Cosplay Line-up: Part 2???
It's been like three days since I posted my last cosplay line-up and guess what? It's already expanded! I did say it was subject to change so you really should have expected this.
Anyways! In addition to Kotetsu and Atsushi, I have added two definite cosplays and a tentative third one. I have also decided to wear Kotetsu's cosplay for next Anime Boston but I am still unsure of when i'll wear Atsushi's cosplay. I don't know, I'll have to work it out with my cosplay buddy.
Kaworu Nagisa from Evangelion
Yep. I'm totally getting the angel wings for his costume too - if only to make people cry hehe. I'm really excited to cosplay Kaworu. I mean, he's basically gay space Jesus (don't question it) and his personality is so much fun. He reminds me a lot of Clear from DMMD and I had a lot of fun as Clear. Kaworu's cosplay should be fairly easy and I don't think that it will cost much at all. The only thing that would cost a lot would be colored contacts for his red eyes but I am still uncertain about getting colored contacts as I have heard MANY horror stories about them. I am hoping to cosplay Kaworu at next year's Queen City Kamikaze with my cosplay buddy going as Kaworu's boyfriend, Shinji.
Makoto Tachibana from Free! Iwatobi Swim Club
I've always loved Mako so I figured that his cosplay would make my list sooner or later. Mako's the mom friend (aka Mamakoto) of his group and I can totally relate to him. He's super caring and super sweet but can get really intense and competitive during races. His cosplay shouldn't be too hard to do as the only expensive things I need to buy would be the Iwatobi Swim Club jacket (the one he's wearing in the gif) and his wig. I'm not sure when I'll cosplay this kid but I'm hoping for the Friday of next Anime Boston.
En Yufuin from Cute High Earth Defense Club Love! (Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouie Bu Love, or BKCBL)
Okay, so here's the tentative third cosplay I mentioned earlier. I haven't finished BKCBL but I plan to over the Summer. En is my absolute favorite character so far and he seems really interesting to cosplay. I love his costume (the white and blue one) and his personality is unlike any character I've cosplayed before. He's not outgoing or cute or shy. He's blunt and quiet - and I love it. The problem is that 1. my cosplay body isn't interested in BKCBL, and 2. his costume is super elaborate and will probably be super expensive. Gah, I really want to cosplay him though! I haven't really seen anyone cosplay from BKCBL and I know BKCBL has a large following so I know his cosplay would go over super well. Sigh.
Ah, I have a lot of stuff to do - and a lot more thinking and planning to do. I am really excited about all of these cosplays and I really hope that they all turn out well. As always - expect updates and changes in the future!
