Some of the More Disturbing Cosplay Pictures of All Time

Bad Cosplay

For those that need a refresher course:

Cosplay short for “costume play,” is a type of performance art whose participants outfit themselves, with often-elaborate costumes and accessories, as a specific character or idea. Characters are usually sourced in various Japanese and East Asian media, including manga, anime, tokusatsu, comic books, graphic novels, video games, and fantasy movies.

In other words, the portrayals of the various characters should at least be somewhat accurate.  And more importantly, I’m not sure the intended purpose of a costume is to scare the living crap out of people like myself.

Nevertheless, the cosplay subculture is bound to run into some psychos.  In fact there are more than I’d like to count.  Here’s a sample of some of the more disturbing images of the cosplay culture.

    Okay, we get it, fat people should not cosplay thin people.

    ..and the Gundam cosplay’s epic ;)

  2. Venroon 13 Apr 2009 at 12:27 pm

    I’d have to agree about that Gundam cosplay. And half of these people should cosplay Rufus.

    Need a “best of” cosplay to make up for this. It still hurts my eyes.

  4. simonon 14 Apr 2009 at 6:04 am

    I’m not even sure who some of these people think they are cosplaying.

    The only pics I see here that strike me as “disturbing” are the one of the Rock Lee guy pissing himself, and the one of the ultra-skinny guy standing in the woods in panties (who the heck is he supposed to be, anyway?)

    All the others appear to be some combination of: overweight, queer, or black. Which is far more disturbing than any of the pics.

    I think the Black Rock Lee (Let’s call him Blackie Chan) just has a lot of nut sweat.
    But yeah, that Quistis (the one with the little chain thing) is horrifying.
    Most of them were.
    But the Gundam.
    It’s so simple.
    It works.
    I’m stealing it.
    Wizard World East, here I come.

    Wow I am really speechless… yeah that gundam one got me rolling… :)

  10. Samon 15 Apr 2009 at 9:38 am

    Wow… you guys are assholes. Costumes like these take a lot of work, and a lot of balls to put your self out there.

  11. bobon 15 Apr 2009 at 10:40 am

    That…fur…girl…pink…ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  12. MsR3don 15 Apr 2009 at 10:44 am

    So…Apparently only thin beautiful Asian or white cosplayers are allowed?

    Some of the best cosplayers you see are hired by the company to portray the character in a so-called beautiful fashion. Secondly, yes… there are some questionable tastes in outfit choices on some people, but other then that, cosplay is supposed to be fun and expressive. Some of the outfits, such as the Bleach cosplay are well done. Plus, Man-Faye and Sailor Bubba are kind of iconic in a 4-chan way.

  13. natsumeon 15 Apr 2009 at 10:46 am

    Pretty low blows for some of those ..

    What the hell is wrong with a kid doing the prince from Katamari Damacy or Felicia from Dark Stalkers?

    A good chunk of these are done for comedic effect, certainly man-faye and the resident sailor bubba from Acen.

  14. Tashaon 15 Apr 2009 at 11:39 am

    Man Faye ROCKS! He may be disturbing to see in costume but he’s a really nice guy and totally funny ;) I met him at Anime Expo in 2004 and got my pic taken with him.

  15. rook_1eon 15 Apr 2009 at 11:56 am

    Gundam. Its genius…

  16. Pitch Blackon 15 Apr 2009 at 11:59 am

    Fat people who are comfortable with themselves and having fun? HOW DARE THEY! FOR SHAME! FOR SHAME!

  17. ptrixon 15 Apr 2009 at 12:54 pm

    why, Why, WHY do fat guys cosplay as Faye Valentine, when they’d be much more convincing as Jet Black?

  18. Gregon 15 Apr 2009 at 1:13 pm

    Ouch! My eyes are burning!

  19. Jabezon 15 Apr 2009 at 1:38 pm

    this is why Americans should not get involved in the Asian sport of cosplay

  20. graphicartist2k5on 15 Apr 2009 at 1:41 pm

    there NEEDS to be a rule that states: MEN CANNOT DRESS UP AS FEMALE ANIME CHARACTERS. if this rule is broken at any cosplay convention, said man that has broken this rule should get his ass SERIOUSLY kicked.

  21. jackon 15 Apr 2009 at 1:50 pm

    ROFL

    Let see, the right term would be kuso. It is kind of like a train wreck that you just gota watch.

  22. Fatty McGeeon 15 Apr 2009 at 3:03 pm

    Nice examples, but sadly I’ve seen worse.
    Why is man Faye up there twice? What soft of punishment is this?

    Gundam guy is awesome, has an action figure, and was featured in a Japanese ad. Just goes to show that mocking crap cosplay can become it’s own form of EPIC cosplay.

    I am scarred for life..

    “cosplay is supposed to be fun and expressive”

    Come on with that crap, everyone says it pose to be fun. is it fun for us to see our favorite characters butchered?

  26. i S m e x yon 02 May 2009 at 3:51 am

    wow well the gundam is epic all the others are epic fails and that asian has the world’s smallest penis… i swear he must masterbate with tweezers

  27. Steveon 02 May 2009 at 4:26 pm

    The cat-girl in pink? I’d totally hit that. And not in my automobile either.

    (I’m talkin’ like the Fist of an Angry God)

  28. Carloson 30 May 2009 at 8:20 am

    The thick girl with the pink hair and cat paws is sexy. I’ve done a lot worse in my time.

    epic fail on Yoruichi (third from top) one of the hottest chicks in Bleach

  31. […] here on Unreality. More specifically, we enjoy leering at the hot chicks and making fun of the truly sad failed attempts. But I figured I’d switch it up and feature the best of the best, and after an afternoon […]

  32. Leighon 09 Jul 2009 at 9:51 pm

    I think that Katamari one is actually pretty badass.

  34. Tomon 05 Aug 2009 at 6:11 pm

  35. Katon 20 Sep 2009 at 7:35 pm

    oh man whats up with the naked savor the little white panties asian…girl/boy..haha

  36. Wateron 01 Oct 2009 at 11:16 am

    Cosplaying takes some gut.
    But still I think that when you want to do a cosplay you should PICK the character as
    a) what characters you like
    b) what you CAN do as in:
    1. your own bodyshape/facial features
    2. you think your sewing/making ability is able to

    as for crossdressing: It’s even harder than “normal cosplay”,
    with women: PLEASE BIND YOUR BREASTS! (I don’t want to see my favourite male character cosplayer with huge boobs (even man tits if the character does NOT have them)
    with men: just how many man has the gut to actually use a bra and stuff them so they would have breasts (IF the said character HAS breasts) or get their manhood hidden with good underwear? I can’t say I’ve seen many. (maybe 2 actually good male crossplayers irl and I’ve been to a LOTS of conventions over few years)

    And the Gundam was epic.

  37. Heidion 09 Nov 2009 at 10:17 pm

    wow… ok so I know alot of time and money goes into cosplaying… but seriously? some of these people wasted alot of money…
    The Quistis one I give props because yeah she might not be the slim version from the game, but that outfit is absolutly amazing!! It’s so precise and exact, props to her!!

    The pink haired cat girl… I really don’t want to see that much of her, personally, but she doesn’t look bad, cute costume.

    The men dressed as women…. for God’s sake SHAVE!!! seriously… eww…

    the last two women… next time just throw on a pair of Spanx and you’ll be ok.

  38. Sakion 16 Nov 2009 at 12:25 am

    pfff, dude seriously? MOST cosplay is like this and i found none of these pictures disturbing. cosplay is for the fun of it, it doesent matter if your a bit over waight or not and i must say a lot of these are done for the comedy of it.
