All Things Obscure 2k16

Post by WaifuConnoisseur »

Since AB is coming up in about a month, I thought I'd make a post for all the cosplays which are too obscure, few and far between, and underappreciated. I'm going as Aurora from Child of Light - a fantastic Ubisoft game that I absolutely adore.

So, who else is cosplaying from an obscure game/anime/book that isn't big enough to warrant its own thread? Let's chat about it here~

2014: Link v2.0 (LoZ) - Princess Luna (MLP)
2015: Matoi Ryuko (Kill la Kill)
2016: Aurora (Child of Light)
2017: Lady Oscar (Rose of Versailles)
2018: DIO (JJBA)
2019: DIO 2.0 (JJBA) - DND stuff

Sunday I'll be going as Scarlet Benoit from The Lunar Chronicles. It's a popular series, but I haven't seen a ton of cosplays from it.

Not sure if Yandere Simulator has a large enough fanbase to have its own photoshoot yet but I'll be Osana Najimi if I can get her done in time, hopefully on Friday!

Ohhh, it's always great to see someone from YYH! I hope I get to see you~
I saw someone as Hiei last year and basically lost my grip on reality.

I'm bringing Yamamoto from Reborn, and my boyfriend is working on adult Reborn! We tried to set up a photoshoot of our own, but I don't think the following has enough steam to warrant its own group at the moment, so this would be fun!

Luigi - Luigi’s Mansion
Joker - Persona 5
Barnaby Brooks Jr. - Tiger and Bunny

I'm going as Red Core Rabbit from the band Steam Powered Giraffe on Saturday (I've only seen a few SPG cosplayers at AB) and Quidditch Player Draco Malfoy from Starkid's A Very Potter Sequel on Sunday.

Do we have a day of the week and time yet? Would like to attend, though not sure if I should wear my Yuri Kuma Arashi cosplay or my Aldnoah Zero cosplay. I'd love to bring my Full Moon wo Sagashite cosplay instead if I hadn't lost a part of it and since retired it...

By the way, are we just sharing our obscure cosplays with each other, or is this an actual meetup with photoshoot?
