You thought that I’d skip the cosplay pics? Never!
For those new to this culture, these are not hired professionals. They’re just normal fans who buy/customize their own clothes and wear them to portray an anime/game character. Some of them pursue it as a hobby, others pursue it professionally, with some of them giving out business cards to photographers.
Anyway, will you look at the above FFXIII cosplay?! Isn’t it amazing? Their clothes, facial features even! Lightning and Vanille look especially convincing (hence, yummy). We have come to an age where cosplay debuts before the game does!
I’m leaving for Hakone soon, so I don’t have time to caption all the pics. Those who know, knows. Those who don’t know, too bad :P
Miku seemed a bit bloated up.
Dzaid wore the right shirt at the right time :)
Another superb cosplay. For Ico, to boot. We need more of this and less Cloud Strifes.
A pack of hungry wolves.
Misty grew up.
Strider Hiryu ninjas a photo.
The girl on the left looks like my ex-student Samantha. Somebody, tell her!
Somehow Dzaid seems more Clark-y than the guy next to him.
Rats, forgot to bring my sword.
Two generations of Yuna.
Professor Layton! Don’t you just love it when a gaijin knows exactly what character to cosplay?
In real-life, soldiers shoot with cameras in alert mode.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
So few pictures? hahah…
The doll head cosplays are scary. Is it really catching on in Japan?
This kigurumi culture doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon :(
I imagine a bunch of sweaty guys in those girl outfits…

So Ywei, ever wished that your gf cosplay as well? ;)
Hellooo… I’m Michelle XD I’ve been reading your blog for quite some time (Introduced by JN lol). I realllyy love all your blog posts :) Your photos are always so amazing ^^~ and the cosplays in this post is really awesome too XD
Hi, welcome to the blog! Which JN is this, Jia Ning?
Thanks for the compliments, but they won’t make good pictures and blog posts if the subjects themselves are not interesting :)
Hi Hazmer,
Cool blog! My wife forwarded your link to me as she’s a more regular visitor.
I was TGS last year during one of the business days with her as we were on our honeymoon there. Wish we could go this year as well. Wanted to play all the cool games they have. Especially the upcoming PS3 games, okamiden etc
I think you can also visit during the business days if you like. Just flip out your easyonlygames namecard and they’ll let you in. That way you can avoid the public day’s madness. But ofcourse, the cool cosplays are only out on the public days.
Btw, I dropped you an email in Facebook and in your easyonlygames inbox. Hope to hear from you :)
Nice! Yeah, I was fairly impressed with the fact that the cosplay outfits debut before the game- -or perhaps it’s a clever marketing ploy? (I’ll also be posting a few of my own photos from the Game Show up at http://tcsuliv.aminus3.com/tag/gameshow, if you’re interested!)
