  • Oh, and cosplayers don't have to be asian. Unless you're a perfectionist cosplayer and the anime you like firmly states it takes place in Japan with Japanese people, like Durarara!!, then you can be any enthicity. Like in Hetalia, they are all of different nationalities but all in the same anime style. So, if Japan is in anime style and is Japanese, then because Italy is in anime style he is asian, too? Nope! Could be anything~~

  • Okay, guys, Cosplay is not really "all about" anything. People have different interpretations of it, so it has no real dictionary meaning. Some people cosplay for fun, because they like that character and want other people to see that. Others cosplay because they want to really "bring that character to life" and try to make it perfect. There's lots of reasons to cosplay, and no one should ever judge eachother on it. Anyone can do it for whatever reason! oh and Hetalia ftw...//shot

  • i'm so tired of seeing girls cosplay as guy characters: first of all you can obviously tell it's a girl, secondly, it doesn't feel like the real character when a girl dresses as a guy, thirdly, it would be MUCH more impressive to see a guy successfully pull it off, because even though in anime and manga they may look like girls, they are NOT girls. They're supposed to be guys, pretty guys, NOT pretty girls.

  • @tkunnnn not all of them. some do that

  • Just so you know, my dear friends, here in Sweden the SD ( Sverige Demokraterna ) are the 'lords' if I can say so, and they say that I am Japannese 'couse I LOVE Japan, soooooo, EAT THAT YOUR FUCKING BITCHES! ^^

    Am I good at cosplay now?!

  • Funny how the worst cosplay videos are all westerners and the best are always asian. TAKE THE HINT!!

  • @Arriss3 Hey, there are some REALLY good western cosplayers and some REALLY bad Asian cosplayers. And who won the World Cosplay Summit this year? Brazil. Followed by Italy.

  • @kurayamidesu

    There are some REALLY stupid people too. Unlike the characters in this video that Brazilian man dressed up as a character from FF who has western physical traits. Its not like a Brazilian man was trying to cosplay naruto like what happens 80% of the time. Funny how you forgot to mention china got third place....hehe

  • @Arriss3 But you can't say all those stupid people cosplaying are westerners. And cosplay, as it stands for "costume play", is about the costume. It doesn't matter what physical traits a character has. If the costume is good, it's a good cosplay.

  • @kurayamidesu

    No! It isn't only about the costume. What does the costume justice is if you fit the role of the character. So if you were trying to cosplay as wonder woman, but you are black it would not work. Same thing goes for westerners cosplaying anime characters. If you want it to look good, you cosplay as a character that has similar features.

  • @Arriss3 First of all, the purpose of cosplay is not to show off how much you can look like the character. It's to have fun cosplaying as the character unless you are cosplaying specifically for the purpose of perfection. Secondly, what about anime characters that aren't even asian? Such as most of the characters in Fullmetal Alchemist. Edward Elric has blonde hair and blue eyes and is obviously not Asian. Asians aren't perfect.

  • @kurayamidesu

    Cosplaying is about making the character come to life. -_- if you look nothing like the character you fail at doing so. Secondly, Ed was gold hair and gold eyes you fucking idiot. >.< If you were to actually look passed hair and eye color you can see structure of the face is based of Asians. Lastly, I never said Asians were perfect. -_-''

  • @Arriss3 true, but it is possible for people of other races to pull it off, regardless of race. if they get the feel of the character down, they can pull off the character. also, the races of a lot of characters isn't really mentioned much, but yes it is presumably asian based on the names and where they're from BUT if you have the facial features you can pull off the character no matter what race you are. Also, a lot of characters tend to have big round eyes, which a lot of asians dont have.

  • @Arriss3 and the structure of the face is not necessarily based on asians, most anime characters have a face that can be portrayed by multiple races. for instance if an anime character has big eyes, a short nose and full lips, then someone who has those features or similar features can pull it off regardless of race.

  • @XxpsychokittydxX

    i deeply suggest you watch youtu.be/JKTvFhRbBt8, this video will do a great job to abolish that ignorance you have. It does a great job to eliminate american based stereo types to show you how and why anime and manga characters look the way they do.

  • @Arriss3 did you not read what i fucking wrote? how am i being ignorant when i'm being open minded? besides do you not realize that a lot of manga/anime characters aren't even meant to be asian, like the characters in black butler or pandora hearts? AND have you NOT noticed how busty these anime girls are? rarely do i ever see asian people who are that curvy.

  • @Arriss3 besides, i never said that anime characters look white, to me they look racially ambiguous, and that is why i think many races can pull them off, because those anime features appear in mostly EVERY race.

  • @Arriss3 all im saying is that a person of any race can pull off a cosplay if they look like the character. that is it. i didn't make any stereotypical assumptions or whatever else you're trying to say about me, i'm just saying that no race is necessarily superior when it comes to cosplay because there are bad and good cosplayers in all races.

  • @Arriss3 basically i was agreeing with you, so i don't see why you felt the need to insult my intelligence or awareness of anime.

  • @XxpsychokittydxX

    did you read what you wrote? Did you watch that video? I really am tired of correcting you and you blatantly ignoring it. I'm not saying that no person can pull it off, Im saying you need features similar to those of an Asian and providing you evidence with why.

  • @Arriss3 and that is exactly what i wrote to you just in different wording. ill even quote myself: "if you have the facial features you can pull off the character no matter what race you are" basically that means that yes you need features similar to asians (or similar to whatever character you're cosplaying), but that you don't neccessarily need to BE asian. all i said is that, YES THOSE FEATURES ARE COMMON IN ASIANS, but they ALSO happen in other races too.

  • @Arriss3 stop trying so hard to put me down and actually LOOK at what i wrote to you! i AGREED with you. i'm just adding the point that you don't HAVE to be asian to have asian features, and that not all anime characters are based on asians. sure maybe most of them are but there is a percentage of characters that aren't.

  • @XxpsychokittydxX

    You are very contrary,I do hope you took the time to watch that video. It will honestly help you smooth out your argument. It's w.e.

  • @Arriss3 and yes i did watch and comprehend the video, okay? i understand the point you're making and i'm NOT disagreeing with you. the only thing i disagree about is the statement that most of the body types are common with asians because it's not very common (at least in my experiences) to see asian girls that are super busty. most of the time they're pretty slim. sure, some of them are curvy but it's not as common as they make it out to be in anime/manga.

  • @XxpsychokittydxX

    ok well now that you actually give me something to go off of. This is why I called you ignorant. Cartoons in every culture are exaggerated. Look at family guy, their eyes are huge, much bigger than ours in real life and they live in a house far to big for a family with only one person working can afford. also with obesity being so high this country why is there only a fraction of characters in our cartoons that are so.

  • @Arriss3 one person working on minimum wage**

  • @Arriss3 and that's the reason why i said they looked kinda ambiguous to me because the exaggeration takes away from the ethnic features in a way. i mean big eyes, small nose and smallish lips is open to a lot of ethnic interpretation. especially in moe and chibi style anime/manga. i can tell they're supposed to be asian because of my experience with manga culture, but at the same time, i can also see why someone would think otherwise.

  • @XxpsychokittydxX Not saying the characters don't look Asian, just saying that a non Asian person could also look like the character. I've seen people of multiple different races who look Asian or have similar features to an Asian but aren't Asian at all. So basically someone who has those features could do a cosplay of an Asian character successfully too.

  • @Arriss3 yes because cartoons tend to be modeled after an cultural ideal for the most part.

  • @XxpsychokittydxX or sometimes they're a parody of the culture itself.

  • @XxpsychokittydxX

    Mhmm exactly,..which is why the characters don't look vry "asian" like to westerners because we go off our stereotype while they go off their ideal. While when they draw westerners they go off of their stereotype of what a westerner looks like.

  • @Arriss3 yes except for in series like Hetalia where they give everyone kinda similar looking faces regardless of the culture and the way they differentiate the cultures is mainly by other features like clothing and exaggerated accents.

  • @XxpsychokittydxX

    Mhmm, but then they are still exaggerating something.

  • Oh damn, I like the first gaara cosplay and the gsd one at 0:39

  • almost all of cosplayers who want to show themselves good have to make them up with the photo shop.

  • wahat anime is in 1:12?

  • PLEASE !! what is the name song ??

  • 0:53 Really cute :D ♥

  • 00:13 wtf Hitler?? :D

  • since all the comments ive seen on this list hav just about all said that a pretty good majority of the picks in here are girls, i feel the need to knock u all for a loop, the very last pic at 2:06 is a GUY!!! XD

  • lol I'd say girl cosplayer who cosplay guy characters always go hand in hand due to their petite frames.

  • girls often make really good boys in cosplays

    bishies

  • @Trinitylover202fire that's because anime girls boys look like real life girls.

  • Hurray, Go vash!! 1:55

  • @shadefromdarkness Unless ur an asian being similar to an anime character is practially impossible

  • 0:53 AS A HOPELESS FANGIRL, I HAVE TO SAY,

    i died from jumping at my comp. screen and breaking it .

  • really liked it to bad there all Asian o well asians are good at cosplaying....

  • fake !!

  • Holy shit! Vash the Stampede looks fucking awesome!

  • dang. i cant believe they went to all the trouble of dieing there hair.

  • It's good cause all the 13 year old boys were cosplayed as 20 year old women. BELIEVE IT

  • 1:22 That's a girl!... that's not right. and thank god.

  • hahaha i find it interesting that all of theses cosplayers are girls XD (except for the vash cosplayer at 1:53 ;3)

  • didnt anybody notice 0.14 ???

    lol!!!

  • @99Lezard99

    Hey retard, try google or wikipedia when looking up budhism. Fuck wit.

    It's not a swastika(correct spelling?).

  • @ChikoWhat i didnt want to piss somebody off.

    i just found it funny that no one mentioned this.

    and yes you got me. i dont know anything about budihism.

    and if you want me to learn about it, ok.

    dont take shit to serius. (if something is written wrong im german and im sorry)

  • Me and my friend are going to the one in Wisconsin this weekend :) w'ere being Yoruichi and Soi Fon

  • The Guy At 1:53 Said "Go F*** Your Self"

  • That cloud cosplayer..

    HE REALLY LOOKS LIKE MY FRIEND.

    AND WERE ONLY 12.

    And my friend has black hair. Yet looks the same still

  • Holy crap; the Cloud cosplayer is freakin hot.

  • asta e ORIGINAL!!!!! Bravo incredibil :X :X :X :X :X :X

  • The cosplayers from Death Note should have done the Movie/s. The cosplayers look a whole lot better then then they did on there.

  • just so everybody would know.. the cosplayer on 2:06 is actually a guy ^_^

  • All of these are shooped and photoshoots, meaning amazing lighting.

  • NOTE: some(most) of theese are real model, and pictures are taken by profecional and edited to look perfect.

    ...but that is what you have to go trought if you want to look just like the characther...

    for me cosplay is allmost only aboat fun :)

  • with photoshop everything can be perfected.

  • And then there is one thing left to say:

    OMFG!

  • simple r u kidding meh?lolthese cosplays r the best!loser

  • i dare anyone to cosplay spectra phantom from bakugan

  • o:43 wow real life lookin anime!

  • 1:43 YUKI NAGATO!!!!!!!!!

  • 1:34 HARUHI!!!!!!!

  • not fair they already got a japanese face the rest of us must be very carefully at the time of chosing a character

    still is amazing the time they work in they cosplays ,the rest of us 3 hours max and ahh is ok lol(there is exceptions) about the photography well.. is true but japanese cosplay is like another league ,very impressive(>_<)

  • dude. O0o!!! i mean i know these are all completly real. but holy crap! some of them look too perfect...its almost creepy.

  • @XxIchigoChanxX nope. somebody has false information. (: i have most of these pictures in my favorites on deviantart and a majority of them aren't edited.. and most of them aren't taken by photographers, i'm sorry that unlike you, some people have good quality cameras! i have a camera and it brightens pictures, and immediately has a setting to make it look better/flawless so why be so weird about it? everybody wants a good cosplayer and once they get it, they even complain about THAT. damn..

  • how the fuck did i get here. what a weird mistake! lol

  • No se hagan ilusiones otakus... todos son puro maquillaje xD nada como un cosplay natural

  • notice how there is only one white guy and the rest are asian. This only proves one thing. No asian can pull off Vash the Stampede.

  • @Ccret24 lmao so true

  • @Ccret24 An easy explanation for that is that he is supposed to be white, so ofc! XD while the rest are asian, but that's ok too :)

  • wow shes amazing!

  • omfg at 2:06 is sssoooo amazing

  • holy shiz thi sis freaking awesome

  • All asain cosplay....i love it though im an american cosplayer but this is f***ing EPIC! i love asians they are awsome ppl :3 and yes perfect cosplayers....im cosplaying at otakon 2011 i sooo cant wait X3 lol

  • With photoshop we can all look like that. hahahahaha

  • 1:26 fuuck :O like the original ö.ö

  • neji looks like a girl. -.- a really hot on tho

  • 1:58 - Is that the pirate from Jack Frost? O: No wai. Sexy.

  • 1:27 Cloud is REAL??!!!

  • YES i totaly agree this is the Perfection of Cosplayers

  • they are all pretty good. But you should never put only asians with the title 'Perfection cosplayers'. Seeing as there are like a million people not belonging to that race, that do perfect cosplay. haha.

    But i do say, these guys are awesome! :3

  • Yeah, european cosplayers are the best.

  • They're good but all pretty simple. Many cosplays at least in England are far more impressive and complicated. It's nice to do a simple cosplay, but if it's simple then it should be done well, there is less of an excuse when it comes to quality. You should check out some european cosplays as there are some more impressive ones out there and race doesn't dictate how much you resemble a character after all quite a few anime characters are made to look like gaikokujin.

  • @shadedfromdarkness It doesnt matter if its simple or not, some outfits are really simple indeed, but the real goal of a cosplayer besides being a lifestyle is achieve to be like the character you most like and feel confortable with, and it doesnt really matter if they use a piece of cloth, but id that cloth is treated well it will result perfect...I mean look at the Pyramid Head cosplay, even though it isnt a manga character or anime but a game. The most important thin IS TO HAVE FUN! ^^

  • @shadedfromdarkness Are you STUPID????? There's no one in this world who can cosplay like the Japanese.

    Western people just don't fit to anime characters, because of there face structurs, their huge noses, thin hair and their eyes which aren't almond shaped.

    Besides that most of them doesn't have the artistic skills for the cloth,make up and hair. Western cosplay is often messy and some of then don't even wear make up.

    You know why theres no manga from western people? they just can't do it

  • @Lara1717171717 I agree with you there, also don't forget the fact that most Western cosplayer are a bit overweight too.

  • @Lara1717171717 thats not true the fma character armstrong can have a westerner cosplay if given they got the muscle for it. Pretty sure a japanese can not cosplay that because be honest ive never seen a japanese have as much muscle mass as a westerner

  • @shadedfromdarkness GAIKOKUJIN! Sounds like a monster.

  • @shadedfromdarkness i dnt really c how england or japan or america differ in cosplay :\  its usually about the person and some people make really good ones anywhere your comment is so bias its sad how people like this comment...

  • @shadedfromdarkness Sorry to say this, but all the good cosplayer that I've seen from pictures and videos have been mostly Japanese & Koreans, some few good Chinese cosplayer, and even fewer American & European cosplayers.

  • @shadedfromdarkness Had to reply to clear things up I am an english cosplayer, I don't have petite girlish features but neither do the majority of anime characters. From experience of cons in the uk theres are good cosplays, I've seen a few good american, european, and asian cosplays. There are bad asian cosplays too. I'm a pugilist, I run, swim and play football, so I'm not unfit. I practice make up, make props, and sew. I have fun cosplaying. It's unfair to generalise that's all I'm saying.

  • @shadedfromdarkness we have cons in the uk? then again if i went i cant really cosplay as anyone except people along the lines of Squall from FF8 or Light from deathnote

    if i said outloud something like "i read manga and watch anime" then i would be pummeled half to death but im from the northwest where around 60%+ of society are sluts, chavs, whores and alltogether the kind of people who would take getting wasted on a park bench over going to school

  • @BladedShotgun You should google it I've been to at least 10 different events held around the uk cosplaywise. People can be arses no matter where you're from chav's are not a dying breed. Don't be forced by other peoples standards, cosplay as anyone as long as you have a costume have fun with it. It doesn't matter if you're a little shorter/taller/heavier/lighter whatever if you like the character do it, don't worry what people think and if worried you can always go with a friend.

  • WOAH! AMAZING COSPLAY!!!! I wish I had that sort of face. I luv cosplay!

  • omg there so pretty and cute

  • AWESOME!!!!!! They look so real!!

  • AWESOME!!!!!!

  • 1:27 oh my fucking gosh!! thats supernatural !!!! *______*

  • I wonder if the fact that they're are no white people in this video has anything to do with it.

  • They're all very great. (:

    Its good to know that people can really look like this,

    with all the obvious photoshop on like 90% of these photos,

    they dont even look like people anymore,

    they look like drawings.

  • where did you get the pics?

  • 1:25

    kya!!! Cloud! xD

  • all asians should dress like this all the time! lol

  • solo los japoneses tienen el dond de cosplayera asi tan facil y unos muy muy contados fuera de japon

  • So, how many loads does it take to end this video?... I dont know but I came about 39 times.

  • Oh wow, th Cloud one made me do a double take. Really does look like he came to life.

  • why is it all asians?

  • @hypersinbay Asians are very good when it comes to cosplaying (after all, cosplay was invented in Japan)

  • @SuzukiYuu1000 i know right har har ;D

  • @hypersinbay theres a white dude @ 1:55 he nailed his cosplay to o.O

  • wow hinata somehow managed to become twice as cute.

  • 1:31 is definitely one of the best!

    She really look like Tifa!

  • wow they all look exactly alike...just different costumes....

  • 1:31 i was like HOLY SHIT, IT'S TIFA!!!!!

  • neji nazy xD

  • I think asians can only perfect cosplays..i mean seriously compare them with amercian cosplayers..i'm just saying

  • Hard to tell whether their boys or girls.

  • @TamamaCandyLover except for 1:45 ;)

  • @TamamaCandyLover Mostly are girls if that helps you^^

  • @TamamaCandyLover go ahead and masterbate anyways no one will never know then

  • Comment removed

  • @TamamaCandyLover I think they're all girls....... Pretty sure... Atleast 98% of them. Except for the guy at the end in red... Is that trigun?

  • @TamamaCandyLover That's because most of the cosplayers in this video are girls cosplaying guys.

  • some are fake but awsome

  • Wow its like they brought the actual anime carecter right off the screen. amazing

  • 2:07.... is a boy ...

  • pk. just so everyone know these people are models, NOT Actually cosplayers, I mean look at the scenary it's too good, lol

  • why the hell is there a nazi symbol at 0:14

  • @spartan77988 because its an actual symbol of peace and harmony in ancient japanese culture. EDUCATE YOURSELFFFFFFFFFF.

  • why the hell is there a nazi symbol at 0:14

  • that's because most anime characters are supposed to be asian.....so they do look cute and sexy in cosplay...but some westerners can pull it off too...
