/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>7398782
Nice Hakutaku. I'd love to see more nice Hozuki cosplay.

>>7398818
I love how she made this particular cosplay in only four hours.

>>7398776
Pffft
Everyone's orgasming over this overly photoshopped bitch. She knows how to do make up well. Maybe she set the bar high for your low standards, but she isn't anything great.

>>7398899
i smell jealousy

>>7399059

Who's Reika?

>>7399103
a girl who gets more pussy than anyone here

>>7398899
Why is she a bitch, anon?

For directing the attention away from you?

Why don't you post some pictures? We can look for you.

>>7398899
Eh, I've seen her in person before, and she doesn't use as much photoshop as you're implying. Obviously photos have that airbrushed feel, but she doesn't warp her features from what I could tell.

>tfw you've been to the same studio as Reika and sat on the same chair as her

Indirect butt touching.

>>7399297
Well. Clearly her makeup was not meant to be seen from the side. That nose.

>>7399374
>being this jelly

>>7399380
Not even jelly. Just why would you use a shot like that? Why would your photographer not throw it out or at least fix it in PS?

>>7399374
After seeing shit like this on tumblr, she at least isn't the worst.

>inb4 whitenight

>>7398776
Her stuff is pretty cool, and it looks like she puts much effort into it.

>>7398776
Reika is amazing and I can't wait to see her at AM.

>>7398776
I get disappointed when seeing other people cosplay character that she also did tbh

She makes me feel better about my hands since she doesn't have those delicate petite fingers that most asian girls have. Is that a weird thing to point out?

A lot of photoshop. Don't really care for her overall too much.

>>7399920
Is it weird to point out that she has freaky sausage fingers despite being thing? No.

>>7398899
>>7399295
She often posts videos of herself (and has been in other cosplayers' videos) and other than her complexion, she doesn't look that far off from her cosplay pictures.

I've seen her in person at a M&G and she actually resembles her final work pictures a lot.
Also, people upload candid pictures of her all the time and she looks just as gorgeous in them as well.

She'll be visiting a convention in my country this year and I really can't wait to see her.
I wonder how she is irl, she seems really sweet.

>>7398776
So does she cosplay female characters at all?

>>7399401
thankyou for this gem

>>7399401
Does anyone know who the people in the picture are? I've tried reverse searching but it only led me to more /cgl/ threads...

>>7401289
I remember posted the reiner's tumblr before but i dont remember it

more Reika please. she can get it any day any hour

>>7399273
having this much yellow fever. She's a good cosplayer, and does her make up better than most asians, but everyones acting like she's gods gift to the cosplay hobby. jfc
>all these wet pussies and low standards all around

>>7399390
She does make a better guy than the ones i saw at Katsucon.
>ugh so much disappointment seeing guys cosplay from Magi. just why

>>7401956
>>7401953
don't fucking samefag.

she's cute. stay jelly or get treatment, we don't care, but don't shitpost.

>>7401962
>you need to be nice anonymously

Why would anyone do that when theres other useless sites like tumblr/reddit to be nice on ?

>>7401962
not same fagging or jelly.
stay mad though

I want to eat Reika out while she has one of her crossplays on

>>7399242
>>7398899
>>7399374

lol you're that reika hating fag from the other thread

>>7401998
only one of those responses are mine. So much try hard
1/10 for making me reply to your dumb ass.

Photo of her from our local con
she fell asleep

sage for no relevant contribution

nice

>>7402015

>>7401047
here u go

Earlier Reika
she wasn't that good before though

>>7402015
haha. she made the jacket out of inaccurate material. As expected.

>>7402045
>made the jacket
still a step up, at least

>>7402084
She's a cute Levi. I just wish she did another character. I know she did Jean, but i want to see more~

>>7398776
>She set the bar really high

I had a great laugh

Lol all the jelly assmad harpies in here

>>7402269
i thought many of her fans are harpies as well?

>>7402045
As the series progressed she actually re-made the jacket in a more accurate material.

moar old pics of Reika please?

Is she gay?

>>7402991
I want to know this too. I'm guessing she atleast likes men, since she apperantly ships Eruri.

She doesn't look like a real person in most of these pictures. Definitely doing some uncanny valley shit to my brain. Do not want.

She looks cute enough in the ones that look unshopped/modestly shopped, though.

>>7402991
now don't give her hambeast lesbian fans false hope, ok

>>7399946 does she have a youtube account?

>>7402342
It seems like most of the harpies in here are her fans? Because nobody's saying she's bad, just that maybe she's not the most perfect cosplayer ever, and most of the complaints are focused on how her make up or photoshop is a bit overdone sometimes. The OP's claim really seems like trollbait, but for some reason people are eating it up.

>>7403015
hahahahaa

>>7399448
That Eren is beautimous

>>7403079
It's a manly pairing though.

But on the topic I've never heard anything about her being in a relationship.

>>7403124
it's just a funny assumption to make. I know enough Lesbians(and straight guys) who ship really manly dudes that it gave me a good laugh.

>>7403064
sadly, I know a few people irl (non-cosplayers, though) who worship her and keep looking down on other cosplayers who cosplay same characters as her

Asian fangirls can be quite obsessive *cough*k-pop fans

>>7403783
I hate that shit. Yeah. She's good at what she does, but why would anyone feel discouraged? I feel bad for people dropping their costumes because an Asian bitch is doing the same character. Give me a break.

>>7403794
If anything, when people see a cosplayer they really admire doing the same character, they should strive to try to look as good, or even better. Seeing a cosplayer I like with the same costume just motivates me to make my costume that much better. Strokes for folks though.

>>7403794
ikr. I don't know why they have to compare other cosplayers with Reika. She doesn't own those characters, gdi

>>7403015
I ship Eruri but I'm a flaming lesbian, so

>>7403124
People ship her and Kaname apparently.
Some fans made a ReiKanameOTP page on Facebook...

I don't know... I like her cosplays a lot and I can't wait to see her at a local con, but her fans sometimes creep me out so much.

>>7404204
lmfao

whatever happen to Kaname/Yuegene fans?

>>7404200 first cosplay I haven't like from her

If she ruined cosplay for you because 'she set the bar high,' I feel like it's the equivalent to some neckbeard saying his waifus set the bar high to the point where every IRL woman makes them go 'meh.'

>>7404617
Well...
Yeah.

moar

has anyone meet her before? how tall is she, btw?

>>7405677
I haven't met her but she's a little shorter than Kaname, looking from the pics. Kaname's 167cm (5'6") so Reika's probably around 160-164 cm (less than 5'5")

she's so fucking hot

bump

normal Reika

>>7407451
I wish she stop doing that mouth.. thing that she always do

>>7407561
duckface

is it true that she's 36??

>>7398782
AWWWW shit!!

>>7408677
She has been cosplaying for 19 years but her age isn't confirmed. Since she dosen't want to reveal it. My guess is that she got into it after high school so she should be about 37 or 38.

>>7406213
My friend asked her IRL and she told her that she is 162cm.

does anyone know if she had a job? I feel like she spend a lot of her time cosplaying and travelling, lol

>>7408677
I have heard friends who know her call her "Grandma Reika"...So maybe?

Reika pretty much just makes me wish she was actually a guy. She's amazing at what she does, and looks amazing and I totally wish I didn't feel attracted to her in cosplay haha.

P.S. just because someone else has done an amazing cosplay, doesn't mean it should stop anyone doing the same thing. It's really just your problem if you can't enjoy what someone has done just because someone else did it.

>>7408700
I don't get this? Why not just let yourself enjoy her cosplays and how handsome she is? Why make yourself feel guilty about that

>>7408710
Because omgahhhh rezbian.

>>7408697
She has a job on a fashion magazine or something like that. She often took leaves for it for cosplay summits and stuff though. I'm actually quite amazed that she's still in the company lol

>>7408677
I think it's true? She mentioned in a magazine once that she has started during 16 and she's been cosplaying for around 16 years now so? (I read this back in 2011/12 so please do the math)

>>7408710
I think you missed the point. I wasn't saying I don't enjoy her work, I was saying I am a straight female who find her crossplay very attractive; and obvs there is no future for us /sniff

Okay, maybe there is. But I doubt the possibilities of ending up with super-famous Reika. It's like "falling in love" with anyone famous - It isn't going to happen but that doesn't stop whiteknights, God bless them.

>>7408731
lol and she still have time to make her cosplays?

does anyone know how much she got paid for attending cons?

>>7408744
Well she does make them very quickly. She finishes most of her work in less than half a day.

>>7408744
Yeah. I stalk her on twitter so lol
also she can make a whole costume (simple like Kise) at around 3-4hrs tops so she has time.

On a local con here the organizers paid for everything. Her plane fair, her hotel accommodations and even her transportation. (If you saw that dramu with behindinfinity defending Reika it was that one. I think it's standard for local cons here that invite guests to shoulder everything)

>>7408758
what dramu? (I admit I'm a little left out about cosplayer dramu thing)

>>7408737
ah I think it was
>I totally wish I didn't feel attracted to her in cosplay

that confused me. I just thought why? you could do a lot worse for a girl crush.

Is it weird if one of my favorite things about Reika is how she does her eyebrows for crossplay? I just really like the shape and thickness of how she draws them

>>7408762
>facebook slash behindinfinity.jin slash posts 520732211296823 and this
>facebook slash notes jin-j-joson slash a-lesson-for-event-organizers-and-invited-guests slash 521349384568439

its okay it's just a flipfag dramu thing (though google shows me it even reached SG but I dont even lurk there lol)

sorry for the weird url 4ch thinks its spam

>>7408774
thank you, anon! Since I live in SEA I love reading about asian cosplay drama more, lol

>>7408774
I was on an event in Sweden (I think it's the latest con she has attended). And there one a Q&A someone asked her about her worst con experience.

She answered that she went to a con in the Philipins where they didn't give her a hotel room and she had to sleep at one of the arrangers house or something like that.
So I guess that is this one?

>>7408786
seems like it. i think her arranger was Jin?

>>7408781
I feel you haha the dramu here isn't as horrid as the US but hey its because we're ~real asians~ which makes us more tame I guess?

>>7408786
yeah! Actually I think she didn't really sleep there? She just took a bath there or something, it was a pretty short trip and from behindinfinity's post it seems Reika only slept for an hour or two on the whole duration of her trip for that convention and it was in her "changing room" nonetheless

>>7408786
well, damn. I hope someone tell that con organizer about this

>>7408786
They probably did it so they could try and rape her in her sleep. Some organizers who bring Jrock and visual kei bands over are guilty of this.

>>7408851
...What the fuck

>>7408851
Seriously?
Got any stories?

>>7408709
This is her?
Holy shit her Hanji cosplay fucking sucks. And that choice of fabric, what the fuck man.

>>7408851
proof?

>>7408709
it all looks so plasticy

>>7408885
yeah, i never like the fabric she used for the jacket

still "meh" ?

"meh" aswell?

does anyone know what did she use to make the design on the side of the jacket where the buttons go?
is it just paint?

I'm amused that people actually ship them

She's working on a new cosplay again

>>7410211
>>7410213
Self-post?

>>7410440

hah people ship Reika and Kaname?
That's kinda cute.

>>7399448
All I see is balls

>>7399252
Oh god, why haven't I seen this it's perfect.

>>7411064
yeah, since they started to appear as cosplay guest together

>>7398776
Who is she? anyway

>>7408885
Same with her Levi. The jackets are so shiny. There's nothing significantly impressive about her.

>>7410440
Is that Kaname as Eren? Holyshit, he looks terrible. He looks too old. And that wig is bad.

>>7411200
Some japanese woman who is good at sewing and cross play make up, so even though she is only slightly above average, every stupid teen girl is on her fake dick.
Instead of wanting to get better themselves, they just drool over her and whine "why can't I be her??"

>>7411224
she looks ugly to me

>>7410211
>>7410213
Why the sudden Gucci plug?

>>7411234
She looks like your average japanese woman with caked on make up

>>7411242
and your point is?

>>7410440
are we looking at the same picture here

>>7411430
shit it's supposed to be a response to >>7411215

>>7411234
>>7411242

pics?

>>7408774
omg that's fucking horrible...
I'm surprised they were able to get away with that

>>7411435
Looking from the no-makeup pics of her in this post, she seems average tbh

>>7411952
I assumed she abused PS but not that much, damn. Kinda disappointed.

>>7412271
she still looks the same, though

She's awesome

>>7412984
That Barnaby wig is way too dark.
Stop defending her. She's above average tier, but nothing omfg amazing. She just looks good for being in her mid 30s or whatever

>>7412993
smells like jelly.

>>7412984
Is she using shoulder pads?

>>7412995
Oh stop. I've been cosplaying for 11 years now. I have no need to be jelly. Just because someone isn't fapping to Reika or has a different opinion, doesn't make them jelly. All this newfag

>>7413004
seems like it

>>7413013
Oh so you're an old, shriveled up, jelly cunt. I see. Shut up grandma.

>>7413013
sorry people don't appreciate you after all these years </3

>>7413019
Oh you're hilarious. I'm only 28, but alright.

>>7413025
I'm appreciated by the people who matter. I'm not interested in cosplay fame.. Anyway, it's silly. Reika is good, but she isn't great. If someone has a different opinion, it's pointless to act so childish.

>>7413029
And yet you roll up in here insulting a cosplayer... childish indeed!

i really love her works

>>7413228
Woah that was fast

>>7413245
i wonder how long it took to make it

>>7412984
This is the only guy I could go gay for. Thank goodness it's a chick.

bump

>>7407451
Why does she, in all the fucking pictures, look like a dude? Is that why she cosplays so many male characters?

>>7413706
Some people are just made for crossdressing. I know I've felt pretty conflicted about most of these pictures; not sure if turned on by the prospect of guy or grill.

>>7411215
When was the last time you saw a teenage boy? I graduated high school only recently, and a lot of guys look older than they really are.

ugh it took her like what, 2 days?

>>7413228
>>7413245
>>7414279
Y'all sound pretty thirsty for this chick. Fuck, I know I am.

>>7414307
Welcome to the club

>>7414279

Looks like shit, stop sucking Reika's dick.

>>7414855
Be gone, jellyfag

>>7399448
All I see is no maneuver gear.
I guess there really are no professional cosplayers

>>7411406
>>7415021

>>7415021
see
>>7399236
>>7405598
>>7411406

bye

>>7415084
Why does she cosplay so many dudes? Is she fishing for s-class relationships?

>>7415096
it brings the fangirls to the yard

>>7415161
does she have any female cosplays?

>>7415278
did you even read the thread?
see
>>7408781
>>7406666
>>7402027
and >>7408709 kind of at least

is sheryl the only female cosplay she had done?

She has a manly jaw line, broad shoulders, flat chest, and thick fingers so of course she looks amazing in crossplay costumes and not as good as a female. Even in her normal pics like >>7408935 and >>7408935 she looks like a trap. I think 95% of her fans are just heartbroken that she doesn't have a real penis.

>>7413706
because, she's cosplaying a dude. Which is probably why she's trying to look like one.
So what if she wants to do mostly guy

>>7415896
>I think 95% of her fans are just heartbroken that she doesn't have a real penis.

I confess I am part of that 95%

>>7416161
same here, anon

>>7416466
Does anyone have comparison pics taken by someone who is not her? I'd like to see if she's even prettier without the photoshop.

>>7416472
see
>>7411952

I'd say she's pretty good with make up, but you can tell that she's doing a lot of contouring on her nose to make it less asian flat and it looks like she's hiding some eyebags. I don't think she does a lot of shooping, but between the make up and the typical japanese crank the brightness way up in the photos it's hiding her more unflattering features well.

>>7416482
agreed. her contouring looks very obvious

I was Reika's translator for a local event, and she was nothing short of wonderful.
She was really friendly and professional- posing for hours despite being sick.

I don't get the hate some anons here have for her.

>>7416701
Oh my god-
Now I can't wait even more to meet her. She seems really calm and sweet. I'd love to talk to her if I get the opportunity.

>>7416701
I don't think anyone hates her? She over does the contouring sometimes though.

>>7416855
I don't hate her, I'm just taken aback at how everyone's acting like she is the angel of cosplay descended to earth. She's got good make up skills, but over does it sometimes, and some of her construction is a bit sloppy, but it seems like speed is more important to her than perfection in getting new stuff out which would explain that.

>>7417109
yep

>>7417329
I wonder if there is a way to make purple hair look vaguely natural (somewhat like that, just in IRL, with no PS). I really like the color but when you dye hair or wear a wig it inevitably ends up looking like a plastic mop.

Oh I want her non-existent D.
>and rvialop


the captcha tells me,

whatever rvialop is...

is there any other popular (and good) japanese cosplayer other than her and Kaname?

>using tumblr

You know the quality is worse, right?

>>7418018
whoever in the top 10 ranking on worldcosplay

I think she's great

>>7418018
Tumblr fangirl usually cream for touya hibiki and sakuya. Sometimes i see many other good japanese cosplayer on worldcosplay but they're not popular enough

>>7398776
Went to Singapore, got hugs with Kaname 3 days in a row. Saw Reika.

>>7418421
there's nothing special about touya and sakuya's eyemakeup is way too much most of the time

are people aware Kaname is older than reika

>>7418531
how old is he? It's hard to predict since he started cosplay like mid-2000 and he looks pretty young back then.

>>7404204
At some point she was at an event with Onnies and they were all over each other and people started shipping ReiOnnies.... pretty sure there's a page for that too

>>7418540
38

>>7418605
after finding out that two members of dance crew Arsmgana are in their 30s, nothing surprise me anymore

damn, and to think that Kaname's old enough to be father to some of his fangirls..

>>7418618

and most of them have no idea

>>7418605
How did you know this, anon?

>>7418703
i wonder what would be their reaction when they found out

I'm just curious

http://strawpoll.me/1289858

>>7419609
>those boxes

>>7419904
I feel like the bi results don't really count for much. I'm curious as to if people are attracted to her femininity or masculinity. with bisexuals it's kinda just "do you like her face or not"

>>7419921
Yeah, I'm curious about that too but I wanted to try and give everyone as much representation.

>>7419956
ah well I appreciated the thought!

>>7419965
No problem Anon.

Oh and I guess I'll talk about my answer so maybe others will too. I put "no, straight female". I think Reika does a very good job at portraying anime "pretty-boys", though even if she was an actual male, I still wouldn't feel attraction because I'm into very masculine males and not those more effeminate types.

>>7419904
Yes, straight male.
>does this make me 40% homosex?

her forehead, though..

Sooo what you're telling me is
Reika is for women like JNig is for guys?

Think about it, they both us a lot of photoshop, people really REALLY like them for their looks, they don't look their ages and they have a ridiculous repertoire of costumes.
However, I do recognize that a) Reika makes her stuff for sure and that shes pretty great at it and seems to be a genuinely fantastic person

>>7420163
She uses a lot of make up, not photoshop. The photoshop is really basic and routine stuff. Lighting, tone, clone stamping out pimples or circles. Though the make up Reika uses is costume/stage make up, Jnig just uses the same raccoon make up all the time.

I didn't really know who Reika was before the thread, but this is like saying Yugioh and pokemon are the same thing because they're card games marketed to sell shit to kids.

The similarities end at the popularity thing and the fact that they are cosplayers

>>7420163
basically yeah

>>7420163
How many chicks thirsty for JNig? If the answer is Splash Mountain, then yes.

obviously Reika is much better than Jnig

>>7420163
Reika is just popular within the cosplay community though. I know a lot of people that are fans of JNig and have absolutely no interest in cons, cosplaying or even anime. Not sure how all these people found out about her but I was surprised at the amount of casual highschool and college friends I've seen follow her and like her pictures on social media.

>>7420195
are they men?

>>7420204
A mix actually. Though 2/3 of them are men.

>>7418605
event organizing, had him as a guest

>>7419352
Not the anon you replied to, but he is in his late 30's, I remember reading an interview with him awhile back and one of the questions were about his age in relation to cosplay (since he started when he was already fairly old).

>>7420215
not even contouring can save that

her 3dmg is the best i've seen so far

>>7420297

Surely you're joking.

>>7420303
surely you have any proof that other good 3DMG exist?

>>7420312
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUr452RXJgw

>>7420314
i like how people creamed themselves over this but it's probably considered as hazard at cons/gathering. Imagine if you accidentally lauched the iron wire

>>7420337
Peace bonds. But the way it shoots is just adorable.
>I am a real 3DMG!~
>No, really, I am.
>See? I shoot! And it sticks! See!?
>I can wind up, too!
>I am a real 3DMG...

>>7399242
I wish I get pussy...

>cosplaying men with 5 pounds of makeup on
As a man I think she looks like shit. It's yuri bait.

>>7420460
You're not her target audience anyway

>>7420225
Damn, he's already in his 30s when he started?

I love her so much

>>7420059
I said "yes, bi gal" but I realize it's just because I find her attractive personally. Also I tend to be attracted to people who could pass as a different gender.

>>7420246
It made her nose look like a failed plastic surgery

I find it interesting that the janitor hasn't removed this thread even though it singles out one cosplayer

>>7422123
i actually don't mind since there are few thread about japanese or even asian cosplayers overall. Thanks to this thread I finally know Kaname's age

>>7422123
probably because it's not very vendetta-y

>>7422123
>Discussing an individual in general isn't against the rules as long as it's done within context of cosplay/lolita/j-fashion.

Anyone's meeting her at Anime Matsuri?

>>7420117
10/10 would kiss that forehead

>>7422358
Me! I'm so excite

her latest pic

>>7422392
I know you want this

Why do i feel like she's not in a relationship?

>>7422820
I don't think she even has time for that, she's constantly producing new costumes and flying around the world for cons and such

>>7415556
Is this Count Cain?

>>7422899
No, that's Levi. Sorry

>>7422883
i'm sure she spent the last 2 christmas overseas for cosplay so I also think she's single

>>7423637

>>7422491
I can see why she is so inclined to dress as a man instead

>>7423791
I would still plow into her from behind at the 7th space velocity.

>>7420460 I agree on this, didn't like her at first because of it
most of the Japanese cosplayers go over the top with make up

that feel when your make up skills will never be as good as hers

she's flying to Houston today

that boots tho

>>7424186
For which event?

>>7424186
Is someone going to tell her to wear a seatbelt properly once she gets to America? Or is that going to get in the way of omg important selfie time

>>7424428
Judging from the reflection in her glasses, she's riding in the backseat. Most American states don't even legally require backseat passengers to wear their seat belt. I'm not even super impressed with Reika's stuff as a cosplayer, but Jesus Christ, stay mad

>>7424186
I can't wait to meet her

Anime Matsuri
>>7424438
Texas requires seatbelts at all times, in any seat. But if you stay still and lean in your chair most of the time you can get away without one.

i'd kill to be able to go to anime matsuri and have the chance to meet her... curse my californian living and classes ;_;

My favourite Levi, tbh

Sometimes I feel like laughing when her fans call her 'Reika-sama'.

>>7424438
k, bye 2 ur waifu's face after she gets flung from the car in a crash

>>7428389
stay mad

So how is Anime Matsuri? Has anyone met her?
