WHO ARE YOU COSPLAYING AS? ( MINOR-ANIME COSPLAY)
I'm currently working on a cosplay costume of Lytia from a light novel series called "Kouen no Wizard (Wizard of flame light)"
It is not really known in the US since its not translated, its novel series, and not out in comics.
But I love this series and the outfit is so cute, so I planned to make this costume.
Last year, my friend did Kyuzo, a character from Samurai 7. This is more known anime series, but still only 2 people pointed out that she is Kyuzo.
Any of you planning to do a cosplay of a character from not really known anime or series, but still, you love it so much that you are gonna cosplay as?
A few potentials. Lloyd from Tegami Bachi or Higuchi from Majin Tantei Nogami Neuro are probably the only ones I'm considering doing for this paticular con though. Alot of excellent and not well known series, if only the general fandoms at large would care to expand their horizens a bit.

I've seen Majin tantei Nougami Neuro. I like that series. I still havent finished watching all episodes, though.
But, yea, they should really open up their views! there is so much out there which is as good as the popular ones right now!
Two words: JUUNI KOKKI. Terribly awesome and thoroughly underloved series. I did it for AX this year, and will be bringing it to Kumoricon and next year's Sakuracon before Fanime. Not sure if I'll have formal-wear Risai (the more recognisable anime version) or the version from the yet-untranslated novel cover -- hopefully the latter -- but I love the show and the cosplay too much not to wear it.
Plus, I know that there will be at least one other Juuni Kokki cosplayer there, as Kimu does a lovely Sairin (which she wore this year).
I think that's about as obscure, anime-wise, as I'll be getting. My sister and I have plans for cos that borders between jpop and anime, but that's neither here nor there.
If i can fit it into my cosplay schedule, I really want to do a Zombie Powder cosplay, either Wolfina or Geraldine (with the giant axe XD). i've only seen one person cosplay from ZP and they did an awesome Gamma, but have yet to see Wolfina or Geraldine done.
I'm not sure that magikano is NOT well known, but since I've never seen someone cosplay from that sereis, I'm going to be Yuri Kurosu.
I have a strong preference toward the MTNN manga though (never like when they make large plot changes); I actually suggested Yuusei (the mangaka) as one of the guest we should think about bringing.
But I'm not sure still if I'll be able to fit it into my cosplay schedule.

yes! Next year I won't be the only JK (aka Twelve Kingdoms) cosplayer! From what I could tell I was it for 2008?
yeah!
Of course that might mean we're that much less obscure if we have at least 2 next year....LOL!
It's fun to cosplay something obscure that others haven't really done, just for the fun of it. To see if there's one or two people that recognize it.
(And then I also like running around with lots of other cosplayers from popular series, too.)
well it's not well known in the US yet because it just started but I plan to cosplay Morte from World destruction ^-^ I would like to get a group together if i can
To debut in 2009, I'm currently working on Prier from La Pucelle Tactics, an older PS2 game. I do not know if she is really a not so well known character but seeing lack of cosplayers cosplaying Prier, I assume she's a rather difficult cosplay to perfect.
Hopefully this works out since the costume itself is made up of multiple layers and its the first cosplay I want to make 110% perfect and accurate. No offense, but I'm a experienced seamstress just I have not made a cosplay of such skin-showing caliber. Wish me luck!

good luck!!! :D
I will be having difficult times with mine too. Im not that experienced and not good at altering patterns. (I always cry to my friend for help)

Thanks! I'll need it since my other friend who is a cosplayer wants me to make original patterns and I'm like... uh no. I may have to make some original patterns for the apron and such, but the underlayers.... I'm going to be finding close enough patterns asap! :-)
funny, i was chatting with a friend who started playing this old RPG and i was flipping thru the strategy guide and since he saw me as Roy he swore I could probably pull off this character as well :

OMG Jerry! Do it!
Random masked henchmen from Genocyber. The ones that look like deranged shy-guys in lab coats, to be exact.
As i'm reading more Soul Eater - here's another (easy?) character I might consider.
his name is ' Free ' and is the guy wearing the jail bird jump suit (the black and white strips)

im going as a character seen 3 times in Naruto (see avatar *names Aoba Yamashiro*), also last year i went as Count D, and only 5 or so people knew who i was >>
I finally came to a decision.
It's kinda considered anime, kinda not.
Princess Irene from The Princess & The Goblin.
Huhu, I'll look like a random lolita maid with the modifications I'm making to the outfit.
I did Hakuro from Utawarerumono last year (2007). I may actually bring him back for 2009 with a new mask and perhaps the metal war fan this time.
Possibly Sasazuka Eishi from Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro if I have time. Although it looks like the series has been mentioned on this thread already? XDD
I'm planning Akira from ARIA. P:

Maybe if I actually get Alice done, we should run around together. XP
I've done Marion Phauna from Shaman King the last two years. I think I had maybe 5 people recognize me at Fanime 2008. XD

lololol That would be a strange sight. They're kind of the last two people I'd see hanging out together in the manga. XD But yeah, awesome!
i might do kakko from naruto
hes the guy who killed obito and gave kakashi the scare. i wore it to another anime con and no one got it
turns out no one read the kakashi gaiden chapters of the manga =P
I'm really interested on cosplaying Akira (shin version) from Monochrome Factor.
He's outfit is sooo cool!!!!!!!
now i have more to make...=_=:: But i think it will be fun!
EDIT: btw, i just thought that it might be fun to have a "minor anime/character gathering" but what do you guys think?
I did Akira Nikaido from Monochrome Factor for 2008. XD I had two guys and one girl who recognizes me and it's from the manga than the anime. I hope to do it again by making his weapon and probably find another person to do another character from the series.
The manga is good, but the anime series is on crack! XD

As interesting it may sound, but I'd like to not have to worry about gatherings clashing or not having enough time for a wardrobe change for at least ONE costume. The gathering would seem kind of random anyway.

And its really hard to classify what is not well known. When something is so opinion based, it may be that someone will show up in something that they think is and someone else may think it isn't.
It also seems like "not often done" cosplay is sometimes tossed into that category.
Agreed with the last two posters. I already have what might be one to many gatherings to go to as it is ;;
I might do Rouji from Muyho's and Rouji's BSI instead of Higuichi now though. Not sure about that yet though.
I may or maynot be cosplaying as Lil Slugger from Paronioa Agent. I've only seen one other at Fanime, but me and my friend want to do a double threat. ;D
as im in the process of watching Monochrome Factor, I'm starting to like Kou-nii's ray outfit.
hmmm....but im not that adult looking....err.....
well, i have more than half a year to decide

Since I'm not a part of many gatherings, I think a small gathering would be kind of fun. I don't exactly do much at a con anyway and it might be nice to take pictures of people who have their obscure costumes go unrecognized.
xD;; well I am interested in seeing your Sasazuka that's for sure. More Neuro cosplay is always great to see.
Maybe the gathering should be later in the evening; or maybe something like a small dinner or something like that? XD one where we could discuss the virtues of our series/character and get to know other good but under appericated/known about series better. I'm always open to suggestions in anycase.
Tower of Druaga: Aegis of Uruk
by Gonzo.
Uh...maybe.
I had my Chrono Harlaown from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's (epilogue ver.) this past Fanime and I think all of 2 or 3 people might have recognized it :P
