Here's the first in a two part TGS cosplay spectacular, edited by Mr. Dale North. Thanks again, Dale. These videos were brutal to cut together. I think there were over 200 clips in all, hence the two videos.

The amount off cosplay on display here is astounding. There's also a fair share of crossplay (cross-dress costume play) as well, which I think is awesome. It takes a lot off guts to go out in public dressed as your favorite videogame character. It takes even more guts to do so while busting some gender norms while you're at it.

My hat's off to you, cosplayers and crossplayers of the world. You are fantastic. Especially you, Air Man.

As much as I'd like to believe that the person who dressed up as Bridget from Guilty Gear is a woman, I know better than to fall into that trap again.

I gotta admit, that Air Man gear was pretty sweet. I almost fantasized myself beating him for a minute there.

I hear Katamari. What's the name of the song you used?

@ OriginalGman- Just wait until Wednesday.

@ sicPOS- Dale chose the music, so I'm not sure, though I believe it is a remix from Katamari Forever.

@ sicPOS - "Katamari on the Rocks (5cm Prince Remix)" from Katamari Forever.

Also, I want that Air Man costume... or really any of the robot masters from MM2.

Impressive. My favorites were probably Air Man and Demifiend (!)

Holy shit, excellent Kuja cosplay!!! Actually there were a bunch of really great costumes there. Going to such a convention must be worth the price of admission just based on the cosplay alone!

Well, great looking costumes I guess, but I just don't get cosplay. I do not, and cannot, understand the motivation behind it. It's impressive, colorful and requires dedication, and I'm happy for them to do it, but I cannot, for the life of me, understand WHY they do it. I don't understand what they get out of it. It boggles my mind. It's an enigma wrapped in a riddle and so forth.

Oh cosplayers... the only place you'll see more hair product, and fake hair, than on the Jersey shore.

Man that Juri looked really good, not much camera time though. I'll just have to wait until Wednesday...

I depress myself that I was able to recognise the Aerith cosplayer right away. <3 Adella.
