I don't know if it's just me, but I can't see the picture at all.

Two things.

1) while the photo link for the photographer still works, the image on the actual ANN page is broken. Fix please?

2) Please, people, please let this be a discussion of a female cosplayer that doesn't hinge 100% on whether or not you think she's sexy or other things like that. Her costume is, as best as I can remember from Deadman Wonderland, really good... it kind of sucks seeing all the cosplayers nitpicked for their faces or weights or god knows what else when nobody mentions the hard work that goes into their costumes. From a cosplayer's perspective, this hobby is NOT a beauty pageant, and it's rather disheartening to see that the entire internet pretty much considers it to be.

Wow, this really is the most anticipated anime of spring, huh. lol
I've never actually remember seeing anybody cosplaying a character from a manga without an anime adaptation out yet.

Well, it can't be helped when anime and manga purposely fill themselves with beautiful people for such purposes. Laughing

Maybe if they more-than-once-in-awhile fill themselves with less-beautiful people in beautiful garbs, we'd focus more on the costumes.

Just sayin' it's a product of the medium.... Very Happy

(Personally, I agree with you, but that's the way it was intended.)

That costume is great. How did she manage to get that detail on the actual bodysuit of the markings, it's amazing.

When cosplayers go into that much attention to detail, you can just see all the hardwork, dedicatio and admiration of the art. She has put alot of hours into making that costume and it surely shows, great job!
