Shimakazes outfit isn't practical at all but looks so good. Can't wait for the KanColle anime this year

Yes, I'm a million years old, and remember when they all dressed like Chun Li and Felicia.
![]() At least I still recognize Hatsune Miku at #4. |

In my one experience at Comiket, there were barely any men in cosplay, but tons and tons of girls in cosplay of popular female characters. Not sure if thats the norm or just my own experience, but that would explain these sales. |

Well, you knew that AoT would be up there. But I want to see some little kiddies wearing the gear.

Even if you don't think it's "too gay", it's just a fact of life that girls can cosplay and look the part, guys just can't. ![]() It's true at Disneyland, too. |

^ Hahaha Sailor Bubba
On a similar note: "Japanese men reveal the costumes they want their girlfriends to wear"
That should explain some of where those Top 10 cosplay outfita go. ![]() |

(Well, was referring more to everybody's old wedding pictures, where the bride always looks perfect and ethereal in her dress, and the groom always looks like a dork somebody stuck in a tuxedo five minutes before the shot and the cameraman caught him off guard.

In the old days, you knew a character by their costume and/or hairstyle-- If a cosplayer wore a tigerskin bikini, it wasn't hard to guess which character they were playing, and you couldn't mistake Card Captor Sakura's school uniforms for anyone else's. And while there are core AoT fans who like the jacket (I still gotta CR that show sometime...), think it's more an example of Japanese girls who just happened to want to wear the same school uniform as the Certain Index school did. US fans don't have school-branded uniforms, so we're just focused on playing the character we like for the dress-up acting challenge of it.
A local high school teacher suddenly arrived on the scene to agree with the sentiment, adding only "....HIGH SCHOOL UNIFORMS!!!!!!", without further comment, before being quickly ushered out of the scene by two high-school girls and a fourth-grader in pigtails. ![]() |
