One con that I’ve always wanted to go to was Otakon, and this weekend I finally got the opportunity to attend! Today we’re going to start with a post dedicated to the Kill la Kill photoshoot / meetup since there’s a ton of pictures. Anyone who follows me on twitter/tumblr knows I’m a huge Kill la Kill fan, so it was an awesome experience to attend the Kill la Kill photoshoot. Enjoy!
One of the great things about Otakon is all the spacious outdoor terrace they have which makes for a great place to do cosplay pictures. This is where the meet started up! Up first are the Ryuko cosplayers
Followed by the eyebrow queen Kiryuin Satsuki!
Tons of Kill la Kill cosplayers showed up to the shoot, here you can see all the elite four cosplayers trying to gather in the one corner of the terrace.
Since it was apparent that all of the cosplayers weren’t going to fit crammed in the corner of the terrace, everyone decided to move to the other side for some more space. Here we see some lovely Nudist Beach cosplay. Loved the guys in the DTR suits!
The dynamic duo, Ryuko and Mako!

Overall it was a fun photoshoot! Great to see so many Kill la Kill fans in one place.
A little later at the Aniplex booth some more cosplayers gather!
More Mako X Gama
Loved these cosplays
One of the cool events here at Otakon was having the Kill la Kill english dub cast visiting! They had a few panels plus and autograph session at the Aniplex booth. They were really awesome! The Kill la Kill dub is really nicely done, it was a thrill to see it being screened on the big screen for one of their panels.
Phew, that was a lot of photos! It was a really fun time here at otakon, especially for all the Kill la Kill cosplayers/fans out there. Hope some of the cosplayers out there can find yourselves in the photos! I always like to credit cosplayers, so if you see yourself please let me know so I can link up to your cosplay page, site, or whatever!
As always I can provide full resolution photos upon request, just comment or email me at nyotakublog@gmail.com . Cosplayers are always free to use photos for their pages or for personal use, but please don’t claim that you are the photographer :). Photos have also been uploaded to my flickr, facebook and tumblr if it’s easier for you to view/share that way.
Enjoy!
These photos are awesome, thanks for taking them. I was the guy dressed as Ryuko in her episode 1 outfit who took over running the shoot together with one of the Gamagori’s.
Awesome! Thanks for hard work running the shoot, it was a ton of fun
Man I really was the best Sanegayama at the con!!! Boy that makes me feel good!!!
These are awesome! I really want to attend Otakon one of these days. That Ryuko PJ costume is my favorite!
