One of the most amazing parts of Virtual Crunchyroll Expo weekend was Crunchyroll-Hime’s Cosplay Cup, which ended with a bunch of winners from a lineup of incredible finalists. Now that we’re a few days out from the event, this is a great time to take a look back at those who emerged victorious in each category.
Finalists for Hime’s Cosplay Cup hailed from all over the world, and winners were carefully chosen by a panel of judges that included Creature of Habit, GSTQ Fashions, Rock M Sakura, and Kamui Cosplay. Add in hosts Vampy Bit Me and Mario Bueno, as well as all the staff involved, and you have a truly global show that had everyone giving it their all.
Now, without further ado, here’s a roundup of the results.
