Fanime '12 Cosplay
There was so much cosplay at Fanime this year.
Last year's cosplay gallery was huge, but this one is even bigger. There were a
lot of fantastic costumes this year. The work put into some of these costumes is
staggering. Some of the best were the Warhammer 40K Space Marine, the dude in
the Zaku, and a group of awesome Mortal Kombat cosplayers. For best girl I'll go
with Commander Shepard. There were two, but I can't decide which one I like
more. The most original costumes were the girl in the Amaterasu costume and
Pyramid Head Sailor Moon. Oh, and Celty on a tiny motorcycle makes for some
hilarity. Unfortunately, there were a lot of costumes that I didn't know what
they were, so if you know what they are, please let me know. As always, click
the pics to make them big.

This is
Commander Shepard's favorite cosplay of Fanime. |
Or is this

maybe this one? |
Yes, her
High School of the Dead costume had some fan-service. |
