Anonymous01/18/23, 00:22No.10830427FOTM cosplay predictions

Marin (and variations) and Yor were the obvious FOTM cosplays for last con season. What are your predictions for this year? My predictions: >Yor spillover from last year >a fuckton of Kobeni and Makima >Mitsuri from Demon Slayer (her arc comes out in spring) >Vash Stampede for guys

>Yor spillover from last year >a fuckton of Kobeni and Makima This is already / still the case. Makima was #1 most cosplayed character of Holiday Matsuri, Yor was #2

After the genshin impact anime. I bet it will be genshin impact.

At ALA I mostly saw a lot of Power cosplays/CSM cosplays and Genshin

I want to ask, are Love Live and Hero Academia peaks/plateaus over yet?

I saw maybe a single Marin where I live. Genshin and Demon Slayer both blew up way harder.

In the near future it will be Jigokuraku. Screenshot this

You see a lot of Chainsaw Man cosplays because it’s incredibly low-effort. There’s going to be a shit ton of wannabe goth girls dressed as Wednesday Addams wearing Demonias

Anon01/21/23, 06:32No.10831145

Along with what's previously mentioned, my big guess will be a lot of Bocchi the Rock! and half of them will carry inflatable guitars, AoT will still be around thanks to the two part final season, Konosuba will make a comeback due to the announcement of Season 3, and possibly some Gundam: The Witch From Mercury (or G-Witch as some people call it) since that garnered an entirely new fanbase of Gundam watchers.

Lum is gonna be up there, super easy and very little clothes

Anon01/21/23, 21:59No.10831259

Vtubers will probably keep growing in popularity as a cosplay topic, especially if stuff like what happened at ANYC happens at more cons. Bocchi is definitely gonna get a lot of cosplayers, but probably more fat meme crossplayers than anything.Stuff from this season probably won't get much attention, except for maybe a few trannies cosplaying Onimai and a few gym girls cosplaying Tomo-chan. Next season, however, might have a big impact on cosplay considering a lot of series with anticipated anime are getting adaptations. Jigokuraku, Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu, and Oshi no Ko may have an impact, but how the otaku community at large will be impacted by those anime adaptations is uncertain.Long distance forecast: With Bleach getting more attention given the anime finishing its final arcs, there will probably be an uptick in cosplayers for that series. Whenever Dungeon Meshi airs, I think you'll see a lot of people cosplaying the main gang from that, especially since they cover a wide range of body types. Genshin's anime probably won't have a visible effect on cosplay numbers considering how huge it is already.

Anon01/22/23, 01:28No.10831336

I also notice with a lot of Genshin cosplayers is that they love to cosplay as characters from the most recent released region. Cons finally started opening up in 2021 and there were so many Mondstadt and Liyue characters. In 2022 I saw a lot of Inazuma characters and I'm going to guess 2023 will be nothing but Sumeru characters, every girl who were Yae Miko or Raiden will now be Nilou and Dehya and every guy who were Zhongli and Itto are now going to be Alhaitham. So imagine a flavor of the month within a series.

Anon01/22/23, 23:38No.10831520

With the new holostars EN tempus I bet we'll see a lot of guys doing that. Hololive is already huge and now guys that don't wanna do drag and don't speak Japanese have something to go as

Dungeon Meshi might surge in popularity due to TRIGGER doing the anime But really, we won't know what the next FOTM will be since it'll come completely left field, unless it's a new season of an existing show/adaptation of a super-popular manga Not like anyone could've predicted Lycoris Recoil being a smash hit

Went to a con last month, my thoughts: >Trigun A bit skewed because the con had the director and producers as a guest, but there were TONS of Vashes and Wolfwoods to be seen. The series still seems to be gaining momentum. >Spy x Family This one's not going anywhere. It's easy to be a "cute couple", even able to coordinate your kid's cosplay, and they wear mostly "real" clothes that are comfortable and don't require a ton of makeup or accessories (I see Yors wearing her red sweater dress WAY more than the assassin gear). >Chainsaw Man The anime is very popular and the "black tie" costumes for the main cast make it dead simple to pull off. It's also been long enough that the community has really figured out how to make a helmet for CSM - seeing a cosplay with the head and arm saws used to be rare and attention-getting but now it's pretty commonplace. >Resident Evil You'd always see a couple Leons (RE2 or 4) at cons, seeing a bit of a resurgence with RE2 Remake and DBD, but with 4 coming out to really positive reviews I predict there are gonna be bunch of those guys. >Cyberpunk The anime was pretty popular, and I've seen cosplays of game-exclusive characters (V, Johnny) start to pop up again.

There will probably be some Dungeon Meshi cosplay this year, especially Marcille. But this summer we will also see an anime adaptation of Plus-Sized Elf / Elf-san wa Yaserarenai. I expect this to become a very popular cosplay for those on the chubby side. It's a very easy cosplay since it's just gym clothes. The only somewhat difficult part will be the ears and wig.

Have already seen some cos online since the op became a meme and the girls look pretty simple to do (seifuku + wig + ears/horns for some). Dungeon Meshi will probaly stay strong all summer. I just want the "gourmet" animes to end, they are becoming the new isekai.I really thought there would be more Bocchi this past year, judging off of how "just like me fr" Bocchi is supposed to be.

Demon Slayer had nowhere near the grabbing/staying power that I expected it to. Everyone went nuts for the first season yeah, particularly that one episode, but after that it just kind of fell off. No one actually talks about it/hypes over it and all of the "popularity" feels very artificial and more like marketing.

Anon07/17/24, 11:23No.10928832

Demon Slayer is still very popular. Maybe not always a full cosplay but it's very easy to buy a coat with the iconic pattern of one of the characters and wear that as casual clothes during the con.
