Recently we’ve seen an extensive selection of cosplay from various European countries, of quite varying quality; now we are presented with a selection from a South East Asian nation, Malaysia.
The event in question is Comic Fiesta 2008, held at Petaling Jaya near Kuala Lumpur.
As you may have noticed, passing judgment on the efforts of cosplayers is not something I am keen to do (at least not in the capacity of publisher), and frankly in this case there seems to be a wide variety on offer, making it difficult to separate failplay from winplay…
I leave the evaluation to your tender mercies:
This via Himura Kenshin, and Aoshi; view the originating galleries here, here and here.
Extra Malaysian/Singaporean cosplay not from the same event, but interesting all the same:
Compare to the cosplay coming from Finland, Germany and Italy, and of course Japan (not sure why the former Axis Powers are so well represented…).

The Shana one was bad, with the short katana, but nothing compared to Hatsune Miku. I mean, just look at her face!
2008-26.jpg = crossplay = man in female cosplay = TRAP!
The first thing I see in this post is my face. o.O
Because ur Awesome? lol. Anyways looking forward to see your next cosplays :3
*feels pressure* Lolol. xD Okay, I shall do my best!
Isn't that supposed to be good? >:)
It's supposed to be good? XD XD
Oh i attended this event... you must've been there on the second day lol. If not, there's no way you'd miss the cute haruhi cosplayer(she doesn't walk around much) and a weird pikachu girl...
I was too afraid to take photos of man-haruhi.
YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MAN AND JUST DO IT! But goddamn, you just reminded me of the Man-Shinkuu...
*shudders*
The Hatsune Miku cosplayer is ugly.
I cant even go... cuz of work...and finacial problm...
that 's danny? no really... right?
Hmm, that may not be the real Danny Choo in Malaysia, but I've read somewhere that Danny Choo is the son of Jimmy Choo, the famed shoemaker. And Jimmy Choo is most definitely a Malaysian citizen!
You fail
fuck ive always missed the festival..guys help me!when is it this year?date and venue needed please..onegai :D
Beautiful, but that maid is a nopleasethankyou,
Much better than the more recent gathering.
why didnt these guys return this year :P
KRAUSER
they do like macross frontier more
I was there. And I was there last year ('09) too. There was a group of very impressive code geass cosplayers. In 2009, there was a ban on 'pika' vampires (aka Twilight).
omg. the second girl in the picture is my good friend o-o. the one dressed as honna onna ( i think ) from jigoku shoujo. O_O!
That Dannychoo cosplay is wowsome~ He even has a Kagami figma inside his pocket//
That maid cosplayer (above the one with Shana) is really cute,btw..
should have posted the photo of the Odin Sphere group.. they are awesomez !! (especially Gwendolyn) ;D
so many dudes dressing up a girls
you guys are fucking homos
some girls are cute though
Hmm, more winplay than failplay in my opinion. Seems better than most American cosplay, just slightly better than the Europeans, about the same as the Japanese, but I'm wondering if this is representative of Malay (Singaporean) cosplay, or if this is the better stuff.
Yeah, and at least better than Finland.
Malays are not equivalent to Singaporean. malaysia is also not just made up of malays.
Malay is not a shorthand for Malaysian btw. Neither is Malay a shorthand for Singaporean.
i'd say this is the better stuff out of the bunch. Winplay rate at CF08 is up to 60%.
Well, most of the failplay obviously still new into the scene, not having proper props.
*feel free to check my flickr for CF08 and Singaporeans AFA08.
Danny Choo cosplay... I actually missed that.
Hahaha I went there. Wheres the sexy Sheryl Nome?!?! Yuna??
Nevertheless, event was awesome ^^
And yes, I was tricked by the Danny Choo cosplay.......
those are some very impressive cosplays ^^
Some of these seem ok, if you don't look too closely or at the face.
That always seems to be the killer for 3D, at least for me anyway.
I get over it and just scroll down so their face isn't showing, then continue my "business".
ahh amazing danny choo cosplay there!
not the best, come to America we got the whole storm troopers here XD
2008-3 awesome cosplay it seems takes straight from a movie...
And it seems chinese mmorpg games(i'm guessing source) have heavily detailed costumes.
Please note that the photo of the person with the stormtrooper helmet IS NOT Danny Choo.
Lol... I'm also think he is danny choo when first time meet him at Comic Fiesta...
And an extra note... the extra Malaysian cosplays are a mix of Singaporean and Malaysian group shots from Anime Fest Asia 2008
erm from, http://www.sankakucomplex.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/27839__448x_malaysiageneralcosplay-1.jpg onwards i believe is singaporean cosplay X_X. Thats Suntec City right there
for some reason they look better than the japanese or any cosplayers in any country
well there were some good cosplays at some point but a lot of them were trying to hard to cosplay them and some are just ugly and fat
still reminds me though of the last anime convention people thought that i was in cosplay with my regular spring clothes of black t-shirt,black cargo pants, black sweater and black shoes...practically i was wearing my normal black cloths cause i dont need to coordinate with my style and people thought i was cosplaying somebody made me laugh though
I hope I can participate in this xD
wow..... that's very impressive.
huhu....
hope I can go to one of those event and take a lot of picture.
as a malaysian, I'm left speechless.
and speaking of malays, I have yet to see a malay person cosplaying. but considering that we're brown and most anime/video game characters are either caucasian or at least fair skinned, not much option there I suppose.
did you check out the xmorfis WOTA guys?
100% malay
There were 85% Chinese, 13% Malays and 2% others who were cosplaying that day.
well we have to keep in mind too that some should never cosplay . . . (*refers to failplay)
No pics of that great Gwendolyn (Odin Sphere) cosplayer?
She looked HOT.
Here's the one that shin mentioned

That is one ugly Hatsune Miku.
Agree. That is ugly.
No doubt about that
