Anime Expo 2011 has brought with it a wealth of the best cosplay the USA has to offer, such as it is, and 2ch is on hand to admiringly present its favourites and marvel at what it is that makes foreigners such good cosplayers…
Some of 2ch’s picks (including a slew from Ascii):
2ch’s response to the cosplay is along “anime characters are white and so only whites can cosplay properly” lines:
“I’m so glad they love Japan this much!”
“When Japanese cosplay there are a lot of creepy ones, but with foreigners they really jump out at you. Anime characters just don’t look like Japanese.”
“The reason foreigners are so suited to cosplay is because Japanese anime and manga characters are closer to whites. Although a lot of people are desperate to deny manga and anime characters are white…”
“It’s nothing to do with race, it’s a question of figure. If they were tall and had long legs Japanese would be suited to cosplay too.”
“It’s a pity Japanese have such stubby little legs. Although Japanese are better when it comes to cosplaying little girls.”
“You guys love whites, don’t you?”
“Well, with whites Europeans are best. It’s a question of taste.”
“America and Europe are the same though!”
“If a European heard you say that they’d go spare!”
“Take your pick – from a European cosplay event [Japan Expo in Paris] on the same weekend:”
“Americans are basically mostly fat. I get the feeling there are still plenty of Europeans with more masculine features.”
“Whites aren’t a single race either, are they?”
“Fourth from the right – observe!”
“What is Hiroyuki doing there!” [NB: Hiroyuki is the founder of 2ch]
“Rin-chan is cute!”

“It’s a pity Japanese have such stubby little legs. Although Japanese are better when it comes to cosplaying little girls.”
lolwut
Some of these were so bad x.x
But Minecraft Cosplay FTW
Nyan Cat cosplay FTW too!
I fucking despise the fact that Nyan Cat got famous for adding a gif and Utaloid voice to daniwell-P's song. Mostly because newfags don't know where it originally came from and think it's original.
/rant
Holy shit I totally agree. I rage deep inside my soul whenever I see nyan cat or other people talking about it.
Most of the cosplayers are men. And they aren't model type. Sooo... the only good thing about it is their enthusiasm. ^_^
Main thing is they're having fun, right?
No. How can you have fun when your costume looks like it's been run over by freeway traffic for hours?
Here here! :D
they were all crap, so when are the good ones going to be shown
I'm really just not seeing all the terrible cosplay everyone is talking about.
Are you blind or is it brain damage?
Anon 02:19:- your the only blind and brain damage one here, some cosplay were awesome.
Bad taste must be contagious. I hope I don't catch it.
That's a very nice everything you have there. It would be a s-s-s-s-shame if s-s-s-s-something happen-s-s-s-s to it...
Nice cosplay you have there, it's a shame if you're ugly... OH SHI- BOOM
Don't like 'em. 0% Moe.
Pic 47 XDDDDD
I can't really agree with the notion that all American girls are fat. You see a whole modern movement with the fitness revolution in the past decade and going to public gyms is a chore since it's a tidal wave of girls trying to join a class or just work out there.
And LOVE the guy in the tank (I think it's the Advance Wars tank?). Creative ones are the best (plus the sexy of course!)
you seem to be everywhere
I rofl a lot at #73
027 - Haruhi stole Botan from Kyou?! D:<

This anon always thought Japanese are better at cosplaying... turn out they think otherwise...
Haha, most of it was awesome. >.<
Wish I can go there someday.
“Americans are basically mostly fat. I get the feeling there are still plenty of Europeans with more masculine features.”
There are just as many fat europeans, trust me on that one.
Americans are more than just white people. There's those of european descent, mexicans, and us awesome asians.
lol chuck norris and armstrong needs sparkle.
they must have stank in those costumes, is was 100 degrees in los angeles during the expo
#17, lol kyuubey searching for contract
Awesome! I really like the buff dude from full metal alchemist... i forgot his name.
anyhooos. there's a crap load of images from anime expo here that i saw: http://www.critiques4geeks.com/media/gallery/image-gallery-anime-expo-2011/
white people in cosplay don't look THAT bad. some look better than asians
These pictures are WAY better than what's posted on sankaku

HOTTEST GIRL AT AX
If anyone Watched the niconico livestream, many of theese cosplayers walked up and got intervued.
alot of them where traps.
lots and lots of traps.
Traps, eh?
Go on...
Yes, you don't need an interview to notice. It's only a trap if it's not obvious. A flashing neon sign over a hole in the ground doesn't make it a trap.
Haha I remember seeing the penguin costume girl (#21) on live. The only host that can speak semi-decent English went on break so the two remaining were trying to ask her stuff but completely wrong xD
The poor girls goes on trying to fall over to see if she could get up or not.
I don't get why people always say only Japanese people can cosplay or in this case foreigners. As long as you can pull off the cosplay, nationality shouldn't change that fact.
Aye.
And this Armstrong proves it all.

Bestest Armstrong.
Foreigners suck at cosplaying, you are the only one who didn't know that. But now you know it.
And that's why they foreigners actually won the 2011 World Cosplay Summit that ... Oh wait!?
The actual results:
1. Italy : 98 pts
2. Tailand : 97.5 pts
3.Brazil : 97 pts
4. South Korea & France : 90 pts
6.China : 83 pts
7.Spain 81 pts
8. Japan : 80 pts
9. Denemark : 79 pts
10. Australia : 78 pts
11. USA : 77 pts
12. Singapur : 75 pts
13. Mexico : 74 pts
14. Germany : 67 pts
15. Finland : 61 pts
Yeah, foreigners can't cosplay...
that is judged based on costumes mostly. reagrding the facial cuteness, asian are mostly always better. Asian girls are youthful compared to Caucasian girls. Just saying.
Brazil placing third.
And I bet everyone reading this blog, everyone in /a/ and everyone in 2ch thinks Brazil is a violent niggerland, that would never try cosplaying.
The same goes for Tailand.
thats called personal/own opinion.....
LoL you fail. That was 2010.
2011 WCS isn't even started.
You need to specify. You can be a foreigner to me depending where you're from.

Take that.
I almost went this year but got lazy and hung out in Little Tokyo. It's no fun when your friends can't go. And oh, look. My Ciel outfit second from bottom.
Minecraft, Portal and Nyan Cat
Personal highlights :3
Candy Wife from Flapjack??? Color me surprised.
Anyways, great stuff. Wished the NanoFei cosplayers cosplayed as their loli forms instead.
