Snake, Chrono Cross’ Harle Make It To NYAF

Posted by Stephanie "Tigresa" Palermo on October 2nd, 2009

new-york-anime-festivalJust this past weekend I headed out to NYAF (New York Anime Fest) at the Javits Center in NYC. I snapped some shots of cosplayers (myself not included here ’cause I’m shy) all around the convention center, supported my local artists by nabbing their artistic swag to plaster on my walls and sat quietly through the masquerade as cosplayers showcased their epic (questionable…) talents. Although it was not a gaming convention, the anime and video game culture are so closely linked that an abundance of video game characters were able to make it to the show. Check out some snapshots of a few video game cosplayers I peeped below! Chrono Cross…!

0Anime
This is the only one that’s not gaming related, but her cosplay is just incredible I couldn’t help but include it!

0Joker
Harley Quinn, Nurse Joker, Ghostbuster and The Dark Knight himself.

0ProtonPack
The Ghostbusters cosplayer’s proton pack, I wish this were a short clip — the lights and everything are active! It’s amazing.

0Bumblebee
This had to be the most attention-drawing one, this man cosplayed as Bumblebee from Transformers. He went all out, he even employed a voicebox that sounded like a radio.

0Harle
Harle from Chrono Cross and a White Mushroom heartless from Kingdom Hearts

0KH
Axel, Larxene and Sora of Kingdom Hearts

0Taokaka
Taokaka of BlazBlue

0Snake
Snake and Box… And his body double

Which is your favorite of the bunch? Have you cosplayed any of these characters above? Tell us!

    Although i dont like cosplay i def don't mind it as much as some people. thats because it makes me feel so much cooler when im not the one poorly dressed up as Spike cause i know i cant pull off wearing a blue suit with a yellow dress shirt and i know i can never be as awesome as he is in the show. Nerds!
  • I ran into Naked Snake/Big Boss as he was walking to the convention and as I was leaving. Got a photo of him putting me in a CQC choke. I geeked out!

    Ha! What a bunch of nerds! But seriously, I wish there were an Anime convention close to me...so I could have an excuse to cosplay. That proton pack does look pretty sweet.
