So Russians really rock at cos-play.
Damn, Americans need to take lessons for NDK.
indeed
?? Wut? Mother Russia, where's my Suou Pavlichenko?
I was amazed at how good cosplay amounts here could rival even the Japanese comikets.

Suou cosplay from Animatrix
You're an idiot if you think all Americans are terrible and all Russians are good. There's terrible and awesome cosplayers all over the place.
Show me a Zangief cosplayer then i'll be impressed
I was looking for Balalaika.
you're an idiot if you think americans are good at anything and some russians are terrible at cosplay.
Americans are good at liberating the shit out of people.
Mission Accomplished.
Yeah, keep repeating that to yourself and it will became reallity one day, or not.
You mean beating the crap out of them, don't you?
I prefer unadultered expressions.
american are idiots of thinking they are superior.
Americans are idiots.
plain and simple
Generalizing the american as a whole is fucking retarded, do you seriously think everyone here is a white racist power hungry redneck?
Generalizing doesn't mean everyone it just means most.
thanks for getting off topic and turning this nice post into a hate fest. not even 5 seconds into the comments and it's already "america is stupid." as for the people who get offended at these comments, please dont feed the trolls, like im probably doing right now. yes, im an american, and these comments actually dont bother me. i can vouch and say that, yes, americans are idiots. its the truth. but so is the rest of the world. its just that there is a time and place for everything, and nows not the time.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

anyways, back on topic. gotta say, this was some awesome cosplaying. really like the c.c. ones, though 50 was probably my favorite. gotta love russia. russia : where the women are men, and the men are bears.
You do realize that the comment by Anonymous
@ 11:12 19/02/2010 was sarcastic right? God you people are fucking retarded.
Where the women are men and the men are bears? Surely you don't know about those beautiful figure skaters (sans the Japanese cutie competing for Russia) on the Winter Olympics, do you?
Most of the terrible cosplays are from America though.
No way...
I'd so do C.C. and Alicia...
if they were legal, anyway... *cough*
In Soviet Russia, the cosplay wears YOU!
Artefact should really do more of these posts with cosplays from different countries.
I've seen a lot of quality cosplays from Brazil, Mexico, Phillipines...
The lack of tokusatsu cosplays in western countries is very disturbing.
You have obviously not seen shitty cosplays in Japan then, because they are there. You are blinded by over use of Photoshop it seems. The people in other countries simply won't take photos of terrible cosplays that they don't want to photoshop to look better.
Americans could rock too, if 70% of their population wasn't overweight. Blame mcdonalds.
don't forget BK too...
There are so many things i could poke at but i won't even start....
no but damn these guys are really good, i agree everyone has good and bad but these are still pretty damn good
No, actually the difference is costume care. Look at how much effort these ppl put into their work, compared to what you see in the US. Fat or not, attractive or not, to me it's all about how much effort and care you put into it.
I couldn't enjoy looking at this gallery, their huge western noses got in the way. It's distracting.. :<
Last time I checked Russia was part of Asia
Geography Fail.
last time i checked, Russia was in both Europe and Asia :P
sincerely your, Russian Tyan ^^
Yes, _your_ geography. Russia is Eurasia! :-P
Again, why is Europe a continent?If I were to judge by the landmasses, Europe is in Asia XP
Looking at galleries and deciding which country is better at Cosplay is pointless. All these events are different sizes. The larger the event, the more quality costumes there are to highlight.
BTW

First 7 Ghost costume I've seen.
40.
Is that Griffith!?
Awesome.
They all look like dudes to me
Agreed. 026 really caught my attention.
His(her) point stands. All the women may not look the best, but that's some damn fine cosplay. Lots of variety, and generally awesome.
Hah how can you say americans suck at cosplay. Ofc they wont show the shitty cosplayers in this thread. Open your eyes! Theres shtty cosplay everywhere.
Some really good cosplay (and some avg cosplay) from AX '08:

But as for the russkies they all look the same. Noones smiling either or posing at all they're all just standing or looking up. Didin't find any to go gaga over.
Because smiling is overrated.
Pandora Hearts seems to be very popular over there. As well as Hearto no kuni no Alice.
Overall high quality and I don't see any ones that scream PHAIL.
Looks like Sheryl's more popular than Ranka over there.
Only their magnificent ex-President/Prime Minister/future President can pull off the Ranka "Kira, kira" pose...
sheryl is better woman than ranka... why du u think she stays with alto at the end?
Russian cosplay differs from American and Japanese so that people will sew all his own that is doing his own hands all the parts of the costume, and often have to wriggle out of the wealth is not material or cost, if compared to your where you have sewn all the special plants and when you can go into any store with anime paraphernalia and buy there all the clothes and the cost of the costume you have less leaves, but we also have a very steep kspleery such as R&R re doing very high quality cosplay, but the main disadvantage of the Americans and the Japanese is that you are far worse Anime Festivals
Average, but could be much worse. Some fails with fat slavic faces… but not so bad as can be.
(I'm ЯUSSIAИ-speaker, yeah)
I have to agree, as ex Ukrainian, I can confirm that most look like Farm girls and far from pretty by Russian standards.
Fuck standards. Farm girls are way more attractive than what society tells us is attractive. When we succumb to societies standards is to truly give in to a government overlord.
FUCK THE GOVERNMENT WITH YOUR FIST!!!
Is #004 Candy Candy?
Simca is hot.
Lol at Miku-trap.
