| Cosplay Uniforms and Clothing |
| This page is dedicated to fans of cosplay. Cosplay, for those who are new to anime, is a contraction of the words 'costume' and 'play'. The term was coined by Japanese fans of various media allowing them to dress up as their favorite characters from anime, manga, or live action television and movies. It has become rather popular around the world as of late, as more and more people become fans of Japanese entertainment. Each year, more people attend various anime and science fiction conventions dressed as their favorite characters. They even have contests to see who has the best made costumes, as well as the most atrocious. For some fans, the costumes themselves are considered to be great works of art, and this is why I have decided to create this page. |
| Hilary and Ali Ohayocon 2006 Photographs taken by Lionel Lum This series of photos are some of the best I have ever seen featuring costumes made from designs featured in Gunbuster. I was pretty overwhelmed by the attention to detail put into them and the results were well worth it. When I corresponded with the artists who designed the costumes, I was delighted to hear that they had used images from my site to help make them. I was also happy to hear that with the amount of response they got at the convention, the costumes were well worth the time it took to make them. As for who is who in the photos, Hilary is playing Noriko and Ali is playing Kazumi. |
| Miscellaneous Cosplay Uniforms Other fan made costumes This last set of images comes from sources across the internet where other fans have cosplayed as characters from Gunbuster. I have also included a costume made by a fan in Japan which was auctioned off on Yahoo! Japan which I currently own in my collection. |
Gunbuster Cosplay Uniform (Pre-Eltreum Era)
Manufacturer: Various/Fan Made
This last bit of memorabilia is a replica of the uniform
worn by Noriko and the other female combat pilots in
Gunbuster. Made by an anime fan in Japan, the costume
is very well made and quite sturdy. I managed to find it
for sale on Yahoo! Japan and paid roughly $150 for it. I'm
such an otaku I had to have it for my collection. Now if I
can only find the t-shirts...
