Raising the standards of cosplay
This Otaku House Cosplay Idol competition is raising the standards of what it means to be a “Old-School” cosplayer.
Hits that most of us watched growing up, such as Sailor Moon, Ranma 1/2, Mobile Suit Gundam, Dragonball and the like are being transformed and personified with professional style and amazing accuracy. The world has proven that some classics can never grow old.
Costume enthusiasts everywhere are showing their love for the classics by entering their best 80’s and 90’s anime cosplay pictures for our viewing (and voting!) pleasure. Let’s take a moment to showcase some of the highlights, shall we?
