/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

The pony canyon cosplayers at AX were super disappointing

>>8457698

no kidding. I didn't get to snap any pictures, but I was hoping for a really good Kumiko or Asuka

>>8457731
Best I've found from AX, simply by the virtue that it was the only Asuka cosplay there (?).

>>8457877
they're so... old.....

>>8457698
The Shuichi at the con

Where's the wig? The thumbnail didn't look so bad for the outfit, but then I saw the turned-up lapels. This guy put no effort into the "cosplay" and only brought/borrowed a trombone.

>>8457880
Yeah, twentysomethings should just cut their losses and skip the cosplay when it comes to this style of character design. You can admittedly pull it off if you have a round face and waifish physique or if the character has a slightly more mature air, but everyone seems to THINK they have the right face/body and usually doesn';t...

tfw i want to cosplay kumiko but i'm worried i won't do my fluffy waifu justice

>>8457916
I'm a twentysomething, I'm fully aware I look more mature, but I also really don't give a fuck and will cosplay characters I like even though I don't necessarily fit them perfectly face-wise. The benefit of age is that you kind of stop caring.

>>8457932
Okj that's cool and all, but on /cgl/ we usually talk about how cosplays look to us/whether people look good in it, not how personally satisfying they found the experience

>>8457916
Because hiring literal high schoolers to work an industry booth is a super idea!

>>8458234
>19-22

>>8458323
Excuse me exactly how is 22 not twenty something?

>>8457502
>tfw you only know percussion

The people you're gonna find cosplaying this are going to be band geeks, which are usually not kawaii like this. Who else can afford real instruments

>>8458524
I'd prefer people who could actually play instruments

>>8458418
pretty sure they meant late 20s who don't need to be cosplaying anyways kek

I want to cosplay from hibike eupho because I really enjoyed it as an ex band geek, but I want to cosplay a minor character from the section I was in. Is it worth it or should I just move on?

I'm working on the summer uniform! Sorry for the crappy lighting.

>>8458715
totally worth it

>>8458715
S-Same...

>>8458715

Worth it, especially if you're still in practice with the instrument

>>8458715
Ex band geeks should gravitate towards this show, but I was percussion like >>8458501
so I'm out. And I usually love KyoAni shit but none of these designs are cute to me, non-cosplayable due to their uncuteness and not being a kawaii high schooler anymore, and I still haven't even caught up with shows from two seasons ago due to cosplay and art stuff.

I know this is pretty /a/ but if I loved goofy K-On, Amagi, and Free! and have never been interested in Hyouka, should I even bother with this show?

>>8458715
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was thinking of doing this!

>>8458837
It has less of a goofy tone and more of a gentle dramatic tone. If you don't generally like SoL this may not be for you, but it's painfully accurate to what a music class is really like (at least compared to my experience) which makes it more interesting to ex band geeks.

>>8458553
MFW I'm 30 and I'm cosplaying from this anyway because I can finally combine my love of cosplay and color guard. Haters to the left.

>>8458234
The booths hire volunteers and do try to screen on costume quality, unless PonyCanyon was scraping the bottom of the barrel for this.

>>8458783
Maybe it's just the lighting, but why is the blue part of the skirt splotchy-looking? Kind of cloud-like?

>>8458946
Which character? Got photos?

More from AX

>>8458992
Midori, since she's the one that gets stuck with the flag. I don't selfpost though, sorry anon. I'm sure the consensus would be that I don't suit her. I'd do better as Asuka or Reina but IDGAF because I will finally spin in costume.

Now to find a con that will let a 6 foot poll pass weapons check

>>8458999
The cardboard cutouts are life-sized, right?

>>8458501
>>8458837
I'm >>8458715 and I'm also a percussionist. I wanted to do the marching band uniform and carry bass 1 or 2 for part of a con. Or even mallets or drum sticks, I really like glasses girl from the percussion section

>>8459009
They might be better than the official cosplayers at the booth

bumping with my own cos though this was before a friend lent me their trumpet...
I really enjoyed this series so much but im super bummed that every instrument other then the main girls got shafted since I played flute in school.

>>8459149
Where are your legs?

>>8459179
Anime isn't real life.They don't really exist.

>>8459179

She's a ghost

>>8459310
!!!!

>>8459149
Cute! It looks really well made and I love how bright your contacts are. Did you use a certain pattern for the top or just make your own?

>>8458715
Same! I've been scoping out cute clarinet background characters

Never seen the show but just wanted to express how lovely and warm the colour scheme is. The brown, beige and maroon of their uniforms, along with their rich dark black, browns, blues and greens of their hair, and the bright brass colours on top.

>>8457916
That would cut out like 70% of anime characters though

>>8458715
I feel like there is a potential for a decently big group to just wander around a con in uniforms with their instruments from high school.

>>8458837
Man I'd reccomend it for Taki-Sensei alone. Like when he calmly is telling them their all shit I just it did things to me.

>>8459399
Clarinet is the best. Man I may have moved around in my band a lot but the clarinet will always be #1 in my heart.

>>8459022
Only if you can find another bass to do some sick splits with. Hmmm I have an idea...

>>8459399
The geeky girls on the left are so cute.

I thought she was kind of qt

>>8460373
The hat and the bias tape are really really horrible. And is that her real hair?

>>8460368
Yeah, the one with the green hair over her eyes is my fav.

>>8459385
thank you! I ended up just modding a pattern block for this since that's what I always do.

I'm considering cosplaying Reina, since she plays the trumpet (as do I), she's 158 cm tall (exactly my hight) and she's an amazing character. IRL I'm not even close to be as cool as she is, but that's what cosplaying's for, right? I'm kinda chubby tho, gotta have to get rid that before cosplaying someone as perfect as she is *-*

mfw melty-shit cosplayed kumiko

>>8460373
Maybe cute in age and not being fat, but the costume itself is quite poor in construction. And is that her real hair or a ratty wig?

>>8460373
Holy shit this girl's face looks real similar to mine and it freaked me out a little bit.

>>8459973
Please say SoCal, bass-san
