When it comes to cosplaying popular characters, it doesn’t take much to gain the disapproval of hardcore fans. Certain interpretations are more easily accepted than others, but some Attack on Titan fans took issue with cosplayer Ichiha Hamatsu‘s take on Sasha.
Hamatsu spent part of Comiket dressed as Mai Shiranui from Fatal Fury and King of Fighters, but she didn’t leave that skimpy style behind when switching over to Sasha. While her unique Attack on Titan cosplay wasn’t quite in character for the potato lover, it definitely got plenty of attention on Day 4.

What do you think? Does it even matter as long as everyone is having fun? To end on a positive note, here’s Hamatsu as Mai:
