While Cosplaying, Waist Size Needs to be Considered

This time, the title DOES have something to do with the post. Well, the previous one was also related.

Anyway. This is just a random post.

Have you ever SEEN someone in the West trying to cosplay? They look TERRIBLE.

I mean, for one, they're usually totally out of shape. Those thin characters that they're trying to cosplay now suddenly look like bloated up puffer fish.

That makes me wanna hammer their heads for making me dislike the character just for 1 second.

Secondly, they don't even look ASIAN at all. Don't even talk about Japanese. If they even looked 1% Fillipino, that's really really much better than what most of them look like.

Lemme give you an example.

Okay. The one in the Middle is a cosplaying a GIRL called Fujioka Haruhi. The blondie at your right is an emotional GUY called Suou Tamaki. The black haired on the left with a pair of glasses in his hands is a GUY called Kyouya (I forgot his surname).

Now this picture. From your left: Kyouya, Kaoru, Haruhi (OH MY GOODNESS, SO UGLY), Tamaki, Hani, Hikaru, and Mori (OMG. He smiles).

Ugh. They all look like idiots, ‘cept for Kyouya… somehow I have a feeling all of them are girls excluding Mori…either that or very feminine guys with a kinky interest in romance mangas which rotates around reverse harems (meaning lots and lots of bishies [good looking guys] in the manga).

This is what the original Ouran Host Club looks like.

From the back and also right to left: New found manager whose name I forgot (The girl in green), Kyouya (Guy in white), Mori (Guy with brown hair in black shirt), Tamaki (Guy with red fan), Hani (Actually a 17 year old buy looks very kiddish), Hikaru (Guy with cat ears), Haruhi (Girl with brown hair, probably a wig), Kaoru (Guy with mouse ears).

Compare. Frankly speaking, I much prefer the anime version thank you, but if I were to pick my favourite cosplayer, it’ll be this one.

Really looks like…but of course. The cosplayer’s Asian, I think. And I’m also thinking the cosplayer’s a girl.

There are 2 kinds of eyes in Asia. The big ones and the squinty ones. The squinty eyes only fit Kyouya and Mori. Maybe a little on Hikaru and Kaoru. The big ones should go for almost everybody else, especially Hani, but Haruhi should have them too.

Anyway, there are other cooler people to cosplay. Like Hibari (from Kate(i)kyou Hitman Reborn!), for example.

Or this.

Both images are good. I’ll pick out the original Hibari from the manga later.

And there’s always people who try to cosplay Allen from D.Gray-Man.

And this one.

You can tell which one I prefer.

The original character:

See? So big a difference. Anyway, Allen’s actually English, not Japanese or some other Asian. But somehow Asians cosplay better for mangas…

This is a cosplay for (from left to right): Allen Walker, Lenalee Lee, Lavi, Kanda Yuu.

I think Kanda’s cosplayer is pretty good, but not angry enough. This is what the original Kanda looks like.

This is Lavi. The short old man by his side is his would-be predecessor, Bookman (really, that’s his name…and also his title).

Lenalee.

Kid on the left is Allen. Lenalee’s the girl with black hair. I’m doing this post during a period with no internet (or rather, the connection is cut off by my dad), so I’ll have to make do with whatever pictures I have on my computer (that I stole from elsewhere).

Some of them are there just for kicks. Like the cosplayers from the West (or something).

And…oh look. Here are some people aiming to destroy my image of both Ciel and Sebestian (from Kuroshitsuji). Or maybe they're just trying to get me to lose my dinner...

They’re trying to recreate this scene but failing terribly…for one, their curtains are both in the wrong place and have a wrong colour.

I know it’s pretty small, but make do with it. Sebestian is the butler of Ciel. Ciel is the one dressed in crimson, Sebestian in black.

The cosplayers looked like they binged before taking the shot. They need to watch their diet. They look so much chubbier (and less appealing) than the originals…

They’re also out of proportion. Sebestian is supposed to be much taller than Ciel. And both of them are supposed to be skinny…

Found it. This is Hibari Kyouya. Though it’s not taken from the manga, it does bear a completely striking resemblance to the original artwork.

Hibari is a cool character who acts like he lives in a dog eat dog world...
