Out of curiosity, who is the anime character with the most class (say a male wearing a suit)and that can be easily recognized?
Why? I want to give cosplay a try but I want to start with something very easy to pull off. Nothing too crazy ; something that a guy with no talent like myself can do ^^
Plus, I enjoy men in suits. And since I don't get to wear them alot, that could be a great excuse ^^
I had in mind the male MC (the enforcer) in PsychoPass. Seems easy to pull off! Any other suggestions? Probably Shizuo from Durarara, Hayate from Hayate no Gotoku, and for fujoshi, the butler from Kuroshitsuji are probably the most recognizable suit wearers (or even the MC from Kuroshitsuji)? I'm sure there's more.
Akabane Kuroudo from GetBackers
Edit: damn it Souma well Akabane is still good.
Tonari no-Kaibutsu on the last few episodes and it's really nice. I think I like it more than Maid-sama but we'll have to see. Maid-Sama does have Suzuna, it's hard to beat that.

For the hair, what kind of gel would be able to do those crazy things?

For crazy hair you usually want to use wax and a ton of hair spray.
Be warned that if you use cheap products then your hair is gonna be all nasty and also flakey.

Recommending Akabane twice is acceptable because hes that much of a badass.

Its because there isn't a lot of thought that actually goes into this type of stuff. If you want to know who wins, without even watching something, most of the time you just need to find out who the main girl is. And then she is gonna win. Because its uncommon for the main girl not to win. In the instances where the main girl doesn't win, its normally because no one does.

hmm it's not that I found it bad or anything, it just felt really bizzare watching it and it didn't really catch my attention. Felt bored once I hit the 5th episode or so, so I moved onto other animes I wanted to watch and never looked back. Why not give it a try for 2 episodes to see if you like it? You'll know if that's the case soon after you start.

I am lazy and I usually don't like to do those "2 episodes just to see if its good" because even if I don't like it I tend to continue anyway just because I started it, which is why I have so many few anime in my "dropped" category on MAL.

Sounds like it's something we need to help you work on I stopped Haruhi 13 episodes in (to be continued at a later date lol) so 2 episodes sounds like nothing I will say though that the art for Tatami was impressive from what I recall.

honestly, I don't really remember. Only thing I remember is that there was some guy who likes a girl and has a close devilish friend who got him into trouble. I think he had some curse or something as well. Rinse and repeat this for 4-5 episodes with different situations in each one lol. Not sure if it continued the trend after that or not. I believe znf watched and liked it or something so he would be able to provide more info on it
I would say art is the difference. As for the story, don't remember it enough to say, sorry.

Yea I can't do the start then stop thing. I like to watch 1-2 shows and only watch them until their done (outside of the weekly releases).
Edit: You liked the art? I clicked on the main characters page and hated his design (seriously those ears are ridiculous).

Loved NGNL's episode: + Show Spoiler +The cheating method seems legit. Shiro being a boss with the 'almost' precognition aspect and Izuna being all over the place. Guess it's no wonder no one else has managed to win this so far. I do wonder that now that she's transformed into beast mode, what will happen? They will win at the end but are we going to get another episode where we see something similar to when they played a game against Jibril. The whole idea of faking the control into shooting the panties to maintain control was brilliant lol.

Slaughter, I think I understand what you mean about Ricardo. Quite sick. + Show Spoiler +I never thought they'll use human bodies/memories for magic fuel after torturing them >.> Also, NOOOOOOOOO! I can't believe they killed Frederica!  I really hope she survives. It was great when she joined in but considering they struck her in the head, I can't see her surviving that So sad
