World Cosplay Summit Part 4: Runners Up

When researching what resonates it's almost as important to look at the second place winners as it is the first.  Sometimes you can see some really great ideas, and sometimes you can figure out what just didn't work as well as the first-place team.  Here's the runners up for Team USA:



Wild Garden Cosplay 2013 Second Place

It's interesting to note that (as far as I can tell) this was the first year that second place (Wild Card entries) was allowed to compete at the finals. Wild Garden was first place at their qualifier at Nan Desu Kan, andthey significantly improved their staging to come out second overall at the finals. Here's their Nan Desu Kan skit for comparison:
