American Cosplay Paradise is coming to Anime Expo 2009
We will be supervising several events this weekend, so you can find ACP/ACE cosplayers with FUNimation, NIS Entertainment, Aksys (BlazBlue/Guilty Gear), Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Movie Premiere, Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Panel and a roaming surprise too.
Stay tuned for photo coverage and video updates over the weekend!

First of all, thank you all for your shower of support for Gundam 00 and the contest.
The Top 5 based on your votes are hereby announced.
1. Owldepot
2. Sailor Anime
3. Prince Ali
4. Masao
5. TIE. Starwind824 & Flowery

Yes. I can count. That is six. But the two in fifth place got the same amount of votes. Instead of arbitrarily shafting one of them, we are having them both go on to the next round.

Next Intervention: AX2009 Gundam 00 Panel, JULY 5TH, AT 3:00 PM, LP2.
Rank order from this first part doesn't matter in the next round. We will shuffle these 6 lucky entries and send them to the director/screenwriter/character designer to choose from and announce at the panel. These three will pick their personal favorites but their consensus will determine the final winner. Good luck to these six at the panel! We will contact you all shortly. Congratulations on making it this far!
