From Creepy To Cute, Cosplay At Wonder Festival

This weekend, the bi-annual Wonder Festival, an event for video game and anime figurines and sculptures, roared through Tokyo. And whenever there’s a nerd gathering, there’s gonna be cosplay.

Sister site Kotaku Japan and website Gigazine were on hand to check out the festivities, the figures, and the costumes.

      This.

      Seriously why do people think that these masks make the costume more complete? Shouldn’t cosplay be about bringing a character to life rather than turning life in to a character?

      Wow. No sleep for me tonight. If you’re going to that kind of trouble, put some makeup on or something but not one of those maks! Burn it with fire.

    I bet Ashcraft finds the anime masks to be the cute cosplay.

    That blonde one with the big sword…. Brings a whole new meaning to fake titties.

    I do not approve.
