I'm still shocked that my previous article covering FanimeCon 2009 received so many views here on Bitmob. If that's the kind of stuff you guys want, well... have some more! I just finished up a fine weekend at the Sakura-Con anime convention in my hometown of Seattle. There were a ton of great costumes on display, many of which originate in the world of video games. I'd like to showcase those cosplayers to you in my usual format, which means an insane number of pictures. Please note that my knowledge of anime is limited, so I was unable to identify every character I photographed.
