I'm curious.....

What do you think is the most over cosplayed series? What is the latest trends? Is there any anime/game that's still popular even some time after it's release?

I just want to hear everyone's thoughts on this. What would you like to see cosplay of?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1 on:** May 11, 2009, 08:33:46 pm »

Naruto, Death Note, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Bleach

Kallika · « **Reply #2 on:** May 11, 2009, 08:39:37 pm »

Naruto and Sailor Moon...

Naruto, Bleach and Code Geass. D.Gray-Man is gaining popularity too. So is Kuroshitsuji, but there are more Grells than anything else.

Soul Eater is also getting pretty popular.
I usually don't enjoy seeing overcosplayed series, or at least over cosplayed characters. Most of the anime I really love are unknown or underrated anyways so it's what I'll really fangasm over.
Random question though it pertains to the thread, does the popularity of a certain series have an effect on if you cosplay it or not? I know it does with me. I like it more when less people know what I'm cosplaying as, I get bothered less and it's nice to have a few people come up that appreciate an underrated series.

'Cuz Grell's the shiz.

Anywhoz, I agree with Naruto, Soule Eater, Death Note, Final Fantasy, and maaaaybe Code Geass. NOT Sailor Moon though. >8/

I can't say from experience but i think i would like to cosplay as something at least a few people know about or some one i really like (like how I'm cospaying Axel and another character from Soul Eater that I've never seen a cosplay of)

Maybe it's because i don't like magical girl animes...i might notice it more...(sorry since i think you like Sailor Moon)

princessmoon · « **Reply #8 on:** May 11, 2009, 10:45:27 pm »

Naruto is @ the top for overcosplay-ature....(haha a made up word!) Then I'd say Bleach and Death Note (have you seen all those L's?!?! lol!) for the top 3. K-con should have a poll as to what anime series is the most cosplayed! lol.

I wouldn't say Sailor Moon is overcosplayed. I think it's pretty neat that the series/manga is still being acknowledged since I grew up watching it! ^_^

It looks like this year, Code Geass and Soul Eater cosplayers are increasing exponentially! We will see, ne? ^_^

CharlotteElbourne · « **Reply #9 on:** May 11, 2009, 10:47:16 pm »

Naruto, Bleach, and Death Note are over cosplayed. I still love Death Note, but I like cosplaying obscure characters more ^^ No one knows who you are, and its kinda sad since you hardly get pictures taken, but I still love it!

Sailor Moon got me into anime, so I still love it dearly =3

Gurran LAggan's getting up there. :/

I LOVE uncosplayed series. Gives you less to go up against when you cosplay from it.

I like cosplaying characters that are cosplayed less often from a well known series, such as Temari....or Youji. But Star Ocean: Till the End of Time isn't very well known >_>;;

Kallika · « **Reply #14 on:** May 12, 2009, 06:06:01 pm »

Hehe..has anyone else seen a Kim cosplay from Soul Eater...because I'm going as her and I've seen no one cosplay as her..

I feel special..I'm actually making most of the cosplay too..I'm kinda buying most of the stuff for my Axel cosplay other then the boots.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #17 on:** May 12, 2009, 06:36:08 pm »

Lol its okay. :3 you don't have to always make everything. I can't wait to see your kim btw.

It most likely won't be super super because well..i haven't sewed in a bit, but my grandma will help also well I'm not one of the prettiest people in the world lol...and I'm taller than Kim but shorter than Axel..

Naruto and Death not... nuff said.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #20 on:** May 19, 2009, 06:03:32 pm »

I truly don't think any series can be over cosplayed. If someone likes the anime and wants to cosplay from it, let them. I guess, the only thing that bothers me is when they cosplay from a series just because it's popular, or because it's easy *coughcoughDeathnotecough*

I mean, I'll be Roxas from Kingdom Hearts, and even though he is over done, I'm still gonna do him for I think he's awesome. Of course, I'm also cosplaying a character from a series that's not to well known.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #21 on:** May 19, 2009, 06:06:37 pm »

o3o I think that popular cosplays usually lead to good thing. I mean, you can usually find someone who has put the same amount of work into your costume and who share same interests. >< But, with something like Naruto Uzumaki. Dx I mean, you REALLY have to stand out. A Naruto headband doesn't cut it as cosplay.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 19, 2009, 06:17:56 pm »

Agreed! So many people just quickly buy something that's related or just put something together, and don't really try. It's one thing to just wear some of the stuff to be a fan, it's another to pretend you're cosplaying when you really didn't try.

Romo · « **Reply #23 on:** May 19, 2009, 06:46:14 pm »

If you want any chance at originality DON'T do Naruto. It's majorly overdone, to the point where I can probably spot five Sakuras, three Narutos, and four Sasukes from one spot sitting down.

makichan · « **Reply #24 on:** May 19, 2009, 06:53:24 pm »

My opinion would be Full Metal Alchemist, Final Fantasy 7, Bleach, Naruto, Kingdom Hearts, and Death Note.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #25 on:** May 19, 2009, 06:58:46 pm »

True with the Naruto part. I think other characters from that series need to cosplayed more. One year, I'll probably be Shikimaru.

It seems that it's either the main threesome (Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke) or the Sand threesome (Gaara, Tamari and Konkuro). Where's all the other peoples!!!???!?!?!??!?!

Full Metal Alchemist

Especially with the new series out. By the time Kumoricon comes around we'll be pretty far into it. I like that though, I want to see more good FMA cosplay. Plus I've been wanting to do some upgrades to mine, gives me more of a reason to

makichan · « **Reply #31 on:** May 20, 2009, 04:07:05 pm »

It's fun to cosplay from a popular series but as a character that no one goes as. Side characters need more love.

oslapedo · « **Reply #32 on:** May 20, 2009, 04:11:29 pm »

I agree, Maki~! Vocaloid's becoming a pretty widely cosplayed thing but I do the under-loved and under-represented characters like Meiko and in the future some obscure fanmades.

I think a human Al would be acceptable if it was a huge group cosplay of the movie... someday I'd like to do Conqueror of Shambala Winry

Last year there were a bunch of awesome FMA manga cosplayers, I saw Armstrong, Olivia, Mei Long, and Ran Fan. I wish I would've talked to them!

I hung out pretty much two out of the three days with the Mei and Ran Fan. I was around Ling for some of the time too since he was in their 'possy'. They were really nice and awesome to be around! It's a shame you didn't get to meet them.

Yeah, I know the Armstrong and Olivia. The Olivia used to do a Martel cosplay. I've hung out with them a couple times, though mainly at Sakura-con as I'm busy staffing kcon.

If I didn't already do Greed I'd probably do a Dorochet (one of Greed's chimeras, the one with the sword) cosplay. I too <3 obscure things.
