well since i like eureka 7 more than naruto i'll enlighten you heh 2nd picture kinda screams eureka. Talho(black haired girl) is fairly revealing unless you're into that.  Eureka's costume(teal haired girl) it quite difficult to put together. Seeing as how naruto costumes are easier to come by, you might need to submit and conform to narutardism =/ . I plan to do a eureka 7 cos in the future i just didn't have the money to get it together for kcon =/

Some quick referance pics i got up for ya.... then switched talho for a less revealing pic >.<

Now I think that's a little unfair top say. Sure many of the Naruto cosplayers are what you would call a narutard, but their or plenty of us who have been fans since they first started printing the manga in english years ago. And really that's true of any fandom, even Eureka 7 has it's moron fans.

Welll.

Tobi- Pros: you get to be funny or 'like tobi' the whole day. Also, costume is relatively easy.
Cons: You'd have to make the mask and find out how to get the overcoat thing he has. If you wanted to make it, it'd take some work.

http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w195/naruto666_04/Tobi_Akatsuki_Madara_Pein_364_by_st.jpg < just a reference.

Or, you could do THIS Tobi, which is much less popular, but easier.


Hidan: Pros: His hair would be EASY for you to get. Just flip it and die it. Also, he's really cool. And not many people cosplay as him.
Cons: If you wanted to make his weapon along with him, it'd be a lot of work. And like I said before, you'd have to find someway to make the akatsuki jacket.

http://tn3-1.deviantart.com/fs11/300W/i/2006/177/f/9/Hidan_by_pokefreak.jpg < reference

Eureka: Pros: Almost no one cosplays her. You'd be a sight that most people recognize, but it would only be you instead of herding of others cosplaying the same thing. Also, her hair would be relatively easy as well, just die it blue and change around the hairstyle.
Cons: She has blue hair, which could potentially turn your hair blue-ish if you used some kind of dyes (a wig would solve this) and some people MAY not recognize her, although I imagine most should. And her character is really quiet. And a pretty hard costume.

http://www.absoluteanime.com/eureka_seven/eureka.jpg

Talho: Pros: She's awesome, and the costume looks cool. Even if people didn't recognize your character, they would still think that you're awesome.
Cons: It's a very revealing costume, and if you're not the kinda person into that, then this is out. Also, the costume may be harder then the rest to make, merely because it used little amounts of cloth in weird ways and is not from a highly popular show, so there is no costume you can just buy and wear.

http://www.fujicreation.com/eureka7/talho01.jpg

Eh...that was long! XD

Edited my post to add some reference pictures, and yeah, wigs are probably the best. If you dyed, no matter which character you choose, you could have some accidently blue-ish or white-ish hair. XD

Wigs are great but it is hard to find one that looks good. A lot of wigs look like crap. I was lucky to find a wig for albel that looks perfect.

Kumoricon

I would like to know who I could Cosplay as
I kind of look like Itachi when I want to but I also want to be Tobi
And since my sis is most likely going to be Hidan
I don't know who to be.





And my hair can't really go away from my right eye so I'm kind of screwed there
And yes Tobis A Good Boy is my sis ;D
