28.2.2023
Just when you thought it was safe to freely scope out CRTs at celebratory nerd gatherings, one of the best cosplays from this year’s ATL Comic Convention has reminded us of at least one nasty issue with old cathode ray tubes: Sometimes ghostly girls can crawl out of them. Or at least that’s what...
Our Favorite Cosplay From Holiday Matsuri
24.1.2023
Holiday Matsuri is one of the coolest cosplay shows on the North American calendar. Taking place in Florida in December, the location means that instead of shivering inside a convention centre somewhere freezing their asses off, attendees are instead free to hit the pool, and the timing means...

Cosplay Universe Is A Great Documentary About The Craft
18.10.2022
I’ve been covering cosplay for well over a decade now, and in that time I’ve seen loads of books, posts, YouTube videos and even TV series about the subject. What I had never seen, until now, was someone actually go and make a documentary as slick and comprehensive as Cosplay Universe.Read more

16.9.2022
The Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, aka C2E2, was one of the very last shows we got to feature before the pandemic hit in early 2020, so it’s great being able to welcome the event back into the rotation in 2022 after a couple of years on the sideline.Read more

Our Favorite Cosplay From Yeticon 2022
4.7.2022
In case you’ve never seen our coverage of the event before, Yeticon isn’t like most other cosplay shows. Instead of taking place in a convention centre in a big American city, it’s held at the Blue Mountain Resort in Ontario, Canada, which means our gallery is swapping hotel carpet backdrops...
Breath of the Wild Guardian Cosplay Is A Sight To Behold
20.6.2022
People have been cosplaying as Link and Zelda (and even Ganon) since the series first debuted, but those guys are (relatively) easy. They’re bipedal, they wear clothes, you put some make-up on, get a weapon, boom, you’re cosplaying as a Nintendo character. But what about Breath of the Wild’s...

With most of the scene having been shut down during the pandemic, and major shows only just starting to make their way back into the lineup, it’s lovely to be able to turn our attention internationally once again with this feature on Japan Expo 2022, which was held in Bangkok a few months back.Read...
Mysterious And Cryptic Virtual YouTuber Returns After Two-Year Hiatus
10.3.2022
Hatoba Tsugu has been called the “most mysterious VTuber.” She’s nothing like the other chatty and cutesy virtual YouTubers. Her sepia-bathed short clips, which have racked up over 10 million views, seem like they are clues—or cries for help. And now, after a two-year absence, she’s back. Her first...
Our Favorite Cosplay From Katsucon 2022
8.3.2022
Like so much else over the past couple of years, the pandemic hit the cosplay scene hard, shutting down the conventions that are in so many ways the lifeblood of the community. But after getting things back on track last December with Dragon Con, I’m super pumped to now be presenting our first...
VTuber Ironmouse Is Breaking All Kinds Of Twitch Records
22.2.2022
Twitch has a new rising star, one that’s quickly surpassed the platform’s highest performers like Hasanabi and xQc in some respects. Her name is Ironmouse, and she’s a virtual pink-haired anime VTuber that’s been doing an uncapped subathon for going on 18 days now. She has also broken a bunch...

24.1.2022
Ředitel zábavního kolosu Activision Blizzard, který byl nedávno odkoupen Microsoftem, patří mezi ty nejméně oblíbené postavy herního průmyslu. Podle zdrojů novin Wall Strret Journal chtěl svůj mediální obraz zlepšit tím, že odkoupí internetové magazíny PC Gamer a Kotaku, které ho pravidelně...
Sailor Moon Becomes Sailor Witches
18.1.2022
Back in 2019, in the Before Times, Ukraine-based illustrator Kutty Sark celebrated Inktober with a range of Sailor Moon images that depicted the girls as straight-up witches (this is not the blog to be entertaining discussions on whether using wands and magic means Sailor Moon is already a witch...

8.12.2021
VTubers have quickly become my favorite new type of content creators on the internet. Though I’ve seen enough now to know that the possibilities for what creative and wildly entertaining forms their avatars might take are endless, I still wasn’t prepared for the inventive and adorable VTuber...
