Title: Opinions on Cosplay Melee
Post by: Tomas Cosplay on April 27, 2017, 06:03:48 PM
So we all know the disaster that was Heroes of Cosplay. After that, most of us were hesitant to ask for another show about cosplayers. However, currently Cosplay Melee on SyFi is airing its first season and honestly I'm really enjoying it. I'm learning new tricks in costume making than before and getting my own ideas on certain costumes as well! However I was wondering what everyone else has been thinking?
For those that haven't seen it it's basically a chopped style competition show with four new cosplayers every time. They have 8 hours to build an accessory for a character they create within the guidelines given corresponding to their theme (so far themes have ranged from Anime to Space Operas to even Game of Thrones), get judged, one eliminated and one challenge winner chosen. They are given one more restriction before they have two days to finish before they walk the runway for the judges and an ultimate winner is chosen.
And the thing is, they do have a lot of great competitors, a range of diversity, range of skill, etc. They all interact with each other how any other cosplayer you'd see at fanime or any other con would. They're not traveling competitors nor do they get jelous and b*tchy with each other. They give each other tips and tricks and all are great sports when they win and loose.
However, don't take my word for it, go watch it yourself. I really do wanna know what everyone else thinks about this show.
