The Best of Anime 2013 : Cosplayers Here, There and Everywhere!!!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Cosplay , a portmanteau of the English words costume and play, is an activity in which participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea from a work of fiction or sources that include manga, anime, comic books, video games, and films. Any entity from the real or virtual world that lends itself to dramatic interpretation may be taken up as a subject. Inanimate objects are given anthropomorphic forms and it is not unusual to see genders switched, with women playing male roles and vice versa. There is also a subset of cosplay culture centered on sex appeal, with cosplayers specifically choosing characters that are known for their attractiveness and/or revealing costumes." -Wikipedia excerpt

The gang was all there! They were all so eager and excited to dress up as their favorite anime characters... complete with the moves, the pose, and the attitude!

All male, female and everyone else in between (lol) were flaunting their fabulous outfits depicting popular anime characters that have obviously made an impression on them. Many outfits were customized to fit the cosplayers perfectly and a lot of accessories like weapons, jewelries and other props were amazingly crafted just for events like these.

There were a lot who really spent a fortune in their outfits all for the sake of their love for anime!

It's one of the much-awaited anime event of the year where you'll see a lot of anime-inspired and creatively colorful and ingenious outfits and costumes donned by various otakus of all ages.

It's one of those times of the year when otakus get to bring out their fascination with their favorite anime characters and idols. The imagination breaks lose in all directions and magnitude. Some went all the way to create very expensive outfits and props, while many tried to be resourceful in the materials hey used.
