Eh, I've done it before, and I don't find it a big deal. Plus, I had cosplayed as GLaDOS-tan and the con had the Orange Box running anyway.

Its very common and depending on the character instant win.

I've seen PotC before, jack sparrow or whatever.

Also, I'm betting there has been tons of Joker cosplay since TDK.

Cartoon cosplay doesn't seem that bad though.

Awesome

I generally don't mind it but the shitloads of BSed Jokers is getting ridiculous. That's not to say that all of them are horribly done, but some/most of them are.

The best kinds are the non-anniemay related

They are much more appeasing than animu ones and stand out more than "Hellsing clone number 53"

Win.

They're the best kind of cosplay

They show creativity and taste.

Ditto

They are always ALWAYS better than anemae cosplay. Merely for the fact that they are usually underdone at said animu con and stand out much more

Unless if you're TDK Joker or Rorschach.

>>1480657

I couldn't agree more

So I take it the general consesus is /co/ /v/ & /tv/ related cosplay > /a/ related cosplay?

>>1480670

You're just realizing this now?

Fucking.
AWesome.

I wish there was more of it.

Usually a big hit because it's not as common. If it's done well, what the heck.

>>1480627
I am amused that a lot of these pictures are from DragonCon and comic book cons...you're not exactly making a case, here....

My favorite kind

It makes me RAGE. However, I rage against the dying light, so what can I do?

>>1480627
Its ok a lot o non-animu cosplay of a anime convention but many non-animu cosplay... do not want!

I actually don't mind them all that much, it depends on the series and how well it's done.

>>1481075
OH MY FUCKIN GAWD!! ApproveApproveApprove!!!

>>1482020
May I be so bold as to ask who that character is in the nice stripped scarf?

Non-anime cosplay at anime conventions are best. Anime cosplay at anime conventions = super fail and OMFG NOBODY CARES YOU'RE THE 34875347534th PERSON TO COSPLAY THAT SHIT FUUUUUCK.

>>1482024

That's the Fourth Doctor from Doctor Who. The robot the Stormtrooper has the gun pointed at is a Cyberman from the same series. There's another incarnation of the Doctor next to the Fourth Doctor (scarf man) too--I believe it's Six.

>>1482024
someone is talking about my 7ft scarf, I can tell

>>1482036
>>1482034

That's it, I'm in love. I am going to watch whatever it is, and pray I like that character, because I am filled with overwhelming desire to knit that scarf.

Will be your best friend once you decide to start knitting.

>>1482048
Oh hellll yes, thank you!
I am in shock, that they change in each season.....I want them all O_O

>>1482044

With each season, his scarf grows as well. I'm pretty sure it gets up to like, what? 17 feet?

It's ridiculous and awesome.

I personally prefer the Fifth Doctor myself, but the Fourth Doctor is a "fan favorite".

>>1482050
Heehee, no problem! I'm currently knitting one myself. The first version. My family keeps making fun of me for knitting such a long scarf, and I'm just like "At least I'm not making the one that goes to his knees in the middle..."

>>1482054
Eight is my favorite, and the one I'm planning on cosplaying.

Why I'm making the scarf then I'll never know. I actually don't even LIKE Four that much. His teeth, they scare me.

I don't mind. As long as there are mostly anime and manga cosplayers, I do not mind at all.

Am I the only one who fucking hates non-anime shitty American cartoon cosplay at an Anime con?

>>1482065
Nope, I mind. I don't get it and I don't get why people do it
Anime. Con.
Anime.
Not American comic convention. It makes no sense to me.

hurrr i tayk namez litrly hurrr

Doctor: THIS IS SPARTAAA!

>>1482069
Some cons are only defined to be "anime" by the congoers and not the people running the con. I'm pretty sure A-kon is considered to be an "eclectic entertainment convention" rather than just anime, and other cons always offer more than just anime.

As far as I see it, it's nerds dressing up as characters. The more you subdivide it, the less relevant the categories become. I figure, American vidja can be cosplayed at conventions, why not American cartoons?

>>1482082
Listen to this man.

The idea of anime nerds raging at dem round eyes in their holy and sacred conventions strikes me as humorous.

>>1482081
I love you.

>>1482120
FUCK YOU WHITE AMERICAN PIGS. Only true asians should cosplay in the first place. Now you guys even cosplay non-asian non-anime characters at an ANIME convention, a convention made for ASIAN COSPLAYERS to cosplay ANIME characters.

I think it's actually kinda funny to throw them in the mix of anime/manga cosplayers. I was at ACEN '08 and amongst what seemed like endless L's (Jesus fucking Christ!!!) I saw the following NON-anime related cosplays:
-Mr T.
-Raptor Jesus.
-Pedobear
-Sandtrooper
-Iron man
-Old man Herbert from Family Guy
-The Venture Bros. (very accurate I might add)
-Sonic cosplayers...although that might qualify in Japanese culture at least.
-briefly saw (but did not photograph) Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
-and yes another fucking Jack Sparrow.
-and Daft Punk cp'ers, almost forgot them.

>>1482448
Fail troll. That fag always has an e-mail.

>>1482769
Thanks for noticing.

>>1482776

I only go to Anime Expo every year, but I love seeing non-anime stuff thrown in.
Come to think of it I still haven't actually done an anime character...I always do videogame characters or comic characters.

>>1480640
>>1481075

Oh, for fuck's sake. In this context, toku doesn't count as 'non-anime'. Anything Japanese will fly at an anime convention.
