Last week saw the 2012 edition of the Anime Expo, an annual showcase in LA that brings together fans of anime, video games, manga and all kinds of related stuff for four days of panels, merch, socialising and cosplay.
Which brings us neatly to this weekâs Fancy Pants cosplay gallery.
Photographer Mike Kowalek was there with his camera to take some amazing cosplay pics, which he was kind enough to share with us. You can see some highlights below, but to check out his entire collection, be sure to head to his siteâs AX 2012 gallery
WARNING: There are Viewtiful Joe, Porco Rosso, Star Fox and Labyrinth images below that may blow your socks off.
To see the larger pics in all their glory (or so you can save them as wallpaper), right-click on the âexpandâ icon on the main image above and select âopen in new tabâ.
Fancy Pants is a look at the world of cosplay (costume play), where people dress up as their favorite video game characters. Sometimes it works! Sometimes itâŠyeah.
