I forgot how crowded this whole scene was. All the cosplayers were gathered outside, in-between halls, backed in a little lot. The scene was so over stimulating, and awesome. There was a lot more where this came from, but my battery died, and it didn't recharge until the show was pretty much over. I did get a few more shots (like female Raiden) as the show was wrapping up, but I still missed a lot.
Ah well, there's always next year. I hope Piplup guy is back. He's a God in my mind. Also, thanks to the guy who yelled "S'up Sagat!" at me as I walked by. We stuck you in the video. I hope that's OK. I presume you have a penis, so I probably didn't break any Japanese laws there, but you can never be too sure.

I didn't mind the music that much, Holmes. But then again, having a japanophile for a roommate desensitizes you to that sort of thing after awhile. :)
Another great showcase! I'm continually impressed by how much more effort goes into cosplaying over there than here in the US. Especially with the spikey hair. Christ, I almost think that the amount of hairspray needed would cost more than the outfit itself. o.O
Great video. There were some really intense costumes on display. Also, I'm nearly positive that I saw the female Raiden (at 2:20) at Kojima's autograph signing in L.A. prior to E3. She was hanging out with this mind-blowingly good Major Ocelot. Music was fine (though the last video's was better).

I love the addition of shifty-eyes at the end! Your videos are always well edited as well as being videos that I always happen to like and enjoy watching, especially the interviews. Well done sir!
Though watching this makes me want to go there ever so much... Which of course has nothing to do with all of those girl's dressed up in cosplay...

and Air Man is still God tier.
Holy jesus female Raiden and Bartz.
And I like how the Strange Journey cosplayers had eyeliner to match Kazuma Kaneko's (SMT series artist) style.
Also the Boss & Snake looked like they had an odd couple thing going.

As Yoshi would say, "YUM!"
