Old School Otakus Take a Walk Down Memory Lane with Nostalgic Scapbook of Cosplay Snapshots from the 90s

Welcome, long-time anime fans and stans. We live in the best of times for cosplaying. You can order just about any anime cosplay costume and all of its accessories on Amazon for cheap. If you want something high-quality, you can swing by Etsy and pay a little more coin for a more accurate product. If you've got any artistic talent, you can even make an amazing costume at home by following along the thousands of online tutorials on YouTube and TikTok detailing how to make realistic armor with EVA craft foam, how to properly style a wig, and how to give yourself anime eyes with make up. Truly, the possibilities are endless.

Back in the 90s, there weren't nearly as many people interested in anime in the West as there are now, and only a small fraction of them were into it enough to try their hand at cosplaying. The homemade costumes of early, dedicated anime fans are incredibly charming and a testament to their passion for Japanese media. If you're an old school anime fan, take a stroll down memory lane by scrolling down and perusing this nostalgic scrapbook of 90s cosplay snapshots taken by photographer hayame-sb.
