And other anons try to prove us wrong
>>9092213
It's not the best, but I've always been somewhat fond of this picture.
>>9092330
Still the best I've seen and bonus points for actually being a guy
I may be a salty oldfag
jojo cosplay is rarely satisfying
>>9092213
I've never seen a decent Edward Elric cosplay
>>9092539
You have to have a very specific face to pull off Jojo. I feel like that's where majority of the problem lies.
>>9092555
And the body. Most of the time cosplayers are too doughy
Most fujoshit fodder anime. I'm so so tired of over lined eyes and heavy contouring. Free!! is a fucking cesspool of dorito chins and winged liner that could cut someone's throat out.
i've never seen a non-jap do her well, prove me wrong seagulls
Any of the Kizu vampire hunters, or Araragi for that matter too.
>>9092539
Do you mean main JoJo's specifically or any JoJo character?
>>9092812
Both. Though I recently saw a pretty good Speedwagon
Please prove me wrong. I need to see a good Slayer at some point in my life.
>>9092611
That's because the character is actually a male. Its a trap in the game itself and it promotes a bad imagery because it implies transpeople can have a focus on VIDEO GAMES and somehow not look like shit and be autistic. They need to give up all games, in order to properly live as girls, or even have a small chance of doing well at this.
>>9093465
>Not even the correct character
>this entry level b8
Here's your (You)
>>9093465
>>9093465
Wrong character
I've never seen a good Harley quin. It's the go to skank cosplay and they just use it as an excuse to dress slutty.
Typically have never cosplayed before, or its the only thing they ever do.
>>9093541
I tried?
>>9093541
This kills me because I love her original character and costume. With the way they've changed her design even really well done cosplays of her just look like a trashy hottopic skankfest.
Personal pet peeve: the og suit with the blond pigtails, put the damn hood on.
>>9093729
I tend to overlook Harley cosplays anyway, but yeah I have never seen someone even try to do the hood
>>9093729
It's sad that nobody ever does the original. But who would want to when they can get attention without trying at all? I've seen so many bad Harley Quinn's and people still take pictures of them
>>9093503
has there ever been a guy that did this crossplay?
>>9092827
Was it this one on the right? This whole group was gold at AX
>>9094023
>>9094037
Yeah, I think so
>>9094043
That Jigen on the left with the crown makes me happy, thank you anon.
Actually a suprisingly large amount of 2hus. Any that aren't in the top 20 or heavily associated with memes
All the cons where there was a goku didnt have his regular hair or it was a mess.
>>9092553
I like this one.
>>9093552
I'm not the person who suggested Harley but this is good.
>>9094442
What are some you consider out of the top 20 and not heavily associated with memes? I might have some.
>>9094035
Yes.
>>9092611
Someone here cosplay as Chiaki but I have to find it again. A qt.
Picture related. Never seen non asians do the Gintama trio (Guy/Guy/Girl.)
>>9094057
have another speedwagon
>>9092427
Hngggg. Any of the PMK characters, really.
>>9095483
Holy shit that's so true. A classic character and every either fucks up the wig or not muscular enough
>>9095722
the wigs are so atrocious. I seriously couldn't find a decent one
>>9095535
Ones I don't see: Letty, Nazrin, Iku, Raiko, Kisume, Tsukumo sisters, and basically all 98 era characters
I found a decent Edgeworth, his cosplay was well made and was actually a guy.
>>9096295
What convention?
>>9095535
Just to give an idea
>>9096295
needs bigger shoulders/shoulder pads. I would save this and admire it if the photo itself wasnt so terrible.
>>9093749
>It's sad that nobody ever does the original. But who would want to when they can get attention without trying at all?
>trying at all?
Her original costume is the most widely available on the internet. It is literally the one you don't have to try hard to do at all to be completely accurate.
>>9095787
>>9096301
Ah, that's about what I figured.
I really like this Yuugi and Parsee. It might be unintentional but I think the messy wig is a nice detail for Yuugi.
>>9096634
And this is just a hallway shot but I found these Prismriver sisters accidentally just now and I honestly can't find anything to complain about.
>>9096585
That may be true (idk, I don't care for Harley Quinn so I've never looked at any of the costumes online) but it comes down to what's going to get the most attention/which version is the most popular. Suicide Squad Harley is going to be the one everyone's looking for
>>9096638
>that bowhold
>>9093456
fuck man, even with a wig, that'd be hard to pull off. I've got the beard but not the mustache.
>>9092330
Hello handsome
Majority of cosplayers are females who do not pass off as a 27-year-old man well.
Usually girls, or not buff enough. Sigh.
The best cosplayers I've seen so far are the ones that are a few items short.
>some had the polo with a pinned on emblem
>some had the emblem stitched on the hat and shirt
>some were missing the bag
>>9097138
I gotchu boo
Wrong kerchief color but everything else is present
>>9097138
>>9097160
And here's an older one, complete with a missing spot that the Ellie badge would go
>>9095621
hot damn how short is that lil nigga
>>9097160
this is so cute!
>>9097117
Done. And done.
>>9092551
Only one I could find that I like, don't know about the automail though
>>9097133
>>9096836
It's really that hard for the wig? I mean I know it's uncommon, but I've seen so many people pull off shounen hair, I thought it wouldn't be too unreasonable. Is my husbando doomed to never be cosplayed well?
>>9097268
Bonus
>>9096585
Yeah, but you don't get attention if you're covered up in her original outfit. Gotta dress slutty to get those page likes.
>>9098110
Has there been decent Ryunosuke?
There's a lot of D. Va, Tracer, Reaper, and Mercy, but I don't think I've even seen a Hanzo cosplay
Granted the art style doesnt help as people arent shaped like that but still.
The epaulets are the one common thread when it comes to utena cosplays being fucked.
The Spy from Team Fortress 2
>>9093541
?
>>9098935
There's a pretty Anthy cosplay that floats around here every once in a while, but I don't have it saved. Maybe someone else can post it?
>>9098935
I'm kinda biased because I met these cosplayers and they were really nice but I thought they did a good job
>>9097838
>tfw your gf is secretly the moon
The wigs always look like a nest. Will my husbando ever get justice?
>>9093552
Your head looks fucking huge also what's with the puffed out cheeks?
>>9099366
I don't know why you're saying "your". I found that picture on Google lol. I think you missed the point of this thread, I posted that in response to someone that asked for good Harley Quinn cosplays. Like I said, I tried, but there aren't many out there
>>9099369
You said "I tried" and that made it seem like it was you attempting to cosplay the character, not finding a picture of one. You are really quick to get pissy and start name calling when it was something you said that is easily misunderstood.
It's understandable why I haven't seen an Azrael, but I still hope to see one
>>9099372
>name calling
Show me where I called you a name. I literally explained to you what I meant and that was it. Chill lol
>>9099397
I was chill until you started pretending like you weren't by being all passive aggressive. Does it take so much effort to just realize that your statement could easily be misunderstood rather than getting defensive and playing the "lol you must be new lol you don't understand the thread lol" card like a defensive idiot?
I've never seen a good Peridot cosplay, it's always the wig that looks like shit
>>9099808
Or it's the everything that looks like shit. Can't say I've seen a costume where the full bottom half actually looks palatable.
Chii from Chobits.
Its the darn wigs! I've never seen one with enough volume and thickness (and obviously the gravity defying shape and split of her locks is impossible). The ears are often placed too low on the head as well.
That aside I think she's modeled best by someone very short (she's only supposed to be 5 feet tall) and with a very slender frame. I think her design just doesn't transfer well to photography of real life analogues. A cosplayer might look ok in person but to photograph well as her they'd need to be on the low end of a healthy BMI if not a little underweight, Chii looks so dainty to me. The face is likewise impossible, its so highly stylized and doesn't seem to suit European facial features at all.
She'd probably look best cosplayed by a 15 year old Asian girl, which to be fair, she's supposed to look like one anyway.
>>9097268
Oh shit I like that Hisoka. Nitpicking that he should iron his pants but pretty damn solid.
>>9099838
as some one who has cosplayed her yeah that wig is a pain in the ass.
Most cosplayers translate it at waist height. I have one that goes to my ankles but with how easily it tangles its almost not worth it.
My goal is to try to get a good wig for her one day, with the weird center part and volume and everything. Not entirely sure how likely that is but we'll see.
>>9099284
Anon no, that Anthy is terrible and the Utena doesn't particularly suit the character.
>>9097246
No.
>>9099673
nayrt but seriously get the fuck off the internet if this is "getting defensive" and bothers you so much, holy shit
>anon explains what intent of original post is
>"omg defensive passive agressive cunt you pissbag stop being so defensive so quickly"
>what is self-awareness
>>9099918
Why not? Not an FMA-fag so don't see what's wrong.
every single bleach coaplayer looks like shit. it's like their special talent
>>9093456
>>9097274
>Guilty Gear
>Getting cosplayed in 2016
Sorry anon, but it's unlikely. It's unfortunate because I love the designs
>>9092539
The problem I have with a lot of Jojo cosplay is when people draw those black lines on their faces to mimic the style of the anime (pic related, though these two are better than most). It's like, you do know the characters don't ACTUALLY have black lines on their faces, right? It's just the art style. A lot of the time it looks like it was hastily drawn on with cheap eyeliner, and sometimes they can't even bother with making the lines look straight. Plus, it's super unflattering when done on someone with a rounder face. I feel like if someone really wants to look more manly or whatever for a Jojo cosplay they should learn good contouring instead of doing that crap.
There's also the problem of people not being in good enough shape for most of the characters, but I'm willing to overlook that (to an extent, of course) if the costume, wig, and makeup are good enough.
>>9101020
I don't even know if there is such a thing. Not a Deadpool fan so don't know about ~accuracy~ but I appreciate when someone doesn't just buy a suit and throw it on
>>9101020
first well-done DP cosplay I see will get a serious consideration for SO material. slightly exaggerating but still. It would be a dream come true to plan a classic lolita x deadpool wedding.
Haven't really seen any good cosplays of Ryoji.
>>9095621
It says here that he should be 5'7"
>>9092604
>cesspool of dorito chins

caught between a kek and some buttmadness because joke's at husbando's expense. overall, well played.
fucking love me some Eddie Izzard. 10/10 would smash
>>9099673
Not that anon, but why are you so mad? Jesus, no one called you a name or was even rude to you. Dudes on this board are always so quick to get angry.
If you're not a newfag dude here, then man, you really act like one.
>>9095621
Archie, put some foundation on
>>9093541
They always end up looking like actual pedophiles.
>>9092553
disagree
>>9106315
It almost works, but the diamonds on her thigh there are obviously not sewn on well.
I don't think I've ever seen her get cosplayed. I'd do it myself but I diubt those bangs would flatter me.
>>9092213
Has anyone ever done a decent MD Geist?
Along with so many others from Danganronpa 2.
>>9092539
I've spent a long time on getting more fit for the sake of being a good enough Jonathan. I still am not happy enough about it. It's essentially my 3rd cosplay ever and I've still got some work to do both on me and the cosplay, though I could go for it.
I'd measure myself at just a bit above the minimum bar for the character fit-wise, but I'm not jacked and toned yet.
>>9092611
>>9106922
In that same vein, I'm also premiering the Ultimate Manager. Counting Jonathan mentioned above, it's only my fourth cosplay ever over the span of like 10 years but I'm pretty satisfied with it. Moreso than with Jonathan. I hope to do it [spoiler]sparkling[/spoiler] justice.
>>9106925
What convention are you going to?
>>9106927
AFO
>>9106933
You should post pics. Never seen a nekomaru before
>>9106934
My SDR2 is at around 50% complete.
The one I'm doing at AFO is based on the Zetsubou Hen version.
>>9106941
Oh ok. Well there's always the progress thread :^)
>>9106942
It's not a premiere if I show it off early :^)
>>9106922
you're forgetting the queen of komaedas
>>9106943
That's true but I need to see my husbando done justice. At least post post-con pics
>>9101960
This Ryoji looks pretty cute
Either of them. I've never seen a good Warden cosplay.
>>9099294
That's rough, buddy.
>>9097838
One girl did a realistic take on Yue. She could be browner but that't about it. She looks nice.
>>9098935
>>9092551
My husbando will never be done justice...
>>9106945
I'll see what I can do.
>>9107116
you proved me wrong, but Jared can't be done
>>9099392
Me too, but who could convince a huge, tan, steroid using /fit/ guy to cover himself in red marker and put on a huge, blue anime girl wig?
>>9107395
I want to believe. Honestly most of the characters I could post in this thread are barabait characters
>>9100506
>unlikely
Except a ton of people are doing this and Blazblue. I'm not sure where you are looking but I seen a lot. Just not with the unpopular characters.
>>9093456
>>9096836
>>9097274
Most people don't want to do the wig for Slayer because it's too hard or too much effort.
There's a lot of GG cosplayers but most of them do: Dizzy/Bridget/Baiken/I-no (Traps and titties.)
Boobs sell sad to say along with badass factors (such as weapons.)
I have not seen: That Man/Fanny/Fox dude cosplayed the most. I found six slayer pictures.
>>9101960
I had a really good one but can't find it.
Haven't seen anyone do the full outfit of her from The Rolling Girls.
Haven't seen several of Samurai Flamenco's outfits either.
>>9107420
>ton of people are doing this and Blazblu
What? I've seen one or two GG cosplayers at each con I've been to. Oddly enough its was Testament, A.B.A, and Elphelt
>>9098935
Crossplay, but how about this? I recently finished the anime and was excited to see an Utena cosplay in this day and age.
>>9107111
Nice
Nice Sephy
>Ash Ketchum
>Gary Oak
The female characters and older male characters in the series get cosplayed regularly (and good cosplays exist), but I don't think I've ever seen an Ash that wasn't a mid-20s man with the "I'll use my real & totally inaccurate hair; what's makeup and how can it make me look younger" mindset or a genderbent version.
The closest Gary Oak I found on a quick search is pic related, but I don't know if I'm digging their wig.
almost literally anything megaman

have i ever seen a good hisoka
i have extremely high standards for him
>>9107921
Did you even look through this thread before posting
>>9093541
I saw This beauty at Montreal comiccon this year and i freaked out like never before
She gives me that BTAS vibe and i L O V E IT
she also had such a bubbly cute personality, just like Harley does
>>9107921
Try his 99 voice actor. Cheating, but still. He's got the kind of face I'd expect if he were 3D.
>>9106922
>>9106544
who the fuck even is this
Only ever seen one good Alucard cosplayer. Everyone else is godawful. Why must so many weebs ruin such a good character design?
>>9098890
i dont think anyone can afford the temporary tatoo
>>9108428
The one's I've seen use a sleeve
>>9108142
anon that person wanted komaeda not tsumiki (that tsumiki is still pretty crap anyway)
>>9108632
I think it was the "Along with so many others from Danganronpa 2" that made the anon post that.
>>9108160
If I recall correctly its a character from Sofia the First
I have never in my life seen a good cosplay of Lupin III. Weebs and girls just can't get suits right.
I've seen a million Black Magician Girls, I've yet to see anyone actually portray her hair
>>9108936
I feel you anon, I really want to cosplay from Lupin but alas I am also a gril and don't feel a draw to cosplaying someone like Fujiko (Unless I had a legit Lupin or even Jigen to cosplay with)
</3
>>9107502
The silhouette on this is 9dd. Skirt is too bell shaped, jacket too long and snug at the hips, and what is happening with the teal layer?
I love Utena and I still see a decent amount of cosplay for it, but this is not a great example. Nice to see this outfit rather than the usual, though.
>>9108936
I'd love to go as lupin but my body is too big for him. I-I guess I'll just go as zenigata
>>9106544
He does look kinda like one i mean
those eyebags
but you actually sparked my interest enough to go see what he was from and what kind of character he is so...
uh well done on that?
>>9107420
I wouldn't consider that pic a good example
>>9109283
Talk about nitpick. I know OP is talking about good cosplay but Utena bodies are as realistic as CLAMP noodle people. 3D will never perfect 2D after all.
find me a good cosplay of Beatrice.
oh well, it is impossible.
>>9109522
That anon wasn't really talking about the body though. The fit of the actual costume is kind of odd. Maybe it's because it's a crossplay, but the skirt should start up higher. If you look at >>9107146 you can see that the skirt should flare out more at the bottom, hence why that anon said it was too bell shaped.
>>9109189
Every Miroku I've ever seen is a creepy neckbeard
>>9109547
To be fair Miroku is a creepy neckbeard.
>>9109543
Ah, my mistake. Though I'd assume it is a crossplay thing. I'd like to cosplay Anthy's white and red movie dress, but I'm nowhere close to that skill yet.
>>9109536
Umineko does suffers a lot from bad cosplayers, I can't find a single good one of the male characters.
>>9109563
Yeah definitely do it when you feel confident about your skills! I've done a lot of Utena cosplays myself, including both Utena and Anthy's rosebride dresses, and also the movie dress that you're talking about. The main part of the dress isn't too hard, but the challenge is the open front skirt.
And to stay on topic, this is my favorite Utena and Anthy pair. It's too bad Anthy doesn't have the hat though
>>9108956
You mean dark magician girl?
>>9109608
Not that anon, but in the Japanese version she's called "black magician girl"
>>9108956
Best one I've seen so far
>>9109608
Her direct Jap translated name is Black Magician Girl I believe and then whoever translates the English cards made it Dark Magician Girl. Same with Black/Dark Magician
>>9101316
Holy shit it looks like he's missing half his face
>>9109626
This is a really nice cosplay! More people really should go all out for the wig
>>9109626
Wow just shows how an accurate wig can make the costume look like less of an attention grab and more like really well constructed cosplay that had actual effort put into it. This looks really good!
>>9109610
This. But it is funny to note I got her cu-poche and the katakana has it written as Black Magician Girl, but the romaji says Dark Magician Girl.
>>9109668
To be fair, it's pretty hard to keep a long wig perfectly untangled through the whole photoshoot, especially if it's curly. I love how the bangs are done though, that's where I find a lot of Utena cosplays are lacking.
Same Utena, but with the transformed outfit. The biggest problem I have here is that she doesn't have the right shoes, and a few other nit picks here and there, but otherwise, I think this is one of the best ones. Especially because I think she has the right body for it (dem legs). And now I'm gonna stop because I don't want to spam the whole thread with Utena pictures....
>>9109699
My only complaint is the photo quality itself. I know there's touch ups, but the red of her socks is making my eyes bleed because the contrast looks so crazy high. Would be nice to see the Student Council members though. I found it kind of funny how in the musical, all the actors where women in really high platform boots for height.
>tfw no perfect male Akio irl
>>9097117
This is the only male Adachi cosplayer that's really impressed me.
>>9108936
>>9106544
>>9108160
Cedric from Sofia the First.
Was surprised to see him show up in a thread like this.

>>9107420
Lmao nigga couldn't even grow his own beard
>>9118573
Is that a dude? I assumed it was a chick
>>9098935
I'm pretty damn proud of my Utena, but I'm hesitant to self-post in a thread like this. I actually looked at a lot of other Utena cosplays to learn what NOT to do, which was extremely helpful. The epaulets are definitely the hardest to get looking good when trying to stay accurate, both for Utena and Anthy.
>>9109536
This one's cute.
>>9094023
How about some good Fujiko's? Old or new.
>>9099838
>>9099885
I wonder if it would be possible to do it like Nui where the upper half is foam inside, but that might end up draping weird below the waist.
>>9108956
Honestly there's hardly any good classic Yu-gi-oh cosplay because it's become a fujoshit paradise.
>>9109536
This one is pretty good. Seen her irl and the craftsmanship is nice.
>>9094023
I want to believe...
>>9122603
>Eddy
Because it's anime? Duh
>>9122193
The first one looks pretty spot on actually.

>Mu nigga
There are so few Chaikas and it saddens me so.
It odd cause it seems like it would be so simple, but nobody seems to do the markings very well.
Ive seen some good Jojo cosplays but never EVER jotaro. No one has the face or physique. Maybe he's physically impossible to exist irl.
In general I feel like Araki's newer skinny boi style is easier to cosplay than his older super bulk style.
Stephen Universe characters,
DragonBall characters,
Black Magician Girl,
Suicide Squad Harley Quinn
Those are the ones I see that always look off. It's especially painful when little details are missed.
>>9093729
Harley's Suicide Squad version is like somebody was given money and the instructions "We'll leave specifics up to you, but generally speaking, make Harley look like she literally sucks dicks for meth and listens exclusively to ICP".
>>9099940
Because Edward Elric is not a 30-year-old Japanese woman (not that such a person can't cosplay Ed if they want, but the end result should not still resemble a 30-year-old Japanese woman). No one with eyes would ever look at that picture and get the sense of a teenage dude.
Kyle from Fanboy and Chum Chum.
I've seen a few anons talking about danganronpa 2 characters...sooo, here's my try with Ibuki Mioda! I wish I had better photos of it on my phone, but it's not the case.
>>9128018
It's kind of meh for me. Needs a better wig and better styling. Plus your expression isn't one I would see Ibuki having. I've seen better.

CHAIKA ON THE FRONT PAGE!
Jessica Rabbit
Pic related. Most of the female fans are fujoshit and male fans are edgelords that only do shitty Yami cosplays or complete neckbeards so it'll never be done properly by a guy with the right proportions.
>>9132761
>>9131584
These. Jessica has OTT cartoon proportions so it's hard to pull her off without plummeting straight into uncanny valley. All the Felicia cosplayers aren't brave enough to do the fur strips correctly and just opt for a full bra and don't do the paws right. She's not supposed to be cute or sexy, she's supposed to be big and ferocious.
>>9093729
Suicide Squad Harley just looks like an even edgier, trashier version of Yolandi Vi$$er
and this is coming from someone who likes yolandi
>>9107699
You're welcome
>>9127792
Duh. It's easier to be skinny and lean than it is to be huge and lean.
Like I could pull off one of Araki's newer JoJos, but it's nothing to brag about since the only qualifications I have are being 6'1" and lean.
>>9093541
