If you’ve familiarity at all with the local and worldwide cosplay scene in general, you’d be familiar with all the hubbub that’s going around with the new Otacool 2 magazine. Otacool is a magazine feature for cosplays. In particular, Otacool 2 features cosplay from around the world.

Cosplayers are invited to submit photographs of themselves to the magazine via DannyChoo.com and from there, get picked to feature in the magazine and if lucky enough, featured on the front cover of Otacool 2.

But this isn’t what this entry is about. Having seen some of the “drama” on Facebook, I decided to take a look at the front cover features.

Do take note that while I do try not to take sides, the Internet… speaks for itself. More so when you go onto 4chan’s /cgl/.

In the line-up, amongst which I recognize are;

1. Danny Choo – No surprises
2. Kaname – Still no surprise
3. FranDan – Questionable reputation in /cgl/.
4. Alodia – Also has questionable reputation in /cgl/. Honestly, some cosplayers have BETTER costumes than her.
5. Yaya Han – Boob job, she looks quite unnatural due to bust size. Her feature photo is from an older cosplay set.

Luckily enough, I think we DO have some cosplayers from Singapore being featured on the front page. However, two other things have caught my eye.

Sakana Sashimi

Now if you haven’t already seen it, she has a “fan-site”, which is amazing after just one cosplay! Debuted after she was featured in DC for her submission of her meido cosplay in HiMM(He is My Master). Gained +4 to notoriety after leader of fansite creates thread to introduce her in CF Forums.

Saya

If you’ve not seen her galleries, do check out wakarimasenlol.com, Linkinstreet’s blog. He’s got a bucketload of cosplay just of Saya. Also featured on Sankaku(which counts for something I guess).

Now comes the kicker… IF Danny Choo doesn’t count, WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE MALE COSPLAYER IN THE ENTIRE FRONT FEATURE LINEUP!?
