Excellent Cosplay This Weekend In Osaka

On Sunday, the streets of Osaka’s geek area Nipponbashi were overrun with cosplayers, photographers, and rubberneckers.

Last year, an estimated 250,000 people showed up. I’m betting even more were on hand this year.

Once again, the cosplay was terrific. (Though, as reader Yotsuba&Tochan points out, there was reportedly an incident with a cosplayer getting groped, which is awful.)

That second to last image isn’t photographer cosplay, but it might as well be.
