Basic Animes to Cosplay

A list of my favourite animes and games for cosplayers who need a little inspiration 

An avid otaku — a slightly derogatory Japanese word that refers to manga and anime fans — and gamer, I have often imagined cosplaying different characters from my favourite animes.

Having been often approached by friends for cosplay ideas, I have decided to offer a list of my favourite, popular anime characters who’d be fun and easy to cosplay.

If the above anime isn’t what you are looking to cosplay as, check out the following game cosplay; League of Legends. Often abbreviated to League or LoL, it is the largest massive multiplayer online role playing game — or MMORPG — in the world.

With a plethora of characters and individualized costumes with different levels of detail to choose from, I’m sure you won’t have a lack of choice.
