This year's Youmacon was wonderfully fun and full of talented and inspired cosplayers. My husband and co-host of Addicted to Anime, Stephen, and I spent two amazing days at Youmacon and saw so many amazing cosplays. I can't put them all here because there are so many photos, although you can see them on our Facebook page. Because of the sheer size of Youmacon, we're sure there are also plenty of other amazing cosplays we never even got to see. I'm going to share with you some of my personal favorites that we were able to snag photos of.

This Celestia Ludenberg cosplay from the anime Dangan Ronpa was beautifully put together, right down to the oversized hair. Detail to the dress was also spot on.

These Kirito and Asuna cosplayers from Sword Art Online caught our attention with their attention to detail. Their weapons are perfect, right down to Kirito's dual wielding.

This group ofcosplayers definitely caught our attention! The Navi cosplayer stayed in character the entire con, chasing people around the con and shouting "Hey! Listen!" and "Watch out!"I saw this cosplay while eating lunch and I just had to approach her. The pictures truly do not do this cosplay justice. I cannot for the life of me remember just what she was cosplaying, but I couldn't leave this cosplay out.This Maka Albarn cosplayer, from, was traveling with the previous cosplayer. It seems that good cosplayers travel in groups! It's obvious she put a lot of effort in to her prop and thought into her cosplay.This Kiki cosplay, from, is a simple yet wonderful piece.is a film by the very popular Japanese film director and artist, Hayou Miyazaki.is by far one of my favorite video games. I was ecstatic to see such a talentedcosplayer. Both her outfit and her props were splendidly made—she even had a functional hidden blade!We found this gorgeous pair when leaving the People Mover! The picture does not do their face paint and custom lenses justice, trust me. They were cosplaying as their own original characters.I enjoyed these cosplays of these characters from theseries, but what really caught our attention was the Flying Nimbus they had created that was even capable of moving. I saw them wheeling around the convention on their Flying Nimbus on more than one occasion!This Lucy Cosplayer frommade Stephen and I immediately become giddy! We're both huge fans of that anime, and she was the first cosplayer in the many, many conventions we have attended to actually create the vectors. She said that this was her very first cosplay that she has ever put together.This was only Part One of this photo series. Soon I'll be releasing Part Two, so keep an eye out for it. Until then, let me know what you think in the comment section below!
