Fanime '11 Cosplay
Not only was this my first time at Fanime, but it
was also my first time at an anime convention. I expected a lot of cosplay, but
I think there was actually more cosplay at Fanime than there was at SDCC, which
is surprising because Famine is much, much smaller than SDCC. I also expected to
see mostly just anime cosplay, but there was cosplay from all over the place
with videogames, comics, movies, pop-culture, and other non-anime properties.
Now, I watch a good amount of anime, but not
enough to know who everyone was. I couldn't tell if all the random Lolis were
just random Lolis or actual characters. If you happen to know what some of them
are, please let me know. As usual, I'm declaring a best dressed female of the
con. This time it goes to the sweet Mad Moxxi from Borderlands.
Borderlands isn't anime, but it is cel-shaded so it works for me. There were
tons of awesome costumes, though. Oddly, there were also a lot of dudes dressed
up like girls. I tried to avoid taking photos of them, but there are a few
within the gallery below. Enjoy the massive gallery.
