Good thread idea OP, I miss when cosplay was more about dressing up as your favourite character and meeting up with your internet friends instead of getting likes on social media

I adore this thread. Any idea of where to find galleries for these things? A few of the old cosplay sites I used to visit are dead, and they're primarily from the early 00s.

Does deviantart have tags for cosplay? I think that would be a great place to find old cosplay photos for the West. I'm pretty sure there used to be a website for cosplay from 2000 but I can't seem to find it, can't remember the name. It might be dead now.

We really have come far as cosplayers. A lot of techniques have been invented to make things better. Yes I adore the old stuff, but the new cosplays beat the fuck out of what you could do back then.

This guy on flickr has a crazy archive of old conventions. I love looking back on it and seeing what we used to be. Its also crazy to see how bad most of the wigs were back then lol. https://www.flickr.com/photos/36778507@N00/

Anon01/09/24, 13:51No.10898840

I've always found these images interesting. I find proto-weeb culture fascinating. It's a cool glimpse into what the subculture was like before anime was even close to being the relatively mainstream phenomenon it is now. I have to imagine conventions back then had an entirely different atmosphere. Unfortunately I was barely a swimmer in my daddy's nutsack for a lot of these images, so I suppose I'll never truly know. Would be neat to see some video footage of the old cons.

Anon01/13/24, 05:50No.10899253

Closest thing I have, this video on my hard drives. Watching it gives me such a warm, cozy feeling and reminds me about what I love the most about cosplay: the people and their passion behind them

So cool. Back when nerds were nerds. Absolutely lovely thread. Man, I remember being so entranced by anime back then. It was such an exotic mysterious world from a far away land. It had so much style. I was so cool. I wish I was older back then. I could've had so much fun with this stuff.

There's a gallery on E-Hentai with images from Comiket 48, back in 1995. A direct link got reported as NSFW, which makes sense, but still seems kinda presumptuous. Then again, it's E-Hentai.Anyways, just search "Comiket 48" and it'll be there.
