A Gallery That Proves Dragonball Z Cosplay Should Never Be Attempted

The problem with Dragonball Z cosplay, is that as seen above, even when it’s good,  it’s bad. I feel like if someone saw this gallery before sinking millions of dollars into a live action DBZ movie, they’d be a lot happier today.

It’s just one of those cartoons that can almost never translate into a cool costume, no matter how well made it may be. Still need more proof? Well, follow me on this epic journey of dress-up badness…

    I love how you guys always save the best for last in your galleries. And in this one, the truth is told.

    The reason why none of these work? No, instantly out-of-place, super hot chick. If she put on pretty much any of these costumes it would be an instant success. I mean when did we ever think we could associate sexy with pikachu?

    @comfortablemadness

    I have to agree. Never thought I’d think of Pikachu as “sexy.” I’m kind of surprised there’s no scantily clad female DBZ cosplayers in here.

    Besides that last one, you’re right. That little kid Gohan is adorable.

    that first piccolo and the android 17 weren’t so bad. it’s just hard to get the hair for saiyans and not look too fake or wrong

    it’s the hair man. for that matter. that’s the number one reason for cosplay fail. if you got the hair right, that’s pretty much the character. just fyi, all anime character looks the same except their hair. and this is coming from a guy who watches quite a bit of anime… yeah i know it’s sad…

    The one with the guy or girl near the stairs isn’t that bad, i would have wanted to see that on a poster.

    Rob, you are right. That Android 17 is actually pretty decent.
