IT’S OUT! Otaku House Cosplay Idol 2011 – North America Finalists

F.I.N.A.L.L.Y. We now unveil the 40 Finalists from the 1600 contestants from 8 groups in the North America category of the Otaku House Cosplay Idol 2011. The qualifiers have reached an epic close, and while most of the Finalists would surely have an idea of who they are by now, the rest of us are incredibly excited to look at the results of 4 months of voting.

A reminder that ALL OTHER CATEGORIES are still OPEN for new entries! Click here to join the epic Otaku House Cosplay Idol 2011 Contest! (Check out our FAQ for deadline details)

A few things to take note of for the Finalists:

1. All Finalists will receive an email from the Otaku House Cosplay Idol Team on what to prepare for the Finals to be held in September by the end of the week.
2. Finalists who do not manage to provide us with the required information by the required deadline will be replaced with the next best player in their group.
3. The mechanics of the Finals will be announced to the public before the Finals.

We had an amazing time reviewing the many many talented cosplayers in the past 4 months, and it’s a pity we could only choose the Top 5 out of 200 in each group. Alot came quite close too! Irregardless, I hope everybody had fun!

And now without further ado, the North American Cosplay idol Finalists! Please give them a round of applause for making it this far!
