[Anby cosplay] Zenless Zone Zero Anby Try-On In-Depth Cosplay Review & Wearing Experience

The very day this Zenless Zone Zero Anby cosplay costume by Manjiong arrived, I unboxed and tried it on immediately. This time, beyond looking forward to photoshoots, I experienced this outfit more from the perspective of a Cosplay review.

First, I must rave about the cropped vest of the outer techwear outfit! Its fabric texture is truly amazing—it feels like a substantial, structured high-tech fabric with just the right crispness so it won't sag. What surprised and delighted me most is that all the intricate mechanical accessories, rails, buckles, and tags were pre-attached to the garment. You don't have to fiddle with diagrams to lace straps or snap buttons yourself; it is genuinely ready-to-wear right out of the package, sparing the awkward hassle of spending half an hour assembling parts like with many other cosplay outfits.

The matching white tube top underneath is quite practical too, coming with built-in padding so you don't need to prep extra undergarments. However, for a petite person like me, the tube top is slightly long and felt a bit loose when worn. Modifying it was super easy: I simply removed the inner padding and folded the upper edge inward a few times before putting it on. The length fit perfectly, without compromising the overall styling in the slightest.

For the lower half, the black pleated skirt features great tailoring and durable fabric. Out of the package, the pleats were flattened in transit, so a quick pass with a steamer or iron is needed to bring out the crisp, knife-sharp pleats—a common trait with pleated skirts rather than a flaw. The size S waist measurement is very accurate; it sits right at the narrowest part of my waist, and paired with the black belt buckle, it cinches the waistline beautifully for a very slimming look.

Moving on to the leg details of this stocking outfit: the black over-the-knee socks conform nicely to the legs without rolling down or slipping. In particular, the asymmetric design paired with the white printed patterns on the socks matches the character's setting exceptionally well. The thigh garter is also adjustable, with an invisible elastic band on the inner lining so that even if your thighs have a bit of fullness, it won't dig in to leave unsightly red marks, making the wearing experience very comfortable.

For footwear, it comes with platform boot covers, complete with two small ring accents and strap accessories meant for decoration. Personally, I felt the boot covers ran slightly large and didn't fit as snugly around the feet as some other brands. However, I wore a pair of chunky white dad sneakers inside; once they filled out the boot covers, that mecha-style chunkiness and accuracy emerged immediately, while visually elongating my height.

The backpack and mechanical tubing design on the back are sturdy and well-structured, securely fixed with buckles behind the body without wobbling around. I sourced the weapon prop from another shop (Sanmu), and to be frank, I wouldn't particularly recommend it—the overall paint job and detail finishing were a bit rough compared to the high quality of the outfit. On the upside, it's lightweight, so one-handed holding and swinging poses weren't tiring at all.

For the wig, I used an unstyled base wig from Sanfenwangxiang, lightly trimming and texturing it myself, which coordinated seamlessly with this techwear outfit look. Overall, this Manjiong costume is designed with great understanding of feminine proportions—the off-shoulder and high-waist cut is super slimming, and wearing it is effortless without tedious assembly, making it ideal for offline anime conventions or outdoor photoshoots.
