Cosplay Ideas For The Upcoming Anime Con

Cosplay stands for costume play and is an art many hold dear to their hearts. A form of performance art that has deep roots in Japan and started in the 1990s. However, it has garnered immense popularity over the past three decades worldwide.

Cosplay is a broader term and usually includes people dressing up as popular characters from their favorite books, movies, and shows. Anime cosplay is a sub-branch of it and carries a massive number of followers from all around the world, especially from Japan, parts of Europe, and the USA.

Several conventions are being held in June all around the United States, and the `cosplayers` are eager to steal the show with their efforts, but to do so, you will need a costume that`s a show stealer and accurate to every detail. 

Regardless of what sex, ethnicity, gender, age, or body type you have, cosplay provides you a chance to become part of a more significant community. Nonetheless, people who are die-hard fans might be struggling with their costume options. In this guide, we have included ten of the most popular choices from the best of anime, the amount of work it will require, and where you can fetch the items.

Fullmetal Alchemist

Two sons (Edward and Alphonse Elric) use the forbidden alchemy to revive their mom from the dead, and in doing so, one loses their entire body while the other one loses an arm and a leg. Both the brothers struggle to restore their bodies to their original condition, even if it means making enemies along the way and using more of the forbidden alchemy.

Edward 

As A double amputee, to complete the Edward cosplay, you would need a blonde wig, an entire metal arm, and a whole costume including the boots depicting Edward Elric`s aura. While the costume is easy to put together, it can get a bit pricey considering the elements involved in the cosplay of the popular character.

Winry Rockwell

 A Teenage mechanic plays a supporting role in the anime and spends enormous amounts of time with the central character (i.e., brothers) helping them. In order to pull this off, you will need a headscarf, and you can either dye your hair blonde or opt for a blonde wig and its signature costume, i.e., Lavender pants and chest wrap. The cosplay is relatively easier to pull off than other ideas mentioned on the list.

One Punch Man 

One punch man is an anime show that most anime lovers have watched at some point in their anime journey. Even the more minor characters have great ensembles and cool designs. 

Demon Cyborg

Demon Cyborg or Genos is a disciple of one punch man, gunning to be more powerful. The ensemble calls for laser yellow eyes, a neck-to-arm full-body metal suit, tank top, belts, boots, and pants. Unfortunately, there are a lot of details when it comes to famous characters, and it is going to require a lot of work on your end to pull it off completely.

DO-S 

The character depicts a sadist personality in the show, and the whole attire revolves around a BDSM revealing outfit made of tight straps which are held by metal rings. The straps connect at her belly button and right above the chest. The establishment is challenging to create at home, but the whole costume can be purchased at EZ cosplay, correct to small details. The only thing else you would require is a pink heart on your head to pull off the monster princess costume.  

Attack on Titan

Two thousand years in the future, the human race is on the verge of extinction, and humans, in order to survive, have built walls that are even taller than the titans. The walls have managed to keep the titans for long, but the walls are not going to last forever. Therefore, the Titans are yet to make a comeback. Famous anime have most characters wearing army uniforms which is why it is relatively more accessible than many of the popular entries in the list.  

Levi Ackerman

The captain of the survey corps is often referred to as the strongest soldier alive in the popular manga series. Levi features straight black hair, sharp blue eyes, and is a little person (short body). In order to look like Levi Ackerman, there are multiple ways you can go about it. The costume can be put together with an olive green long coat, a black crew neck, light gray colored chinos, and brown shoes. However, the military outfit is a bit difficult to create at home but available with every detail correct to the very nooks at ezcosplay. i.e. shirt, pants, coat, cloak, scarf, straps*2, belt, and apron.

Olivier Armstrong

The primary heir to the Armstrong family, Olivier Mira Armstrong, has a fear-worthy and commanding presence in the show. In order to create the cosplay, you might need to curl the end of your high-waisted blonde wig and cover the parts of your face with hair. The uniform can be purchased from a cosplay store called ezcosplay, which includes underwear, coat, Clark, pants, gloves, apron, and knee-length boots.

The anime con is less than a week away now. If you have not already started on one, the odds are that completing an anime ensemble is going to be complicated. Better yet, get it shipped from the best cosplay costume. But costumes are not going to be enough if you are looking to get the perfect look. It will require hours of makeup and styling your wigs like the character you are aiming to go as, so before you head to the convention, you might need to work on these skills. These cosplays are easier to pull off, especially for a beginner in the world of cosplays. Nevertheless, if you have been doing cosplays for a while now and have a better handle on all the involved skills, trying out more complicated outfit ideas will draw the crowd`s attention.
