This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Good Utena Cosplayers

Because I didn't see a thread like this.

Anyone have good pics of Utena cosplay?

Re: Good Utena Cosplayers

Actually I have one. My camera focused on her hand rather than the rest of her body, but I think one of my peeps has some good shots of her.

Re: Good Utena Cosplayers

Wow, those really are awesome. Dollface's 2nd pic looks exactly how I imagine Utena would look as a real person.

I previously posted these on other threads, but they bear repeating. From SakuraCon 2007/2008.

Haha! The uniforms do look good in the show, though.

That's my friend in the pokemon shirt. This was about the coolest cosplay at the convention, and it became even cooler when I popped in the first disc of Utena (which I bought there) and saw what she was actually cosplaying from!

Thats because all the characters in SKU have the sort of figures that make supermodels feel fat in comparison and while those closthes look good on them, they look less appealing on real people.

I swear to god this Juri is Archambeau from here (though she's not got the time recently to be here). I'll try to get her to confirm.

Re: Good Utena Cosplayers

Nope, it's not, but it is a friend of hers. The Juri there actually contributed some really fantastic art to the fandom section here, and she and Archambeau look remarkably alike.

My friend Ashlie and I cosplayed as Black Rose Duelists recently, but our costumes weren't finished. I'll get pics up of us when the time is right!

She's done Nanami and Juri, and I think Utena as well. I'll ask her for a link to some pics next time I email her.

Re: Good Utena Cosplayers

Ah, I found one of my favorite cosplayers!
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/trueutenafan/Utena/21850-156789.jpg
So cute! I love Shadow Girl cosplayers.

I also found an expansion on that Kanae picture.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/trueutenafan/Utena/15625-121302.jpg
She has a very elegant look, fitting for Kanae.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/trueutenafan/Utena/13038-156931.jpg
The colors just draw me in.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/trueutenafan/Utena/30895-162204.jpg
So rare to see manga-Anthy in her final outfit!

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/trueutenafan/Utena/27029-121036.jpg
...Or Aristocrat-Anthy, for that matter.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/trueutenafan/Utena/12925-157289.jpg
This picture always makes me want to say "Take my revolutiooooooonnn"

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/trueutenafan/Utena/20082-131071.jpg
Something in her face just... it's so hard to say! It's regal, but soft, but innocent, but frightened, but elegant... it's Anthy! I love the touch of the different colors of roses.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/trueutenafan/Utena/608-178876.jpg
... Okay, fine, all Shiori cosplayers are good cosplayers in my eyes.
