The odd one that stands out is Frieza, but I do see people dressed in Frieza in public events like Tokyo Marathon...

The Frieza one is the only cosplay that shocked me.

That's hilarious - I'm just imagining a bunch of Japanese people walking around with that costume.

Kinda lame for them to "buy" the cosplay outfit instead of making it themselves. I don't care for cosplay, so oh well. :P

They have some nice stuff on that side. I want that hoodie with Dragon Ball's symbol lol (should be the mutten roshi, probably).

I was happy for seeing Frieza there (old school ftw) but surprised too...

That Frieza cosplay made my day :D

Well I thought the Hyouka cosplay outfits were like any other school outfits, so personally I do not see what makes them special. However the Da Capo III uniforms were really cute.

Hmm These cosplays looks intereting.For me is favorite Makise ^_^ if I see red haired girl with chemical coat+this jacket I think my hearth is going to stop beating.

Jan 2, 2013 11:42 PM by Fertic_CZ

Oh my, the Da Capo uniform is about +700$
That's... expensive.
