29 Mind-Boggling Amazing Cosplays From Anime Revolution 2013

Thousands attended Anime Revolution 2013 over the weekend at the Vancouver Convention Centre to celebrate Japanese anime and culture. Many who were there also participated in cosplay, short for “costume play,” in which attendees wear costumes to mimic a character from a work of fiction.

Most cosplay costumes are homemade (especially if they choose to enter into a cosplay contest) and, depending on the detail and complexity of their designs, requires several days or even weeks to create their works.

This was the largest Anime Revolution ever, and that says a lot as this is the city’s largest comic and animation oriented convention. More than 8,000 attended the convention over the weekend, which was packed with panels, events, live music, autograph signings, photo opportunities, anime movie screenings, vendors and even a fashion show.
