We see a lot of Star Wars cosplay around these parts. Rarely do we see it done with such artistry and attention to detail.

Cosplay’s Unlikely Anime Bondage Stars

There’s always been a bit of a stigma attached to hentai, a highly sexualised form of Japanese anime and manga. Ditto for any associated cosplay, which can often be explicitly pornographic. Despite this, a German couple is finding some surprising mainstream (for the cosplay world, at least) success combining the two. Because I run our…

Sean Spicer Is A Fan Of Cosplay Conventions

Katsucon, one of the biggest anime and cosplay conventions in the United States, has a surprise fan and former attendee (at least outside the resort): embattled White House press secretary Sean Spicer.

What A Broke-Ass Batman Would Look Like

This is some Batman cosplay with a difference.

Overwatch Cosplay As An Action Movie [Update]

Rather than just standing around lookin’ sharp, these Overwatch cosplayers have gone to the trouble of creating their own little action-packed movie, which plays out kinda like Widowmaker’s official short, only with actual humans.

Once Again, It’s High Noon For Overwatch Cosplay

You don’t see that much McCree cosplay, at least compared to other characters, which combined with how much harder his outfit is to replicate properly than, say, D.Va, is why I like it so much when I do see it This is Polish cosplayer Blink005 chewing tobacco and bending genres as Overwatch’s resident cowboy.

Bioshock Cosplay, Buried At Sea

BioShock Infinite’s Elizabeth is cool, but she’s a lot cooler in the game’s DLC, which explains why so many people are out there doing such a good job cosplaying the character. This is Lunaritie doing a full shoot as the more adult Elizabeth, with photography by Kristy Che I want to party wherever it is…

Eww, Bloodborne Cosplay

The cosplay itself isn’t “eww”. It’s fantastic, with a surprising amount of detail! But there’s just something gross and creepy about seeing Souls/Bloodborne stuff that isn’t heroic knights come to life like this. Which, counter, is entirely the point Chime Maiden cosplay by Shade Cramer. Photos by Vladimir Burykin

I know, 2016 was The Year Of Witcher 3 cosplay. But so was 2015. And so too will 2018. And every year after that, until we sit under the fading trees, all the world changed and the long years of our lives utterly spent. This is T-T-F as Yennefer. Photos by ayashige
