Who cosplays better Girls or Guys?!
| Just came to me i've notice that alot of the cosplayers are mostly girls and that are really good i've seen a couple of girls too but i want to make sure for good which one is better tell me know people ^-^; If you have a pictures to prove it more power/fun to you!? |
| I love it when guys cosplay. Guys are usually WAY good at it, especially if they put alot of time into their costume. Girls cosplay alot cause they have the artsy craft womanly factor on their side, but there are some characters that girls just cant pull off, and thats where guys with FABULOUS costumes come in and steal the spotlight! |

| hmm if i have to choose which one i want to see in cossplay i think its obviously XD since i am a guyXD imo girls can attract me more so i voted that girls are better in cosplaying ^^ |

| I think gender has nothing to do with being a good cosplayer ._. As long as you put in the effort to research on the character, make the costume, props, wig/hairdo, you can be a good cosplayer whether you are a guy or girl. |

Ya it just have to show how well you do on it xP. but i find it that girls do better at times cause they like dressing up lmao! |
| The best cosplayer I have seen so far was a girl, but there are lots of really good guys too. |

mickal555 said: I've seen to many cosplays which makes my eyes bleed... Yes i noe T-T |
| just noticed this thread, doesn't need to be in spam heh *moves to anime discussion* |
| The only reason why you would think females make better cosplayers is because almost all female anime characters are thin and slender (note I said almost, there are fat / muscular characters out there) and a lot of male ones are also thin and slender (and too feminine). So thus, they are often better off portrayed by women still. But yeah, plenty of guys can cosplay just as good. I just noticed the dates. No wonder I never saw this thread. It was in spam. Hahaha. |
| Girls are better at cosplaying!!! |
| I'm no expert on cosplaying, but from what I've seen, girls and guys are both very good at it! I'm very disappointed that I've never seen a guy cosplaying as Shinji from NGE :( |
| I dunno, I attend Sakura-con in Seattle every year, and the ratio of male to female cosplayers seems to be pretty close. And despite the fact that females are supposed to be more 'artsy', I've seen a ton of GENIUS costumes that are more built than sewn on men. ^_^ There's always at least one gundam, and someone cosplayed the Rahxephon mecha last year! It was awesome! As for Shinji cosplay, I always see several guys cosplaying him. The problem with Shinji is that no one does the plug suit, and the school uniform isn't easily recognized unless you're in an NGE group. ^.~ |

Indeed, I agree with you |

| lol, I don't cosplay, in fact, I don't really even understand it's appeal. That being said....who cares. @_@ |
 |
| I dont know of many dark skinned male chars that are in animes i was just curious if you guys know of any? |
 |
| Me beeing a guy i've pulled my hair alot of times when i want to cosplay just because girl charackters are the only one who have cool costumes. I really wish I were a girl sometimes because of it. Though it's really funny to cosplay when i can make appropriate costumes. |
 My dear weak spacenoids. THAT LEVEL OF LOVE CAN'T BREAK MY BODY OF STEEL! |
| It's for both! Though it scares me a bit when females are my favourite male characters. They're supposed to be guys I fantasize about and I don't want them to be girls in the reality... gah xD |

Hahaha. |
| i love it when guys cosplay as well. at animenext there as a hispanic guy who cosplayed as cloud, and he as SUCH a good cloud. he had the outfit done PERFECTLY. (he was also really good at manhunt haha) in general i guess i tend to be more impressed by just awesome cosplays in general. its just more rare to find an awesome guy cosplay, and somewhat easier to find an awesome girl cosplay. |
| Sometimes a guy can get away with cosplaying a girl but it's rather scary when he doesn't shave. |
| Both. Girls cosplay while the guys take pictures of them. XD Both are fine, as long as the guys leave the crossdressing to the girls. I saw a lot of guys cosplaying as girl characters, and it's not pretty. |
| ^_^ |
Gender doesn't really matter in cosplay to me, as long as it looks good. My kind of cosplay gender isn't really a big issue, See below  |
| ^Agreed. There are some amazing guy cosplayers, and some amazing girl cosplayers. So gender doesn't count. |
 |
| Yeah Awesome picture. i think cosplay i wicked cool but its a hefty responsibility. i think girls are more fetishized thats why it has a bad rep. if your a guy you get girls exited. i dont know haven't been to alot of conventions but cute girls dressed as princess tutu defiantly get my vote but people dressed as GUYVER!!! and others cool too. not alot of characters like that for girls except maybe Genocyber but that character is way PSYCHO. PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE CHARACTER!!!! |

Actually by gender doesn't matter I was referring to that even Girls still can play the part of a guy character and make it look good   I also have a female Dekamaster/SPD Shadow Ranger girl (the guy in my previous post on the right side), the armor is made by the same guy (AnxJapan on Ebay, Aniki and Aniking elsewhere) so you can't really tell its a girl inside. Actually the pic in my previous post wasn't really meant for cosplay, just Aniki was advertising some of his recently completed suits (the Dekamaster was just updated to be more show accurate). Those suits are EXPENSIVE btw, just for a standard Ranger suit by Aniki it could cost up to $550, and its not even show accurate (Show accuracy usually breaks the $1,200 mark). The suit could cost about $150-250 just for lycra spandex, a Rider suit would cost more due to the Armor, lamb skin gloves cost about $120, same goes for the boots. The helmet could range from $200 to $550 depending on type/accuracy/maker, all the little extras (Belt, Weapons, Shield, Glove wraps) could total up to $170-$200. |
| can you give me his web address and how much it would cost to make a GUYVER!!! suit i did start but it was just overwhelming the set up costs just to make molds big enough are phenomenal. |

shinkoukistar said: can you give me his web address and how much it would cost to make a GUYVER!!! suit i did start but it was just overwhelming the set up costs just to make molds big enough are phenomenal. He doesn't make Guyver yet, currently he is busy with MMPR Black Ranger/Mammoth Ranger, Shurikenger/Green Samurai Ranger, and GekiViolet. However theres plenty of Guyver suit creators on ebay, since its a rather common for full suit creators. Besides it'll probably cost around $1500. Aniki just started his website, he used to use Ebay under the name AnxJapan, but paypal went retarded and blocked him from his own account for a stupid reason, afterwards he just sold his suits on Rangerboard. His site is actually pretty damn empty as of right now, he's missing alot of pics for suits he already took pics of on his site. http://www.herocosplay.com/index.php |
| Cosplay has nothing to with gender at all. I cosplay and im a guy my bestfriend cosplays and shes pretty good at it. |
 |
| both, a boy can be better then a girls and a girl can be better then a boy and both can be equal |
 |
| You know I really can't say some are better then others. Because I've been to conventions where the costumes are just FANTASTIC, and usually they're of both genders. Though I have seen more fantastic costumes on girls, but I think that's just because a lot of the guys at the convention I went to were lazy. I myself have cosplayed several times, okay three but I haven't been to that many conventions. I got no complaints but then again I put a little effort into my costume... And I had a sign on the back that said "Will Yaoi for fangirls who glomp" .... So I suppose I can't really be sure :P |
I hate World of Warcraft      |
| anyone can cosplay, it just happens that a chuck of male characters in animes are somewhat feminine looking, and itd be easier to pull off if you are a girl. |
 |
| Cosplaying is for people who look like the characters they are supposed to look like lol. So yeah as always just do what you like.(although i like girls more since they are generally better dressed in anime :P) |
 |
| Both are equally good. It's just a matter of acting and decent clothes. 'Nuff said. |
 |
| I enjoy seeing more male coslayers just because there is usually an overwhelming majority of girls doing it @.@ but i have seen amazing costumes pulled off from either one although girls usually do a better job of crossplaying ~ so my statistics could be wrong XD |
 |
| Girls are better at it.But guys are ok too.As long as they do the same gender. |
 Kittens..arrr! |
| I think that it is more common to see female than male cosplayers because sewing is typically thought of as a feminine hobby. I remember Cosplay.com's male members mentioning that they often receive strange looks when they are in fabric stores before even bringing up that their project is cosplay. It's a rather unfair thing because I would personally enjoy seeing more male cosplayers. Skill is an individual ability and it has nothing to do with gender, or race, for that matter. |
| girls look better than boys when cosplaying but it is for both of them. |
| either. girls just look better cosplaying female characters imo |
 |
| i cosplay from time to time mosty ones that take not too much effort,eg laguna,sqaull,irvine,various zoid chars my dream is to cosplay of gattsu |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |
Absurdia said: Girls are better at it.But guys are ok too.As long as they do the same gender. Girls are better at cosplay? It depends on the person not the gender little kid, In reality there are much more horrible female cosplays than male, yet there are a lot of great female cosplayers at the same time. Should I bring up examples of the thousands of horrible female cosplayers? |
