/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>At AX a number of years ago, find out as I was there that Seiji Mizushima is a guest. (Didn't pay attention to GoH that year)
>He was director for Generator Gawl and Oh! Edo Rocket, two of my favorite series ever and I just happened to be cosplaying Seikichi from Oh! Edo Rocket.
>Manage to find the first disc of Generator Gawl, go to one of his autograph sessions
>Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE around me has FMA stuff to be signed
>Get up to front, hand him the DVD, he half-heartedly grabs a pen, freezes, stares at the cover, and gets SUPER EXCITED (I was later told he really loves Generator Gawl).
>Then his wife starts tugging on his sleeve, shouting, "IT'S SEIKICHI!! IT'S SEIKICHI!!!"
>He looks up and goes, "SEIKICHI!!!!!!!" And his wife pulls out a camera so we can get pictures together

>A couple years later he came to Fanime
>Wore Seikichi again and also made the outfit Seikichi wears in part of the opening
>We get pictures together again
>Ask him lots of Oh! Edo Rocket questions at his panels
>My friend, who was translating for him, says I made him think Oh! Edo Rocket was super popular in the states, hahahaha, whoops.
>BUT IT WAS THE BEST CON EVER

Little makes me as happy as geeking around with creators who truly love their work. I want him to come to another convention I'm attending so I can have an excuse to cosplay Sora's beast form.
