Finnish cosplayers aren't world class... however it was funny to see how bad general quality of cosplay in united states is. Just go to youtube and watch some of those videos about american cosplayers. They are even worse than these finnish cosplayers... In the other things...

Think how much fun it would be to get with your everyday and blast your way into one of those cosplay events. You would be so much cooler and different looking than the others. And just with your normal everyday clothes. :D

It's a picture of someone doing something for fun and having a good time while doing that.

It's a picture of a happy person.

I did three months of contract work for Nokia in January to March of 2006 onsite. People were very nice to me. I worked hard and yeah, it was dark a lot of the time, but I managed to have a better time than I expected. This is not the usual case for business travel. It was the nice people that made the difference. I was actually sad a bit to go back to the USA.

As for the pictures, OK a few overweight, so what? USA is the fat farm undisputed.

You have a nice country with nice people in it. Go a little easier on yourself and be happier.

Just sayin'...

There are FailPlays in every country, even in Japan. Some of those cosplays weren't that bad, it's just that they weren't japanese and they look "weird" to eyes of japanese. Well, I have to admit that few of those were horrible and made me want to rip my eyes off but hey, it happens.

Go go Finland!

(Allthough I gotta say that I know few of those guys in the pics, and they look very low quality here, but if you give them enough time, right background and atmosphere, You'll be overwhelmed.)

Rest was crap, but hey, if you ever were on a Anicon you know its just pure fun. I think only few of them really try hard to look good, i think they actually just want to be dressed like theit fav. chars.

deathnote ones were nice

And I think that the important think in Cosplay are that, that other cosplayers recognize the character what are you cosplaying ~

So screw you i say ::::DD....and grow older.

1# Are the costumes of the World Cosplay Summit Preliminary Round Finland winners honestly so fail? You have put here some of the best cosplayers in Finland and they totally rock many, many, many other good cosplays from other countries. LOL.

2# Some people do it for fun and they don't even try to be the best, then there is no reason to critisize them. LOL.

3# You haven't even picked the worst Finnish cosplays here. LOL.

4# The Germany not-so-failplay cosplays are even worse. LOL.

5# You have not put here any explenations why they are so fail. LOL.

6# Then why wouldn't you show me one your selfmade better cosplay than any of these? LOL.

7# Tsukicon has nothing to do with the Helsinki Book fair. LOL. Neither with Bakacon. LOL.

8# Many of these costumes are clearly their first-ones. Every first cosplay HAS to look a mess, it's a rule. LOL.

9# As previously said, Tsukicon is a j-rock convention, nothing to do with anime and manga really. LOL.

10# There excists a Finnish not-so-fail-play thing too and the costumes there are as good or as bad as some here. LOL.

...Is this a joke?

what the fuck

There are just as many bad (if not worse) American cosplayers. Japan isn't without shitty wigs, either.

I'd also like to say most of the girls up there really aren't that fat. Some are actually kind of GASP healthy looking. But I suppose someone who has been brainwashed to think anorexia is sexy it's a-ok AMIRITE?
