This is so badass. I have always let my own body/face issues get in the way of pursuing things like this. So it's super inspiring to see your bravery in not letting those concerns stop you from doing what you want to do. You all looked awesome and I'm glad you ended up having as much fun as it looked.
NO WAY!!!! MMPPP CONTENT ON THIS DAY AND AGE????????? YOU ALL LOOK SO GORGEOUS ON THE COSPLAYS 😭😭😭 Mermaid melody was my entire childhood, and i was just rewatching it since i realized i never actually finished pure, it's sad I can't find it anywhere (rina has actually been my dream cosplay for as long as i knew what cosplay was, I'm so happy to see such a cool cosplay of her! Especially a handmade one! I can't wait to put together the money to get the materials for making mine, even though I'm actually just a beginner cosmaker 😅)
Thank you so much for joining in on this wild adventure. 💚 You are such a perfect Rina and just such a great person to be around 💚 Ty for always bringing to vibes 💚💚💚💚💚💚
You talking about your weight struggles while cosplaying is refreshing.. I have almost your exact body shape and all I could think while watching this video was "She is breath taking, she looks beautiful, stunning.. I want to be like her, I want to look like her" to the point that, I'm thinking of telling some friends to do a group cosplay of mermaid melody... Knowing how hard it's to battle those mental struggles and those lies our brains want us to believe.. and seeing you still shine so bright is inspiring 💜✨ you are gorgeous girl💜
this honestly is group goals! the dedication to get everyone together, have full out spreadsheets of the plan, make outfits and accessories, traveling to the location and stay for a whole weekend is amazing! 💖convention shoots could never! was it expensive to plan and go to this? I also relate to the struggles, especially in cosplay groups where I was the only plus size cosplayer (had a situation where the photographers didn't even take any solo pics of me which made me feel even more insecure) but in other groups I had supportive people and friends in them that would uplift each other
Oh my gosh, this looked so fun and everyone's cosplays came out so amazing! I have no clue how I missed this show when I was simultaneously going through my Sailor Moon/Tokyo Mew mew and mermaid phases, but I might have to check it out for the sake of younger me. Also super appreciated the real talk at the end as a girlie that is also not skinny! I've definitely let the brain bugs get to me, but overcoming that always makes things feel a little extra rewarding.
This looks like so much fun!! What an awesome shoot! Everyone looked incredible 👏😭💕 sucks about the rain but when you gotta stick to a date, you make the best of it! ❤ I'm more of a casual Mermaid Melody fan (I listened to the music a lot and watched a few random episodes and Clips but didn't really watch the series). The music and designs are so pleasing! My bit of Cosplay advice about gloves or thigh highs that won't stay up and without needing crazy tight elastic is to use skin tape ("fashion tape"). I also have used Pros-aid to keep up thigh highs 😂 (aka skin glue used in prosthetics) but that can bleed through thin fabric. If you'll be running around or fighting wind, you also could wear a full body (or just long sleeved leotard top if only gloves needed) thin skin color mesh spandex suit and sew the gloves or thigh highs to those for ultimate no slouching or slipping, that's what ice skaters do. 😊
Another superb video, Mary! 💚 I struggle with body issues and being on camera, too. It's so weird how we can be conditioned to not like the bodies that allow us to live and experience life and all sorts of delightful fun times. Good on ya for conquering those negative thoughts because I thought you looked amazing! (P.S. I have a drone, and it's so fun to get cool shots. I wish I was a better pilot though!)
I'm so lucky and grateful to have gone on this adventure with you!! 💖 I can't wait for whatever we do next 😉 (also there was an acrylic figure inside the shell in the bag, if you didn't open that! lol)
Of course Eli the absolute queen she is proposed the idea for this! Ahhh you all look like you had such fun and all your outfits are gorgeous!!! Any magical girl cosplay era 90s-early 2000s just feels so rare and extremely lovely to see. Group cosplays like this are such a dream to have!!! Be it TMM, Sailor Moon, Mermaid Melody, or even Doremi
Mermaid Melody was my JAM as a young teen. I got so super into it I even made my own ocs and tracked down a rom of the GBA game so I could play it. To this day, I can still sing Legend of Mermaid whenever the song is playing. This video was so fun to watch and I'm glad you had a great time!
this is so wonderful !!! you look so gorgeous and i’m very happy you got to live out your childhood dreams 💚💚 thank you for uploading i loved watching this xx
Your cosplay came out looking amazing and so did the pics and footage, you look so magical!!! You should be so proud of all the hard work you put in (both physically and mentally) 💚💚
Mermaid Melody is the first anime I ever saw when I was young! Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience you had, it makes my heart sing with joy
Mermaid melody was also one of my first anime! Doing a shoot like this is a dream! But I can't tell how the hell people are able to form cosplay groups like these
BTW, here’s a tip for a mermaid cosplay: ALWAYS bring a wheelchair (especially if you’re at a con or going to a pool for a photoshoot). Your legs will be wrapped inside your tail, and scooting or crawling on a hard, hot, or rough surface might end up damaging your tail. Note: This tip also applies if you’re cosplaying as a lamia/naga, since your legs will be wrapped inside a snake’s tail.
This looks real good and fun to be part of. Why does this video have so little views/likes?? As a chubby mermaid myself (like as a sport, not for cosplay) I also struggle with my body. I used to be skinnier and hate my silhuette and bumps now, but in the water I am fine, and on the longterm I also hope to lose weight again with this sport and diet changes. You looked very aesthetic on land yourself, maybe try swimming in these tails one day? Greetings from the Merspeople of South Hessen, Germany

Some parts of it have aged... interestingly, but it's such a cute show as well!
