This will be my first time I am cosplaying. I am lost because there are so many anime series out there and I can't decide on what to cosplay. I will be attending Anime USA and NekoCon X this year and luckily they are both in November. Please help!!!

I have included pictures of myself.

Umm, I don't know what series you like, or if you'd rather cosplay a girl or guy, but here's some random thoughts off the top of my head...

Fuu (Samurai Champloo)
Kazuki (Get Backers)
Fuji (Prince of Tennis)
Yuya Shiina (Samurai Deeper Kyo)
Wolfram (Kyo Kara Maoh)

I'm sure you could pull off a great variety of characters ^^

Miaka from Fushigi Yugi http://www.dybex.com/catalogue/small/30 ... gi_OAV.jpg

Shizune from Naruto.

Fuu from Samurai Champloo looks like a fun character to cosplay as well as Miaka from Fushigi Yugi. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

I think Fuu is the best one of the two thus far. Are there any more suggestions?

This one doesn't look too hard to cosplay. I can buy a blonde wig and I also need the ears as well. :D

Princess Zelda is also an elf character too.

True so is Link-san. And anyone daunting the Elf ears.

I wouldn't mind cosplaying as Sailor Jupiter since one of my favorite animes is Sailor Moon.

It's kinda hard deciding between Fuu (Samurai Champloo), Miaka (Fushigi Yugi), Deedlit (Record of Lodoss War) and Sailor Jupiter (Sailor Moon).

Id say Jupiter wouldbe good. But hmm...would you still want to leave the convention as jupiter or have a back up like say Miaka. Since their outfits are similar but Miaka has a kimono like Fuu.

I think I am going to cosplay as Sailor Jupiter. Is it hard to make or is it easier to just buy the outfit?

All Sailor Scout Uniforms require (or at least should require) spandex, or some other type of dance wear material. If you have enough motivation, and time to commit to heavy drinking before tackling the task, then go for it. But just be warned that the satin in the skirt slips and slides a lot while you're pinning it, and the stretch material for the bodice and gloves is notorious for jamming sewing machines.

Heh, I'm currently cosplaying Sailor Jupiter myself. ^^ The other thing I had trouble with was her boots. You'd think you'd find them on eBay somewhere, but... surprisingly, you won't.

Did I mention how cute your avie was? Bah! Off subject! XD

I plan on someone making it for me. I never made a costume before and I don't want to mess it up.

I am going to go as Kino Makoto in her Sailor Jupiter costume as well as her school uniform.

I like her best because she is the best cooker besides that one guy she met in the anime.

I can cook as well. The only difference between me and Sailor Jupiter is that she is taller.

I'm like 5'3. I can't recall how tall Lita is. Is Jupiter a bad choice then?

I got an e-mail stating that my Sailor Jupiter outfit and the school uniform that Makoto wears are shipping. :D

I need another costume. I can't decide on these characters: Karin from Kamichama Karin, Kahlua Marjoram or Apricot Sakuraba from Galaxy Angel Rune, or Milfeulle Sakuraba from Galaxy Angel?

Do you all think any of these characters are good or can you guys think of new ones?

I knew i forgot to post something here... These cosplay ideas you have here are good...I would pick the last three. Karin sounds good but theres something...different. but she could be a nice idea though.

I need help figuring out a good costume for me.
