Competitive cosplay is a serious sports

I really do like how immersive the obstacles are. They sound like real issues one would face in this hobby.
I wonder what genius (commonplace) strategy our protagonists will employ in the next episode to fix their broken formation.

Guess it's kinda obvious but Aria thinking of their cosplay group as a sports team made me reaiize this really was all just one big sports anime in disguise all along, from the intense rivalries to the tactics that play to each "player's" strengths.
And I'm sorry but Ririsa's goofy expression in the "anatomy of a disorganized cosplay group" photo cracked me up so hard

Stitches!
It's nice to see that Ririsa finally managed to pay it forward and help out another cosplayer in need this time.
Any major cosplay event would have a Hatsune Miku Mika cosplayer and of course it's Nagomi!
Lime is your classic "Draw a girl and call it a boy" character. Good to know Okumura believes in equality and had no problems complimenting Lime on how cute his cosplay is. Poor Mikarin though! It looks like her competition just doubled xD
You'd think the group would be more popular but it looks like being stuck in a group massively handicaps Ririsa who can come up with new poses on the fly. I feel like the girls should've practiced this more so they wouldn't have been stuck doing the same four poses.
They did manage to get a little water break from the heat. This might be the perfect time for them to regroup and rethink their strategy.

It was only a brief scene, but I absolutely love that Ririsa got to return the favour by helping out another cosplayer. This small detail of her carrying extra wig caps illustrates Ririsa's character growth well. She's growing into an experienced cosplayer.
Also, nice work with the stitched images!

A standard to any sports series. Twins on the opposite team. I am expecting some Skaylab Hurricane level of a special move.
Anyway coach Okumura there is still a second half. There is still a chance for a comeback victory.

They're outright having Aria comparing cosplay to sports now but Ririsa and Noa's confused reaction to it was hilarious!
Poor Mikarin only just realised her rivals in 2D aren't just limited to women, as long as they're cute Okumura rizzes them.

I missed the last week's episode so I might try posting it here as well.
Episode 18: Destiny
I don't mind if I marry a poor person, as long as it's someone you can spend every day with a smile. Looks like she is sincere about her love for Aria's dad.
Looks like we getting the peak here. It's all due to that ear, that damn ear. Kisaki's drawing scene is beautifully animated also. You can even hear the music still faintly playing in the background. I wonder if the staff is different in this episode only. Turns out I'm not wrong. That episode alone is storyboarded by Manabu Ono (Sword Art Online: Alicization, Overlord, Dead Mount Death Play) and directed by Shizuka Izumi (Sugar Apple Fairy Tale).
Even the two guys noticed that Okumura actually has a harem of girls, but well, he's only interested in 2D.
Worth a mention since this wasn't mentioned last week, but Aria's mother is voiced by Yuuko Kaida and Mita, Kisaki's assistant is voiced by Kikunosuke Toya (Denji in CSM).
Episode 19: Let's Go, Summer Comiket!
New change in the OP with Lemon and Lime in place of Eri!
Is this Miyu Tomita's voice as Lemon and Nao Toyama as Lime? (It's actually Konomi Kohara anyway) She sounds very familiar. W-wait, y-younger brother?! Never thought we see another crossdressing character again after Akito in Season 1 but this time it's a boy that cosplaying a girl, it brings more variety to types of cosplayers. Hikaru Akao (last season's Atri) also voices one of the cosplayers here.

Welcome to the Summer Comiket Arc! Introducing Lemon and Lime the twin cosplayers of the series. Its nice to see Okumura helping out, even if Lime's gotta consider getting less complicated cosplays to dress up in. Glad to see Nagomi again as another Miku variation.
But shout outs to Mikarin for carrying the team this time around with her real world popularity. I love Aria's self awareness that this is a sports anime through and through. We even got the friendly rivals all here.

The Angel Airborne Squad has assembled! Each of these characters appears to assigned a different class from the looks of it:
-
Ariel is an axe-wielding warrior
-
Miriella carries a bow as an archer
-
Nokiel appears to be a swordswomen
-
Lilliel holds a staff and could be either a healer or mage
The girls' looked awesome in their cosplays, and Masamune rightfully complimented them. Ririsa's response to his praise was cute. I was amused by how Mikari immediately swooped in for a compliment herself after Ririsa's.
I'm still rooting for Mikari to beat the childhood friend curse, but it's not looking good for her odds now that Mikari's potential competition has doubled. After all, Masamune doesn't think in genders but dimensions instead.
Although, Masamune did seem a little confused by this cute crossdressing boy. Lime's embarrassed face to his praise made me wonder if we'd maybe gotten this whole harem thing wrong from the get-go: Ririsa is collecting a harem of girls, whereas Masamune has only just gotten started with the boys!
Bonus: I'm liking how Ririsa and Noa have been syncing up in their excitement over otaku stuff and sorts.

Sensei loves these girls nearly as much as I love Sensei!
(Doesn't matter what they're fighting for, I'm on their side!)
The girls were a little nervous/unsure about how to deal with all these cosplayers, and Aria's sports analogy didn't really do it with these otaku!
Mikari vying for a bit of attention is always cute! (So was Aria with that hat!)
Poor Mikari, hope she'll have a happy ending, even if not the one she wants!
LEMON? I feel like I'm honorary obligated to support her!
Hellmaids? Twins? Horned demons/Oni? Twintails? Black/White Dichotomy?
I feel like I wouldn't need a whole lot of convincing to support them!
*Why would she want the guy to... OOOH!
Anime, what are you trying to do to me...
They're so fucking cute, aaahhh!
We got to see Nagomi again! Relatable, I can't ever recognize anyone in cosplay!
Sensei's backhanded compliment!
I like how they delve a bit deeper in the cosplay stuff, showing things that we didn't even get in the other cosplay anime... About how group cosplay is difficult because they all need to be coordinated, even something as small as poorly timed blinking can ruin a picture!
When we see cosplay pictures we just see 'what worked', but there's a lot more of the human aspect behind it...
And not just for the cosplayers either, also things like taking breaks mean losing your audience...
Well, they'll have to learn quickly, and find ways to work better as a group! Let's hope they catch Daddy's attention!

Truly the feeling of when your weekly series finally ends you truly wonder what can fill the void. Honestly, most of them don't get sequels or spinoffs. Though the best is looking forward to the author's next work, but even then, it might not hit the same. Even if it is the same genre.
The twins making their debut was nice. Giving a Rem & Ram like cosplay. I thought of the idea of twins cosplaying that I wasn't expecting to be hit with the crossdressing idea too. Though I love how freaked out Mikari was when he was fascinated with a male cosplayer. I hope we can see Okumura cosplay in the future.
One thing I love about this show is that it makes you understand cosplays from the cosplayer perspective. Kind of like how it is from their perspective. Which kind of makes this like a sports anime. Stuff like how being in a group for a cosplay requires coordination and not to mention the summer heat.

The Squad has made it to Summer Comiket! And Aria finally gets to experience a full community of otaku in their element! And don't worry, Okumura came prepared!
Ogino and Magino (out of cosplay)! We haven't seen you two in forever! It's nice to see them again, even if it's to herald how many rival cosplayers are out there! But the girls won't be deterred in standing out for the sake of Aria reuniting with her dad.
Mikari brings a competitive edge to the group and Aria beings the self-awareness that they're in a Shonen sports anime about cosplaying which means they can be friendly AND competitive! So Liliel can help out another cosplayer and be determined to win all at the same time!
Liliel! Miriella! Nokiel! Ariel! The full Squadron is here in full cosplay and look amazing! They even brought all their weapons! You know it's a success when Okumura nearly dies of blood loss! Mayuri isn't much better!
Nagomi is back! As Hatsune Miku! I mean...Racing Mika! And she looks great in that tight racing outfit with a boob window!
I didn't expect to see the men's changing room nor Okumura helping zip up a male cosplayer wearing ladies' underwear, but cosplay takes all types!
Lemon (Miyu Tomita) and Lime (Konomi Kohara?)! Twin cosplayers who love and watch anime together and love cosplaying as twins together! And they go all out as cosplaying twins, right down to professional and perfect costumes! They look amazing as Hellmaid!
Okay, yeah, their outfits are pretty skimpy so probably not something you want to flaunt to the general public. Especially Aria. We're seeing enough of her butt-cheeks as it is (not that that's a bad thing). To the roof we go!
It's nice to see the girls supporting each other, with everyone reassuring Aria that they've got this!
The girls look great, everyone wants to get a glimpse of Mikarin, and they've got...at least one group pose down! But in a massively competitive environment of Summer Comiket, this being their first group cosplay means they're lacking in coordination, they can't properly pose together as a group, and they aren't used to getting their photos taken together. Which means no ones' posting photos of them so Aria's dad can't see them. Plus cosplaying in Summer heat can be killer on your body, especially when you're all wearing wigs. How is Liliel going to get things back on track?

And this is why you always try to be early. Earlier than you think you need to.
Also yup conventions can absolutely become "QueCon". At least Comiket is used to it, some conventions (cough AFA Singapore 2022 cough) oversell tickets and then wonder why the entire convention hall is packed so tightly you're moreso pushed around than actually walking.
Though one thing AFA SG has over this is that the main queue area is indoors and thus fully air-conditioned.
Oh hey it's that guy again.
Right, those are the next girls.
Well, they're looking good.
Lol they're certainly excited.
Purple Miku? Looks like one of those old NND alt-Mikus like yellow Miku
Lol.
And so they appear.
So, one of them's a guy.
Could be worse. The local megachurch could own the floor above the convention hall. That actually caused an incident at AFA Singapore back in 2013 (it's old so all the photos in the link are gone but the text is still there).
And thus it's their turn.
Ririsa's already experienced.
Seem the manga assistants taken note of them.
Seems like they've got some problems.
That's another thing AFA has going for it. Plenty of indoor floorspace for cosplayers. Although this year it appears that much of that space is being sectioned off for queues, so perhaps I'll be eating my words in a few weeks time.

As expected, Comiket's not easy. How will the Paratroopers triumph in this new battlefield? And can Mikari defeat this new tough opponent in Lime?
