After enjoying the relatively slow pace of Tokyo Game Show 2015 on the press days, we headed back at the weekend for the madness that is the public days. We had to fight our way through the crowds before we finally reached the outdoor cosplay area, where the weather was perfect for getting some great shots of the amazing outfits on show. While there were plenty of video game characters striking their poses, there were also familiar faces from anime and movies, so even if you’re not into gaming you might recognize some of them.
The level of detail in some of these home-made costumes is astounding, and there was a great mix of the sexy and the totally kick-ass. Join us after the jump for a selection of pics and video of our favourites.
▼ Cheerleader Super Sonico stuck with the Sonico tradition of not wearing much at all.
▼ This Black Magician Girl from Yu Gi Oh! had a wonderfully vibrant outfit.
▼ The detail on these girls’ costumes was incredible.
▼ Every cosplay event needs a Miku-chan!
▼ This Chino, from Is The Order a Rabbit?, was adorable.
▼ Are you hyped for new Star Wars?
▼ So angelic!
▼ This guy had his own unique (and muscly) take on Super Mario.
▼ I’m not entirely sure what was going on here…
As usual, we’ll see you at TGS again next year!
