Cosplay

[Adept_Aiden]

So I have been wanting to go to a convention sometime cosplayed as a .hack character but I run in to a few problems...I'm not sure exactly who to go as. I thought for a while I'd go as Albireo from AI Buster but then I played the first installment of GU and I like Haseo a lot lol. After thinking about it for a few days I cam up with the thought that maybe I would make my own costume and go as an Adept Rouge of my own design...What do you people think?

I've seen an influx of Haseo cosplays and while I love the man dearly, the fact that other people do as well makes me feel like I'm vying for his attention.

Albireo does sound like a neat concept for a cosplay, but go wherever you wish with this one. Your own Adept Rogue isn't entirely implausible. XD

Azure Kite is also a good person to cosplay as.

Azure Kite is also a good person to cosplay as.

Almost as overdone as Haseo, though.

I recommend all females cosplay as Pi



Took this shot at Anime Central 2009, where dothackers hosted a .hack panel.

I recommend ALL cosplayers dress as Alkaid... so I can pelt them with various objects... or not since I don't go to conventions. <3

Better idea, try going as ANY IMOQ character that isn't Kite, Blackrose, or Elk. Just so you don't dress as a character that's stupidly overdone.

Agreed! XD

[Kuukai]

I wholeheartedly support this Pi initiative. I also wanted to mention that one time at ACen I saw an original .hack cosplay, so it has been done. It was a random wavemaster. Anyone who knows the aesthetic can probably figure it out, so it's certainly a viable alternative to a specific character.

Hey I'm makeing an Alkaid cosplay D~:< You know I hardly ever see .hack// cosplayers its very sad...

[Adept_Aiden]

I agree, it is pretty sad that there aren't many .hack cosplayers. I think that I should get a group together and we should cosplay anime/game characters that are looked over...

That's not entirely true, since the first anime series broadcasted, there's been numerous counts of dothack cosplayers.

Just finding them all and uniting them together would be tricky part. They're all over the net and some even not from the net. Here on this forum, other forums, various blogs including livejournal groups, deviant-arts and even facebooks. Most aren't from dothack specific groups but general cosplay groups, so you may have more luck at an anime in general cosplay group blog, site, or forum and asking how many cosplayed in dothack.

[Kuukai]

There are generally a decent amount at ACen, but most of them didn't come to our panel. ;_; Kinda amazing considering we did get a whole roomful of .hack fans.

[Adept_Aiden]

Hmhm! I know that there have been a lot, but a group was what I was talking about. I've seen 1 .hack cosplayer ever in person, but even on the web it's rare that I find an even small group all cosplaying together. I would love to see 1 group do cosplays for all the characters from both the first and second .hack games. (.hack and .hack GU)

[azureeagle]

I'm pretty sure that cosplaymagic.com has some .hack Cosplays

If I remember correctly, they have: Atoli, Tsukasa, Elk, and Mistral.

[Avatar_Crim]

I wouldn't mind cosplaying as Crim.. just a matter of making or buying the costume lol.

[twilight_keeper]

my friend Doodle did a pretty good Azure Kite last year at NDK. I was supposed to do Ovan but I didn't have time to get the arm prepped. I hate being a perfectionist sometimes...

[shugo_lover]

But You know its not just short on .hack// cosplay its other cosplays. People here only seem to cosplay as characters from sows that are hott right now like Naruto and Bleach

[twilight_keeper]

That's simply the effect of American Pop Culture. Well, from the otaku perspective at least. Mainly due to the fact that the common viewer and fan of anime has no idea about things that aren't advertised and/or presented on television. Also the fact that most series that were created before 2001 are rather unknown to the mass-populous at large.

[Advent_Winter]

I don't care what anyone says:
This is simply the best .hack cosplay ever created. T_T

[shugo_lover]

I saw the guy that posted that pick on this other forum thing that I cant remember the name of. They said they made everything themself. (but I kinda find that hard to believe)
