Cosplay is about love — love of a particular work or love of a specific character. Recently on Twitter in Japan, cosplayers have been comparing their cosplay pics with the original source material they brought to life.

As noted on Ameba News, cosplayers have been using the hashtag #原作の隣に自分のコスを貼る, which translates to “Putting my cosplay next to the original work.” If you’ve looked at cosplay photos in the past, oh, decade or so or more, you’ve seen similar comparisons.
What makes this interesting is that this Twitter hashtag is a trend among Japanese cosplayers and provides a terrific opportunity to see just how well their costumes and poses compare to the source material.

Most of them a quite good. I love the Noel one, couldn’t help but laugh at the last pair.
Seriously, the last one? I don’t know which one is the real one!
The right one, there’s goosebumps on the butt 😛
In the words of the great Quagmire: “I like where this is headed!” 😉
The eyes give it away.. makes me want to rewatch the movie though.
The left one has an incredible butt 😉
A butt that nice has to be fake, so the right one is the cosplay 😛
Lol, the last one seems to have become confused getting dressed and put his underpants on his face instead of his backside.
