Synopsis

Heroes of Cosplay is a tantalizing docu-series that lifts the veil on the imaginative world of cosplay competition, because fans at the comic book conventions don’t merely dress up as their favorite character; they also compete to see who’s the best! The series follows cosplayers of all levels, from legend Yaya Han, to rising stars and newbies, as they make a splash at comic book conventions around the country. The series will dive deep into their lives, following their process as they create extravagant and visually arresting costumes each week. These nine constantly defy odds and race against the clock to transform themselves into amazing fictional characters that push the boundaries between fantasy and reality, all in hopes of impressing the convention judges to win a cash prizes and take their cosplay stardom to new heights.

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Kristina Jensen There are many shows that I enjoy watching, but none make me smile so much as this one. I appreciate the behind the scenes that let you know the individuals as people you can cheer for, you share their hopes and frustrations with them. It gives you the sense of being there with them, not just watching them. In addition it is very exciting to see the different venues the show visits and to watch people just having fun and enjoying life with an almost childlike innocence. That is something all of us as we age should try to grasp hold of and never let go, this show helps you do that! I realize that cosplay may be a niche thing, but if you broaden your horizons a bit, watch the show and let yourself have fun, it will draw you in.
oceangray I've watched every episode so far and can say it is great. Yes some parts are staged (its a TV show Derrrrrr) I find this does not take the magic away. I love how the people create different costumes, I love the original spin on old classics (I will mention nothing). SOme of the people clearly have more artistic talent than others, some rely on partners, in varying degrees. Conventions and Expo's are about expression, fun and friends..Unless you claim to make all the pieces of your costume yourself I see no harm done. I attend Expo's and Conventions in the UK, but I am relatively new to the scene, only being part of it for 2 years. I did not know so many were held in the US and love the way it has broadened my insight into this. I thought Dragon Con was the one, jeez how naive am I :). If you ever fancied going to any kind of Con or Expo, check this out, ye sure remove the staged TV parts, and look beneath the surface...There you will find, Magic, Mystery and a great little community. Thumbs up and keep em coming
galahad58-1 Cosplay wants to bring role play/costume making to the public. It wants you to see/experience the competition. The problem is all of the drama (fake drama also because the camera is in someone's face for all of it) that is prevalent in every single competition show nowadays. This show would have benefited more by showing how the contestants made their costumes and their creative ideas. By also having Victoria on the show you have damaged any positives that you could have had for the Cosplay community. First off: she does nothing for herself and has a boyfriend who she "uses" to make every single outfit for her; secondly: she just gripes on the boyfriend and complains about every single thing; third: she made a disparaging comment on how heavy people should not wear costumes (and in a world that want you not to be judgmental of their work -- she is a hypocrite) and lastly she is just a nasty, negative, spiteful person who is a bad example of a Cosplayer.
poe426 Over the years, I've seen some amazing costumes at comic book conventions- but few as elaborate as what we see here. I had no idea that "playing dress-up" could be so time-consuming- or so expensive. The desperation some of these contestants experience is understandable when one factors in the amount of time, the workload and the out-of-pocket expense(s). By far the most impressive of the cosplayers (for me) is Yaya Han (or, as Howard Wolowitz of THE BIG BAND THEORY might put it: "Yaya YEAH!!!"): I can't think of a better ambassador for cosplay than Miss Han; anyone who thinks that cosplay is just for kids only needs to take a long look at her...
