Ever want to cosplay from something you hate to do the costume justice? Have a series you're ashamed to be a fan of but love it so much you've planned a cosplay out that you can never buy?

Share it here!

Pic related is mine. I dislike KLK, on top of it being super popular and clogged with shit. I just love her design and can't stand to see fatties with their bewbs out or saggy old bitches thinking they look good.

Are we long lost family, OP? I feel the same way with Satsuki. Except it has more to do with being born a condescending/constant glaring face Asian and seeing moe-faced girls cosplaying intimidating characters all the time.

I have like, 68 cosplays pinned down that I want to make and only a few of them are from things I have not yet read/watched/played. Getting there and judging it I want to go through with it or not at some point.

Only cosplay I can think of that's from a thing I don't like and have no intention of looking at anymore is Kyoko from Yuru Yuri.
I pained my way through 3 episodes and deleted it from my harddrive right after, it wasn't just not funny to me, it was just embarrassing with every fucking moe-slice of life-ecchi stereotype ever. I expected something ala Nichijou or Azumanga Daioh and was just so disappointed.

Maybe I'm just growing old.

In any case, I fucking adore the school uniforms to death and I liked Kyoko in the few episodes I saw. Still wondering if I can fake my way through it, but just the thought of saying "gonna cosplay this (... even though I hate it)" makes me feel so unclean and shitty.

Yuruyuri was supposed to kind of be a satire as far as I know. It's humor was in making fun of itself. I suggest watching Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka? though, it's got a similar feel as azumanga daioh and others.

Yeah, it was definitely satire, I could tell that much. I just didn't find it funny. Seen too many animes with girls grabbing other girls boobs, characters having nosebleeds over perverted thoughts.. Shit like that just makes me cringe when I see it in a show. From the screenshots I had seen, it looked so promising too, so it's just one big pile of disappointment for me.

She had the weapons and everything complete but to her credit, it really did look good. She looked like she was having more fun than Monty's girlfriend who was always with her.

On his facebook a while back he released the male bad guy's design with himself cosplaying and his girlfriend as the main bad girl which I thought was weird since nothing about his character had been released really? Maybe he just likes giving spoilers idk. I think he just favors cosplayers that give him notoriety but how long till Jessica Nigiri (who voices the main bad girl) cosplays her?

I never saw that, but that must've been strange. I think it's a little unfair that he leaks stuff like that to certain people.

Also i was kinda blown away when they chose to let Jnig voice Cinder, like i know RT likes her but shes not a voice actress and she's not all that good either.. Which kinda isn't saying much.

I wouldn't really mind seeing Jnig cosplay her though, i think if she actually put effort into it she would look good (but knowing her she either wont cosplay her, or will little to no effort into it). It's just her voice doesn't seem to fit her, like Cinder seems like she should have some sort of scary-sexy voice (i can't think of the word sorry, a bit scatter-brained atm).

Ugh I fucking hate it too. RWBY is ugly, shittily animated, with garbage voice acting and truly terrible fucking writing. How in the world such a hacky, talentless clusterfuck managed to get so popular I will never know. However, I do know Oum's girlfriend IRL and I can confirm that she is an elitist, frosty bitch who considers herself to be the "official" RWBY cosplayer be-all end-all. But I guess if you're sucking the creator's dick you end up having a high opinion of yourself. I haven't spoken to her in ages, pretty much since she moved to the States with him. Anything to get RT Money and E-fame, that one. ALL that being said though, a couple of RWBY outfits HAVE made me pause and look twice. I'd never cosplay it though. Way way too much shit associated with that trash heap.

God damnit, as someone who wants to be a VA this makes me sad. I know that RT always recorded in house so I think they wanted to get "regular" people in (this was before Jnig was announced) as it saved money, have the VAs always be nearby so its easy to work a schedule around them and maybe they thought that they would sound more "natural" and less actory.

Because they ONLY voice RT stuff and I wouldn't be surprised if they're approaching the script like "time to read these using this cool voice I have!" They hit the general emotions of the scene and can sound angry, sad, upbeat etc. The thing is I don't think they actually bother to get any extra training or fan out to other works to expand their knowledge, character roster and such. They also don't do much with "playing" with the script and just read things safe and don't add extra sounds, emphasize certain words or use other techniques to add texture and variety to what's said. I don't think that the VAs are bad its moreso the ones directing the VAs have no idea how good things can be and can't direct the actors properly to get the needed results.

If so, her Facebook is NyurtCosplay. Her Cinder looks good half the time when her wig/makeup isn't off in the photo, her Pyrrha is really cute!, and her Weiss is absurdly shooped in shoot photos but mediocre in hall shots.

Not sure if she's the one dating Monty, though, since she posted that they met for the first time at PAX Prime 2013.

>Cinder seems like she should have some sort of scary-sexy voice
I always imagined Cinder with a dark, smoky voice, and I've never heard JNig talk. It'll be so disappointing if Cinder opens her mouth and a bubbly, girlish voice comes out. Character design flaw on par with putting Idina Menzel's voice in Elsa's body.

He cannot handle criticism in the slightest. When RWBY first started airing people criticized the voice acting, the script, and all the clipping errors in the animation (especially with Yang's chest) and instead of either polishing the things he was getting criticized for or just ignoring them, he responded with petty temper tantrums about it, especially to the VA stuff since the VAs are his friends.

Likewise, someone made a fan blog on Tumblr and pretty clearly stated it wasn't an official blog, and he called upon the fan army to harass the person to take the blog down for pretending to be him. When someone pointed out that it was pretty obviously fan-run, he didn't apologize, just gave a half-assed backpedal response like they didn't make it clear enough or something.

It's all old news from /co/ threads when RWBY first came out so I don't remember exact quotes. I just remember reading through the threads and seeing screenshots of the drama and immediately solidifying my hate for him because he has such a massive and fragile ego.

There's also the fact that his talent:fanbase ratio is 0:1000 so he's like the Stephanie Meyer of web-series. He's good at character design and battle choreography, but that's where his talent ends.

>>7716163
I don't hate Queen's Blade since the first series was alright for something that was blatantly fanservice, compared to other series in its genre. I'm just sad that most of the characters have the same body type, or their designs would be too difficult to pull off without modifying them or wearing extra clothes (like Menace and Echidna).

Yeah, the game started out as a fangame that someone on twitter was constantly posting in the RTPodcast hashtag to get Monty's attention which, it worked.

At RTX Monty said they hired him on to do the RWBY game and their exhibit floor had a demo of it out to play with Yang being the second character released to play as.

>>7720553
I was first getting in to RWBY when I saw Monty get really hostile towards the person running the fan-based giveaway. I think even people from the company were telling him to just take a breather but it was probably that that made me really kind of paranoid of him especially at conventions.

I'm still angry about RWBY because the trailers were really, really fucking promising, particularly the first two. I was hyped as fuck from the minute I saw the first trailer, and as soon as I saw the first episode I just crumbled because it was so awful.

Anyway, staying on topic, the weeaboo shitbaby in me still wants to cosplay from Strawberry Panic. The dresses are just so bloody adorable and even though I don't like the series as much as I did before seeing Marimite, I still want to do a good Nagisa cosplay.

Touche and I agree but Monty probably didn't see it that way since he seems to jump the gun pretty quick with assumptions. Though even that could be said about the game trying to ride off his popularity.

All in all, he handled the fan-contest in poor taste.

As for staying on topic. My guilty pleasure is cosplaying characters that have died or would cause someone to double take, realize who I'm cosplaying and then feel sad because said character had a horrible death or died and had only been seen in flashbacks but was important to a main character.

Nope, I can confirm that she's Oum's irl girlfriend. She was actually ALREADY IN a relationship when she met Oum at Pax Prime, and made a big deal online about "Monty Oum is hitting on meeeeeeeee~" and put on a big show of how hard it was to be asked out by a "celebrity" when she was already "taken." She dumped her at-the-time boyfriend and got together with Monty immediately. In fact, I might not be 100% correct, but I heard that she had been kind-of seeing Monty even while she was still dating her old BF. This is from a mutual friend, so i trust it. She is only in the relationship for the fame/attention. She moved from Canada to the USA to live with him in less than like two months. Bitch is thirsty for internet fame. On top of everything else, she's just an unpleasant cunt. I've cosplayed with a larger group of people that she (used) to also be in for a long time now and she is just a controlling, demanding, stuck-up bitch. She talks shit about literally every cosplay she sees and laughs at people she doesn't think are as good as she is. That's why I got the fuck out and stopped cosplaying with them back in like 2010 or 2011.

Yeah I kind of gave up after the fourth or fifth Con in a row where she and another girl in the group (who I won't name, since this isn't about her) spent more time laughing behind their hands and making fun of EVERYONE who walked by us than actually interacting with our group. I had stopped cosplaying with them by the time they were doing Final Fantasy 0 but I ran in to her at a small summer Con and literally the only thing I heard her talking about was making fun of another girl who was cosplying the same character that she was. (Scythe or Syxth or something? She was just laughing at some poor sweet-looking pre-teen wearing the same character. That pissed me off)

Thank you! I was thinking of doing it for a convention but with Halloween coming up, might be good to test it for that. Not that trick-or-treaters will know the character (maybe?) but it'll be fun to test before hitting a convention floor.

>>7723818
Wow. That's horrible of her to do. Did Oum even know she was with someone else or did he just not seem to care?

They seem almost perfect for one another. They can inflate one and other's egos if anything else. He gives her fame, she supplies some T and A and they both call it a day. I really don't like how she seems to try to paint herself as the official cosplayer of RT. Does she really work for them or is she just always there with Oum?

As far as I know she doesn't actually do any RT work. She's in no videos or anything and she def does not work on rwby. If you go on to Oum's Facebook page you can see that he literally does nothing but talk about her and post photos of her and fawn over her damn near endlessly. It's a huge case of "he is WAY more in to her than she is in to him." I know that he knew she was already dating when he was asking her out, I guess he just doesn't care? She told everyone big whiney stories like "Oh guuuyyysss Monty keeps on messaging me even though I told him I'm not interested and I'm already dating Anon~" But I guess once she realized that Oum could make her some kind of lukewarm weeaboo semi-famous she dropped her old BF like a hot potato and flew to Texas without a second thought. Her old BF was such a nice guy, too. he and his family let her live with them when she was having family troubles, and earlier in the same year she dumped him he had paid out of his own pocket to fly the two of them to Japan for vacation just to take her there. She does nothing but talk shit about him now she's with Oum.

Better judgement would have told me to sage those posts since they're definitely not on topic any more. My bad, I'll sage this one. It's really up to you guys whether you believe me or not, so hey. Oum and rwby and stuff came up as a topic so I just threw in my firsthand experiences about the creator and his gf. I'm not making any of it up for sure (on her personal Facebook she still has pics of her trip to Japan up and I still occasionally see her ex-bf) but mostly she is just an unpleasant bitch that I'm glad I don't have to see any more. Thanks for the kudos for getting out when I did. I just couldn't stand how much of an outright cunt she and some of the other girls were. Like, not even being two-faced about it. Just blatant elitism and frostiness to people's faces. But oh well, it's not my problem any more. She and Oum can go have fun in entitled weeby paradise together forever.

To try to keep SLIGHTLY on topic for the thread, besides any rwby characters, I like quite a few Homestuck designs despite not wanting to assisiate myself with the bad part of the fandom in any way. I've also never played a Tohou game but a lot of the characters in 2u are really adorable.

That's utterly horrible. Majority of everyone else who is with RT seems to continuously thank and enjoy their fans even with the obnoxious yelling and meme spouting they did during RTX. Monty just never seemed to really enjoy or be completely grateful that it's the fans that made RWBY explode in to popularity.

Sheena needs to realize she's NOT the official RT cosplayer, too. I just really think they both need a reality check and to reevaluate their personalities before other people realize what horrible individuals they are.

It always gets to me when people criticize RWBY's voice acting for some reason. I mean, it's only really barely scraped the surface of the story so it's got a long ways to go, and obviously the voice acting will get better, as well as the animation and art, as shown in volume 2 already. And there are a lot of characters that are already voiced pretty well. You've just gotta give it time.

I don't hate Kyoukai no Kanata, but I thought it was mediocre, and I'm tempted to cosplay Mirai. I feel like I could pull her off well because I have her face shape and body type, plus I look good in glasses. The problem is that I try to only cosplay from series I'm really into, since I don't have the money to make more than a handful of costumes per year, so I want every one I make to be worth it. I'm trying to decide whether or not she should replace a character I like more, but suit less, in my plans for next year. Any thoughts?

I don't think so, you can use boob tape and all sorts of other things to give them push up tier lift without them being fake. It's just laziness on the part of the cosplayer to think they look sexy without giving it that extra.

I disagree. With RWBY he's really shining with his team on team or team vs 1 battles (ie giant scorpion monster thing) and is great with character placement and showing how everyone is contributing to the fight even when the focus isn't on them. Most of the time you see fights like this characters not on screen are just kinda in a an empty space doing nothing until the camera shows them. RWBY gives plasuible cause to why a character isn't in combat (setting up for a big attack, recovering, climbing, moving to a new position) and you can see this. It's a subtle detail that I really love
