Fans Pick Their Dream Anime Halloween Costumes

posted on by Lynzee Loveridge

The website Anime! Anime! asked its readers to pick which male and female anime characters they'd like to dress up for Halloween this year. The poll offered choices from some of today's most popular characters but also offered a free input box so participants could write in their choice.

A total of 123 people answered the poll, approximately 44% were male and 56% were female. Approximately half were under the age of 19 and about 30% were in their 20s.

The top choice among men was Kirito from Sword Art Online. The MMO gaming hero remains a popular and easily recognizable choice.

The second top choice was Gintoki from Gintama' The silver-haired lead's wacky facial expressions and comfortable outfit is a fun choice.

Tied for third are Izuminokami Kanesada from Touken Ranbu and Hozuki from Hozuki's Coolheadedness.

The full results are:

  1. Kirito (Sword Art Online)
  2. Gintoki (Gintama')
  3. Izuminokami Kanesada (Touken Ranbu) TIE (3rd)
  4. Hozuki (Hozuki's Coolheadedness) TIE (3rd)
  5. Tsurumaru Kuninaga (Touken Ranbu)
  6. Shinichi Kudo (Detective Conan) TIE (6th)
  7. Eren Jaegar (Attack on Titan) TIE (6th)
  8. Ritsuka Fujimaru (Fate/Grand Order) TIE (8th)
  9. Osomatsu Matsuno (Mr. Osomatsu) TIE (8th)
  10. Eugeo (Sword Art Online: Alicization) TIE (8th)
  11. Arsene Lupin (Lupin the 3rd) TIE (8th)
The top choice among women was Rem from Re:Zero. Given the character's popularity and the ease of finding a French maid inspired costume, she makes for a low-stress choice.

The second top choice was Kiki from Ghibli's Kiki's Delivery Service. Kiki combines the popularity of a witch costume with anime fandom. Her costume is also not particularly complicated despite being easy to recognize.

Coming in third is Kyōka Jiro aka Earphone Jack from My Hero Academia. Her punk aesthetic isn't too difficult to replicate if you can figure out a way to extend your earlobes to your knees.

The full results are:

  1. Rem (Re:Zero)
  2. Kiki (Kiki's Delivery Service)
  3. Kyōka Jiro (My Hero Academia)
  4. Umaru Doma (Himōto! Umaru-chan)
  5. Nico Yazawa (Love Live!)
  6. Ai Enma (Hell Girl)
  7. Jeanne d'Arc (Fate/Apocrypha)
  8. Rei Ayanami (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
  9. Atsuko "Akko" Kagari (Little Witch Academia)
  10. Kaban (Kemono Friends)
  11. Nausicaä (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind)
  12. Mash Kyrielight (Fate/Grand Order: First Order)
  13. Kumiko Ōmae (Sound! Euphonium)
  14. Madoka Kaname (Madoka Magica)
  15. Sakura Kinomoto (Cardcaptor Sakura)
