Cosplaying dilemma!

[Nobu]

I've already decided i'm going to commit cosplayer sacrilege and buy a costume, so bear with me.  www.cosplayfu.com seems to have really reasonable prices, I've had positive referrals from a couple of sources, and they have good policies (free shipping and costume completely made within ~10 days, woo!).

I've mostly narrowed it down to Nitori or Sanae. Both costumes have their pros and cons, and Nitori is winning out in that respect (ease of finding a wig + pockets! + ability to wear goggles and carry a wrench + liking her more). But I feel like I *could* still be swayed. I have to decide soon though, since the next con is a little over a month away. :ohdear:


Feel free to derail this into general cosplaying discussion if my dilemma doesn't interest you. :V

[Janitor Morgan]

Nitori, definitely.

[Moerin]

I've already said it before, but I think you'd look really good as Nue. >.>

Out of those two, though... Um... Nitori.  Because twintails. >.>

[Letty Whiterock]

That Nitori costume isn't very good. The Sanae is better.

[Alfred F. Jones]

Sanae, because it's Sanae.

[theshirn]

Nitori, because it's not Sanae.  Although a) Letty's right, the Sanae costume is in fact quite a bit better, and b) holy crap cosplaying is such a racket.

[Drake]

The Nitori outfit definitely needs some fluffing up, but all-in-all I would def go with Nitori. You just might need to do some work to make it really good.

Also this gives you the ability to bring an Exteeeeeeeeeeeee





eeeeeeeeending Arm.

[Ryuu]

Nitori costume could definitely use some puffing up and more pockets but I voted for Nitori because no one ever cosplays Nitori.

[Lloyd Dunamis]

I wanna see Nobu a Sanae >w<

[Letty Whiterock]

I think you should be Nazrin. Why? #becauseimnazrin

[HakureiSM]

I dunno, I liked the Nitori cosplay.
Could use some extra pockets of course, but it's cute :3

also don't whore yourself out for attention like that green miko

[Nobu]

RE: costume quality - Huh, I actually thought the Nitori costume was pretty well made. I see the criticism about the pockets though. It might be a bit extra, but I could probably request a couple of extra pockets and have it moved closer to the hem. I was already planning on replacing the key too if I went with that costume.

RE: Nazrin - I don't think i'd make a very good Nazrin, and the one example they have on the site isn't very good looking :<

RE: SANAE - Biggest setback honestly is not seeing an good wig (and having to make the frog and snake props myself, though that wouldn't be immensely hard). I suppose I could just find a good CC wig or something though. Hrmm..

The Nitori outfit definitely needs some fluffing up, but all-in-all I would def go with Nitori. You just might need to do some work to make it really good.

I figured I could wear a petticoat or whatever it is they wear to fluff up skirts if it came down to it. And yeah, Nitori has perks because of the potential for mad props :3c

[Gpop]

Man I like both

How about Koishi? Come on be Koishi~. It would make me ha- *shot*

I mean...uh...I can't choose >.<

[theshirn]

How about Koishi? Come on be Koishi~.

[Ryuu]

If you cosplay Koishi, you get to wear an awesome hat.

[HakureiSM]

Nobu wouldn't do a good Koishi, though :V

[Alice★f]

Sanae

Spoiler:

Miko fetish

[Tengukami]

Nitori, no question. Science always beats religion.

[Matsuri]

Sanae, because it's Sanae.

Yeah, pretty much this.

Besides, the Nitori costume is pretty meh.

After seeing all of Ruro's cosplay pics, I'm starting to feel more and more inclined to try it myself sometime. I'm thinking Shikieiki, Naoto (reverse reverse trap? :3 ), Minato, or Myouren (only if I have a Byakuren to go with, though )

It kind of sounds like fun. :3

[Moerin]

...Not hearing any objections to Nue... I mean, you wouldn't even need to buy a wig!  Also thigh highs~♥ >.>

...It's probably bad that I spent a while browsing that site for something to cosplay before I realised I have nowhere to actually cosplay, let alone any idea of what I'd actually look good as.  Sigh.

[Ryuu]

It kind of sounds like fun. :3

cosplaying is very fun and you should totally do it.

[Matsuri]

I must have missed this. Nobu, you should totally cosplay Nue. Post thighhigh pics. :3

I'll have to try it sometime.

[Gpop]

YES, THAT'S A PLUS.

High-thighs are also optional, but recommended because <3  :*

I agree with this poster. Be the nue.

[HakureiSM]

I still firmly believe I'd do an excellent ManReimu, but nowhere to cosplay, no irl friend support, no money either.

T_T

[Nobu]

I actually thought about Koishi for a little bit, but seeing as I'd probably have to make the costume myself it doesn't really work. :< (Haha, I actually thought of you when considering it too, Gpop Hartmanco)

RE Nue: But i'm like 5'9" and i'm not very slender so I don't know if I'd actually look very good, fantasies aside. And if I wore heels to make my legs look longer (which is a must if I was going to properly rock the zettai ryouiki), i'd be practically 6 feet. @_@; And the props are a whole other story, but I guess that'd be compensated by the fact that I wouldn't need a wig. (Especially with my new haircut, which is essentially a Nue cut.) Though, the costume they have on the site isn't too bad... hrm..

Dammit, why am I actually considering this now? >_<


RE Matsy: If you cosplay Minato i'll cosplay Ryoji. :3 (And Ruro would have to cosplay the female protagonist.)

[Matsuri]

do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it

Naoto seems less common, though. Hmmm.

<Nobu> Do both

[Moerin]

I'm not complaining about it, but there were like 50k Naotos at Otakon.

[Slaves]

what happened to dressing up as ijiyatsu slaves?
