So me and Katsuro are going to the Anime Detour together in 135 days...We both live in the 1337 state of Minnesota, so we're going together and macking the ladys...and we're going cosplaying!

But we don't know who to go as...could be from a game or manga or anime or anything, but we can't decide. You guys should know what we look like seeing as we flooded the Post Thread with our pics...

Suggestions?

PS: This is really more of a social gathering/road trip/costume decision kinda thing than about anime. So I think the OC was better for it...

Yeah, Dakota and I'll have lot's o pictures after we're done XD

Of us having sweet girls beside us. But enough of that ;P You're probably jealous as it is~

I'm kinda curious if anyone here has cosplayed before 0o; and also; if anyones's wondering, Dakota and I have never met before. XD


EDIT: I need to make this more awesome-er.

Anyways...it's three days, so I'm willing to make two costumes. One's for sure going to be Faust VIII from Shaman King. Because there's no one cooler than a guy who carries his dead wife around. Otherwise ... ya. I need another idea.

Basically I'm skinny so...don't pick out Bruno [elite 4] or something; and also, I'm not going as someone from pokemon XD I'm not embarrased~ I just want to look more badass than that. ^_______________^

Greg [JKaizer] is going too. But I don't think he's excited about cosplaying XP

Oh oh I know. I got someone great you should go as.
Go as Yuna from FFX-2. XD
*Gets hit* Fine, be that way D *Walks off*. XD


But really, how about Squall from FFVIII? Or better yet, Could from FFVII. Got any animes you watch? You could pick someone from them.

I second it~ =o

Hey, one of *my* (male) friends is going as Lacus from Gundam SEED, complete with the dress. (XDD I'm going as Kira, apparently~) So you could pull off a Yuna. Maybe even songstress.

Um, yeah. XD; The Gundam SEED characters are always recognizeable. And Bleach is pretty popular too...same with FMA. :O

A pic should be taken of both you and posted on PC XD. I'd to see that. XD
And you see how D hasn't said no to my idea? Meaning he might do it. XD

Yeah...especially FF. I bet there are gonna be 30 trillion Tidus's and Squalls...

If you guys have a pic of the cool character...
True, there will be too many FF characters there.
But come on, you'll be like the only guy going as Yuna, and do like Erica said, get a songstress outfit, it'll make you stand out more. XD
Ok go as Kratos then. He's from ToS so it isn't as big as FF and surely they won't have all that many Kratos Cos-players there.
On top of that, Erica will like it since she raves about Kratos. XD

In case anyone is confused, the male friend mentioned is *not* me. I am a male, and her friend, just not that one.

Paul, you're going as Faust right? So you just need one more costume.. Um, maybe Ren or Yoh? I think Yoh's more cosplayed then Ren, though.. Dakota, Dakota, what are we going to do about you? @[email protected] Just pick your favourite anime, then choose one or two characters from it.. But you guys have some time to decide XD;
i love you. </3

I have not yet seen a post regarding this, so . . .

A factor you may want to consider when cosplaying, is that of group cosplay. Finding a well-known character who is not "over-cosplayed" can be difficult. However, an advantage of group cosplay is that of a group often being slightly less common than single characters (though Final Fantasy, Inuyasha, Naruto, etc. still have many groups).

Also, though this may be obvious--or odd--to say, practice posing before going to the convention. It may seem ridiculous or vain. But, practicing truly does help.

If this is your first cosplay, consider the difficulty of your costume, the time required to create it, and the cost. It is alright to have a simple costume. The emphasis should be on creating the costume well.
