COSPLAY, a portmanteau of the English words "costume" and "play", is a Japanese subculture centered on dressing as characters from manga, anime, tokusatsu, and video games, and, less commonly, Japanese live action television shows, fantasy movies, or Japanese pop music bands. However, in some circles, "cosplay" has been expanded to mean simply wearing a costume.....like this one... :flyaway

here comes the million dollar question! :lol:

does she look like yui? :swt









@YUIX
DEAL! :lol:

@br4d137
just found out that she's doing Misha from Pita Ten :swt
(and yes I WILL abduct her if I see her walking around my city :lol: )

frankly speaking, goth style is already incorporated into some of the japanese daily wears. anymore pictures? haha...

Wow, the Jigoku Shoujo one is amazing.

But I am too tramautized by cosplay -.-

I'm still tramautised by the sailormoon one... Think I just choked...

:lol:

Aww man... Damn... She's sooooooooooo cute!!!



@ spica and YUIX: NONONONO... BOTH ARE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (LOL!!! jkjk...) The deals are mine!!! :evil

Has anyone cosplayed before? I think it would be fun to dress up as one of your favourite anime characters and then be bombed if you post it here...our cosplaying skills are..well...Japanese do it better. ^^"

i think this thread has turned from... show cosplay...

to show really cute girls in skimpy clothing... hehe
