>>4412607I have to agree, it does seem like everyone is behind. I met some people at Eirta last year and tried to talk about Panty and Stocking, K-on, etc. but none of them knew what I was talking about, which genuinely suprised me (really, K-on?!) because I thought they were pretty popular...
I wanted to cosplay Mami Tomoe from Madoka but I have a feeling if I do, no one will know who I am.
Also applies to what they show in the screening rooms, seriously, do they always have to show a million Naruto movies and if lucky, Haruhi? I never see much variety, they seem to show the exact same stuff every year.
I seen some vocaloid cosplayers and they were like "hey everyone we're so cool we're doing vocaloid, omg you don't know what it is?!?! it's SO big in Japan right now, it's AWESOME!!!11" and then proceeded to explain what vocaloid was by saying "did you ever listen to the caramelldansen?! Yeah, the vocaloids sing that!!11" then follow it up by doing the caramelldansen dance. Oh my god I cannot DESCRIBE how much I wanted to punch them.
Also, I've noticed that only Kaito and Miku only ever get cosplayed? I seen a pair of twins do Rin and Len 2 years ago which were really good, but that's the only time I haven't seen Miku or Kaito.
