Post cosplays/characters you'd like to do, but are
afraid people won't recognize! This is basically a guilty pleasure Cosplay you'd absolutely love to do, but don't exactly have the motivation to make/wear due to it's popularity/scarcity.
>Obscure Manga
>Old Ass Anime/Manga you're not sure people will remember
>One Shot Series
>Cosplay so basic it's practically unrecognizable without a specific prop or other people from same series
Pic related I'd like to make and wear this to a con but because it's not exactly japanese, I'm a bit iffy about wearing it and people not recognizing him even though he's supposedly popular in Korea.
I'm pretty positive very few people would get this one. I never much got the idea that people really liked or were aware of Zombie Loan, despite it being a Peach-Pit series. I always really liked it though.

I still want to cosplay Tohru Honda, Fruits Basket was my first anime but I'm not sure anyone even remembers it.
>>9443712
>tohru
>obscure
Even in its day this game was hit or miss, and this character was only in the second half of the game.
If I could get a qt Meroko and Takuto I can fulfill my 12 year old self's weeb dream. I love her drill hair
So obscure there aren't even colour refs for the manga version of her design, and the anime took... Really shitty creative liberties with the designs and made 50% of them utter shit, including hers.
>>9443749
YES. THIS WAS MY FIRST MANGA <3
I'm tempted to cosplay as MoonMan
this son of a bitch. Need a friend to dress up as the Lion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4aAwOxdhUk
Not so much characters. But I collect Tabletop minis, though I don't play, I just like painting them.
I've already cosplayed a Sister of Battle but I want to cosplay some Raging Heroes and Corvus Belli designs too. Especially CV. I love their minis, they're pretty cute.
>>9443712
People definitely remember it. It looks generic enough, but if you had a Kyo plushie it would be fine.
>>9440266
This would be so cool to see!! I think the high rate of turn around for characters in Masked Singer makes it harder for people to recognize, but kudos. If you took this to a kpop con, I'm sure people would recognize it-but hard to say at an anime con.
I've seen people "cosplay" BTS and Running Man by wear their merch/MV looks or for the latter, the jumpsuits with people's names on it. Still unrecognizable unless people watch Korean variety-and even then it took a double take for me because it looks like normal wear and not cosplay. So that might be a pro for this once because you are clearly cosplaying something.
>>9440266
So you want to be a King of Masked Singer contestant?
I want to cosplay some of Akiya Kageichi's original artwork. Though I'm not exactly sure how I'd go about that anyway.
Kazumi from Puella Magi Kazumi Magica
I feel like not a lot of people read it and it wont ever be recognizable
>>9444290
This is so my aesthetic. Thanks a ton for introducing me to a new artist!
>>9443749
Oh no I was her at my first con ever. Thank god no photos exist.
I actually cosplay Gilbert from Kaze to Ki no Uta occasionally, only once have I ever been recognized. Partly because it's a shoujo melodrama from the mid 70s, partly because original art is so stylized that it doesn't translate all that well to real life.
>>9444377
I think this one kinda falls into the same category as my LotGH cosplay. Most attendees had no idea who I was, but the source material is so well known among a certain older/more intense subset of fans that I ended up being recognized constantly, much to my surprise.
>>9444373
I've read this and I thought you were posting Natau no tobira
>>9444402
Keiko Takemiya draws every blonde as Gilbert so basically the same thing desu.
>>9444377
This would be a good pair cosplay with the crossbow-thing guy.
I've kind of always wanted to do a Yuri Ishtar cosplay - mainly from Red River being one of my favorite shoujo mangas ever, I don't understand why it isn't more widely read. Problems are mainly that she doesn't have a signature outfit at all, and you'd really have to be with other characters to be really recognized.
Googling for an image to use led me to see that there are a handful of people who have cosplayed from Red River, including a 10/10 Kail who I would recognize in a heartbeat, which brought me a lot of happiness. Maybe there is hope!
>>9444382
thats a great feeling! im a little worried because the cons i go to arent that big, so theres a lower chance someone will recognize and approach me. but on the other hand, it would be fantastic if it happened, since angels egg is one of my all time favorite movies
>>9444412
it would, wouldnt it? if only i knew someone whod be up for that...
>>9444425
She doesn't have a signature outfit but she has lots of pretty elaborate ones. Do one of those, execute it well, and you'll get attention regardless.
>>9444425
ugh i loved Red River. so much better than fucking fushigi yugi or whatever
Any Eurovision artist on my list. Ruslana is a long time dream. I'm European but I'm scared a winner from a decate ago would not get recognized.
not even too sure if final fantasy fans would get this one
One of my first mangas was RG Veda and I'd love to cosplay as Yasha but like yeah it's a bit obscure even if it is by clamp
>>9444544
Do it anon! I'd dance wild with you!
>>9443749
Came here to post that Meroko has always been a dream cosplay of mine
Komugi has been a dream cosplay of mine since 2004, but the series never got popular.
>>9443749
Meroko is a dream Cosplay and I made her last year for fanime. Sadly plans fell through with my takuto so I never got to do it. Decided to just cosplay solo while carrying my takuto cat doll around. Trying to convince one of my friends to be mitsuki
This was the progress, don't really care to blur out the background so sorry for the mess.
>>9445119
i actually just remembered this show exists last week. i'm willing to bet some people would recognize it.
>>9445129
Sorry if this is weird but your body is super cute oml (I just hope you aren't an anachan)
>>9443850
you need a don francisco man
It's a mobage but literally everything from PAD. I've already committed myself to doing one for sure but if it were more recognizable (and realistically executable lmao) I would just cosplay from PAD forever.
Shang Bu Huan from Thunderbolt Fantasy.
Hard to get people on board with puppet wuxia battles
I've heard that Glass Mask isn't that obscure in Japan but I have never met anyone that's heard about in the West.
>>9445263
I have no clue what it is but that dress is fucking adorable.
>>9444295
Man I love Kazumi Magica and I love the designs but I'd be way too uncomfortable in most of them to even try. I've considered Ayase and Luka though. One day, maybe.
Should have it done for Anime Boston actually!
From DMC.
>>9445329
OH MY GOD THANK YOUUU
>>9445263
Old shoujo fan anon from earlier in thread, I love Glass Mask too. ;_;
This thread is giving me hope for a lot of cosplays I wanna do actually
>>9445256
But those puppets were badass as fuck anon
>>9445220
I feel you anon. Working on this guy, wanna do 50 others too though.
>>9445329
You're gonna be mistaken for Abbath.
[spoiler]I'm guessing her was the inspiration for that character.[/spoiler]
Seeing as she's the self-insert of a mobile male idol game, her entire design is built around being as generic as possible. I'd also love to be any of the I-Chus, especially if I could convince a friend to be the Satsuki to my Mutsuki. Or two friends to be POP'N'STAR - girls dressing as boys dressing as girls.
>>9445393
Forgot picture
>>9443850
You should definitely do it anon, Sabado Gigante was the shit.
>>9444373
I wish I could see your cosplay, anon. I love this overdramatic shit, it was amazing.
>>9445256
Same feels anon, I've searching for people to do these puppets with me too. I just love their designs.
>>9444583
>tfw want to cosplay sherlotta too
Crystal Chronicles has some great outfits
I didn't care much for the game but I liked this character and his design.
I will cosplay Yumiko from Hellsing, I know Hellsing isn't obscure, but Yumiko alone looks like a generic nun
I have the wig pretty much done. I just have to bring in the waist of the uniform so it fits me a little better, especially the skirt. It was ordered one size bigger on purpose so that way the sleeves are long.
>>9446080
Silly me, I forgot to give the character's name. It's Mashiro Mitsumine from Engaged to the Unidentified.
>>9445346

This is an /a/nime meme, everyone will know it.
Especially that dance scene.
>>9443749
I always wanted to cosplay any of Arina Tanemura's mangas expecially Gentleman Alliance Cross.
>>9444583
>>9445686
I nostalgia so damn hard for the original. It feels so much more iconic for me. If I had the skills and money myself, I would've done it a long time ago.
>>9444583
DO it faggot.
>>9443712
There was a huge FB at SakuraCon this year. I also saw a lone Kyo.
>>9445263
I've never heard of that manga but that dress is 10/10
Pls do goldwork embroidery on black (dark green?) velvet anon you'll be the qtest cosplayer at the con
>>9445434
Well, I've selfposted this cosplay on a retro manga thread before so why not.
>>9446150
I'm also Xiu Min anon from above! I'm much lower level than you, but friend requested anyway.
>>9446252
Omg I forgot this existed. I used to love this manga.
...I like puppet stuff
>>9445220
>>9445346
>>9446030
>>9446150
I know the feeling, I cosplayer Bastet a while ago and everyone thought I was some random cat girl
>>9446318
anon I love your cosplay it's perfect! You look great!
>>9445119
Komugi was pretty memed up back in the day, oldfags will remember it.
I'd love to cosplay a number of 100% OJ characters. But I don't think the game is popular enough for me to be recognizable even with props.
>>9447376
I would totally cosplay Hime but that game is so much rng cancer I'd hate myself the entire time.
Am I missing something here? You all shit on popular cosplayers for being "attention seekers," but won't cosplay a character because it's not well-known enough? I thought gulls only cosplayed for "love of the character," because anyone wanting attention or recognition is apparently an irredeemable fake nerd slut.
Personally, I have no problem cosplaying obscure characters. Too much attention gets uncomfortable after a while. Getting stopped for pictures multiple times a minute is nice at first, but quickly starts to feel restrictive. Obscure characters allow me to maintain my high level of craftsmanship with less notice from others.
>>9447453
Personally I cosplay largely for the social aspect of it at cons, and it's hard to have conversations about the media you love enough to cosplay when there's no one around you who has any idea what it is.
You can cosplay something that's commonly recognized without just going FOTM anon.
>>9447453
Ya got some serious madonna-whore dichonomy goin on there anon.
>>9444295
Related unrelated i'd love to do a Tart Magica cosplay. Buttt same problem

I came here to post Tanemura, I'm glad to see so many anons like her too. I've done 4 costumes from her works but it's almost always a solo endeavor. I still want to make something from KKJ and Sakura Hime Kaiden and she has a newer manga with an aesthetic right up my alley. Pic related
>>9445220
I would love to cosplay Kano sometime, she's who got me into the game in the first place. Ilmina is a god dang cutie too.
>>9440266
>wanna cosplay
>don't want it to look like crap
>don't want to have to explain who I am every few feet
>mfw
I would love to do a Mermaid Melody group with 2 other girls. I would do Rina because I'm tall
SOMEONE DO THIS WITH Meeeee
Mr. Nobody (far left) or The Quiz (The green one with question marks)
My dream group is the entirety of the Brotherhood of Dada
>>9443847
I honestly want to make a Mac Tonight mask with a puppet jaw. Not because of Moon Man, but that would be a nice ironic bonus.
I have no idea how obscure this series is, but an old friend and I always talked about cosplaying Shinobu and Kaede together, but said friend kinda grew out of anime/cosplay, so I never got around to cosplaying her. I still kinda want to though.
>>9448020
I'd do this with you anon, where are you located?
>when the only image has very little detail.
>when all you know is: the top hat, cape and jacket are vermillion; blue walking stick; neat beard.
>when you want to cosplay from a novel.
The Baron Schuma, Lord of the Southern Sector; master of space manipulation.
>>9445129
How do you maintain your waistline holy shit i'm jelly
>>9448381
I've been blessed with good genes. I'm sure it will dissappear one day but the fear makes me do sit ups from time to time. Thank you!
>>9448342
I LOVED Ninja Nonsense. I had planned the stupid leopard print outfit Shinobu wears- as well as her normal "ninja" outfit. I would definitely be youre Kaede if for nothing else but nostalgia about this show.
>>9443850
DO IT, FAGGOT. Or else, a los leones!
I may be a 5'4 petite gril but I'd cosplay the heck out of Baoh if I could make the wig decently
>>9448342
I see a Shinobu cosplayer once every couple of cons and I'll always approach them! So do it anon, and if I see you I'll be sure to say hi.
Cosplaying as Akari would be the dream but I have yet to meet someone who knows Aria the Animation.
I want to do a Knight Witch from LWA
basically it just the witch normal dress from the series, a knight helmet, and the weapon from the series
>>9450339
really? I've met plenty of people who know of it, even if it isn't talked about much. I'd love to cosplay her too! Let's do it, anon.
>>9448027
I'm pretty sure if you made one of these on their own someone would ask you which JoJo you are.
>>9450339
Anon I love Aria! Me and my friends have been constantly bringing up cosplaying it for years now but never really seriously, I would love to do it someday.
If I ever manage to gain enough weight, I'll reward myself by cosplaying her. I don't care if nobody recognizes me, I was obsessed when this game came out
If I ever get a Roger.
Zawa Zawa Zawa....
I'm trying to get to PAX Prime this year, and it'll be the best place to get this cosplay recognized.
Especially because I'm not planning on fully crossplaying w/goatee and such.
>>9445263
I love Glass Mask so fucking much. I want to do Maya's dress from her period drama with the naginata.
>>9450427
This statement infuriates me more than it should.
One of the Vendemiaire's, frog suit/regular chilchak or marcille, and Snow from MAR.
There was a dungeon meshi thread a while back, anyone cosplaying it?
>>9451340
Oh hey, I was planning to crossplay this for PAX Aus! You have good taste, anon
Cardcaptor Sakura in one of her less iconic outfits!
>>9451737
With proper wig anfd one everyone would still recognize the character tho
>>9448020
OH please yes. I have dreamt of cosplaying Lucia since I was 12.
Misha from Pita-Ten
>>9451778
I guess I misunderstood OP or misunderstood Sakura's popularity
>>9445119
Komugiiii! I've always wanted to do Magical Maid Koyori from that show!
Devil zukin from DDR has been my dream cosplay since I was a child, I don't think I could pull it off but maybe one day. I know DDR isn't exactly obscure but I feel like not many con people are going to be familiar with the old characters.
>>9445119
Komugi has been randomly gaining popularity on tumblr lately so you might have a chance of being recognized! That particular design you posted has always been my favorite, I'd be really happy to see someone cosplay her.
I'd like to do either Aeron or Elena from Pandora's Tower since I rally enjoyed the game, but because it didn't become as popular as Xenoblade and Last story, people tend not to know about it
>>9443712
Fruits Basket is still my fav manga and anime of all time. When I finally find a cute anime bf I'm going to cosplay Tohru and Kyo with him.
Princess Ai
>>9445686
Ugh, I love King Leo and would love to cosplay him but I'm 6'1 and think it'd be so bizarre proportion wise to try and portray him haha. His outfits would be so fun to construct.
>>9447376
Do QP with a giant plush dice or something. Maybe even mounted signboard of some of the playing cards? IDK.
>>9451931
yessssss I don't know why this never became more popular, such great costume design
>>9451737
found one last week on a con
looked pretty descent
Koshka Nekoi from Usagi-chan de Cue, I have a soft spot for purple haired cat girls
>>9452361
Oh no shes adorable
Planning to do Marcille from Dungeon Meshi for a Fall con. Not sure how popular it is just yet, so I don't know if too many people will know who I'm dressed as.
>>9451931
>>9451981
>I don't know why this never became more popular
Because Courtney Love and the story was pretty awful. I mean it was very 15 year old Hot Topic gremlin romance fantasy and even as a 15 year old Hot Topic gremlin I found the story cringey. Most of the designs are generic ita rufflemonsters or "throw a bunch of metal and belts on it so it looks 'alternative'".
I'm throwing shade, but honestly I don't think those outfits really count as "great" costume design lol. If you check DA there is a small handful of cosplayers.
>>9451825
>>9445119
I've met at least one Komugi cosplayer who was working through all her outfits. Never a Koyori cosplayer though, but her design is unique enough to be recognisable that I'd say go for it.
>>9450339
Aria is pretty well known. I saw an Akari cosplayer last year at AX too.
I relate to the PAD anons. I want to cosplay everyone in Granblue Fantasy. If only mobile gaming was big in the west.
>>9452384
Can you do a handstand?

Dominic Fortune
>>9451815
Oh man I'd so join you as Shia
>>9451737
The wig, staff and wing mottifs make it very recognizable.
Anyone remember Mummies Alive?
>>9453135
I'm also old
>>9453135
Doy. It's the best show ever
>>9453135
Holy crap anon my bro and I were talking about this show about a month ago out of nowhere! wish it got a revamp or something we both really liked all the designs for all the mummies
I honestly can't remember what the show was about, but I can still hear the theme playing in my head...?
Falcon dude was my fav
>>9453227
There's a bunch of old toons from the 90s most people seem to have forgotten about (Giuenevere and the Jewel Riders, Sky Dancers, Cybersix, Sherlock Holmes in the 22d Century, Men in Black, etc) that would be tons of fun to cosplay with a group.
I'm really liking the idea of a Mummy's Alive group, I think people old enough to remember it would get a total kick out of it.
>>9453135

>>9444544
I'd fucking love to do a Verka Serduchka cosplay. We should get a Eurovision cosplay group going anons.
>>9453135
GREAT IS THE POWER OF GEORGE WASHINGTON
>>9444544
Depends where you are. People do Eurovision cosplays for London and folks go mad for it.
>>9453303
>>9453677
OH SHIT ANON
I'm definitely wanting to start up a group now holy crap
>>9453284
Sherlock Holms in the 22nd century was my goddamn jam, I wish they still aired some old tunes like those, I never saw them on boomerang
But the again they might show them now, last time we had boomerang was years ago
i feel like i'd be mistaken for 3 other characters before/if anyone recognized the actual character (plus i'm too old to cosplay him well now)
>>9440266
Ozen from Made in Abyss manga.
Seems like it will get animated tho.
>>9453703
Did this manga ever end? I remember reading it in middle school but at the time it was still ongoing, I remember my friend absolutely loved it
What was the name of the manga? I'd like to pick it back up again!
>>9453762
+Anima, and yes, it did end!
With such simple outfits you think you would see more Houseki no Kuni cosplays.
>>9440424
I read the manga! I enjoyed it back then, but it was years ago
This magnificent bastard. I assume only 2 of 100 persons will recognize me, and playing will look alike another Deadpool clone but I still wanna get full fun from it.
>>9445811
Knew I had a pic somewhere. Think I was the only one at the con who recognised the character. This game needs more love.
>>9453876
>2 out of 100 people
Are you mad anon? Loads would recognise and love you.
>>9451815
This is my first anime . Nostalgia ;-;
>>9453284
Some of those have been forgotten about for a reason.
>>9453785
isn't this manga steven universe
>>9455392
Anon where do you LIVE I want a group
>>9444627
do it, anon! i have a kendappa-ou costume and have been recognized, so i bet you'd get recognized too!
>>9453703
Ah I loved +Anima! I remember reading it as it came out in 2007 until it ended, last volume was a bit of a pain to find for a good price. (RIP Tokyopop) Been a while since I've read it but I remember Husky being my favorite. I think if you carried a volume around with Cooro on it you'd be fine.
I'd like to cosplay the MC from Lucid9
>>9447470
I've considered doing a Tart cosplay, since I like both the Manga and the historical version of Joan of Arc, but I'll probably wait until after I do Isabelle from Paradise Kiss.
>>9456723
No idea why the "m" is capitalized.
Does anyone even know who she is ; - ;
she's so cute and I've always wanted to do her cosplay.
>>9456732
as a little girl I always wanted to cosplay Berry :')
>>9456732
My friends and I have been planning to get a TMM group together for a while. I think you'd be surprised how many people would recognise you, especially in a full group.
>>9456732
Tokyo Mew Mew isn't really THAT unpopular
If one person knows this guy, I will be shocked
One day if I learn how to do mascot cosplays. I'm sure just being a large microbe will make people like it.
>>9460244
Nah but Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode isnt exactly well known, even by people who like Tokyo Mew Mew
At least I never hear people talk about it
>>9460245
>tfw would love to cosplay from CQ but also afraid nobody will recognize me without a group.... ;_;
I've seen some cosplays online (of various characters), but it's not as popular as it used to be I guess people just forgot about the comic...?
>>9456732
even if a la mode/this specific char isnt recognized, the outfit is very "tokyo mew mew" so people would be able to take a pretty accurate guess
>>9440266
If you're too afraid to do a cosplay because the character isn' popular you're retarded. Making a good cosplay of them is the best way you can make people aware of the character.
Print up some cheap business cards with the character name and what they're from to pass out if it's so troubling for you to explain it all day.
Forever in my plans (Vanilla H from Galaxy Angel)
>tfw never seen a good Forte cosplayer
>>9451330
Please DO IT
>>9444583
I do. First FF game I ever owned.
I did a pretty mediocre cosplay of her 4 or 5 years back and would love to re-do it, even if no one will recognize me like last time
>>9456549
The only thing they share is that people are gems, but everything else is completely different, And this manga came out a year before SU.
I wanna cosplay this guy. He's like super obscure especially with no remake of the game.
For those in the thread considering cosplaying as obscure characters: Do it.
You can enjoy the con without being stopped for pictures as often. AND when someone DOES recognize you, its a lovely feeling. some people might stop you for pictures just because they think you look good, and you can just be like "oh I'm cosplaying from this series" and maybe they'll check it out.
I got into obscure vocaloids by seeing a soniko and sweet ann cosplayer years ago.
>>9461756
As long as you're doing the possessed version, I'd definitely recognize you.
I'd love to cosplay Zegram, but I have the body of a 14 year old and the voice to match ;__;
Not really sure how obscure Petshop of Horrors really is, but I most people I mention it to have never heard of it. I would love to cosplay Count D but I have no idea what outfit to make and... I'm white. So I'd probably get shit all over for it anyway

>>9460255
DO IT. DO IT YOU FUCKING WHORE. MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE IF I DON'T DO IT FIRST.
I'm doing it anyway.
>>9450339
I've cosplayed Akari. The only people who recognized me were sleazy, sweaty older men. Don't, anon. Don't do it. (I did get photographed for ONE professional cosplay website, though. That was cool! And making the cosplay was an experience. I can go into further detail if asked.)

>>9462736
I really want to make my bf an Ootori cosplay but we have no pretty guy cosplay friends (and I don't think I could pull off any of the guys unfortunately)! Serves us right for liking a awfully cheesy musical anime.
I want to cosplay many MMO-characters but the one's I like most are from discontinued games
>>9464081
She has a very big cult following by anyone over 30 that had a TV as a child. Even my mom would recognize her, no joking.
I think I'm the only person who knows what this is, everyone else would just think I was doing some tumblrcore pastel goth thing.
It would be a dream come true to cosplay Sunny from The Niflheim
>>9464081
People would know it. It's a nostalgia classic!
>When no one but 3 people know about your fav band.
>>9444583
Has anyone ever cosplayed as the FF character's concept art, not the in-game costumes?
I'll be quite surprised if anyone knows about/remembers this.
>>9465083
Welp, this saddens me too as an Aria fan.
If it was that long ago, maybe they just recognized it cause it was still airing.
>>9464945
Go and cosplay it! Get some ghosts to accompany you.
Glad to see that there is UtsuP love about.
>>9460886
I'd recognize you ;_;
I'm planning to cosplay Kazuma Kiryu because I fucking LOVED Yakuza 0 and am hype as fuck for Kiwami, but I was afraid nobody would recognize it in the US since the series was borderline dead until 0 came out.
Then TBFP started an LP for Yakuza 0.
>mfw
>>9451825
Ahhhh! Do it! I'd love to see more Nurse Witch Komugi (reboot aside..)
>>9451330
Please! The more Kaiji the better. I only get recognized a few times when I cosplay him but it's worth it. Like your photo, I'd like to try making his deadman crossing outfit, but seriously go for it!
Obscure for me is this guy, but fans of the anime usually don't even know about him unfortunately.
Planning to finish the costume this year, after my other projects
If I ever did it, it'd be at least 7ft tall with swiveling eyes
>>9460245
Do it anon! I'm working on a Nightmare Knight cosplay!
>tfw skelly with wide hips
It's such a high rated anime, yet I've only met one person who've watched it. it's also completely different from what I usually cosplay
>>9465977
I've wanted to do Kino for years. The only reason I haven't is because I just don't think it's a recognizable design minus Hermes. I know a ton of people who have seen the series, but it's such normal and neutral clothing.
>>9465981
I feel like it's a cosplay you don't only need to be spot on with the clothes, but with your bodyshape as well to be recognizable. I have a big bust and wide hips so i would never get that androgynous look of Kino
>>9465061
Would that even work as a cosplay since it's so bare bones?
Also
>tfw they will never come back together for another album
>>9463589
Don't lie to yourself, anime con kids are all young as fuck
>>9465981
I think what needs to be super accurate are the small details to bring it all together. The gun and goggles for sure.
Erica at the front
Most people have no idea who she is ;_;
>>9451815
god daaaaamn I cosplayed her when I was like 14 and it was an absolute a disaster. Mmm, shiny 2 dollar shop wig. I still love Pita Ten to this day.
I dont really cosplay anymore (jfash) but it would be a dream for me to do a group from GE999
>>9451829
Robozukin has been on my dream cosplay list for years. I hope you make a Devilzukin someday, anon!
I dream of cosplaying Kokone with my gf as Alpha. The series is a classic but for whatever reason I never hear anyone talk about it. I'm sure we'll cosplay them regardless, even if only because their designs are so simple.
One day I would love to cosplay Oliver and Fukase. I can understand why people wouldn't recognize them.
>>9466428
A friend of mine does Harlock and used to have a whole group.
Maetel's on my list but wit her bodysuit from the OVA which I can't even get good pics of.
>>9448381
Not eating like a cow is a step in the right direction
Pulling him off would be hard enough then getting recognized too instead of brushed off as a a furry
>>9467519
People would recognize Oliver
>>9453703
I'm planning on doing Nana one day
Off hand
>Game of laplace picture related
>Kado the Answer
>Sabagebu!
>Early SMT
>>9451829
Devil zukin is up there in my favorites. Always wanted to try out a couple cosplay for ddr. Disk beings one day
My friend and I are cosplaying them at Momocon this year and not a goddamn person will recognize us but it's still my favorite anime ever, so who cares
>>9464115
Unless someone designs nice genderbend versions of them because I can't crossplay.
Anyone from Gregory Horror Show. It has a quiet, often cringe art fandom; but I'd love to see some cosplay. I really like seeing people take anatomically impossible characters and making them good.
>>9460886
Well to be fairly honest, No one knows SoniKa even inside the fandom. She's cute and all but I dont really like neither her voice or design.
>>9467519
Considering they are quite new, I doubt anyone couldnt recognize them. As long as you follow Fukase's Original color scheme and keep Oliver as a cute boy with the little bird youll be fine.
>>9464945
eeee I didn't know this was utsu until i read the reply and I'm an utsu-p fan..
probably cause i just usually get the album and call it a day and don't typically watch the videos
I feel like Precure might be a bit more popular in the US? But it definitely isn't well known here at all. I always seem to see photos of (often lone) Precure cosplayers post con and wonder how I managed to miss them, same deal with Aikatsu.
Hopefully I'll be taking on Whip within the next couple of months, I just got back from Japan and picked up the Sweets Pact and Candy Rod to use as props while I was there.
>>9469390
>Considering they are quite new
Anon Oliver released almost 6 years ago
That being said though, it really does feel like he hasn't been around long at all
>>9453666
Been there, done that! It was glorious. DO IT!
>>9465233
>>9469514
It would be great to at the very least get an Ustu ghost, but I don't know how viable that would be, I don't think a lot of people like doing bedsheet ghost cosplays.
It's good to know there's a few other Utsu-P fans here. The other cosplays I'd consider doing to celebrate my love for his music would be Hansi's Miku or the fawn Miku from potato-head in wonderland but those are both way more risque than living ghost Flower.
Pic related, fawn Miku's design is cool.
Rowley from Diary Of A Wimpy Kid is pretty much easymodo cosplay (white shirt, black shirt) but the sculpting of the head would be the hardest part and a pain in the ass.
Also, scared to get laughed at and shit
>>9451815
My heart just skipped a beat, I completely forgot about Pita-ten and the ruffles and the bunny clips, DO IT
I've always wanted to cosplay Fancy Lala and have my kid sister be Miho, but not only do I not suit the character at all, I don't think anyone would recognize us.
Fancy Lala is not as popular as its sister Creamy Mami, nor is it even as popular as it's own child, Full Moon Wo Sagashite
>>9470608
Please do it anon, would be amazing. You don't have to sculpt the head if you really don't want to, you could always go the live action cosplay route. But I agree a sculpted head would be better and more recognizable.
>tfw you will never be able to cosplay Silas Scratch from book 10
>>9470608
>>9471113
I forgot to mention, maybe cosplay the getup in pic related for more people to recognize you.
>>9471116
>>9471113
Now all I have to do is how I'm gonna do the hair when I papier-mache the head.
Definitely not pic related
>>9470410
You never know what people are up for until you ask. I would be a bedsheet ghost just to try and figure out how to make my feet disappear.
I've cosplayed Poster Girl's Prank and got some animal headed producers to accompany me. Everyone thought we were Hotline Miami lol.
>>9471116
>RowleyJeffersonastheclassclownbecauseofzooweemamacomicstripthatistheonlythingthatgetsfameforhim.png
>>9471113
>live action cosplay route
What kind of hairstyle is this? Looks like a regular bowl cut, am I right?
>>9471945
pretty much as seen here
>>9460255
Holy shit anon YES
>>9473224
Wow, looks like Rowley went full JUST on that picture.
I'd want a group to walk around in character honestly.
If anyone recognized me I'd buy them dinner.
>>9474079
It's from the Vocaloid Schoolgirl detective series. Now buy me dinner
>>9469738
For the last two years we've had the PreCure Army at AX. Probably not thus year though.
you know it's obscure when ten minutes of googling doesn't turn up your ref image
>>9468874
You do that and I'll do the cattle walrus.
>>9471104
I would because I'm making that Lala's dress atm!
>>9474992
I have Dragon Knights behind me right now. If you go for it I hope it turns out nicely.
>>9444295
the designs are so cute, it's a shame the plot is absolute garbage
>>9473762
Only if you have a Rickman with you.
A LOT of game stuff, from titles that are old enough that the majority of younger congoers won't have played them. There are a couple of classes from Ogre Battle 64 I'd love to do, like the Black Knight here.
Elsa from Demonbane has been my dream costume for years. Barely a handful of people in Finland(where I live) would recognize her, but I can't be assed, she's such a cute, dorky robot badass with a cool costume.
I've been wanting to cosplay from kuuchuu buranko for a while now
I'm not sure how obscure CLAMP's "Clover" manga is, but my pipe dream has always been to cosplay Suu with gigantic glass mechanical wings. I'm not petite, and I don't have the skill to create that beautiful image...
>>9476277
Thank you anon I will do my best!
>>9476889
It's not that obscure but rare indeed, please do it!
Of this bunch I know that Lottie isn't that obscure in general, but if I went as her, nobody would recognize me here in my country.
The others are something I can only wish people know.
>>9477517
ZOMBIEPOWDER holy fuck, I read that before Bleach, and I remember being bitter that it wasn't finished... Thank you for reminding me of that manga anon, I was a fan.
>>9474978
Ohhhh I'm mad jealous, I've never seen a single Cure cosplayer irl, a massive group like that would probably kill me
>tfw maybe one day you'll be able to have enough cure friends to do a series group
the only thing worse than people not recognizing your char is to have them think youre some generic WESTERN prisoner cosplayer
>>9477517
Please cosplay Maraich anon, I love those tacky 70's outfits so much
People would just assume it was a donut steel fursona...
>>9477517
Can you please list the characters? Their designs are nice and unfortunately I can only recognise 3 of them
>>9471116
>>9471162
>>9470608
I might as well go full on with this cosplay and get this printed on a vinyl record sleeve (if it doesn't become pixellated as fuck first)
>>9477806
Imagine the joy of that one person that would recognize you.
An obscure character from an obscure anime, but I just had to do it. No one recognised me, but I had fun. Plan on cosplaying him for a local con once again after redoing the hat.
I don't know how popular LHK is but me and a friend cosplayed kaneda and raizou and nobody recognized us. It was fun though :)
>>9478687
>raizou
pls tell me you have pictures anon
they're my favorite
>>9478687
My bf and I cosplayed Zera and Kanon at our first con! I look for LHK at every one I go to but I've never seen any others in person.
>>9448381
I'm guessing she just ate moderately growing up and the habit sticks. If people get the habit of not eating until they're full or just eating an appropriate amount for their height, this happens.
Although some of it can be fat distribution, like how Latino people tend to store more in their thighs, and black people in their butts.
>>9478434
Jing king of bandits?
Thank you for reminding me that the warrior of the rising sun will always be on my wish list.
>>9477806
a-anon where are you from? I'd die to cosplay this with someone else
>>9478867
Seconded, I forgot this manga existed but it was so fucking good
>>9478434
oh my god I read this manga all the time in high school!
>>9476910
me too anon! id also be good with ora but I really don't have the figure. one day we will get there
>>9480055
Britfag here anon. Please tell me at least one other person in this godforsaken country played this game...
She's from the 3rd Japan-only Fullmetal Alchemist video game from the mid 2000s called "The Girl Who Surpasses God". I might as well be cosplaying my own OC, but I'm going to go through with cosplaying her anyway.
>>9480263
oh... I'm sorry, I'm from somewhere else.
Hey maybe I could come over to a con or something and we could hang out, I love to try cons in other countries!
>>9453876
Do it, anon! I cosplayed as him last year and a shit ton of people recognized me and were really excited. Really fun cosplay to wear. I plan on making a Candlejack cosplay for my boyfriend to wear with me
>>9445263
I loved Glass Mask! Would definitely recognize you straight away!
Was the manga ever finished tho? I forgot about it for so long.
>>9477517
Grid anon here!
>>9477551
Gasp, another person who remembers it! Imo ZP had way more potential and more complex characters for a cohesive and a unique story, so I was pissed as well that it covers only a few volumes.
>>9477791
Gonna happen, already have the wig!
>>9477994
Sure! From left to right:
> Teacher Deer from Maple Town no Monogatari
One of my all time favourite anime as a child, I still own like 4 vhs-tapes of this dubbed in my mother tongue. Super cute.
> Librarian Mototaro-san from Kiichi and the Magic Books
Great manga series with a very creative take on oni's and a cool concept
> Maraich from Patalliro!
One of the weirdest and funniest vintage anime I know, with some pretty boylove.
> Lottie Person from Snot Girl
A new comic written by Bryan Lee O'Malley and drawn by Leslie Hung, this is my shit.
> Father Olivier from Gestalt
Remember Loveless? Yeah, this is some older shit from the same author.
> Papessa Lodovica from Sky Doll
Now Remember W.i.t.c.h.? Barbucci also dapples in theology and erotic themes and I love it
> Gamma Akutabi from Zombie Powder
The creator of Bleach made this awesome thing and decided to discontinue it after a few volumes.
> Yoyo from Majokko Shimai no Yoyo yo Nene
Great movie with wonderful visuals
> Tuto from Tetsuwan Birdy Decode
I love this series to bits and this "human" for of Tuto even more.
>>9460886
>>9469388
Eh, I think it's a stretch to say nobody knows her inside the Vocaloid fandom. Especially since Circus-P kinda popularized her. There's definitely a lot more obscure Vocaloids than her.
That being said, 99% of people only know Miku and maybe the other Cryptonloids, but I'm sure at least some people would recognize you. I definitely would!
>>9467519
I feel like a decent number of people would at least recognize Oliver. Fuckass is a bit less known, at least among the Western fandom, but I'm sure some would recognize him too, especially if it's a big anime con.
>>9482972
anon don't worry! once the new movie adaptation comes out, i'm hoping for a cosplay resurgence! it's hard cosplaying anyone in my opinion because everyone will think you're some generic shinsengumi... or from hakuoki. but regardless live your dreams anon and cosplay suzu.
>>9443749
HOLY SHIT my first manga
I would love to cosplay Meruko
>>9483591
I and another Anon I've encountered actually have plans to cosplay Birdy.
I dunno if this is really obscure, but she's sooooo cute
Frankenstein from Fate/GO
>>9461847
My friend cosplayed it recently! Almost no one recognized them, but hey, at least some people have heard of it and probably would love you lots for cosplaying it.
I'm not even sure if the Rune Factory series is popular enough to be recognized. I personally don't like doing face revealing cosplays but I really like this series.
>>9483605
At least it's not Mew and Chika honestly. Mew is just a generic punk girl, Chika...I actually had to look up what her name was, I had so completely forgotten her. Sonika at least is known to old Vocaloid fans.
Sometimes I still want to induldge my old Vocaloid fan self and cosplay Gakuko from the Nishiki no Mai PV (man, back in the day where every Vocaloid had a genderbend...), but it's honestly very low priority for me now.
Now in real obscurity, I actually was really into the UTAU community and kind of want to cosplay one someday like my favorite Tsukishiro Hakupo, but it feels like it would come off too much as donut steel muh Vocaloid OC.
>>9483634
Movie adaptation? Well, now I'm excited.
>>9483060
>I plan on making a Candlejack cosplay for my boyfriend to wea
Fixed that for you anon.
>>9484094
I have cosplayed from it few times, sadly no one knew who I was
>>9484105
right!?! and not just one movie, supposedly it's going to be split into several. so let's stay hopeful anon!!
>>9460245
NOOOOOISE MAAAAASTER
>>9460245
following on from this, i have a shit ton of webcomic cosplays i want to do, will post them all below. points to you if you know all of them (and can name them!)
>>9443850
I will devote my life serving as your friend and guardian if you do this
