OMG I'd totally love to be able to Cosplay as all of my favourite anime characters....
But I just can't afford to, and it's not really the "done thing" as such here in the UK either... (Except for at the odd anime convention, which aren't very often) It's a real shame really....What I wouldn't give to live in Japan or the USA purely for this reason alone, where Cosplaying is a natural part of everyday life in people's worlds

There are many anime-manga mall conventions in NY and you get to see a lot of cosplays.
You can get all the clothes and accessories for cosplaying your fave characters there itself. Unfortunaltely, its not necessary that you'll get it for your fave character

Here are some more pics of the same cosplayer:
Spoiler for Random:
Not just that she is the most beautiful cosplayer I have ever seen, those hand-made outfits of hers seems to have been made with top-notch skill, not mentioning that the material is also very high quality. Its almost like she is the "Queen of Cosplay"!

The rest of his costume is very cool and obviously well-made, but the six-foot long buster sword is just stupid. Sorry, but no cosplayer can look good with a buster sword that, if it were actually made of metal, would way more than they do. Actually, come to think of it, it's the same for many anime/game characters in general.

Some cosplayers are girls who'd like to become models... others are simply cute girls who have found a niche in being a cosplay idol - some have been able to turn it into income via photo gigs, gallerybooks, etc. One cosplayer has even turned it into a bookwriting career.
At the bigger anime cons, you will occasionally see professional models dressed as cosplay -- but they sometimes "out" themselves when they turn out to know nothing about the character.

After seeing Midori Kanda and Ibara's Toradora shoot on triblo, I figured it would only be a matter of time before Ibara's Ami showed up on MPZero. MPZero's super saturated colours make her wig look a bit strange, but as a big fanboy of both Ibara and Toradora, I figured I'd pass it along anyway. Other MPZero picks from the past couple weeks: Minami Hazuki as Ranka Lee. I kind of wish there were pics of her doing the nyan-nyan dance though. ZeroInch as Asuka in both regular and loli forms. ZeroInch seems to have a Tomoyo like ability to cosplay as little girl characters. Chiya Torigae as Mai and Kanae Hiiragi as Sayuri, respectively. Individual shoots available here and here. I like them as a duo, although I feel that Chiya's chin is a little narrow for cosplaying a Key character. (Okay Key fans, it's a joke. Don't kill me.) |
