AX 09: The West Coast knows how to do videogame cosplay photo

The real highlight of our time at Anime Expo was the cosplay. We covered panels here and there, but what all the readers on Japanator really reacted to, and what you guys did when we put up our first round of photos, was the cosplay. And so, with Anime Expo now over, and the Japanator team looking ahead to Otakon in just under two weeks, it's time to share the rest of that videogame cosplay with you.

Thanks again to our amazing photographer Ace0fClub5, we got some truly stunning shots that you can check out in our gallery. We've also got a ton of other cosplay photos over on Japanator that you need to check out. Like this cosplayer from The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi.

While Anime Expo was a poor event for news and exciting updates, it sure provided for some great eye-candy.

Ahahah lots of people on their cell phones. Kudos to the Photographer! I wish I could've gone to Anime Expo. Though I prefer Otakon as I'm an east coast kinda gal. :)

Dang that shit is weird, I just can't figure it out personally. I'm not just saying theres anything wrong with it. I just can't figure out how adults can play dress up.

Man-sized Prinny is pure win.

Emo, lip-pierced chubs Cloud is not.

Who would win in a fight, Fat-Cloud or Fat-Auron?

My money gives the edge to the super sized Auron.

Ha! Did anyone else notice the nemesis symbol over that Engineer's head? Classic.

Ack, is there any better way to view these images? Destructoid's system doesn't seem to like me very much.

@s0lesurviv0r I started to cry a little bit when I read that and then seen the picture. Hahahahha. . .

The cosplay was definitely epic at AX. But again, nothing compared to Gurren Lagann.

The Disgaea group and the Vincent cosplay are excellent. ^_^

@ Vexed Alex;

Because out of all the poor ones, you get at least one extremely good cosplay.

Fat Prinny was great. Cosplayers look like they have a lot of fun doing what they do, and I respect them for that.
