Hey /cgl/, new to cosplaying.

Are conventions strictly weeb stuff or can you dress up as western characters?

Would I look like an idiot going to an anime convention dressed up as the guy from Drive?

>> No.7751151

Yes
Conventions are anime themed or comic themed. Dressing as a character from a random movie, mostly likely no one will realize you're "cosplaying" at all. It's pretty common to see people dressed as western characters, but usually still animated characters.

Why anime? I want to dress up as cool people, not fucking cartoon characters

Then why are you going to an anime convention? Go to a pop culture/media convention instead. You get to dress up as a movie character and spend time with people of similar interests. An anime convention would just be a wasted weekend for you.

B-but the Drive costume is iconic, and as an introvert I could really relate to the main character.

Please take your man hating back to tumblr, please.

You're right, I should just stay a kissless virgin loser my entire life.

I'm 20 years old, might as well just kill myself now since i'm not good enough for a woman.

Fuck these kids go as drive as you want.

Tons of superheroes at these anime cons and they are fine.

I just think you should pick something more distinguishable than that drive costume but maybe you look a shit ton like gosling who knows.

This. I pretty much only go to anime cons, because they're the only thing they have around here. Last time I cosplayed as an anime character was in 2012 I think. For me it's usually game characters or western TV series.

Going to an anime con and being an elitist shit head you are clearly doing things right lmao. Anime cons have insanely dumb shit in general lets be real even the Japanese prefer manga over anime SMD.

Unless the character is pretty iconic (i.e. : Doctor Who, Indiana Jones, etc.), you're probably going to appear as some random, non-cosplaying attendee.

Not sure how much of thread is just trolling anymore.

You can dress up as whatever, but you'd have better luck at a comic con.
Not many people are going to know who you are, and a number of them might not even realize you're cosplaying.
Very different media focus and age demographic between comic and anime cons.

Just don't post your Drive costume to /fa/, or they're going to spit out their drinks laughing at you, and add you to this collage.

I say go for it, some people do what you do, I just hope you're at LEAST into some sort of anime
>I want to dress up as cool people, not fucking cartoon characters
>cool people
>drive
On the other hand why would you want to be around a bunch of fucking cartoon characters?
Oh wait you probably want to show off, go ahead, its probably not gonna look that good.

Also the movie was shit.
