Anime Expo '08: videogame cosplay gallery photo

#Anime #Cosplay #Japanator

Yes, I know. You're not so much for the anime. You leave that to the guys next door at Japanator. But you don't mind the videogame cosplay so much, right? We've put together a large gallery of the (mostly) videogame-based cosplay at this past weekend's Anime Expo 2008 for your viewing enjoyment.

Also worked into the collection are snapshots of AX 2008's 24-hour arcade, which was pretty great by even gamer's standards. In it, everything from air hockey tables to the latest Capcom fighters helped congoers fill in their down time. Of course, this being an anime convention, the dancing games and the Initial D racing cabinets got the most attention. Well, the most attention after the scantily clad cosplayers.

Enjoy, and if you dig this sort of thing, be sure to check out Japanator's coverage of the event.

is there an ivy in that bunch?

JynxShot

Velvet's a hottie.

MisterMingo

Check out the badonkadonk on the girl next to Yoko. Oh my...

Technophile

cosplayers make me conflicted.

1. they are typically hot or mostly naked, sometimes both.

2. I always get the impression they are frighteningly obsessed with dressing up so much that it weirds me out a bit.

No offense to the cosplayers here, I just don't know many cosplayers personally and they always come off as kinda stuck up at cons and such.

I'll be over here with my foot in my mouth now that I've said that.

The Unforgivable

hawt.

Pacopaco

@Technophile

Eh, I've known/met a good number of cosplayers in real life (i.e. OUTSIDE of conventions) and they're generally a nice bunch. There are definitely some odd ones and assholes like you said, but I don't think it's really worse than any other equally-fanatical group like Trekkies or sports fans - though each group does tend to have their unique "flavor" of asshole.

That last part sounded pretty bad, didn't it?

Novakaine

The blonde Odin Sphere cosplayer in the black and red... my god...

Jonathan Kerr

Puppy Licks

God damn that Bahamut one is INSANE.
How long would that have taken to build??

CrocBox

OMG GIANT PRINNY!

Qraze

got a thing for blondes? anyway the bahamut costume is just insanely detailed. best one i saw.

kawitchate

NEEDS MOAR MITSURU COSPLAY
seriously Dale, you can't SAY you saw a hot one in one article and then not have the proof to back it up. WHY DO YOU HATE ME?

Dale North

kawitchate - hahahah! sorry! I saw it, but could not snap a pic in time. I'm kicking myself now for that. I'll make it up to you at Otakon, hopefully.

Creamsnake

Scarlet... WOW. Needs more Tinkerbell though :-D

KMCC

Those Odin Sphere ones are awesome.

ZekeThePlumber

Needs less Green rangers ass.

ATuin

Tinkerbell is Cap'n Hooks Wifey. I was supposed to be Smee in that, but then I remembered I have a modicum of self respect...hehehe! I keed! I keed!

s0lesurviv0r

LOL, That kid totally got caught ogling I-No. I think those Odin Sphere costumes were the best of the bunch, Bahumut gets an A+ too. Tinkerbell is thick! MMM!

kawitchate

ok Dale, ok. you're just lucky the Odin Sphere girls make up for it.

nintendoll

I like Kratos vs. Wiimote. Also,

GIANT FUCKING PRINNY!!

ceark

very rarely do I say "wow, that's a hot cosplayer"

but I said that for the girl cosplaying as velvet.

Korolev

Well, I'm glad they're having fun. Can't understand it, but hey, if they like doing that sort of thing, let them. At least they have the courage to go out dressed like that and not die from embarrassment.

I will say that I do like some of the costumes - the one as the exploding penguin (forget what they're called) is great, as well as the one dressed as the Wiimote.

But most cosplay costumes are very unimaginative, and look quite bad. But hey, that's what they do for fun. At least it's better than standing around in the sun all day watching someone hit a ball across a field with a wooden stick.

ShuperShawn

My cock officially approves of cosplay.

13thDragon

This is relevant to my interests.

kadosho

Holy.. (bows to Dale) ;-; odin sphere lady love us
"We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"

Lucca

PRINNY!!

D00D!

Samit Sarkar

Damn, Dale...you were just enamored with that blond girl in the red and black hooded outfit, eh?

Justice

Doesn't that girl dress as Yoko from TTGL know? Yoko is loved so much because she has big boobs, this girl, is flat as a pancake.

Justice

Hold up, that blond girl in the red and black with the hood is possibly the most beautiful cosplayer I've ever seen.

Ratcliff

A lot of hot cosplayers?
Looks like just the Odin Sphere Velvet cosplayer was hot to me.

TrailerParkJesus

thanks for the faps

YONKE

on my work......must........... not......fap......

Batthink

@ Novakaine;

I know how you feel. O_O She's got everything right; the hair, the costume, the make-up...

@ RobotFart;

Yeah, that makes the person cosplaying next to him pale in comparison.

@ Nintendoll;

PRINNY!!! ^_^

JudgeCid

That girl cosplaying as Velvet is a popular cosplayer that goes by Miyu. She's always being posted on 4chan and other forums I visit. Here's a link to more of her pics. Happy fapping.

thunderleg

Wow!
Odin Sphere cosplay hotties and a GIANT PRINNY!
This is only the second-most awesome thing I've seen in the past 24 hours.

Paper Bag Lady

Yay Miyu-chan! I actually had the privelege of meeting this gorgeous bag of enviableness back in 2007. I'm actually cosplaying as Velvet at the May MGM Expo in London this year... so anyone interested in seeing a 4'11" chick wearing not-so-much is cordially invited to pop on down!
Miyu actually got the costume wrong, btw. Just to make myself feel better.
