If anyone recognized Wayne and Garthe you're too old.......just like ME!
We're not worthy!
I recognized the Barf cosplays.... I'm pretty sure Spaceballs is older and less well known then Waynes World.
Maybe in the USA, but in the rest of the world Spaceballs, comes on top.
I am so glad i am not the only one who got from where are this cosplays coming from, a lot of 80's stuff. Ghost,Busters, Spaceballs, Conan, woo those were cool flicks!
I highly doubt this will get any praise from the Japanese. I imagine it will mostly be comments wondering why Americans are so fat/ugly, why the costumes are so bad, who most of the characters are, and why the attractive females aren't more scantily clad.
Huge difference between the people cosplaying in the above pictures as a hobby and the japanese (semi-)professional models doing their generic pose routines in their 10k outfits.
Tbh, I enjoyed these much more since some of them were actually funny and even the good ones looked like they were the result of that person's efforts.
10k outfits? You must be exagerating by a factor of magnitude.
10k? no way specially since most are bikinies.
10k Yen not 10k USD.
Could also be misinterpreted as the quantity of outfits.
Sure, westerners can cosplay... Just, not these ones...
Too many horror scenes in a single post.
Pic #2 should've cosplayed Will Smith Deadshot instead.
whoa that pink ranger is stacked :)
The poster in the background of panel 39 is funny.
I'm pretty sure that if you do such cosplay exposing your nipples format you pretty much want give your ass out there cause jesus christ it might be more heavy than the kill la kill cosplays
I am impressed, many good and cool, beautiful ones
Surprised they're not all fat.
Americans cosplay marvel and dc and starwars very good. As it is mostly males. Very few American women can pull off loli dfc tsundere imoutos. Just like very few Japanese men can do American superheros
That is because westerners generally have bigger body builds or you could translate that into bigger bone mass. However, only a handful of the males depicted here is lean (far from muscular) Women from the west also has bigger builds and heights than their eastern counterpart, unless very young girls is cosplaying the likes of loli, tsundere or imouto etc, but isn't practical since cosplay rarely involves children.
They even have Love Live! cosplayers here!
Holy shit that The Warriors cosplay, fat Ajax! ^_^
The only ones that caught my attention, are the turd/shit, I have no idea from what series is that turd from, the kid dressed as iron man, but that looks as if he wants out of all that, and the guy that looks like Conan was cool too.
Terribly amateur photography makes the decent to good cosplay look worse. Don't get all the weeaboo comments about the quality of cosplay compared to Japan... Japanese cosplay in general isn't anymore impressive. The best cosplayers and prop builders aren't in Japan. Most of them are here in the states. Stop being blind idiots and see the truth of things for once...
Seeings How We In The USA have been cosplaying way longer than japan ever has........
This is true. The first time recognizable cosplay occurred in conjunction with conventions was probably at the first World Science Fiction Convention in 1939. Forrest J Ackerman dressed up as a "futureman" for the event. (The costume appears to have been based on costumes in the movie Things to Come, bringing cosplay roots all the way back to H. G. Wells). The Japanese probably did not do cosplay in any appreciable way until Nobuyuki Takahashi saw it being done at the World Science Fiction Convention in 1984. There are a number of articles online about this.
That being said, I think Japan has perfected the art.
Not perfected. Whites start out looking much closer than anime couterparts. Big colored eyes and hair with white skin. Real Japs just can't compete without looking so fake.
@22:36 the person above is probably referring to cosplaying by pros, what is depicted here is just common folks with mediocre skills doing it for sake of the event, rarely as a hobby.
Yeah, "big colored eyes" only applies when anyone regardless of races is indoors(which is the case in this list of pic), or are you being delusional that people can open their eyes wide when exposed to strong sunlight? Big eyes indeed, never been to da beach before?
NO they can't 0_0
Okay. Now let's look at some pros. http://cosplay.kotaku.com/some-excellent-new-york-comic-con-cosplay-1736388069
Might even check this vid. Those cosplays are awesome

I'd eat Mary Jane's (67) shit, and let Harley Quinn (139) piss all over my mouth. I'd rim job them both, and let them finger my ass.
By the way was MJ pantsu less? oh, i have a dirty mind because the pic makes me think that.
Holy crap, most of the people in these pictures are actually not fat!
I must have gotten a different set of pictures
it's called fat o vision, when all are fat, they no longer look that fat.
I want to say something positive and encouraging.... but after scrolling through....I think I'm too damn traumatized to even attempt it.
a friend of mine goes every year, ive gone twice. both times i couldnt really figure out why anyone would bother wasting money going in the first place.
here in north america we already have a day every year to laugh at fat people in poorly made costumes, its called halloween. far cheaper and its the same shit.
no no this is a day for the them to get together as giant children and waste money
Or, you know, attend the con's panels and meet the special guests attending.
Shhh, they don't know about that.
Catwoman in pic 24 could sit on my face.
Something about a curvy plus size catwoman is rather appealing.
Definitely. Her tits are huge.
The scantily-clad, pink-haired, tatted-up, fishnet-wearing, busty with erect nipples girl (aka #73) gets my vote...
...and my erection.
and later on women will complaint all around the internet that they are sexually harassed at cons.
wish i had that pic when the subject was discussed at
a comics blog.
Ew her face isn't even attractive- and she's fat.
we've got a gay here kill it!
Plenty of cosplayers went with the good old "Jabba the Hut cosplaying as something else" motif, I see.
ohh, it's Jabba! i thought it was a turd!
how could you miss the 9 foot hulk buster outfit.....it's the western version of the gundam outfits we see from comiket,lol

please! how can you compare that to Gundam, for starters most Iron Man outfits have developed in last decades from ripping of Gundam, just see the Ultimates comics.
