We’re spotlighting talent in the cosplay community!

Every month, The Variant showcases cosplayers who display talent, creativity, and a positive voice within the cosplay community.

Last June we did something special because we were headed to Colossalcon; a 4 day anime convention in Sandusky, Ohio at the Kalahari Resort & Waterpark. As I write this we’re currently at the Kalahari Resort one more time for another week of pure magic and chaos.
So we did Anime Pool Party Part 2!!!

Just like last year’s Anime Pool Party, we’ll be taking brand new shots of our
Spotlights while we’re at Colossalcon and posting them as we traverse the month
of June!!

As far as our Anime Pool Party 2 main feature, we’ve got 5 of our
best Cosplayers for you to enjoy!!

We have:
FyreHeart Cosplay as Makima from Chainsaw Man
Lunardahlia as Morrigan from Darkstalkers
