Attack on titan is the biggest one, Dragon Maid, and really shitty Boku no Hero cosplays.
Picture semi related. Was tired of Hestia.
Nier, Zero suit samus, sexy Velma, raven, Lucoa, Misty, tharja, dva, Harley, and Ahri
>>9468911
Attack on Titan
Every con since it aired
Wendy. Why people started that bullshit meme trend is beyond me. Sadly its cosplay hype had barely begun.
>>9468911
Deadpool, Harley Quinn, Love Live
Anything Overwatch.
Disney, Yuri on Ice, Harley Quinns, Jokers, Vocaloid, Overwatch. Soon Nier.
Deadpool, Overwatch (D.Va actually like her but still. ) SS Harley Quinns, etc
Disney princesses crsossovers/alternate versions taken from some tumblr fanart.
>>9470449
>Vocaloid
Bad opinion. Sure, the Crypton vocaloids are common, but there are dozens of others that are rarely done and I would love to see more of.
>>9468911
Love Live, especially the cheerleader version
Velma, lucoa, Harleys of any flavor, poison ivy, Wonder woman, bunny anything, mei, fursuiters with the goofy-ass mascot padding (for some reason I'm okay with the humanoids?) Basically anything fat people do.
BONUS RANT
If you're doing hotline Miami please don't buy that shitty thin track jacket, you're a contract killer not captain of the chess team. Find a used letterman jacket on eBay. Yes I know the colors will be different and the letter won't be B, but that's the point, Jacket isn't the only Jacket. You will look one million times better.
>>9470041
>Nier
I think you mean 2B and only Tubii. No one touches actual Papa/Bro Nier, Yonah, Emil or Kaine. And I feel like any attention Kaine gets is out of context lingerie.
>>9468911
Come on, dragon maid isn't even a year old!
any steven universe
Love Live cosplays get on my wick.
Also the obnoxious Deadpools and the Harley's who think theyre original.
Also all the really bad Yuri on Ice cosplays. As much as I love the series, so many cosplayers have butchered it
>>9473529
People are making shitty cosplays of it already because it's the trend show. Already know two people doing that and ero-sensei.
>year
Manga has been out for a while anon.
>>9470419
I think it's gotten kind of out of control at this point, but Wendy's had a pretty good track record of BTFOing McDonald's, Hardee's and various Twitter idiots, so at least it makes perfect sense
The only series so far has been Attack on Titan. The uniforms are so boring and there aren't many alternatives to the uniforms either.
H-how often do you people go to conventions that you're tired of such new trends? I haven't even seen a good number of these on the floor yet.
Undertale. In addition to the legion of poorly sculpted budget skeletons (primarily Sans), there was a particularly obnoxious Frisk at ColossalCon last year that carried around a Flowey that played noise. I hope it's calmed down considerably this year.
>>9470761
ot but I love Hotline miami and I'm just happy to see it cosplayed desu
>>9475116
You're seeing the "It's popular so I hate it now" crowd more so than the actual over saturation variety like Memepool and Harley.
tired of most of the harley quinn, deadpools and dvas mostly because most of them don't go with th emost effort (buying cheap suits online or not having the full costume, specifically dva's armor, headset and gun)
i am pretty ok with a really good deadpool suit someone wore at a locl con though
>>9474996
Manga was not popular with cosplaying English speakers until the anime was released
>>9474776
>really bad Yuri on Ice cosplay
Fucking this. I was already annoyed with overweight short girls with no sense of hygiene trying to be sexy boys from Durarara, Hetalia, Homestuck, Black Butler, Supernatural etc but seeing them in skin tight spandex waving gay pride flags is a whole new level.
>>9475281
honestly I feel like this applies to anything. I'm tired of seeing shitty, low effort versions of pretty much anything remotely popular. If you want to do a popular character at least put in the effort to be in the top 50% of people on the con floor. It's not like that would be hard anyway
>>9475116
Honestly I see these at every con I go to. Whatever is new and trendy blows up fast (Overwatch, Dragon Maid) and then fizzles out once people move on to the next big thing.
>>9470761
>Yes I know the colors will be different and the letter won't be B, but that's the point, Jacket isn't the only Jacket. You will look one million times better.
please dont listen to this anon, he doesnt know what hes talking about and probably never played the games before.
>>9475566
Hotline Miami 2 is gay retcon
Sailor scout version of X
Sailor scouts but with a different motif (fantasy, steampunk, cyberpunk, etc.)
Any big formal cosplay (Disney, Anime,Sakizo(u),etc) and they don't have a petticoat on above their hoopskirt...Basically anything poorly put together aka whatever the homestuck fandom is jumping onto next.
>>9468911
Non-anime cosplays at anime cons.
I know anime cons are never going to go back to almost anime-only cosplays.
>>9470445
god this
they must've made an error in printing out all those 'swimsuits' and they're just giving them away.
sure a lot of those girls look hot, but after the 20th one, you're not sure if you already took a pic with said girl cause they all look the same.
>>9470445
honestly just the female characters
>>9470761
Im so triggered by the whole Velma thing because i was one of the first cosplayers from late 2009 who did Velma and then suddenly cosplay deviants fucking does a velma set and now EVEYRONE is fucking velma. I will forever be so salty about this shit.
>>9478707
anon... people dressing up as velma has existed much longer than 2009
>>9478800
No shit. However, it didnt blow up the way it did until 2010 when everyone started dressing up as her after that CosplayDeviant set of Envy started making rounds. It was nice being one of the few while it lasted.
>>9478707
>I was one of the first
Congratulations, nobody cares. Did you really think nobody else would ever cosplay Velma? Or are you mad that other people look better?
>>9473513
I think nier is a pretty cool girl. hse kills machines and doesn't afraid of anything
>>9475664
Depends on the time and effort. You wont get something like pic related from Mom Dad & Me.
Am I the only one who's sick of seeing a bunch of Dr. Who cosplays at every anime con?
Fucking Killing Stalking.
So to everyone who says Overwatch
are you guys seeing a lot of the cardboard meka cosplays as well or are those still alright
>>9474996
Did the average western cosplayer even know Dragon Maid existed before the anime was announced?
I mean regardless, the anime isn't even a SEASON old. It's not like SnK where it's been a craze for like 5-6 years now, even before the anime started airing.
Sometimes I wish I can be on the creative team for a few anime series to bait cosplayers. It is so easy, look at Lucoa! She isn't a super new or innovative design. Bad wig colors, hat, horns, tank top, shorts, fetish thigh high socks, big boobs.
But you know, many do cosplay because they honestly "like the character," not because it is a bait worthy boob cosplay.
Anything Deadpool related. Dressing up as an unfunny deathstroke doesn't give you the right to act like a retard at conventions.
>>9483199
i don't know where you live anon, but i've actually never seen killing stalking cosplay outside of the internet. not that i'm saying the cosplays are great in the first place but yeah...
>>9483337
I see a decent number of those. Not sure why it would bother people though, people should be able to cosplay what they want.
>>9483462
I see more people complaining about annoying Deadpools than I see annoying Deadpools tbqh. I mean, there's definitely a lot of Deadpools at every con, but I've never really been bothered by one or noticed one bothering other people.
>Sailor Moon
>Naruto
>SnK
>Deadpool
>Basic ass miku hatsune
>Harley
>Shitty AU versions that make ZERO sense
>Killing Stalking

Semi-related question:
What's a cosplay I can do and wear that will upset or annoy other cosplayers at a convention? Has to be permitted and legal.
>>9484380
Why would you want to do this? Get off on negative attention?
>>9484384
Just curious. I wouldn't actually do it.
>>9484380
if you're in a liberal state, trump
>>9484380
oldschool rage comic face mask with a minecraft sword and maid unifor,
>>9483606
Honestly really easy to overlook. They are all comprised of 14 year old tumblr kids and I could not tell the difference between KS cosplay or if it's just their edgy fashion.
>>9484380
Probably anything that is controversial.
>>9484402
DESU I feel like you'd get more negative attention in a red state. Most people would laugh their asses off. I suppose it depends on the execution.
Wear a MAGA hat in a blue state and all bets are off though.
I feel like what's way too overdone online and at the actual convention scene are two very different beasts.
>Cons: Steven universe, Pokémon
>Online: Fucking crossovers, D.Va
I think it's because the things saturated online are the people trying really hard to get attention, while on the floor they kinda go unnoticed in lieu of the fucking sea of shitty saturated con cosplay. I think what at least what I look for in cosplay on the floor vs online is different too.
>>9484380
Shitty velma bunnysuit in a shiny fabric preferably with no boning or corset and an orange VK sweater on top
>>9484380
Do a steampunk Velma/Harley/deadlool mash up
>>9484380
Go as ny character from Steven Universe with a MAGA hat. I saw someone do this and the amount of butthurt SU fans who went up to him to flip his hat off was in the hundreds lol.
>>9483450
I did a lucoa cosplay because my friends were putting together a Dragon Maid group and it looked like fun. I'm not much of a cosplayer so I like costumes that I can put together from shit I already have, and Lucoa is definitely that.
>>9483611
I got glomped by a roving pack of about 5 or 6 Deadpools last year at Fanime. I was dressed as Hawk from Seven Deadly Sins, so I have no idea what that was about.
>>9475554
I specifically make it a point to cosplay characters from a trend series at least a few months after it dies out.
>>9484380
Do something dumb, outdated, cringing and out of touch. You will offend everyone. Basically memes from like five or a decade years ago
>>9468911
The thing i was surprised by is that in the recent cons i went to there wasn't nearly as much tohru and kanna as i'd expect
i'll own up to my shit taste and say that i fucking love dragon maid and would've liked legions of them
but it was legions of lucoa
because she's a basic bitch closet cosplay
which is what i was dreading
because lucoa is my fav
and now when i see my beautiful wife i only remember the fat lazy girls in booty shorts and tank tops showing their ungodly ugly tattoos
also i'm tired of deadpools, kiritos, payday and those cunts that come to cons dressed in their airsoft gear
>>9475664
I fucking hate it when people do Sakizou only to get attention with a flashy costume but cheap construction. It looks passable from afar but as soon as you walk closer it's a hot mess of badly done embroidery, wrong fabric choices, sloppy paint job, droopy lace and wonky jewelry. My salt levels go up every time one of these trainwrecks place in a competition over a cleanly done accurate costume just because theirs is the bigger one. It's the trinity blood of the 2010's.
Other crap I'm tired of seeing in conventions:
>Shingeki no Kyojin
>Love Live
>Unimaginative Pokemon gijinkas
>Any sports anime ever
>Disney Princesses
And to make it worse I swear these are the ONLY cosplays you ever see these days.
>>9484380
I feel like pedobear is genuinely not socially accepted at cons anymore.
>>9491418
>The girl with the easiest cosplay is the most popular
Its fine to be dissapointed, but you shouldn't be surprised
>>9475664
Even well constructed Sakizou stuff just doesn't look right on real people.
>>9475830
The one big convention in my state actually has a rule that the cosplays entered into the masquerade have to have some kind of Japanese media origin.
>the con head gets shit for it but he's stood his ground and i'm so thankful for it
I feel anime definitely still needs it's own con and stuff. It's more popular than it used to be but it's a little more niche than comics.
I have noticed that you can wear anything from any kind of media to an anime con and it will feel normal. You'll get just as many people asking for your photo. But if I wear an anime cosplay to a comic convention I feel so out of place. More people here in the states who like anime more often than not have knowledge of domestic comics as well. But you're likely to run into a lot of people at a comic con who don't watch anime.
Yuno Gasai- this seems to be at any convention I go to still. Seems to be in the same "CRAZY GURL" vein as Harley Quinn.
Any kind of printed Lycra bodysuit costume- especially D.Va and Spider Gwen. I know this is an easily available costume for anyone but IMO they're ugly.
Pokémon gijinkas- I can't tell what half of these are supposed to be
Homestuck/Steven Universe/Hetallia/Undertale- it's like a sign that you should be avoided at all costs. If it is made well you get a free pass I guess.
>year of our lord 2017 and convention's are still accepting ask a country/homestuck panels
>>9491673
Forgot one
Wigless Kirito- dude we get it you're lazy as fuck and already feel like you spent a lot of money on the jacket and swords. If I can stuff all of my lady hair under my heavy wigs you have no muddafuckin excuse. Get a wig. Style the wig. You'll look so much better. Using your lifeless dyed hair throws everything off so hard.
>remembers all of the sword art online props that have been sold to my local anime/manga store.
I guess it's slowing down a bit.
>>9491677
>lifeless dyed hair
Not them but I'm sorry you don't have wicked ass locks. Not everyone has stringy, thin hair.
>>9491875
Wigs just look better. Especially for anime costumes. Especially Kirito. Pic related. I know there are probably people out there that have done great with their real hair, but 90% of the time a wig would be an upgrade.
Normal hair doesn't cut it for a majority of the time. A wig will stay styled a lot longer than natural hair and you're more likely to find a closely matched color for your character. You could find a great wig for Kirito for like under $30 if you wanted to.
>sage for endless wig vs. real hair debate
>>9492003
Forgot pic.
>>9468911
Tired of seeing these threads, but whatevs
>>9475116
For me it's not at cons, it's seeing my FB/IG feeds full of halfassed costume selfies all the time.
>>9491418
I have never seen payday cosplays as conventiosn I attended. I fucking love that game. Would love to see somebody create a group cosplay consisting of clover, hoxton, Dallas, Chains, Bonnie,Dragan, Jacket, Sokol, John wick, Sweet tooth, or wolf.
>>9491418
I'm tired of people not trying to do her other outfits. I've seen one of her pink shirt, and after that just black walmart tank tops everywhere.
I'm really glad I decided to go with her tube top and overalls, just wish I could wear contacts so I could do her eyes justice.
I'm tired of Pokemon gijinkas that are:bellydancers, fancy, bikini, or kigus.
Undertale, AoT, Ponys, and unsealed paint Homestucks.
>>9492202
there were at least 4-5 payday cosplayers at ACEN last week, so they're definitely out there. Clover seems to be the most popular
>>9492202
don't get me wrong, i love the game too
i guess it's just the fact that the cosplay requires so little effort that it makes me rage
>>9492005
>Using a photo that's been obviously touched up as an example
Not that I disagree per se, but still
>>9491654
>the con head gets shit for it but he's stood his ground and i'm so thankful for it
Bless his heart.
I don't get why so many people get their panties in a bunch when one ANIME-THEMED convention doesn't allow western characters in their contests/masquerades. You have like a million other conventions to compete at with your fucking Overwatch suit, you don't have to be an entitled jerk. I come to an ANIME-THEMED convention to experience anime-related stuff, not westshit I can see all over every convention.
>>9470041
;; My first cosplay is going to be Velma. Mostly because my husband's going with my and is obsessed with Scooby Doo and wants to be Shaggy. I'm not sexy enough to be Daphne.
Maybe i'll go as scooby after all.
To be honest, what I hate the most now are meme cosplays. I'd rather sift through a sea of bad anime cosplayers than deal with one guy dressed as an internet joke. Troll masks, dat boi, Robbie Rotten, Shrek, all of them need to go. Half the time it's guys who think they are funny going around being a nuisance to everyone.
Ranking of cosplays found at anime cons.
>Actual anime/manga/Japanese-based cosplay
>Anime adjacent western shit (Avatar, Voltron, etc.)
>Stuff that has no other con/event for it nearby (usually Disney)
>Western comics/shows/fandoms/geek shit
>Weird obscure/unfitting cosplays of things that aren't memes but also not fandom related (Local comm has Hannah Montana girl)
>Meme cosplays.
Agreeing with other anons that I want to see anime stuff at an anime con. It's not like nowadays anime cons are the ONLY conventions that take place nearby, most places now have both anime cons, comic cons, and pop culture cons. I've even noticed a lot of larger scale horror cons popping up lately. If you're going to an anime con, do something anime related.
>>9493965
>If you're going to an anime con, do something anime related.
Ok why don't you host a specifically /co/ or /v/ con. Better yet, host a multimedia convention. Just because someone's a weeb doesn't mean they have literally 1 single hobby. Vidya directors will work with anime, and mangaka will sometimes do games. Pic related has an anime, but will you go autismal if someone brings up the game?
>>9494045
That's what I'm saying, dipshit.
and the Tales series is fine because it's Japanese.
And there are cons for vidya and capeshit, do those cosplays there. No one has one single interest but it's getting to the point I see more Western cosplays at anime cons than anime. I don't mind some western cosplay at anime cons but now it seems like that's all you see.
>>9494085
>I see more Western cosplays at anime cons than anime.
Have you tried actually tried talking to someone who cares/can do something about it then? You can whine on /cgl/ and literally nothing will happen. Or you can take your fit to someone and ask for them to host something western specific.
And I'm not sure if you've noticed but western media, especially for kids, has taken a lot from anime. One of the primary reasons you'll see 100 SU cosplayers at places like Anime Expo is because of pic related. These medias are becoming intertwined and you can't possibly separate them at the root unless you're dealing with capeshit or dudebro media like Gears of War.
>>9491418
I predicted I was going to see tons of shitty Lucoas and a bunch of store-bought Kannas at one convention and I was right. Most Tohrus were pretty good though. I don't think I saw a single passable Lucoa.
>>9494092
I think they were talking more about the abundance of overwatch, deadpool, gotg, Halo, payday, tacticool, and undertale you see at cons, not the animated shows
>>9494116
Well if that's the case, then you'd rarely see cosplay of those at all. As far as I know, there aren't many video game specific cons, much less giant ones. And anime cons themselves have gaming rooms, which seems like an indirect invitation for those people to show up.
Make the con 100% anime and I think there's a slight possibility that it'd slow down. But really, what con will willingly lose profits from gamers having tournaments?
I love good overwatch cosplay but if you've just slapped a brown wig and some leggings on you can fuck off.
Can we just get all deadpool, Harley quinn, and joker banned? So fucking overdone and almost aways by obnoxious assholes.
>>9494124
I'd be fine with never seeing payday ever again
it's always just a cheap suit, a $30 mask, and an airsoft gun with blue surgical gloves
>>9470372
heh
you weren't around for Naruto back in the early 00s, were you?
>>9478800
they meant sexy THICC velma
before recently no one gave two fucks about a velma
thanks ivy doomkitty
>>9491418
even worse, they don't have the TITS for lucoa and just think being thick is a fine blobby requirement
some things shouldn't be cosplayed only but by the 1% of sexy ladies
>>9491654
funny thing
i still had a problem seeing star wars/trek outside of comic cons. its like, shit, its a gaming con, those two haven't really had anything relevant in years (at the time was like 2006-7)
i absolutely HATE harley quinns now, just all fat chicks who think IM CRAZY and can make my friends chuckle is a reason to dress up in the tightest fishnets and stuff into a overflowing corset with a bad wig.
got way worse once suicide squad hit, i leaned over to my friend when the movie was on and said "bet you $50 this is all we see at the next con for Harley" and i got $50 the next week.
fuck social media and popular shit ruining how cons used to be, for REAL fans, not for fucking posers for casually and i mean CASUALLY watch a comic movie.
didn't have to deal with this shit 20 years ago
anyone got classic con photos to post? i need a palette cleanser
>>9498143
>for REAL fans
And you lost me. Fuck off with that shit.
>>9484380
I saw a Harley Quinn/Deadpool crossover once and I wanted to die, so that
Y'all need to stop with the smug girl cosplay
What I'm really sick of are the Daleks, they are annoying and they take up so much room!
Also sick of the Harley Quinn and Joker couple bullshit, because if the cosplayers read the comics they'd know that they actually hate each other.
Also sick of the shitty, fat Inori cosplays, like that shit burns your eyes.
As for Love Live I'm actually just sick of the actual cosplayers, they are all pretty much total bitches who start fights with other love live cosplayers.
Yuri on Ice, even if they're good I'm just sick of it. Eeveelution groups, Killing Stalking, Heathers cosplayers in ill fitting blazers with modern over the top makeup. Honestly, I'm not too bothered by Undertale but I have yet to meet a Chara cosplayer that wasn't an 11 year old kid who had no concept of social awareness and felt the need to scream they were going to kill everyone.
>>9468911
Maidragon anime has only been out for like 3 months, and barely any westerners cared about it before the adaptation. Only issue with it is Tooru cosplayers who don't even bother getting a tail, they should kill themselves. If they have it but took it off because it was uncomfortable, that's understandable.
>>9475830
This is okay as long as the people: a) actually put effort or thought into their cosplay, and b) acknowledge that it's an anime convention and act civil about it. Homestuck cosplayers or whatever who just wear a tshirt and pretend it's a cosplay or people who treat them like comic-cons can fuck right off.
However, there's plenty of clever and well done cosplays from western fandoms that people wear to anime cons. Obviously it should primarily be nipponese but exceptions should be made as well
>>9504177
I feel like Toby deliberately designed Undertale characters to be difficult or awkward to cosplay. I don't think I've seen a single UT cosplay that I thought was exceptional or well executed.
>>9503965
>As for Love Live I'm actually just sick of the actual cosplayers, they are all pretty much total bitches who start fights with other love live cosplayers.
sounds like someone didn't get their best girl in a cosplay group
>>9504202
>Only issue with it is Tooru cosplayers who don't even bother getting a tail, they should kill themselves.
That escalated quickly. You're also wrong because Tohru walks around town almost in every episode buying groceries without her tail showing. Maybe don't be such a cuntrag next time.
>>9504202
I'm going to my first con next weekend and I was going to cosplay as Kobayashi. My thoughts are that I'm going to see a lot of slutty girls dressed like Dragon Maids who I want to take pictures with me.
>>9504212
Haha, no. I got some one else's best girl.
After Fanime I gotta say, the only thing I got absolutely sick and tired of seeing was D.Va. Was there a /ton/ of Overwatch in general? Absolutely. Dragon Maid? You bet. But good lord the D.Va. . .
(and I like D.Va)
>>9478625
This. If I had to cosplay from Overwatch, I'd just rather cosplay as my husbando Reinhardt, and I'm a grill myself.
And no, I don't mean a sexy Jessica Nigri-esque version.
>Nier
>overcosplayed
wut
Nier is underrated af
>>9505440
Have you not been to a recent con? It's a sea of dvas, lucoas, and 2bs
>>9505498

That's Nier Autobots, not Nier original. Let me know when there's a flood of Devolas and Popolas.
