Cosplay
I don't think theres one up for this yet...
So here it is... i guess.. Anyone here cosplay? If so who as ^_^? Do you make it yourself or buy it ? what do you like about cosplaying? what dont you like about cosplaying? I cosplay... but i haven't done lots due to money... it is a quite expensive hobby at times... (which is sometimes something i dont like...) but most will agree that its worth it :p <3 personally, i like cosplaying with my friends, and going to conventions and seeing everyone's cosplays, and how much they've worked on it.. how they did it and stuff.. AND POCKY <3 =3 it's nice to meet new people at conventions too.. when you are in cosplay group... |
Anyone who likes cosplay?
I want to cosplay as an anime or game character in our Japanese Art Festival held by our school, but I still cannot make my decision which character shall I cosplay as. I just found 2 good choices: Lightning and Orihime Inoue , which one is better? How about your opinions?
Greetings. |
I've done alot of cosplay and the way to make your choice is simple which one will be the most fun for you!!!!
Also think about hair colour. Your hair or a wig. as cost can be a factor as well. Do you sew or are you buying? I have done Orihime before she was fun! |
I'd do Lightning . . .Orihime doesn't seem like the funnest character to be . . .unless you plan to make a game of stalking Ichigo and yelling "KUROSAKI-KUN" every five seconds in a panick-y matter :p

Cosplay is actually a fashion now, isn't it? I hope it'll engulf the world and become an accepted and highly regarded global fashion scene. Many claim it to be pretentious and childish, but they don't know anything. :) Cafes that essentially offer anime-styled maid/butler services are now pretty popular, so there's some reason to get involved in the trend. Needless to say, anime conventions are quite a hit also. I saw some pictures on youtube and they're impressively realistic. Check out the Sephiroth one, I forget which videos they are (they should be by the same poster) but they're totally eye-candy.
Who cares what other people say? Cosplay FTW. :cool: |

I'm pretty sure you're making the mistake of calling the eccentric cosplayers.
Although, weird fashion is always cool fashion in my books - as long as it's not too crazy. Even I have my limits. |

@Swordmaster Depends on who you see as eccentric and who's not. People who live as cosplayers? People who have their costumes on for more than a day? People who give out autographs because they're believed to be the epitome of the characters? Fashion is relative; that's something you gotta realize. I'd never call someone's fashion statement crazy, unless they obviously hurt others. |

They don't have to be worn by models to be globally accepted. When I say globally accepted, it means that you can see a portion of each populace wearing them, every now and then. I'm not actually basing my perspectives on sites and pics, I recently saw the cafe thing on local news and anime conventions are factual occurences you can't deny either. Cosplay is something that is impregnating the outside reality with its come-to-life fantasies, and its unique and radical outlook. As a fashion statement, it has to be somewhat appealing to young people, no matter how ridiculous it might seem to the older generation. @Yumikoo Awesome! :D |

Eh? I think I forgot I posted here... Anyways - what you seem to be describing is a mix of craziness and cosplaying. Craziness is awesome, most of the time. If someone makes a crazy fashion statement, it's all good - I give 'em the thumbs up. Crazy cosplayers not wearing any underclothing in a revealing cosplay... that is crazy - in the bad way. |
Quote:
By underclothing, you mean undergarments? Sure, that's way crazy. I wasn't talking about scanty cosplays suited to gawking old men and depraved sluts, I was talking about a fantasy cosplay meant for visual recreation and marvel, and fulfilling an intrinsic sense of longing for a come-to-life character. |
Welp,
no one has posted on heree yet, sooo.. Yeshh I love cosplaying! ♥ but it's veryyyy expensive. D: So me and my friends usually mix and fix normal clothes to make up our own versions.! =3 |
Hi misfitmosher, there's already a cosplay thread here, so I just merged the two. Thanks and keep up the posts!
I love cosplaying btw. :) |
I cosplay, my favorite has been Saber from Fate/Stay Night. I make all my costumes.
|
Only time I would really get the chance to cosplay would be halloween if that can even be considered cosplay
Dressed up as Ken from street fighter and strangly enough I nearly got into a fight on a street =D This year I'm going to be Sora from kingdom hearts 2, heres hoping I can magic a keyblade into my hand and get to beat some baddys up |
I've been told I look a bit like Mad Bull. As crappy as those OVAs are I kinda get a kick out of that.
  I actually wasn't cosplaying. I was fresh from work :mtongue: Here is from when I tried to pull off a random badguy from (take your pick which) Metal gear Solid:   |

Thanks, but Glocktalk and AR15.com already have Me immortalized in demotivationals as "SON OF MALL NINJA" lol
In retrospect, there's probably not many things funnier than a fat gunman lol  |
I will cosplay a gothic lolita in my elegant gothic lolita dress.

Hey there! I cosplay since 2006 <3 And I just love it! I sew every costume myself... What I like most about cosplaying?
It just includes everything I need to be happy<3 For example: Me as Akaito from "Vocaloid" - Book fair 2009 with my personal soul-mate as Kaito!   greetz~ Raku,. |
