We've only recently extited what felt like at least 4 years of seeing nothing but Homestuck at cons.
And before that, it was Hetalia.
And before that, it was a mix of Vocaloid and Death Note.
I'm sure there's a word for this oversaturation of (usually bad/mediocre) cosplays from the same franchise, and whatever it is, I think that's what DDLC's going to become. It's certainly popular/accessible enough and the costumes are pretty simple--absolutely something you could buy off of eBay.

Thoughts?

Too obscure right now. Right now the big ones are Kobayashi-san, Final Fantasy, and Boku no Hero Academia. It might have a small wave but it will never be as big as the series you mentioned.

It won't happen. I think Katawa Shoujo was more popular and it didn't have tons of displays, not even close to be saturated.

I kinda want DDLC to take off just so I can hug Sayori

>> No.9756967

It would not go over well when one of you cosplays as Sayori with a noose around her neck.

I don’t think KS had the same initial reach that DDLC did. KS was made by a bunch of 4chan spergs with no memey mind blowing gotcha. DDLC is free, on steam, edgy, and shilled by lets players, and has pretty female characters with no depth that thots can dress up as for upboats.

Ah man, I haven't been to a big con in so long I almost totally forgot about Hero Academia. Katsu will be my first big con in a little over a year, man, it'll be full of BnHA cosplayers for sure

Maybe if KS came out after 2014 or so, around the time Let's Play channels started saturating YouTube, it might have got the same reach DDLC did but I think even then DDLC would probably have more fans because it's edgier, shorter, and easier to overreact to. Unfortunately, not many Let's Players want to play a non-joke/meme/edgy VN like KS.

KS has replay value too, I probably replay it about one every year or two.

BNHA is infinitely more overdone than DDLC can ever hope to be. It has the most cosplayers with usually medicore pre-bought costumes (bad/no masks, party city tier jumpsuits)

It kinda upsets me that the best end for Hanako was through Lily's route, I just want to romance her and have her be a real human bean

I imagine there's gonna be a handful of DDLC cosplay at any given con for the next year or so, but it's never gonna be on the level of the other stuff you mentioned--at the end of the day, it's not a long game (a franchise needs more content to reach the levels of something like Vocaloid/Hetalia/Homestuck), and it only has four characters.

Seconded, BNHA is going to be flavor of the year.

I just came from anime Los Angeles and while yes BHna is the new naruto, Love Live is strong, I think DDLC is the new hyper low effort thing thwts everywhere, the true successor to Homestuxk and heralia

And somewhere in there is the gems anime because They were everywhere.

>>9757031
i think that’s because there’s still a large group of love live cosplayers who still look decent, whereas in the mentioned fandoms most are bad/cringe

Ll also has a lot of accessibility from the game, anime, and concerts, and a slew of decently made costumes pumped out by China
