[NIHON BUNKA KENKYUU] BUNKEN 101: Reviews, comments, and insights on Japanese pop culture.
i'm keeping mirror copies of all the TOKYO GAME SHOW cosplay pics here, as i learned the hard way that newswires often delete older content. i had a couple of otherwise great links wiped out that way. pity. anyway, there's a good mix of costumes, with portrayals ranging anywhere from outstanding to unacceptable; i'll just leave it to you guys to see for yourselves.

personally, major props go to the FFVII:AC cosplay team; it may not be as hot as the actual movie sequences but it's a good enough match <3<3 not so hot was the flat-chested version of ALICE (from the RESIDENT EVIL flicks) and those godawful bunny-girls (but not the RAGNAROK ONLINE priestess, though); it makes me wanna wish they cosplayed some character who wears a mask instead just to spare us from the HORROR!?
as for SHIRANUI MAI -- uhm, i know panty shots are de rigeure at japanese cosplay meets, but that eyeful she gave at one shot was just too, too much.
