The ones that stood out for me:
-Blaziken & Rayquaza. I totally want to do a pokemon cosplay next year!
-The crazy awesome scythe guy & scale guys from the masquerade (you know who i'm talking about)
All the Gundam Cosplayers
There were several good ones. I have to give props to Antispiral Nia for being fairly unusual, timely, and daring - and pulling it off quite well. I would've liked to see the blue highlights in the hair, but everything else in the costume was spot-on.
Speaking of Gurren Lagann, I saw not one, but two good Yoko cosplays. One even including that massive rifle. Amazing.
Also, the Team Fortress 2 Heavy with a big Sasha - you are awesome.
My favorite cosplays were the creative/funny ones. My favorite was Cloud in Drag:

Second favorite was Gannon with the different expressions:

I also liked the Brain Age guy:

And this Aeris was really good:

I don't know what character this girl was but I really liked her costume:

Jesus. \0/
The lady in the red/gold velvet dress and big hat is Catherina Sforza from Trinity Blood.
Props to the Captain Falcons 8)
I really loved the Trinity Blood cosplayers. It's one of my Fave Anime/manga.
You guys were so awesome, I wish I could have taken pics.

That Nia was amazing!!
I managed to get a few pictures with her, but I forgot to get contact information : P.
(I was the Simon in Garlock btw.)
Whoever screamed "Whooooo!!" when we were trying to do a dramatic pose, I give you props, cause it spawned a really funny picture XD"
...and that Soldier Blue on Sunday!!
I was Jomy on Saturday ><
Soldier Bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeee~
I saw two Nana's on different days and they were both amazing! They're definitely perfect. XD
My favorite hands-down was the Harvest Moon guy walking around and doing the proposal pose with people who asked to take pictures of him. That was freaking adorable and made me giggle so hard. Rock on, Harvest Moon guy.

I tried finding him because I was crossplaying Nami from Wonderful Life! I was so disappointed. :(

Aw, what a shame you missed him! That would have been delightful.
Indeed it would have been. :(
Anyone see this guy?

lol Elmo as Tayuya from Naruto. He was playing around with the muppet pretty well too XD
i saw someone dress as the Mongoose from Nodame Cantabile. I never thought I'd see someone do that. It was WAY too awesome.
Hard Gay and Jesus were cool as well xD
The Sonic cosplayer in shades. I gave up on my sonic cosplay because it started looking too Disney theme park, but that guy managed to make a casual-yet-awesome look.
Seriously, I wish I had a camera to take his pics. Anyone have any, pm me.
we know it was you amon x:
OMG the suzaku's and the lelouches D: <3
especially since the whole spinzaku thing was awesome
The Nunally. X3 But I was afraid to ask if the wheelchair was just a prop... -.-;
There was one awesome Fai.
The Lina Inverse cosplay. I loved her "floating/spinning" apple. XD
(her whole group were pretty cool and well made. Too bad I didn't see them until after fanime. [pictures.] The Amelia was cool.)
My friend's scholar. Final Fantasy XI I think.
Mudkip!
The Macross Frontier cosplayers. (there was only the two girls I think)
The Rena from Higurashi.
A lot really. XD;
The heavy from Team Fortress 2 really stands out in my mind as a very excellent and perfectly excuted cosplay.
I also was impressed by a few very well done Death the Kids from Soul Eater, and some of the RO and Prince of Tennis and TTGL cosplay.
The more I think the more people come to mind XD;; But any cosplay that the person looks just like the intended character to me is a cosplay that merits attention : 3
Mojo Jojo and Captain Commando. I would have NEVER expected to see those characters at fanime.
