#5-Lancer
(Fate/Stay Night UBW) (zitchy14)
Of all the Fate cosplayers I saw at the FSN photoshoot,
whenever this guy walked into a group shot, he always stood out. From the actual lance to the hair to the dead
on detailed body suit, it was as if the actual servant walked right out of a
battle in Fate/Stay Night to grace us with his presence at a photoshoot. That’s not to say that there weren’t a lot of
great Fate/Stay Night cosplays at Otakon, there were tons (some worn by good
friends of mine). This Lancer just
rocked, plain and simple.

Princess Mononoke (Laurence)
My good friend Laurence has been cosplaying for a long
time and this latest project of his took a while for him to pull off. I’d seen the progress pics as they came along
but to see it in person, damn brother.
Special praise should go to the San mask he made in addition to
everything else. The detail is precise
and looks very tribal warrior, just like San is in the actual movie. Im sure this was a dream project for Laurence
and im so happy it paid off in spades as he got stopped constantly for a photo,
right on dude.

#3-Moana (Vixie Belle)
Another good friend lands a spot on my Top 5 (feel like
this is all long overdue for the amazing people I travel with during these
events). VixieBelle is a huge Disney
fan, hell she practically is a RL Disney Princess. For this Otakon, she debuted her finished
cosplay of Moana of Matanui and…let me tell ya the second we linked up in the
Dealers Room on Saturday all I could do was say “wow” as silently as I
could. Vixie could not have looked more
beautiful and perfect as the water master of Disney. Fun fact: she kind of does costume work for a
living and im glad she finds time to put her profession into her awesome hobby
(cosplay I mean lol).

#2-Sailor Neptune
(Rizuki)
Rizuki the Senshi Master strikes again. Not only was she hosting one of the official
Sailor Moon photoshoots at Otakon 2018, she was also bringing her updated
Sailor Neptune cosplay along with her.
The updates and hard work put into them all were worth the hype: darker
colors didn’t sacrifice the brightness of the character and it just felt more
confident like ever before. I told
Rizuki that if I had to make a list of cosplayers id slot into a Sailor Senshi
shoot…she’d be Venus cause she’s her main HOWEVER the new Neptune makes a
compelling argument to change that decision lol.

#1-Momma Midoriya
and Baby Deku
Just look at how unfreakingbelievably adorable this
is? It isn’t uncommon to see some
parents dress up their babies and infants when they bring along for the ride at
conventions. Often, they steal the show
(case in point the couple of tiny Princesses and Senshi at the Disney and
Sailor Moon photoshoots). This, however,
made everyone stop in their tracks. Yes,
yes, the BNHA group as a whole was pretty legit. Baby Deku in the wagon (in costume and with a little Greymon too ahhhhh) being
watched over by Mama Midoriya, God you couldn’t ask for a more perfect family
moment at a convention, ever.
