Best Cosplay Costume

[Gray]

Post the best Cosplay you have ever seen. Well....i guess seen...as in pictures or something. Bonus points if its a picture of yourself.

[FURUBA4EVER]

Best cosplay I've seen:

Sasuke from Naruto:

Cosplay of Orochimaru from Naruto:
http://xs23.xs.to/pics/05140/oroti3.jpg

Cosplay of Haku from Naruto:
http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v291/hatake_kakashi/haku.jpg

Cosplay of Rosette from Chrno Crusade:

And Jan Kurotaki for the win as Kurapika from Hunter x Hunter:
http://www.truyentranh.com/news/var/news/storage/images/media/images/kura1__1/725-1-eng-GB/kura1.jpg

(A lot of Jan's costumes are really beautiful and unique, though. Btw, she has an article featured in every issue of Newtype USA.)

I couldn't post any cosplay of myself because...I've never cosplayed! I'm more of an observer, though, so I enjoy admiring other people for cosplaying as their favorite characters. ^^ (I love cosplay...especially cosplayers of the Naruto characters...)

[FLCL_]

I think this one is great,I like the Zora one, but I love FullMetal Alchemist ^_~, also because they are twins...it's just so cool, best one I have see in my opinion ^_^

[Animematt55]

anyone got any amatur cosplay? not professional japanese models.

[HELLFISH88]

Kanti Cosplay> all the rest.

[YaoiItsumoZutto]

I saw this really good Ed at AX, done by a girl whose user name is Sana-chan on cosplaylab.com. Also, the girls from KM are simply the best YnM cosplayers I've ever seen.

[KVN]

I'm by no means any sort of connoiseur, but the pics on Firefly-Path (http://www.firefly-path.com/cosplay.php) are simply phenomenal! :O

There are countless examples of better quaility costumes, but I love this for it's sheer brilliance in stupidity.

[KVN]

:drool:

It doesn't matter who she is... she's cute. :thumbsup:

[quantumkid]

It doesn't matter who she is... she's cute. :thumbsup:

Agreed. :P

[YaoiItsumoZutto]

That Riku's pretty well done.

[quantumkid]

I love this one.

It just so happens--and I'm not kidding--the guy in the middle is the former president of Taiwan, Lee Teng-hui.

[Tiiba]

No pics, but I saw a Tachikoma at Anime North 2005. That was cool.

[Gray]

wow that would have to pretty elaborate! was it the whole thing? or a suit. i mean the wheels, control pod on the back, arms?

[Tiiba]

Well, I didn't get that good a look.

I think this might be it, but I'm not totally sure this is the one. I don't remember an umbrella being part of the costume.

[Gray]

well thats pretty good none the less.

Super costumes!

[KVN]

We have a winner: http://www.marksprojects.com/costumestrans.htm

Despite my penchant for the more revealing female costumes, I have to admit that fully transformable Transformers costumes really do take the cake.

Wow -_-;
Agreed, cynically, agreed ^_^ But it's still pretty cool :D

[KVN]

The only thing I wonder is... at what point does the person who's laying face-down on the floor being to think "maybe this wasn't such a great idea..."

[quaze6]

reading this thread, i notice that when it comes to cosplaying,the japanese dont **** around

[Animegrl/Parnaz]

The reason why the japanese cosplayers have great costumes is their costumes are most of the time professionally made for them.

[Gray]

yea i agree^ i bet that cost a ****load of money though! hmmmm..... next year i might invest..... ^_^

[blinkgene]

where is the next cosplay is it in engalnd?

[spookyruthy]

Are you from England yourself? Because the next proper convention over here would be Aya-con, then Minami-con and then the rest are smaller conventions that are run by independant companies.

[spookyruthy]

Saying that, Fred who draws Megatokyo comes to Minami-con quite often if you were interested...

[blinkgene]

yer i am from england i really really wanna go to one of these cos play things it would be a first time for me :D but if i were to go i would have to go as Waka from ff10 :P do you have any of the dates for these?

[spookyruthy]

Uhm...well, do you have anyone to go in a group with you? If you're going to go as someone from a group of fighters, you should try to get some others to dress up as Tidus and the rest...

Ooh....the website for Minami-con is http://www.minamicon.org.uk/
And the website for Aya-con is http://www.ayacon.org.uk/

It would probably be a good idea for you to try and hook up with some others that are going to go and see if you can get a cosplay group going :D

[spookyruthy]

I must add, don't worry about going, everyone is normally very nice, and they always organise places to stay in the place where the event is being held, and if there isn't enough space, they always recommend accomodation near to the convention :)

[blinkgene]

hey thanks for the advice yer i think i may be able to get a few more people to come i hope :P ill probably end up going to the minami com thing in southampton probably miles away from me but hey it be a laugh :P do you think any of you people will end up going that is if you livein england :P

[spookyruthy]

I normally go anyway because I know all the organisers. So if you see a girl with red hair that's short and messy, that's me!

If you wanted to put together a FF10 group, then I'd be interested in joining you, but because my Uni course is quite demanding, I'd have to check to see if I could go! I wouldn't want to stand you guys up or anything :)

[blinkgene]

lol ill have to see if i am able to go with people the trouble is there is a waiting list :( and i dont no how much it is to get in

[quantumkid]

Best Witch Hunter Robin I've ever seen. This girl herself is breathtaking. I love her hair immensely. She reminds me of something out of a Tim Burton movie. Her body proportions are dead on too, very tall and spindly like many anime girls are.

http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/4454/robin2bw.jpg (http://img205.imageshack.us/my.php?image=robin2bw.jpg)

[Animexcel]

I've seen her before in person, someone said she looked like winona ryder.
she's not that tall actually.

[spookyruthy]

Is she relatively famous then, is that why she is well-known? Ooh, and btw, that dress is amazing.

[Alexei]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v215/cottontail777/nu/1112721855313.jpg

This person put alot of time into this one.

[KVN]

she's not that tall actually.

Height in photographs is relative to how the pic is taken... a good snapper can make a person look a lot taller than reality. (Mind you, there are other factors... body proportions, attire, etc.)

(Edit: Forgot to add... that girl is gorgeous!)

[spookyruthy]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v215/cottontail777/nu/1112721855313.jpg

This person put alot of time into this one.
That is AMAZING. I do a construction course, and I can't even begin to imagine how they made it look so real.

[blinkgene]

flip how much would it cost to get that sorta costume loads me thinks it looks awesome and how they made it i have no idea with alot of time :P

[Gray]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v215/cottontail777/nu/1112721855313.jpg

they probably bought it custom made. Lord Canti still rules though

[quantumkid]

She is actually. One of the most famous cosplayers in the business. She's been at two cons I went to before.

[Animexcel]

she's also starring in an independent movie called busgirl

[Animexcel]

[KVN]

You should post a pic...

[wasabigirl1000]

there was a REALLY good Edward Scissorhands (not anime, but w/e) at AnimeBoston this past April.

That Lulu is an EXTREMELY close runner up to the Rikku costume. I think Rikku wins because she is more scantily clad, though. *drool*

[Suki]

Rofl, she's crossplaying. She's supposed to crossplay Athrun Zala.

[genmaru]

Okay, so no one can even touch the Vash the Tentacle. This guy has been doing the tentacle cosplay for a while (it's from the game Day of the Tentacle). But it was just amazing when he was cosplaying the Tentacle... cosplaying as Vash the Stampede. Seriously, yo.

It's cloud's swords from FFIIV: Advent Children

[Animexcel]

hahahaa VII that is.
"The sword is made of a combination of wood, plastic corrugated board, PVC, metal & craft foam...
However, after making around 85%...I realised I made some mistakes in the combining, details, thickness, colour....."

I was waiting to see if someone had posted a picture of this cosplayer yet (and was going to post one myself if no one had). If that cosplayer wasn't already a legend for his trademark purple tentacle costume, then Vash the Tentacle just put him on the path to stardom. :lol:

Some of those other costumes are absolutely amazing--and so convincingly realistic (in terms of resembling the actual character)! :O

I have seen tons of excellent cosplay costumes, but most of them would take me forever to find (and in the case of some, I didn't even know what series the characters were from!). But here is one that I managed to find:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/4Tatsu-hime1999/VaporeonFlareonJolteon.jpg
Not only were these costumes very well done (it may be hard to tell, but the Flareon costume is actually fuzzy, and Vaporeon's tail stretched out behind the cosplayer; she was constantly forced to hold it), but I think these people should win a prize for being the only Pokémon cosplayers I have ever come across who did not get mobbed by the anti-Pokémon crowd.

[Animematt55]

^ ummm. SHE didnt make those shoes. Those are professional models PAID to dress up like that and pose for pictures. mainly more professional pictures are taken.
They are also made by professional costume makers.


RIKKU has nice knives though

I'd pay her to dress up for me.

I've also seen better knives than the ones in that pic...

Fran's costume is AMAZING, too bad about the ears, but that's part of the charrie....

[GreatNekoKoneko]

i think the ears were fine. do you know how hard it is to hold those suckers up?

[Reidar.]

This doesn't count as anime, but this Master Chief cosplayer is amazing.

That guy is absolutely breath-taking (his costume, not him)...You know I would love to see some Halo 2 cosplay....I love that game...

[FURUBA4EVER]

I was browsing through cosplay.com this afternoon...and I came across Ouran cosplay. (!!! :O)

After browsing through the thread...I saw a pic of two twin cosplayers who cosplayed as the Hitachiin brothers (Hikaru and Kaoru). Their cosplay was just too great to pass by, so I decided to post one of their pics here. (They're female, though...but they're still great anyway. First time I've seen cosplay of the Hitachiin brothers.)

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f381/Furuba-chan/770579.jpg

One word: awesome. :)

(It was post-worthy...most definitely. XD)

[hiei_kurama27]

^That is awesome. X3

There are so many great cosplays around. Here are a couple from my favorites folder on cosplay.com...

^ Those were all great! :O The Matsuda cosplay picture was hilarious (because of the clipboard) and very accurate to the character. But...above all, those Hisoka pics...wow. Just...wow. :)

As for the other ones...they were great too. XD (I <3 cosplay photos. :P)

[DazzleKitty]

I think this group who cosplayed Gankutsuou did an amazing job.

Well, this thread title just says "best costume", not distinguishing between professionals and any other folks. I guess it's not that hard to tell between the two for the most part.
yea, ive been looking for some good captain harlock cosplayers, but it turns out im really the only one in america who likes the pirate lol
Nah, I like him too. A good cosplay of him would put a smilie on my face for a long time...

Why real cosplayers suck 90% of the time.

i heard of a guy dressed as doc ido from battle angel alita having a weapon that could shoot out steam. now thats freaking awesome

but i have to say this. dont dress as rei ayanami if you look like youve eaten three of her clones. spandex are a right, NOT A PRIVILEGE!!!

You mean Himura Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin? Rather than looking for a pattern for his entire costume, it's easier to look for patterns for the individual articles of clothing. Kenshin wears a man's kimono underneath hakama (Japanese pants). (He also wears a juban - an underkimono, like an undershirt - but you don't have to make that. You can get away with sewing a piece of white cloth to the collar of the kimono.) http://www.japanesekimono.com/index.htm

Here are some websites I found that offer free patterns for kimono and hakama. You'll want to do more research on your own; I'm not including every website that came up in my search.

Kimono pattern - http://www.geocities.com/athens/troy/5187/kimono.html

are there any pics floating around out there of this awsome Guyver cosplayer I've seen and heard about. he hand made such a detailed suit it's so amazing. if there are no pics check out the "Guyver Interview" on DVD dojo video podcast available through iTunes.

[Umisha- Naruto]

^ ummm. SHE didnt make those shoes. Those are professional models PAID to dress up like that and pose for pictures. mainly more professional pictures are taken.
They are also made by professional costume makers.


RIKKU has nice knives though

I know, and where are the real copslayers? I'm gonna cosplay Naruto with a friend of mine, who is gonna cosplay Neji, and there are so many professional models, but only a few actual copslayer....
It's a nice Rikku though..... I like the suit really bad!

I actually did my first cosplay a week or so ago--I did Ed Elric. I didn't have any automail, but I think I got the costume fairly down. I don't have it posted on a site yet, though.

[Yukito Kunisaki]

I have seen a few, but the best one I have seen myself at a con was a With from DNAngel:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y45/Ryoshimaru/Conventions/Anime%20Boston%202007/DSC00998.jpg

Original Idea, Very well made and In character

She was at Animeboston 2007. When I asked for her picture, she had a very cute voice too trying to fit the character. I was very pleased, haha.

Oh, and also, a cosplay of my favorite VK band, Psycho Le Cemu:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y45/Ryoshimaru/Conventions/Anime%20Boston%202007/DSC00982.jpg

I was stunned. It is just a shame non could pull of Lida though because his costume was all spiky and the such.

ok i was there and i dont remember seeing any Di Gi Charat cosplays. but there were so many people that just looking for one cosplay is practically impossible. plus theres the fact of people changing cosplays sometimes two times a day.

whats VK? Visual...something? hey wait is that the source of the anime title Visual Kei? gotta be.

Yes, VK stands for Visual Kei, or Visual Rock, or Visual Style.

A few examples:

Malice Mizer
Dir en Grey (back in the day)
Psycho le Cemu
Vidoll
Girugamesh
Kaggra

[Caster13]

i thought Kei was a person. well i learned something new. im pretty sure this is the Japanese equivalent of glam rock.....oh how i HATE GLAM ROCK:mad:

and now comes the Ganguro related pics.
