I'm working on for competition now, and in the evening will likely be stuck in the masquerade green room.

[Bulma Briefs]

I should definitely be able to come and take pics since the Dragonball,Z,GT gathering's at 2:30 and the GetBackers one is at 5. YAY! I usually see a Ginji walking around, but only a couple times did I ever see a Ban with him.

What about a wig?

Lina- that quote from Foolish Humon at the end of your last post is freakin' hilarious!

[Vinja Ryou]

Bulma: Wig it! XD

Lina: ....fffffff, IT IS ON, *lol*

/sucks at ping pong

[Mansopp Longnose]

*has wanted to be down hair ban for years* Finally someone else who knows of the Dakkanya! I'm wanting to do Snake arm ban or Shirtless Akabane, a la his first fight with ginji. (Those scars are awesome) But I'm also partial to Emishi and Der Kaiser....argh so many choices...

[risamori]

This thread makes me so excited! This will be my first time at Acen (not my first time at a con, but I've never actually been in the area at the right time of year for this particular one) and I'm really happy to see fans of my favorite series will be there ^^ I'm planning on bringing Kazuki, probably with the Orpheus outfit from the Divine Design arc.

Yay another Kazuki! I'm not familiar with the story arc as I've only seen the anime.

[Mullenkamp]

Dang, makes me want to bring Ban's ritual outfit. But my girlfriend doesn't have a costume that would go with it...

...On the other hand, she's mentioned wanting to cosplay Toshiki, and that would be pretty easy to throw together. ...Fanservice reenactment, bwahahahaha.

[Vinja Ryou]

HOLY CRAP YOU HAVE THE RITUAL OUTFIT. HOLY CRAP.

That's one of my favorites ever.

[Mullenkamp]

Yeah, one of my earliest costumes, though - I'd have to fix the headdress. I was dumb and made the elaborate bits out of Sculpey. XD I know much better techniques now.

[Vinja Ryou]

Dude, I am already impressed, lol. I've been wanting to do that one for a long time - when did you make it?

[Mullenkamp]

It was the year I went to Otakon without my girlfriend... Must have been 2005.

*goes to look* Yep, there we go: http://www.cosplay.com/photo/489044/ For another friend of mine, I made Ginji's outfit from the Japanese manga cover, since Ban wears the ritual outfit with his glasses there. (Man, I don't think the manga was even licensed in English yet...)

[Vinja Ryou]

That is really freaking awesome. Definite props to you. \o/ That outfit's been on my "MUST DO" list since I first saw it, lol.

*flail* I'm really excited for this gathering now. People who know mangaverse--it's amazing!!! Or...maybe I've just been going to the wrong cons before. >.>

Anyways. Very excited.
