Thank you guys ;-;
I got some great suggestions for my second arm, so hopefully for the local anime con (Nan Desu Kan, first weekend in September) I'll have my new one done by then. I'll try to keep this thread updated.
I'm also considering making maybe the blue uniform one from the tv series as an off-cosplay for NDK, I really want to take pictures and video, but it was such a challenge with that arm. And then I can sew in some reactive thread or the spray on stuff onto my gloves so I can use my phone or my camera touch screen stuff if I wanted to.
That's still up in the air, I'm talking to Calun about it during his breaks at Anime Expo. The second arm is definitely going forward, just the second less heavy/stressful uniform is up in the air.
