Cosplay @ Huashan

Tweet

Comic book characters and other elements of fantasy descended on Huashan Culture Park in Taipei, Taiwan on April 18th for a comic book convention. Many came out dressed as their favorite characters in what was seemingly a World War II Europe type theme. For those of you unfamiliar with cosplay, take a look at this post I wrote last year outlining some of its history. More after the jump.

As I mentioned above, there seemed to be a 1930-40s Euro-type theme, with many wearing clothes of the era including a large number of military uniforms and Iron Crosses. For anyone interested in shooting some cosplay, I think this event is continuing on Sunday April 19 as well, so get down to Huashan and check it out. Here’s a few more photos. For a full galery, take a look at the cosplay gallery I have just uploaded.

      Thanks Stevo. Cosplay is so strange (to me) that it's always interesting to see,
