Seeing cosplay as an adult is the equivalent of the thrill I got as a child when I saw princesses at Disneyland. Cosplay is the closest thing you can get to meeting your characters in real life, and considering the lengths that some people go to with their costumes, that can feel awfully close. At conventions you never know who’s going to walk around the corner next. It could be…
Your long lost siblings from the Kingdom of Hoshido…
A female warrior who’s not only sexy, but strong…
Your favorite childhood big bad…
Or heroes spanning multiple generations.
You could meet stylishly stunning characters…
Or dynamic duos around for laughs…
A historic reinterpretation of a beloved heroine…
Or a classic couples’ cosplay.
There are those who dress up as Wonderlandians from children’s shows…
And princesses with the blood of dragons running through their veins.
The Fire Emblem presence was seriously strong at Anime Expo.
It’s great to see underrepresented classics getting some limelight…
And nostalgic cosplay always brings a smile (Such a cute Surskit!)
We get to see cosplay from current hits involving American magic girls…
And finally, I will leave you with a Snake in a box. Sometimes less is more.
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of cosplay. The possibilities and permutations are simply endless. Until next time, enjoy the rest of your summer and keep you eyes out for my last few cosplay pics next week!
